I have a 12vdc direct power USBC charger for my tablet. This will totally fry any normal USBC device it touches.

Nine times out of ten, running chown on Android is an astronomically bad idea. 10 times of 10, what you’re trying to do right now, is an astronomically bad idea.

What is it you are trying to do? Or rather, why?

The best YouTube TV app for desktops is YouTube TV.

Look up PS4 Pro Leanback UserAgent and I recommend using that with Chrome because Firefox has a little bit of bugs. If you use it as a web app it works pretty well. The one caveat is you cannot exit out of it without enabling a developer flying in Chrome, without that flag you need to use alt + f4.

You want to use a web app or kiosk mode, specifically because resolution that you get in video is determined by the window size at startup, so if you have a 4K display, it needs to be full screen at start or else you will not get 4K video. Playback, you’ll only get 1440p.

Otherwise, just full screen it, then refresh.

I personally have found that the kodi plugin is quite frankly not very good.

Cromite. It’s easily the fastest browser i’ve used. Good baked in adblock is all I really need, and the increased performance and compatibility vs firefox is nice.

how much of that is due to people actually being able to actually buy a s24, or because that just what happens to be their phone carrier’s option? when selling phone it’s extremely important distinction, most people can get their phones “significantly cheaper” so to speak, via their carrier.

As an ex cellphone salesman I have never seen any carriers here in canada selling phones in like, pretty much the last decade almost now. Canadian here. Rodgers, Bell, Koodo, Fido, off the top of my head, none sell sony phones.

Now I did often try to sell cellphones to folk out right since IMO it’s far better to own the device and pay for a cheap plan, but to do that, phones need to actually be affordable.

Why People Arent Buying Sony Xperia Phones

because they are fucking expensive

Well, tracker2.postman.i2p just told me upon loading it that it’s under heavy load. In the past few days it seems to have a steady 1-2 dozen new torrents a day. The site has statistics but seemingly only for the past day, however this is roughly what I expected, or maybe less.

Im talking more about the total amount of users/swarm size. it didn’t have much list I checked, aside from a couple really popular torrents hitting around maybe 2-3k peers.

I mean piracy activity wise, it seems fairly head. maybe im just remembering differently since pirating was a bit less popular, but it feels like it was more healthy in the past.

is i2p even worth it anymore? I checked a while back and it seemed pretty dead. not too many people at all

Cloudflare: “I have plans!?”

Among the other things that have been said, Android auto often makes use of some tricks too. Things like hibernation that phones typically do not do (Probably the biggest one right here), Animations to hide loading time, loading some critical, but not latency sensitive services until after the boot. and some other misc service management stuff.

the only iptv I get is from the iptv github, never had any luck finding much else then that, especially since the canadian iptv website died, I do wish we had better free epg

in general, an application can allow you to log in to do things like like and comment, but most applications choose to instead. Comments might be a bit more tricky, but applications like smart tube next support liking and disliking.

It could also be possible to do what grayjay does, and simply open a webview for the video in question

native alpha works with any application, and is a manager of sorts. so it’s quite a lot more ergonomic and reliable to use.

right? gotta wonder why it was even posted in the first place

AOSP has no default PDF viewer, many GAAPS (official roms, custom roms with full gapps etc.) roms do have a pdf viewer by default.

There are many available PDF viewers around making a good pdf viewer is actually pretty hard, I reccomend just trying a bunch on fdroid and seeing what sticks out to you.

This has been a thing for a long time

skia doesn’t actually have that many alternatives, and skia is well maintained used by a large amount of projects. and none I am aware of are nearly as mature as skia is.

Honestly, I’m not sure that’s quite a good takeaway. The article itself was pretty much a bland nothing burger and the articles that were cited were, again, pretty bland. The biggest thing I can find is that they won’t be facing off another browser and then it’s like, well duh.

It’s just one of those things. It just feels like the original dude said one thing and the author interpreted it a completely different way.

saying ‘no code’ from rivals seems highly misleading, and I can’t seem to see a hard citation for this, in fact, it very directly contradicts this same sentence from the article

He also said that unlike SerenityOS, Ladybird will “leverage the greater OSS ecosystem,” meaning that it will use other open source libraries for some features.

it would be better to say they aren’t relying on libraries and features from rivals. not that they will use “no code” from them, good code is good code afterall
