Well said... Two weeks before the equivalent i posted moments ago.

I'll elaborate for him/her: mesh devices sold by untrusted companies with a profit model will almost surely be collecting your data.

The problem is not "mesh", it is the companies using a new, cool, buzzword to sell their spyware that is the problem.

They are basically enhanced repeaters that don't require a seperate network access point.

If you get a device that is primarily marketed as basic hardware, like the Asus router, you are more likely to avoid the collection. Bonus points if you can flash FOSS software to it, also like Asus, so yiu know it is clean. Regardless, use a VPN for external communications.

My home is small enough that mesh is unnecessary, but I'd buy another Asus device for mesh if it were necessary.

I'm confused. Authy is just a 2FA client. There's half a dozen in fdroid. I use FreeOTC myself. Are graphene users unable to use anything else?

Well, i haven't neen much of a gamer for years (got too adicted to WoW), but just started again this year. I am amazed by Skyrim, and am now modding it up.

I also just got Cyberpunk 2077, and will get into it soon.

It's configured to run at the native resolution of the device, and looks good, but I'm not sure it is really at 4k.

Skyrim performs flawlessly, but Baldur's Gate gets sbout 15 fps at this rez, so I have to lower the graphics setting. I'm nesr endgame, so there is a lot of city animation.

I can't speak on multiplayer experiences, but i have several emulators set up on my OLED deck. GameCube, N64, switch, ps2. They work well, and i have a 3DO pro2 i use while it's docked to my 4k tv, sound through a surround sound bar with woofer - amazing sound. I mostly run skyrim and Balder's Gate 3 at the moment, but i enjoyed BotW and my son likes sonic.

Yep, it's that easy. I have it on my pixel 2xl, degoogled and it's still usable {android 14)

Incidentally, microg is much better now than when he wrote that.

Look for a GSI ROM. They generally work on any device that came out with Android 10 or newer.

In my case, someone did the work of overcoming Knox with their own ROM, etc. Right now my galaxy tab 2019 has LineageOS 20 and a microg setup through magisk. It supplies the spoof fix systemlessly. You might be able to use the same ROM, which is a GSI by Andy Yan.

All I can say is that it is kinda cathartic that someone other than me is experiencing this nightmare.

Also, this pages where it is impossible to select any text at all.

 

Hello. I am having trouble finding a video I own on VHS format. I want to get a digital copy, but it probably does not exist. I think there are rules against asking about particular titles, so I'll just state the topic. It's about skills used by guides for camping in the wilderness between north central US and Canada. Are there any places might have such videos?

I'm using both Liftoff and Jerboa. I can't decide which is better, so I'm interested in others people love.
