  • Without water, just the syrup.

  • wtf

    Jump
  • Got it.

    I am prey.

  • Then it would be US only. But it works for example with Switzerland (non-EU).

  • By the way, Markdown also takes escape \, which is why sometimes the shrugging emoticon is missing left arm.

    So this
    also works with space

    So you don't even necessarily have to leave out the space.

  • Why the hell does the link just redirect me to their YouTube channel?

    Edit: Seems to do that only with EU countries, other countries' IPs work. Probably don't want to deal with privacy protection.

  • But underneath it's just unicast to your phone, no?

    But anyway, beamed directly it may be, it's called beamforming.

    In the world of 5G, this is the act of focusing a wireless signal in a specific direction. Compared to simply sending a signal across a wide area, beamforming requires more sophisticated antenna technology.
    [...] Beamforming technology, on the other hand, sends a precise and concentrated signal right to your smartphone. It is more deliberate and intentional with its delivery method.

  • Sometimes the headphones are just a public statement of "Don't talk to me please.", and the music is just secondary. In that case, the looks may win.

  • Perhaps they do, just don't have enough energy to care about it in private life anymore and just go for convenience like the majority.

  • I honestly just fear updates at this point. They always seem to break more stuff than fix, the only exception to that for me has been PixelExperience custom ROM (discontinued).

    Edit: Android is simply missing proper backups. Bad update on my laptop? Timeshift. Bad update on stock Android? It is what it is.

    First Moto G5s Plus which got high battery drain, sluggishness and crashes after Android 8.1 update. This was bad enough I had to fix it with custom ROM. Then Poco X3 Pro which reportedly had issues with performance after MIUI 13 update, so I stayed on older software. Now my Ulefone Armor 24, which only has one update primarily to fix Google pay, but also brings a newer security patch, reportedly causing many crashes that make the phone unreliable and a bad experience.
    Also many Samsung phones had an update that removed access to manual band mode selection, and if I recall correctly, that update didn't even revert them to default.

    It's not the best for security, but I basically now just fear any updates. If everything works, then it can only be broken.

    Maybe I should at least somehow start checking known vulnerabilities. As of recently, I should probably stop using applock on my outdated Ulefone

    Exposed ”com.pri.applock.LockUI“ activity allows any other malicious application, with no granted Android system permissions, to inject an arbitrary intent with system-level privileges to a protected application. One must know the protecting PIN number (it might be revealed by exploiting CVE-2024-13916)

    https://cert.pl/en/posts/2025/05/CVE-2024-13915/

    Though my device has AppLock v14, so I am not sure.

  • This makes me worried about the ultra cheap Chinese manufacturers. I mean the likes of Unihertz, Umidigi, Ulefone, Doogee, Oukitel, etc

    Usually these don't get updates at all.
    Even weirder, for example I have Ulefone Armor 24. They used to ship with Android 13. They still advertised it with Android 13 when I bought it. Mine like a few others have said arrived with Android 14, but the earlier ones aren't offered A14 update.
    Someone on Reddit contacted support about this and they replied that they don't provide cross-level upgrades because Google doesn't allow them to release those to end users.

    Anyway, point is, they save on everything possible, starting with software updates. And I have doubts about them changing this, unless EU is a large market for them.

  • YouTube is getting a new tool that generates Shorts

    All I needed to know. I hoped for a button to report AI slop.

    Free ProtonVPN now doesn't allow selection of specific servers and split-tunneling in its client (+ workaround for Android)

    Is there a way to connect DD-WRT router over HTTP proxy so that it routes all traffic over it (using HTTP CONNECT method)?
