I also would like to know. My Moto G 5G suddenly lost fingerprint reader (as in, it’s not even an option in settings anymore) and I think I need to reflash it.


I’m not following closely and haven’t gamed on PC in a while but:

Denovo is a technology that is supposed to prevent copying games (DRM). Not sure what it’s current state is or might be mixing it up with other DRM, but DRM is known for causing headaches for paying customers. Using excessive system resources, refusal to launch for legitimate paying customers, spyware/excessive data collected and sent to a corporation, etc. In some games, volunteers will patch bugs out of a game, and this will cause the game to think it’s cracked and refuse to launch.

Some DRM is “phone home” and can’t be played offline, so people in remote areas can’t play. And sometimes the company doesn’t want to keep servers online when the game has been out for 10 years, so people that purchased the game can no longer play.

In this case, the company let reviewers rate the game and got the initial scores and sales, then pushed the unpopular DRM update. It’s scummy. If you’re using it, then use it. Don’t bait and switch.


Yep. Still can’t unsubscribe. Uninstalled the app and reinstalled. Still there. I’m allowed to unsubscribe the other podcasts.

I used to use pocket casts, but I’ll give all the apps mentioned here a try. Google podcasts integrated with auto mode in maps which I’ll miss, though.

I’ve already lost Google music for the pretty much non-functional YouTube music. Google is losing their talent.


It behaves the same on their website, which doesn’t use the app at all. I think it’s back end. Which is why I was hoping there was a way to block it. Maybe I can turn on the explicit filter? I’ll have to resubscribe to most afterwards.

Edit: I’m not able to turn on the explicit filter. App or web.


Bizarre problem today: I was force subscribed to a Logan Paul podcast and I can’t unsubscribe.
I noticed a new background image on the Android podcast app this morning. I thought one of my podcasts changed their icon art. Nope, it's a Logan Paul podcast. I've never listened to any of his stuff. I only heard about him when he challenged someone to an MMA fight I think? I only listen to Behind the Bastards, The Dollop, and Prosecuting Donald Trump, plus occasionally My Brother My Brother and Me. I figured maybe one of my kids had subscribed or I had hit a subscribe button on the home page. Well, in the app, when I unsubscribe it immediately re-subscribes. I saw where other users had the same problem and it went away after an hour. This was 11 hours ago. I pulled it up on the Web version of Google podcasts. It looks like it unsubscribes but if I refresh, I'm subscribed again. Any ideas? Is there a way to block a podcast? Edit: Problem still persists 24 hours later. I'm not allowed to turn on the explicit filter either. On the app or on the web interface. What's a good android program that will record video of my screen and highlight taps? I want to record this. I think I still have OBS studio on my computer to show the web behavior.
