No fuggin doubt.

And you know what irks me more is when you buy things from places like eBay or other third party seller websites (where you've consented to their cookies/terms) your email address you use with them is then in the hands of a goofball who's had their ~~personal~~ business PC been compromised.

The few times I use eBay the email addy I use on their sees my inbox flooded. Fucking shitshow.

I'm unsure if there's something on Lemmy for that, but it's definitely something that helps the community since most mod actions I recall are poking people in the right direction like PAAFM.

Awesome team and community over there, and there is the old wiki pages too 🤔

It's really strange, and testing via ProtonVPN some do and don't work.

But I think where I've found my main issue is the Exit Node I have at a family member's house that I use through Tailscale.

None of them work on that connection and, I don't know if it makes a difference but it is a CGNAT'ed connection whilst my exit node at home seemingly works fine and has an external IP.

Thanks for the confirmation!

I take out Google Play Movies/YouTube/YouTube Music etc on every phone I buy these days especially since YT is a website and should not, be a system app and replaced by Newpipe.

Other than that I also like to delete my DCIM folder every now and then since it gets backed up to "my cloud" and seems to keep things, cleaner?

Shout out to SD Maid if you're keen on cleaning things up?

AP telling me things are not interesting smells like clickbait.

Why the hell did that happen?

I kinda like the camera layout?

While it reminds me of the 🥺 emote, it'll sure be an interesting device @£319 and midrange buyers / tinkerers.

I have a Cubot King Kong 5 Pro. Yes, it's named that.

I haven't even had the endurance to test its battery life. Thing lasts forever if it has no SIM card / WiFi / BT and might as well be a MP3 player that lasts you weeks.

edit: I turned it on 5 days ago after this comment and turned weefee/BT/NFC off. 85% remaining.

Should be a fun thing to watch.

Funny you mention that, I had the M7/8 like OP and also had one of those Dot Matrix cases for mine which gave you a second screen so to speak. You could even use custom apps with it.

Another thing I bought at the time was one of these for the headphone jack. Never really caught on thou :/

How long have you had your S7?

That must be knocking on a bit now, and to be honest you could save yourself some wonga but still enjoy an upgraded experience even with some older...ish Android phones.

Which brings me to another question. Is Samsung the only OEM you're looking at, because there're some pretty good deals from others such as Moto/Xiaomi/Sony etc?

Obvious elephant in the room is some of these mobile environments are stigmatized by the need for "security" and taking away the freedom of what a desktop OS offers.

The very best example is the background playback of audio on a website called YouTube.com.

Why you can't play things in the background (yes, I have Kiwi etc and can do this) on mobile is very very telling, and will only get more restrictive.

Exactly, and the way it work(ed) on reddit was a non-plus from the start, especially if you modded moderately large subs hence me never blocking anyone other than those annoying accounts.

The art of ignoring is key ;)

Yeah I'm just been a little tongue in cheek and keeping your screen active would probably make Greta mad and possibly lead to burn in on your screen.

Both of these are undesirable, and there might be something out there for ya. Gotta ask, why, do you want this specifically?

Like I unplug maybe once a day so it's not an issue here, but curious why it's irking you?
