I prefer the TI-83 version from early 2000s. https://www.ticalc.org/archives/files/ss/243/24338.gif

Why would I choose this over LibreWolf?

Its not even a free market. Check the protectionism keeping Chinese EVs out of the US. Its more like the land of corporate profits.

OK cool. I’ve played around with blocking net permission for other apps on Graphene and confirmed it really kills Internet access. I’ve been on Nova since I started on Android many years ago. Old habits are hard to give up. I’m in the same boat and haven’t found a replacement launcher either.

I’m still running Nova on Graphene. I revoked the network permission. That should mean I’m safe from spying, right?

I feel legitimately bad when I see friends and family obediently sitting through ads. I absolutely do install extensions and 3rd party clients to remove ads. I alslo help my parents and close family install ad-blockers. I just don’t want to be the guy who gets blamed when YT changes something and a 3rd party instance, client, or extension inevitability breaks. Just because I keep up on the latest blocking methods, doesn’t mean I wouldn’t like an ad-free experience for all.

Nah, Transmission just gets kinda buggy when its loaded with hundreds of torrents. Its fine for light use (or perhaps if you have a ton of RAM). But it definitely gets laggy and occasionally unresponsive after running a few days.

No way. Anyone have a link? Its gotta at least have electronic fuel injection. A 2025 Benz with a carburetor and old school distributor is not believable.

I can 2nd that SyncThing works well with KeePass. I have it running on Windows, Android, and a few Debian computers (guys, I use Linux) and I’ve never had an issue. I just checked (and apparently I’m a thug), because I’ve been using “No File Versioning” for years. You may want to opt for any of the available options to err on the side of caution. As long as you’re adamant about syncing any changes ASAP (and not modifying the database on 2 different devices simultaneously), you won’t have issues. Even when I have screwed up (by editing the DB on 2 devices), the KeePassDX client on Android has handled it gracefully and allowed me to merge the conflicts. I also always keep regular backups of my database outside of the whole SyncThing monstrosity (just for worst case scenarios). Cheers mate, give a whirl.

Thanks! Will do! I have since bailed from Verizon, so that seems like a long shot.

Gotcha. Thanks for confirming I’m scewed. Its definitely a Verizon-specific Pixel 5 I bought used and I ran for a bit.

Are there any alternative OS options for a Pixel 5 with a locked bootloader? Edit: I think carrier-locked is the more accurate term. The option to unlock the bootloader in developer options is greyed out.

If you think you’re paraphrasing me, that’s incorrect. I love my Pixel 5. Its still very much a capable device and its a shame Google stopped supporting it. The fingerprint reader is more accurate than the one on my Pixel 7 and I prefer the smaller size. Mine unfortunately has a locked bootloader, so upgrading to an actively-updated OS is not an option for mine. The 5 is far from garbage and I’m sad Google abandoned it.

Totally unrelated, but I just want to let you know: the last security update for Pixel 5 was a few months ago. You should stop using that phone as soon as possible.

You’re right. I think we’re looking at the same blog spam. They may not have working magnet links, just sketchy direct-download sites. My Sonarr just picked it up tho. Looks like Milkie has it now. I’m sure it will hit fully public torrent sites soon.

Search “The.Daily.Show.February.12.2024.WEB.h264-RBB” and you will find links and magnets.

Gotcha. A ZigBee/Z-wave plug was the first thing that came to mind. I’ll probably go the same route. I was merely saying that wireless-anything is less dependable than wired. But I don’t even know if wired smart plugs exist. I use wireless sensors around my home and I’ve never had an issue with dependability. I definitely wasn’t considering Z-wave as a local attack vector. I was just brainstorming some way to avoid a wireless solution for something where dependability is paramount.
