make sure you’re trying to go to the http. actually put the http:// at the front before the domain name in the address bar.

if you’re not given an option to ‘continue’ (to unsecure http site) when you try browsing to it, look for a setting in brave (or perhaps an addon) that is forcing secure or https only. alternatively, use a different browser. firefox worked fine here on an old android, v9 or 10, i think–just a warn about no ssl available and option to continue anyway.

as i am understanding, you cannot browse to the site yourself but you can see it listed with a screenshot on the search engine?

it might be due to the domain hosting the web site pictured not supporting encrypted (https) connections. you have to allow unencrypted (http) in your browser.

from what i know about ‘gname’ is that they’re popular with scammers and other bad actors. i would steer clear of them, even if they are ‘free’.

google did play this long game pretty well… get mozilla on-board with webextensions format. get microsoft to adopt chromium for its own brower. use every trick in the book, legal or not, to gain marketshare. then start the rug pull. first: neuter the adblockers (we are here), next (and there will be a ’next’) will be killing ad or content blockers and manipulators completely.

i run several mass-market consumer model laptops with the lid closed. as long as the vents aren’t obstructed, not a problem here. mine are all lower-wattage soc with integrated gpu, though; the most demanding one that’s on 24/7 is still only ~ 15w cpu at 100% load, and it never runs at that; it rarely even throttles up from the 800mhz it idles at. i stand them on end so the vents are clear, and use some lego to enforce spacing between ‘em.

i have a neighbor that keeps her old answering machine because her late-husband’s voice is on it. she has no home videos or anything else.. just a few snapshots and that answering machine.

my boss just emails stuff to herself.. or just lets it sit in drafts (imap) with the attachment.

i use localsend, wormhole, or similar usually, especially if one or both the devices aren’t “mine”.. and if it’s stuff i’m ‘sending’ to a handheld from a pc, i might instead drop them somewhere on one of our dietpi boxes and just use http
