Do Win 10 LTSC users still get shoveled this shit? I’m asking for a friend.
Syncthing accomplishes both local and Internet transfers and doesn’t need a third party server (if you’re not doing NAT traversal). I don’t think you can send individual files through it’s interface. But you can share a directory and any files you add (or edit) will sync via P2P to other devices.
Yup. I had to patch 19.09.37 and I’m back to working. Also microG 0.3.1.3.240913.
OK cool. I’ve played around with blocking net permission for other apps on Graphene and confirmed it really kills Internet access. I’ve been on Nova since I started on Android many years ago. Old habits are hard to give up. I’m in the same boat and haven’t found a replacement launcher either.
I’m still running Nova on Graphene. I revoked the network permission. That should mean I’m safe from spying, right?
Win 11 license is tied to your motherboard. Switching anything besides that won’t change anything. Did you do a fresh install without Internet when you swapped your mobo? Besides that: you could go with Win 10 (preferably LTSC). Your only other option is to ditch Win for an OS that verifiably respects your privacy.
Thanks for the advice! I just added 2FA to my phone carrier account.
I can 2nd that SyncThing works well with KeePass. I have it running on Windows, Android, and a few Debian computers (guys, I use Linux) and I’ve never had an issue. I just checked (and apparently I’m a thug), because I’ve been using “No File Versioning” for years. You may want to opt for any of the available options to err on the side of caution. As long as you’re adamant about syncing any changes ASAP (and not modifying the database on 2 different devices simultaneously), you won’t have issues. Even when I have screwed up (by editing the DB on 2 devices), the KeePassDX client on Android has handled it gracefully and allowed me to merge the conflicts. I also always keep regular backups of my database outside of the whole SyncThing monstrosity (just for worst case scenarios). Cheers mate, give a whirl.
Thanks! Will do! I have since bailed from Verizon, so that seems like a long shot.
Gotcha. Thanks for confirming I’m scewed. Its definitely a Verizon-specific Pixel 5 I bought used and I ran for a bit.
Are there any alternative OS options for a Pixel 5 with a locked bootloader? Edit: I think carrier-locked is the more accurate term. The option to unlock the bootloader in developer options is greyed out.
If you think you’re paraphrasing me, that’s incorrect. I love my Pixel 5. Its still very much a capable device and its a shame Google stopped supporting it. The fingerprint reader is more accurate than the one on my Pixel 7 and I prefer the smaller size. Mine unfortunately has a locked bootloader, so upgrading to an actively-updated OS is not an option for mine. The 5 is far from garbage and I’m sad Google abandoned it.
Totally unrelated, but I just want to let you know: the last security update for Pixel 5 was a few months ago. You should stop using that phone as soon as possible.
Easiest would be to install a plugin such as “User-Agent Switcher.” This is the string of text that identifies what browser, version, and platform you’re running to the server you’re accessing.
“Alexa, was there an attempt by Amazon to put Internet connected microphones in everyone’s home?!”
Thanks! I’ll have to check it out. I’ve been waiting for an LTSC version before I tried 11. This might do for now.
