You can lock the bootloader again after the flashing process is done(because it will add the signing key of the new OS), but unfortunately the NFC Payments in Google Pay still won’t work because Google only allows it on ‘certified’ Android systems (aka only the preinstalled OS)
It was possible to download lossless FLAC files (they got them straight from Deezer) though, so higher quality than anything downloaded from Youtube etc.
Did you read the sentence before that? A malicious website could read data from other websites(opened in different tabs), and also passwords stored in the browser, etc… There is no additional system exploit needed for that
Here you can find a good explanation on that.
Mull (from the DivestOS developers)
But nowadays I’m using a Chromium based browser on my phone because Firefox on Android doesn’t support process isolation
When the 7a launched the regular 7 was almost the same price already, so the gap is actually bigger than last year. But I guess they’ll just make the upcoming Pixel 9 more expensive as well to restore the gap again.
Thankfully the eu will mandate common sense starting in next year’s devices… So replaceable batteries are back!
Thats not correct. The law only applies from 2027, and there are exceptions for smartphones and tablets.
Basically it doesn’t need to be user replaceable if the battery is rated for at least 83% capacity after 500 charging cycles and at least 80% capacity after 1000 charging cycles.

Doesn’t this affect Signal too? There is a setting under “Privacy -> Advanced” called “Always relay calls”, which routes calls through Signal servers to prevent IP leaks (and can decrease call quality)… This setting is disabled by default
The older Pixels (up to Pixel 5a) only get three years of security updates, and the 4a got released in August of 2020 (the non-a model even earlier), so… yes, its EOL now.
Pixel 6 and 7 series get five years of Security updates, and the upcoming 8 series is rumored to get seven years.
I’ve had a similar issue with a different app before, it was caused by the Play Store (which also lead to automatic updates not working for a while). I fixed it by Force-Stopping the Play Store and relaunching it again.
Disclaimer: I’m using a custom ROM where the Google stuff is sandboxed (GrapheneOS), maybe the bug doesn’t occur on Stock Android.
Austria, mid 20s, yes

Eine Frau hat während einer Fahrt in einem Regionalzug in Baden-Württemberg einen Stromschlag durch eine manipulierte Steckdose erlitten. Bei mehreren Steckdosen des Interregio-Express 19012, der am Freitag von Stuttgart nach Karlsruhe fuhr, seien dünne Metalldrähte aus der Steckdose herausgezogen worden, sagte ein Polizeisprecher.
Die 35-Jährige wollte eine dieser Steckdosen benutzen, erlitt durch den Kontakt mit einem Metallteilchen einen Stromschlag und wurde dabei verletzt. Sie wurde nach der Ankunft in Karlsruhe ins Krankenhaus gebracht. Wer die Steckdosen manipuliert hat, ist unklar. Die Polizei hat Ermittlungen aufgenommen.
Bisher sei das der einzige Vorfall dieser Art gewesen, sagte der Sprecher. Man habe Bahnunternehmen informiert und um Wachsamkeit gebeten. Der betroffene Zug wird von der Go-Ahead Baden-Württemberg GmbH betrieben. Die Polizei rät Reisenden, Steckdosen in Zügen vor der Benutzung zu überprüfen. Falls eine Steckdose verändert aussieht und etwa dünne Drähte herausschauen, soll die Steckdose nicht berührt und das Zugpersonal oder die Bundespolizei informiert werden.
Tatsächlich nicht, etwas nördlich vom Stadtzentrum (siehe Google Maps link in einem anderen Kommentar)
OpenSUSE, mostly because they differ too much from other distros, often even without any (obvious) advantages.
For example a lot of file paths (config files and such) are different, and when being used to other distros (or just following a guide from the internet) it takes longer to find it (I know there is Yast but I’m not a huge fan of that tool either)
Also, Manjaro
There are some browsers with ad-blocking support, e.g. Firefox/Fennec/Mull with the uBlock Origin extension, or Brave Browser.
There used to be third party apps for Twitter, but afaik they don’t work anymore.
DNS blocking only works if the ads are loaded from a seperate subdomain.
Yes, afaik LineageOS shouldn’t be locked, but I was talking about GrapheneOS specifically because @[email protected] was talking about that.
