My issue is the same as with DeckHD, the resolution bump is fine.. having to use a modified BIOS? Not so much.

Seems so, neat!

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!

What do you mean silly sounding? Västgötaspets Doesn't sound silly at all

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

Open doors to anyone, by closing them for anyone not pre approved to show up when Trump was there.

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

It is a race and being faster than your competitors means you win. It's a game and the reward is dopamine.

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.

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.

Though no fun Hongda or Joops.

Probably meant in the context of hiding your piracy activities.

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.

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.

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.. :(

Kudos for leaving it up.

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

Just goes "app not supported on rooted devices"

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

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

Instantly if you try playing online.

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.

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

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!

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!

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!

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.

Yeah it seems mostly SEO bait whenever I get results for it. I mostly rely on "awesome" lists on GitHub to find actual alternatives.

Look up YouTube videos on fastest max level on RS3. You can get all your levels to max level with micro transaction loot boxes in a very very short time for a very very large amount of money.

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

It is definitely HP just being HP.

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