- Comment on The Fennec Android browser is currently behind on Firefox security updates, deemed unsafe by F-droid 3 weeks ago:
I used the Mozilla account sync thing that’s built in but it didn’t restore the extensions, bookmarks and passwords seem to have copied over to the DivestOS one though.
- Comment on All Of Apple’s Foldable iPhone Prototypes Have Visible Creases, Which May Explain The Company’s Apprehension Towards A Launch 1 month ago:
User error - you are all looking at it wrong
- Comment on AI bots now beat 100% of those traffic-image CAPTCHAs 1 month ago:
I just close the page usually if I see one of these ones, I don’t have the patience to click all the boxes and then it just sends you a different one.
- Comment on Marques Brownlee says ‘I hear you’ after fans criticize his new wallpaper app 1 month ago:
Wasn’t he also behind the redline icon pack (which I do actually like) but yeah subscription for something you can easily find your own images or even just ask an AI to make.
Subscriptions aren’t something I’ll ever buy into software wise and if they are offering an actual service it better be worth twice the money.
- Comment on Huawei's revamped Android competitor is launching with support for 10,000 apps. 1 month ago:
Never seen a single ad here in the UK and constant 5 bars no other phones came close, that battery also lasted me 2 days and the camera, remote desktop etc were stellar.
Kinda feel Huawei were the ones pushing everything new and Samsung was playing copycat.
Oh yeah Ir blaster, Micro SD and a headphone jack.
- Comment on Huawei's revamped Android competitor is launching with support for 10,000 apps. 1 month ago:
I think the whole Huawei ban thing is going to so badly keep firing. Best phone I’ve ever owned was a Huawei I can really see this taking major market from both Android and Windows given time.
- Comment on Ladies and Gentlemen, the sate of AI. 2 months ago:
If only he tends to give these things to the conmen installing the junk. I’ve tried to stop him wasting his money so many times but it’s futile I’ve tried to use his latest oven he had an amazing one before but when I tried to use the new one following every instruction he said and then manual said the food came out later absolutely fridge cold.
He insists his new cooker is brilliant, what can you do with that response to something that’s obviously broken from new and he should be returning.
- Comment on Ladies and Gentlemen, the sate of AI. 2 months ago:
My dad falls into this category he constantly replaces things with way worse things just because they are new, I can’t get my mind how he can replace really good working stuff with new junk that are not even capable of doing the job .
Wish I was joking but he does this constantly.
- Comment on Freetube is the best way to watch YouTube 2 months ago:
Yeah I’ve removed it already and know all the antics YouTube has been doing as I use Smarttube.on my Firetv.
But yeah not very impressed with Freetube in comparison to even a browser and the more I read about it not being able to view age restricted and other content it’s not for me.
- Comment on Freetube is the best way to watch YouTube 2 months ago:
I tried it there but my browser works better is my first impression, I’m using thorium with Ublock, YouTube enhanced and some other addons.
Did honestly just give this a test but I kept getting videos just freezing up for no reason.
- Comment on Microsoft is bringing annoying Windows 11 Start menu ads to Windows 10 2 months ago:
Queue everyone downgrading to Windows 8 in 3, 2, 1.
- Comment on I'll have a Number 9, a Number 9 large, a Number 6 with extra dip, two Number 45's, one with cheese, and a large soda. 2 months ago:
I see this said a lot I had no issues at all with them I did have trouble with the timing of the car hydraulics in that game though. I think with the pc version the timing was all wrong but yeah I got past the rc bits I think first time.
- Comment on Nothing is requiring employees to be in the office five days a week 2 months ago:
Don’t I have one and it’s the only Android device I’ve owned that crashes and reboots almost daily. I can’t recall any other device ever doing it actually.
This company’s all about the next gimmick and couldn’t care less about actually making decent phones.
- Comment on YouTube is Losing The War Against Adblockers 2 months ago:
Any one else watch the Linux tech tips video (degooglefying) where he tried to claim blocking ads was Piracy.
That pissed me off because blocking ads is honestly just protecting yourself against viruses which appear even on ads on Google etc.
- Comment on Google pulls the plug on uBlock Origin, leaving over 30 million Chrome users susceptible to intrusive ads 3 months ago:
I’ve used Librewolf since the first time Google announced these kinda plans I’m thinking it must be at least 3 years now.
Theres tons of options Librewolf is overkill to be honest Firefox would be fine.
- Comment on Disney argues it was legal to kill a doctor because she had a Disney+ trial once 3 months ago:
Wow. I bet their just trying to drag the case out until the guy can’t afford it. If something like this was successful none of us stand a chance against any company legally anymore.
- Comment on Current best lemmy clients 3 months ago:
Yeah the dev seems to jump straight to any issues even now, seems like a great guy to me he could easily charge for such a polished app and as long as the greed wasn’t mad I’d pay it.
- Comment on Current best lemmy clients 3 months ago:
How has nobody said Connect yet, I tried most of the other clients people mentioned and settled on connect.
This is after using Sync Pro for years on Reddit the pricing there just put me right off to the point I’ll admit I haven’t even tried the lemmy version but then again I’m not interested in anything that puts ads on an addless service and I also will never try it as long as this is the case.
- Comment on Flipboard is going to let you follow fediverse accounts right inside the app 3 months ago:
I’m Suprised flip board still exists to be honest I always found the a Google feed kinda did the same thing better.
- Comment on ATM Software Flaws Left Piles of Cash for Anyone Who Knew to Look 3 months ago:
It describes removing the hard drive in the article and patching it, doesn’t sound like much of a real exploit to me. Yeah you probably shouldn’t be able to patch it but isn’t getting your hands on the physical hard disk much more of a problem.
- Comment on Hey Reddit lurkers! my ad-free, open source Reddit viewer RDX is on Android now 3 months ago:
Yep I have Infinity compiled with my own api key and while I don’t use it a lot it’s certainly a lot better than trying visit reddit through their website/app.
I guess this is just solving the same issue really without having to jump through hoops.
Also using connect for lemmy.
- Comment on Google kills Chromecast, replaces it with Apple TV and Roku Ultra competitor 3 months ago:
Seems like most of the streaming hardware companies (amazon/roku/Google) are going out of their way to make products worse. Someone’s probably going to take their lunch and they’ll all act shocked about it.
Seems a dangerous game to play with so many Asian alternatives and sbc computers getting to the point they could do that job.
Don’t get me wrong this box isn’t horrible just really overpriced for the old specs.
- Comment on Wearables linked to ‘pathologic’ heart disease symptom monitoring 3 months ago:
I disabled those warnings on my smartwatch because they made me worry and it worked like a vicious circle. The more they say high heart rate or something the more I was unable to calm myself down.
Can see them being useful but yeah not for me.
- Comment on Elon Musk claims he is training “the world’s most powerful AI by every metric” 3 months ago:
This time next year he’s going to unveil a newly skinned Eliza.
- Comment on UK parents should check under-18s’ phones for nude photos, says police chief 3 months ago:
Isn’t the age of consent 16 I know for a fact it was when I was a teenager, seems stupid to be able to go out and do basically anything but if you have a nude photo of yourself this guy wants you arrested.
