I fear not even adb is enough. It used to expose backup/restore functionality which allowed for some neat tricks like transferring/modifying shared preferences. So of course now that’s gone. Seems like it’s only a matter of time before adb requires a host certificate issued by Google
I think “Homeland” had a plotline with online misinformation farms at some point. That’s all I can think of
For anyone curious, the preview image contains this link
The trace seems to be part of the request. It’s only using digits to encode; I wonder why not at least base64
I like to do a little karate chop
These look a lot like iOS status icons, but I’m not familiar enough to say for sure
I do lots of squats so that my butt looks nice
I miss the old split screen feature. It was far more useful compared to the new “app pairs” thing. Mostly happy (edit: that nothing has changed) otherwise
For real I was going to say this reads like a Google marketing AstroTurf. Just watched the linked MKBHD video and it’s not unfair; definitely not “weird”
I saw this coming when GPM shutdown and podcasts migrated to Google Podcasts. The GPM podcasts were already bugged before that due to lack of attention. Very happy I bailed out for AntennaPod way back then!
I asked for extensions but it’s pretty annoying to have to dust off my older published apps (which work just fine) and port to API 34. One down, three to go
I made a lot of notes to myself while playing Majora’s Mask! I’m going out of order but I expect more of the same when I get around to OoT
I saw some ideas recently in a similar post: could try improving your skin care routine, wearing sunscreen, putting on body lotion after shower, paint nails, get ears pierced, etc. I’ll try to find this other post I’m thinking of
Fwiw the captcha support in lemmy is probably going away soon. It needs to be reimplemented into another database table (or something like that) anyway. Given that it is too hard for many humans, too easy for many bots, and devs are slammed with work, makes more sense to delete as a first step
It took a lot of work to get PC parts to become interoperable. There’s all kinds of special negotiations that happen at boot to discover the state of hardware. There are standard drivers for most peripherals
Mobile devices aren’t expected to change hardware so everything is hard-coded into the ROM. No discovery protocols are supported. Standardized drivers make it hard to ship new features or squeeze every last bit of performance so no effort goes into making them
I only host one service for myself: Navidrome on a raspberry pi zero. Lets me stream my full music library from anywhere. Been using it ever since GPM shut down
This is referencing Google Play Music from back before it was shutdown in favor of YouTube Music. In that case, this is from around 10 years ago give or take
