It’s entirely useless. Even more advanced views such as BetterBatteryStats or analysing a bug report only give minimally useful information.

The best you can do is disable shit you don’t need and measure what impact that has on power draw (usually measured in %/h).

I just pull important stuff via ADB.

I do that via git-annex’ ADB special remote but it’s just an abstraction over pulling the files manually.

This is not an Android feature. This is a Google feature and I believe it relies on a round-trip through their servers too.

I consider Beat Saber to be one part of the essentials pack of modern VR gaming. As a rhythm game fan, it’s what got me hooked on VR

I’m not a rhythm game fan; Beat Saber is the only one I play an it’s amazing. It’s worth getting VR for this game alone.

[email protected] btw.

I missed that; OP is from a Lemmy instance indeed.

I think it’s the other way around then: those hashtags turn into actual hashtags when federated to the microblog fediverse. I verified this with mastodon. Only works in the title though because post bodies don’t get federated in Lemmy for some reason.

It’s a microblog post. You can simply @ a Lemmy community and the very same post becomes a Lemmy post in that community too.

It’s quite useful to reach i.e. a niche audience and you shouldn’t make fun of people utilising the fediverse to its full extent.

The OS is Android but “degoogled”, so no Google espionage services or play store etc. It’s quite nice actually.

I’m pretty sure you can flash the stock FP4 ROM too though.

What exactly does she need the SD card for? If she just needs to transfer files to and from an SD card, an external reader (via USB) might be sufficient.

3.5mm jack can be substituted with an external adapter too and they’re not even half bad.

Both suboptimal of course but small phones that don’t suck are rare enough as is.

If size is the most important, get an a-variant Pixel.

TL;DR deny the permission via appops via ADB.

Well, it’d be best if that wasn’t required and it simply worked with the formatting that works everywhere else.

It’s formatted correctly on lemmy web and Github. I think the problem is on your end.

Dashes are valid list item markup in Markdown but some implementations require a paragraph above the first list item, no matter which marker. Reddit used to do that IIRC.

Sync used to be a Reddit app right? This might be a relic of that time.

What I posted is already formatted. It’s the exact same markup as the upstream release note in fact.

It’s as good as the data it’s given by the battery controller of your particular device.

Nah, at least the display and ideally USB port need to be replaceable too. The display is way too easy to damage in normal use. Camera module damage is also conceivable given the prevalence of bumps.

It’s a LineageOS thing AFAIK. I’d be a bit surprised if GrapheneOS had it since they’re quite close to stock AOSP when it comes to customisations that don’t relate to security or privacy.

According to the author, that has happened quite a while ago and we’re now at the next step.

The Immich app.

Although since it doesn’t really function as a full gallery app yet, so I have Fossify gallery installed as a backup to open images in via intent.

I only learned about Aves today and trying it out for the same purpose, I think I like its picture viewer better.

Archive is/ph/today etc. is playing dirty with DNS and actively lying to Cloudflare and some others too I believe. They all do not work.

I had to hard-code their IP address in my hosts file.

Waitwaitwaitwaitwait, haha Intel did us dirty again. There is no performance improvement whatsoever, they just lowered the internal resolution. The 10% “performance improvement” is simply the difference between 2.0x and 2.3x upscaling. Malicious fuckers.

There may be a quality improvement but that cannot be determined by anyone affiliated with Intel as they’re clearly using every opportunity to lie about this. WTF?

I can see where you’re coming from but it’s probably less of a hassle than finding and going to an in-person shop.

Since when does MS access run on IBM mainframes?

At least they now allow passwords over 8 characters (yes, serious).

Are you 100% certain they don’t just truncate your password to 8 characters?

If you’ve done an OEM unlock, you effectively already have root access to the device. You could boot a custom recovery right now and modify any system file.

“Rooting” just means using this privilege you already have in order to install a tool into the OS such that you can make use of this privilege while the regular OS is booted.

Go install Magisk and do the safetynet dance. It’s a whole thing but should give you a “clean” device from the perspective of unprivileged apps. It’s stupid that you have to do this but here we are.

Indeed. “Smallest width” dev setting of 600 is the smallest DPI that is considered “tablet” by android. Setting it to that makes the setting magically appear.

The reason for that appears to be that the tab bar takes up about half of the screen on lower DPIs. It’s hilariously large.

That setting does not exist for me

Archive.is doesn’t load for me, could you post the original link?

Android can do that by itself these days; at least LineageOS can.

If your issue with fingerprint stopping to work is anything like the issue I experienced in home-brewed LineageOS on my Fairphone 4, the only solution is to wipe userdata.

The actual text for reference:

Video games in the form of computer programs, embodied in lawfully acquired physical or downloaded formats, and operated on a general-purpose computer, where circumvention is undertaken solely for the purpose of allowing an individual with a physical disability to use software or hardware input methods other than a standard keyboard or mouse.

That explicitly only applies to physically disabled people. Yuzu is not specifically targetted at providing a different input method (at all) and certainly not solely for the physically disabled.

That exception is not relevant to this case.

The dumps are just that: Dumps; 1:1 copies.

The tools don’t decrypt anything; that happens within Yuzu. Why else would users need to provide the prod keys to Yuzu?

It’s illegal to circumvent copy protection under the DMCA (something I wholeheartedly disagree with), but it’s not illegal to make something that can be used to circumvent copy protection.

It is explicitly illegal to produce any thing whose purpose it is to circumvent DRM:

(1) No person shall manufacture, import, offer to the public, provide, or otherwise traffic in any technology, product, service, device, component, or part thereof, that—
(A) is primarily designed or produced for the purpose of circumventing protection afforded by a technological measure that effectively protects a right of a copyright owner under this title in a work or a portion thereof;

I’m telling you, that law is mental.

In fact, there are exemptions to that provision and one of them states that circumventing copy protection in order to play a video game using assistive technologies is legal.

Could you point that specific exception in the law? I can’t find it.

Link for convenience: https://www.govinfo.gov/content/pkg/PLAW-105publ304/pdf/PLAW-105publ304.pdf

They’re using the DMCA to say that because Yuzu lets someone circumvent their encryption (which is illegal, but shouldn’t be), that’s the same as Yuzu circumventing their encryption.

Yes, yes they are. That’s how the DMCA works. It’s mental.

You can download and view the latest Yuzu source code for free and do practically whatever you want with it (GPLv3), including building and running it.

What paying via Patreon provides you is access to early access builds of the software. You’re paying for the convenience of them compiling the latest version of the software for you.

Yuzu doesn’t include any form of tooling that breaks encryption

You cannot state that with certainty. That’s the problem.

Yuzu does indeed include a method to use the Switch’s production keys (which you must dump yourself) to decrypt the games. Whether this constitutes effective DRM is not a question that can easily be answered and must be decided by a court on a case-by-case basis.
This will be what the case will hinge on: Is Ninty’s scheme effective DRM?

I would say no because symmetric encryption with a publicly known key may aswell be no encryption at all but that’s not my decision to make.

They aren’t facilitating it, the user has to provide all of that chain of the emulation on their own.

Um, no. The emulator is doing the decryption on its own. All the user does is provide the prod keys and unmodified ROM.

“copied the game ROMs into Yuzu” Yuzu is not a VM or other container and the ROMs are simply stored on disk in their original dumped form… Yuzu doesn’t “store” or “contain” any games.

ROMs are indeed copied “into Yuzu”. They must be loaded into Yuzu’s memory in order for Yuzu to execute their code or render their assets. In copyright law, even loading something to memory constitutes a “copy”.

Also, almost every emulator is a VM; do you think those ARM instructions are running on your x86 processor and its desktop OS kernel natively?

There may also be purple protective cases.

The regular FOSS Intellij Idea is the premier Kotlin IDE and can do Android too. Though Google is usually a slog to throw their AGP integration code over the fence which sucks because projects sometimes upgrade their AGP quite aggressively.

Yeah, I was expecting something like “Yeah, this is an issue, we know. It’s that way because we had to make a trade-off to enable …” but it was mostly just lame excuses or just talking about something entirely unrelated to the point being made.

Like the thickness of the device and bezels. Just accept it, the FP is thicc. It’s a conscious trade-off you made. Be open about it. Don’t whine about measuring with the camera bump included (if anything, measuring from the bump gives the FP an advantage since its bump isn’t as thic as others?). If the bezels are a little thicker than the competition, just state why that is (i.e. to make it easier to replace).

Had to stop watching after that or I would have died of cringe.

Why do you feel the need to change phones? Pixel 6 Pro should still be plenty good enough.

If its stock ROM bothers you, you’re in luck because Pixels are surprisingly hackable and it’s very easy these days.

No need to worry about Google services, they work: https://grapheneos.org/usage#sandboxed-google-play

Owning one of those can come in handy anyways.
