Good to know. I have a S23 I bought it half a year after launch but never really tried dabbling in buying a 1 year old android flagship due to the 3-4 limited OS upgrades (though that chagned).

Side note how long does your battery tend to last? Do you swap the battery at some point or take measures to limit battery charge (I’m not sure if pixel can do this but on samsung I can limit battery to 80%).

Can skype credit be used in teams?

On an unrelated note do you feel youtube videos feel more corperate/professional nowadays?

Official Nextdns app (DNS over HTTPS)

Curious why do you use the nextdns app over optioin 1? Is it because your phone doesn’t support Android Private DNS or for another reason?

Also how is power consumption?

I never use wifi outside of my home. I have unlimited cellular data, so why would I bother?

Fair. I guess its more helpfull in cases of poor cell reception or traveling (though I guess this is a edge case in its own right).

Silly question how are you using nextdns?

1. Android Private DNS
2. Official Nextdns app (DNS over HTTPS)
3. Via a third party app (ex rethink, etc)

Also how often do you encounter nextdns being blocked on public/coreperate wireless networks?

I do wish there were more services like nebula one yearly fee no baked in ads or ads at all and more creators are willing to join them.

The thing that sucks with youtube premium is you still have creators dumping 1 min long sponsors ruining the experience. Additionally often only way these creators allow you to go add free is via patreon, floatplane, etc which can get quite expensive if you follow 30-50 channels. The only other viable route is sponsorblock which works great but requires modified youtube clients/browser extensions and with youtubes new video adinjection could potentially be broken.

The only part I do wonder with nebula is how well it works for larger creators.

Beeper did mention the DMCA protection on reverse engineering.

That being said regardles if beeper wins or looses. If apple sues and at the same time breaks beeper mini they could run into financial trouble very quickly.

I do wonder how this compares to current payment processors (Visa, Mastercard, Paypal, etc)

I have a fire tv cube just direct launch into apps to avoid this. For example instead of powering on the fire tv with power button I tell Alexa to open the app I need.

Down side is this doesn’t really work with sieloaded apps like smart tube

Only time I every encountered the popup was when I used orion with its built in adblocker. And even then I gat one warning (no metion of 3 strike policy). Only change now is the added a 3 second timer to the dismiss button.

Edit: Ublock origen and firefox as usual no issue

I do use sponsorblock 😅

Only gripe is your stuck to the web version of youtube (especially on ios).

If you want sponsorblock in the native youtube app you have to side load a mod which means either dealing with apple’s 7 day limit refresh or paying for a apple dev acount/ signing service subscription.

Android there is revanced (no sideloading subscriptions needed).

On a final note I am considering trying https://grayjay.app/

It bundles odessy, nebula, youtube and a few other platforms in one app (it also includes sponsorblock and return dislikes for youtube).

I know this isn’t YouTube’s fault but one thing that bugs me about yet premium is when creators dump baked in ads.

As a user you have 3 options:

1. Deal with it and manual skip (in a way this feels like skipping commercials on cable tv Dvr)
2. Get ready to buy a ton of patreon subscriptions (kills the point of getting yt premium).
3. Get a modded client/ use browser extensions and use sponsorblock

Now the one exception to this is nebula where like YouTube you pay an all access fee but no baked in ads (I pay for this currently).

I do wonder if creators had the option to make videos available via YouTube premium only (say early access and no baked in ads). Would more people pay and would creators use this system? (They wouldn’t have to worry about demonetization).

Curious on your thoughts

Recording inperson uni lectures (1hr). I some times use transcript to jump to parts of recording.

Example in google recorder

I just restarted my computer and relized it was a macos bug. Now I have no issues

Few problems:

1. Safteynet (play integrity) and root detection

There are magisk tweaks to help combat this but its a annoying game of cat and mouse. Some apps like chase have particularly annoying root detection to deal with. Also regaring safteynet once google fully enforces hardware attestation passing safteynet with tweaks will be borderline impossible (most tweaks try to spoof older phones that don’t support safteynet hardware attestation).

2. Widevine

Many streaming services (Netflix, Hulu, Disney, etc) will downgrade your video quality to 480p-540p due to L3 from unlocking the bootloader (a step thats usually required before you can root).

3. Physical security (potential risk)

Unlocking the bootloader is the first step to allowing for rooting and custom roms. One pro/con is when you unlock the bootloader you are partially at risk to a evil maid attack (some one with physical acess to your phone can compromise it). While difficult to do automatically (and probably very very rare) some one could hypothetically place a malicious bootloader that could steel data. The risk of this is mostly low but does exist.

I love this program. I do kinda wish shizuku support could be added for auto updates.

Best reason would be if you were a reddit sync user in the past Lemmy sync would feel familiar.

It analogous to Apollo users feeling voyager similar (to an extent).
