Pretty good 😂 I got it shipped from my parents. Owning both LCD and OLED versions. Definitely enjoying the OLED one.

I use Proton Pass and Ente Authentication (2FA).

I can’t access my Proton Mail without my 2FA, additionally I can’t even access my 2FA without my email address (verification code is sent to my mail to unlock my 2FA codes + I need the master password). If i lose one of them I am screwed you would say, but it’s not the case.

What I did is to write down my Proton Mail Password and its secret code for 2FA + My Ente Authentication credentials (mail + master password). This way I will always be able to access my Proton Mail, even if i lose access to my 2FA app.

This is the worst case scenario, i also have a second phone where i keep Proton Pass and 2FA logged in, so if I lose my main phone, I am not completely locked out.

I forgot to mention it, i use Aliases for everything, even my 2FA has one. This is basically hack proof, because they will never know the true email address (if they get the hand on my alias) where i receive the verification code. 👍

The only way they could steal your data is if they hack in your smartphone, or if you connect to shady Wi-Fi. Stay Safe Boys!

QBittorrent has been my torrent Client for 4/5 years at this point, never having problems. It works on my Steam Deck too (Arch).

Trasmission never worked well for me, on the other hand qBittorrent did the job perfectly.

Like is not PRO, because you can do some light gaming on it, but definitely a good machine in my opinion.

I think everything goes against the battery? Did you try to recalibrate it? Discharge the battery completely, and then go into the BIOS and wait until it turns off. Now charge it for a couple of hours while it stills off.

I don’t think it is gonna fix anything, because it seems like a battery problem. Maybe try to get one from iFixIt, I had bad experiences with batteries from Amazon (if you got it from them).

I usually use that to install updates.

OnlyFan contents are pirated and shared on a daily basis as any other media. But because there are not many requests for it (also since consuming directly on OnlyFan hits differently, as you talk with the actual girl), and in part because of NSFW nature, you will find them only if you actually search for them.

Sure thing, you will never encounter this kind of content on common NSFW websites 😁

I agree 100%, most messages are just bots, and now with the surge of AI it will be much harder to distinguish a real person from a computer.

I was pretty disappointed to be honest. Support also offered to replace the unit, but the problem is I am in Australia, so it would be a pain to do that.

Lucky for me Steam Deck is a quite repairable device. 😁

Why don’t you try becoming comfortable with Linux while using it in a Virtual Machine? I tried different distros too, and then I decided which one was the best for me.

We can’t really suggest you one, if we don’t know what you are going to use it for.

You may want to do some research, because different distros have different purposes (gaming, privacy, programming, easy to use etc etc).

Let us know, what your use cases will be?

Sterben, 5 months ago

Good job on that! Linux is way better for average uses like you described. 😊

Sterben, 5 months ago

It was hard for me too, but PopOS made my life easy back in the day when I first tried.

No drivers needed, everything worked out of the box, including the Nvidia GeForce 2060 Mobile. So I just needed to get comfortable with the OS in general.

As others have said, it may be the same WiFe.

I am pretty sure the iPhone is listening though, because I saw a prank where a woman whispered to the husband’s iPhone about baby stuff (to have a baby), and he complained about receiving a ton of ads about baby stuff just after that. So yes, welcome to the apple garden ahah

I am using Beeper Mini: it is kinda cool to be honest. If you care to try it, now is the best time, because it’s free for a limited time. Of course, you need to use your apple id, and you can’t use your number (but they are trying to fix it).

After it will be 2$ a month.

Sterben, 5 months ago

Yes, It makes sense. I don’t have a Mac at the moment, so I can’t do the same as you 😁

I got destroyed while i was using my deck to complete the Gemini Summons Challenge.

Like, you can see i am not pkaying for the win, why you want to win so badly (Master 1).

Surface the Web with VPN, Ad blocker, Anti-Tracker, use Linux. In 5 years, I have never encountered a virus or a trojan. Following these 4 “rules” and you’ll be fine on any website.

Sterben, 6 months ago

Yes, true that. :)

Sterben, 5 months ago

Really extreme, but good to know. 😉

Probably they will add a way to sideload APKs iPAs on device, without 3th party tools.

They might increase the 3 apps limit too.

Sterben, 6 months ago

Are you sure you want to use shady 3th party service like that? You wouldn’t want to break out of Apple’s eco system, wouldn’t you? 😂

Jailbreak? Jailbreak is dead since iOS 15 but ok 🤙 Nowadays, buying an iPhone to jailbreak afterward, doesn’t make much sense at this point. You pay so much to get stability and constancy, and jailbreaking takes both away.

As ex jailbreaker, I switched to Android for this reason.

Sterben, 6 months ago

iPhone 8 stills fine for jailbreaking, but newer devices have more security layers that need to be bypassed, therefore you will have stability problems.

Also now, jailbreaks are rootless, which I don’t know what really means (probably less tweaks functionality).
