You either die a hero, or you live long enough to become Nintendo.

It might be the kind of thing that works sometimes in some situations, but isn't officially supported.

Either way, it used to work for my ShieldTV Pro, but it doesn't work anymore. Doesn't matter how many devices I try to spoof, or how many times I reinstall the app, or how many times I re-login, etc.

Makes me really sad that I formatted the Shield TV. Oh well.

A couple years ago, I used Aurora to install paid games on my Shield TV. Games that Google Play doesn't normally allow on the Shield (like the PS2 era GTA games). Well Google changed something, and it's no longer possible to download and install purchased apps or games through Aurora, even if you log into your Google account. This sucks, because I formatted my Shield TV expecting be able to reinstall these games, but it doesn't work anymore.

Yeah, Aurora is still good, but Google has been crippling it.

Does this mean Aurorastore will be useful again?

When the judge is a GrapheneOS user.

Even monitoring for traffic violation or bad driving is questionable. How are they going to differentiate between bad driving because you weren't paying attention, and "bad" driving because someone cut you off and you had to take evasive action.

Like, maybe just leave me alone and stop trying to collect every bit of data possible on how I live my life. I don't trust them to correctly interpret anything they collect.

The Wii store remains my go-to example when talking to people who actually believe they own their digital purchases.

Like, Nah fam.

GrapheneOS has native call recording without root. I haven't used it in six or eight months, but it worked last time I tried it.

Lately, Megamind and Scott Pilgrim vs the World.

Also, Terminator 2, and lots of others that I can't think of right now.

If you're on Android, NewPipe is a great option.

I went through three Pixels (6, 6 pro, and 7) with Graphene before I finally gave up. Not because of Graphene, but because Pixels break so easily, and even small damage to the screen will almost certainly render the phone unusable. I'm a contractor, and I need a phone that can handle some moderate abuse. But even with Otterbox cases, my Pixels could just not hang.

Sadly, with a heavy heart and a wounded concience, I've gone back to Samsung. Yes, they spy on me, and yes I absolutely detest it, but at least I can drop my phone once a month and not have to replace it or pay $200 for a screen replacement.
