I had an employer that uses Santander for pension, within a day of them adding my info into Santanders systems my email that has never gotten spam before in over 10 years (custom domain, only every used for government stuff or employment stuff) got 20-30 spam emails. It keeps getting 10 or so a day since then.

Big banks WILL sell your info.

Welcome to greentext

Kinda handy during first time setup though. Can easily be 30 system apps updating, plus all the shit you might be grabbing from previous installs.

The app for my bank DNB (Norway) doesn't work on my LineageOS phone, but it works on my GrapheneOS phone. I wonder if they've added the graphene keys, because it just suddenly started working a while ago, though might be some GrapheneOS magic

This was all I had on hand, goes into setting it as default but does also decently show why it is good

I think they have a delivery hold on it right now for some issue they have to fix, again!

I switched when a Windows update for the third time in a month forcibly changed the default pdf and html file association to edge.

That was like 5 years ago, and I've never looked back.

Did this (on purpose) to HP laptops we were discarding at work (Elitebook G5) and you kill the entire USB-A part of the machine.

10/10 would HP again

Google play one specifies UGC (user generated content) so it definitely means being able to block someone entirely

Because if you live in oppressive countries without privacy laws, your ISP can/will also rat you out. Like the USA.

Work gave me an iPhone, it has been pestering me with "ACTIVATE YOUR FREE 3 MONTHS OF APPLE TV PLUS" once a week since new, and the same for iCloud storage, and the games service, and apple music.

I got 4 notifications a week at random times of the day from the system itself telling me to make sure I signed up for their free trial with my credit card before the 3 month period where the deal was available is over.

This has never happened on a Pixel for me, sure they pester you about Google One plans etc on first setup, but they shut the fuck up after you say no.

PSN (PlayStation Network) is available in 73 countries.

It was PSNow (PlayStation Now, their game steaming service) that was only in 19 countries. PSNow was merged into PlayStation Plus as the Premium level package, and is in 30 or so countries.

Though no fun Hongda or Joops.

And also as a Norwegian I don't know a single person that uses iMessage.

Everyone I know are using Facebook messenger, Snapchat or WhatsApp.

Probably meant in the context of hiding your piracy activities.

GrapheneOS doesn't either. It does Android Hardware Attestation instead of SafetyNet. It has never, and will never spoof SafetyNet.

It played for 1 week in 1 cinema in my entire country.. :(

Nothing for putting it there, but if someone goes to the affiliate link and sign up they get a comission ofc.

Just goes "app not supported on rooted devices"

You get a QR code for the new sim, go into the eSIM manager on the phone, and scan it

Instantly if you try playing online.

That's a third party multi cartridge device, not related to the MIG cart at all tho.

The MIG uses its own IDs from what I understand, and if they're invalid (randomly generated) or used by others (not random and used by other MIG users) Nintendo will know, autodetect, and ban you

I do wonder if they'll check if you have played a game via the MIG offline then go online later with a legit game, I don't think they do currently but with the existence of the MIG I am certain Nintendo will make that happen with an update.

That is definitely strange, but might be an overreaction by Valve and not done by Arrowhead.

Edit: Seems it was indeed done by Valve.

Now I can't answer for other regions, but with my carrier here in Norway I can sign in to their website and authenticate with the government ID system (bankid) and generate a new esim and get the QR code. Takes about a minute total.

I'm personally more for physical sim cards as swapping it into a new phone or swapping in a traveler datasim etc is just something I prefer to have physically.

That being said, I use esim for my phone number, and then swap in travel sims for data with my physical sim slot, works really well when you travel a lot.

Finally, all that time making the coolest myspace profile pays off!

My ISP has their own usenet servers. I get access to all the good shit via it, for free.

It used to be possible (probably still is) to use magisk to get around it for my bank, but I stopped caring after the EU did some laws forcing interoperability between banks so I can just use my other banks app to access the accounts for that bank.

Might be worth looking into!

It is definitely HP just being HP.

Other non HP machines we have are just fine if you short the USB-A ports

Mostly iPhones actually, they do use a lot of facetime to be fair, but almost all chatting is Facebook messenger

If you happen to torrent a fair bit (especially public trackers) then ipv6 can make a huge difference, there's loads of ipv6 only seeders and leechers I'm suddenly reaching.

I enjoy taking 4-6 weeks off when it is the hottest here in Europe, and going to the south of New Zealand for a nice holiday in cold temperatures. Flights are also surprisingly affordable when you plan it 6+ months in advance!

LTSC 24H2 released sometime at the end of May? I installed it just recently in a VM..

I've got a physical code generator as backup like any person worried about their phone breaking should have.

I've never been to a hostel, but I can see that type of cheap accommodation not having any sort of cooling yeah. Especially since it honestly hasn't been much of a need for the one week above 25c a year... Too bad that's now more like 3 months

Other way around.

While I don't know for most of Europe, almost everywhere I've been in Northern Europe has had a decent chunk of home have Inverter Heat Pumps installed. Don't really ever see buildings retrofit a central AC system when separate heat pumps per unit do the job.
