Depends on where your going and your threat model, but basically every time you cross a boarder your phone is fair game to be searched and compromised.

Even if you have nothing to hide and your phone gets searched, now you can’t trust it, something may have been tampered or installed, so you have to reset it (at a minimum).

Travel phones might optimize different features (like sharing vpn over hotspot) vs high security (gos), may have different radios, or just less of a pain to replace.

When you travel you may have to install apps that are outside your comfort zone (wechat, velo chat, taxi apps, etc)

When you have a dedicated blanked phone for travel, you become very deliberate about what data you take with you, which is good for corporations and thoughtful individuals.

3 - Since its not getting security updates, should never leave your network or talk to the cell network, its just a conceit to good enough convenience.

Yup! Risk reward balance, but its not on the cellular network, its only on a desk in a protected network, it isn’t a daily driver, and it stays off unless I need to use it. So I’m not wasting a good phone on a stock os, and I have access to the annoying banking apps when needed (rarely)

3 phones.

1. GOS for day to day
2. Travel phone for international trips
3. Super old stock phone for banking just sitting on my desk

Yeah if that scene represented the game it would have been a cool game

What a wild week that was

I’m not a real gamer, just an adult with disposable income and thousands of hours playing games, at least as far as steam tells me… so maybe I’m a problem gamer?

I have no idea about the whole steam point system, i totally ignore it… i just buy games on deep discounts… so while I have 6000 hours of play time, I have a backlog of games with 20,000 hours of possible play time, and I will die with steam games I’ve paid real actual money for that I have never, ever, ever played.

Yeah if things are fine and I bought the game I don’t leave a review. Only if it’s exceptionally good, or I feel I need to warn others do I take the time to review.

Basically if I bought a game and put more then 5 hours into it and didn’t have anything to say, that is my positive appreciation signal

I’ve got 2000 hours in Factorio and haven’t left a review on steam…

I should do another run

Yup! How many modern programmers actually know how to do assembly? Could actually program a complex program only in machine code

All of the tools and abstractions we build allow people to be productive at the cost of efficiency. The next generation of tooling will be no different

The best version has warts?

Hop into a discord game group, going to an empty voice room, stream yourself playing the game. People will join and ask to join you.

In my experience people want to join other people doing something cool. You just have to be the trailblazer

Lots of finger travel! I wonder what the wpm would be

Sounds like git without the hub

I’ll buy it … At launch price.

GOS let’s you set network access

Haha. This isn’t evil… if you want evil ideas let’s talk about moving walls when the player isn’t looking

I’ve been playing the blue prince recently, it’s put me into a mood :)

Depends on the context of the game. If you have clues, maps, items, mechanics that would assist an adventurer then having a maze with islands would be rewarding for the invested player.

I.e. leaving footsteps in the sand, or being able to paint walls, or leave breadcrumbs, or finding a old incomplete map

no loops where you can return to a point without retracing your original path

The downside of not having little floating islands in a maze is you can solve them by always going right (or left).

This is a excellent game, I can’t recommend it enough. If you like cerebral games - play this one. Don’t watch reviews, don’t read spoilers. Just play it blind.

You can have different default apps in your work profile and main profile

If the chip isn’t bga then you can cut the pins, if it is a bga you can use a heat gun to get it to separate

Best bet is to buy a tablet device and then unsolder the radio

If your having unsatisfying location, go through this guide to turn on Google everything for location.

You will need to grant “Allow all the time” Location access to Google Play services along with the Nearby Devices permission for it to have all the access it needs. You need to use the “Google Location Accuracy” link from the sandboxed Google Play configuration menu to access the Google Play services menu for opting into their network location service, otherwise this is all pointless

Remote hands

So the core video complaint is here

Your $70 Doesn’t Buy You Cruelty

Where I think he makes a crossed point about social media. Attacking a game worker on social media who is just minding their own business isn’t cool, I agree.

However, responding to a game workers taunts on social media is exactly the engagement social media was designed for. That’s why the creatives are there calling their customers toxic to get engagement

I checked the hash, it matches

I got 3.4 hours into it, I found it very pretty.

The trouble with walled gardens is sometimes they have rusty gates

Anyone have a good terminal recommendation for macos?

Nod in Agreement

Todd Howard seems to be bitter about the love for fnv, so he will never let it happen again

Your right, its better that these bankers can deny a business its income.

If only there was a digital fungible currency that didn’t require a uninvolved third party to allow.

Or change resolution quality

Golf clap.

Probably not what they wanted, no.

About 1m estimated sales on steam, so probably 2m across all platforms, not bad - I wonder what her next project will be?
