not called Brad but rather a lad, from Bradford in the UK.
Enjoys breaking apps, escooters, spam rings and sometimes bones, but not my own. That sucks.
Would you have any recommendations on hardware?
Yup!
No matter what external storage you buy be it an external drive / NAS / SAN / whatever, make sure you buy a UPS firstly. I dunno about where you live, but here the amount of “brownouts” through the night damages electronic gear irrevocably and I learnt my lesson.
Best investment(s) ever.
Ministers are also looking at tiering the licence fee so that lower-income households don’t pay the same rate as more affluent users.
Another option was to leave the licence fee largely as it is, with a few tweaks, but with better enforcement, a person familiar with the internal deliberations said.
These greedy people, honest to god.
How about a tweak of letting home owners re-transmitting the DVB signal locally since they have such a good home internet connections these days, saving on the required transmitting POWAR of the BBC funded ones such as Emley Moor etc? I’d love to see the power usage of that thing.
Too radical, oh well…
Nope, like I said some in general just dump their questions and leave hence there been a separate place for support questions.
I don’t use any, so I’m curious what the community thinks
yeah I suppose that’s the crux of the issue. Some want “more numbers” to view their post whilst not really engaging the !askandroid (or !android) community otherwise :/
edit: clarity
Well yeah, but like I also said over on Matrix this post of yours should really include the prior ROM’s you’ve used/problems you encountered to spark more discussion?
It’s a bit of a cul-de-sac of a post to be honest.
I don’t think much has even been removed here but there is also something else that occurred to me.
Direct image links. Users just dumping a screenshot of their “problem” and then just scooting off with not much context and why we asked them over on r/Android for them to at least contain that image in a .self post, and then describe what they’ve already done to try and resolve their issue etc.
Like I said over on Matrix, this is the bit that would bother me
I think the one thing to take into account is if !android did grow to silly levels (I joined r/Android when it was at ~1000 users) when you have 2 million users you do need a degree of a separation
Help vampires while I like to try and help, there’s too many of you 🙈
Similar to this bollocks we have in the UK, stopping Internet users accessing content leads to one or two things.
Geo proxies to bypass it, or some poor soul downloading malware hosted to fill that gap. Stupid stupid stupid.
Rumours are a fundamental part of the news cycle, whether it be Android or whatever, because a fair amount of the time they turn out to be facts?
with minimal admin required (which is my main issue, i don’t really wanna admin stuff in my free time)
that’s actually one of my fave recent things they give up with their security reports and points out I installed Entware (aka Optware for alt devices) even thou it’s not been used. They’re nifty things
I usually limit it to 80% during the summer, but because I work outside and through the night too my battery can reach very low temperature levels which absolutely hammers my battery life so I let it charge to 100% / or just to warm it up via a small powerbank on my FLT sometimes during the winter months.
As for longevity? I usually go through a phone every year or two so I don’t see the wear of of what others are saying in here using their phone for over two years (that’s my max), but I feel the 20/80% guideline is a fair one to go by since the reported 100% isn’t fully accurate anyway.
it’s written in plain language
Could you cite the parts which are irking you specifically please?
Taking someone’s word for it isn’t really kosher in terms of privacy for some people, but I do reckon they’d like to hear your thoughts.
I’ve also been using Linux for a similar amount of time, and it’s only at work now I have to use Windows.
And as for home users using Linux? I have a few family members quite happy with Ubuntu / Firefox since all they need is a browser and VLC for their “PC”, so I don’t know where you got that “it’ll never get there” metric from.
Alright they don’t have a clue how Jellyfin works on that box, but they sure do appreciate and use it a lot these days now they’ve got used to it / dumping Netflix.
Why would they do that?
Easy.
Back scratching and you’ve got to remember these community’s / sport / events have global bodies such as UEFA wanting their ching ching.
Them getting off their cushion of sponsors sending them money for the infra, and then doing fuck all other than regulating how the monies comes in is fairly telling how it’s going to affect them both downstream and, upstream :/
For anyone else interested in Line of Duty…
Depends on how you currently download your bounty, and if it’s currently via torrents / public trackers like I do and you don’t get angry nastygrams from your ISP (Britbong here), you’re good to go?
If not however use of a VPN is recommended and you could go one further actually and buy yourself Usenet access, which means you don’t need no VPN and you’re rock and roll.
From what I recall thou you Aussies have lots of anti-pirate groups being knobheads so probably wise to hide your traffic? arrr
Strange, I’m getting pages and pages of links about third party clients barfing

Maybe it’s that “cleaner Google” url hack (udm=14) that’s reallllly cleaning it up for ye?
Plenty of others can confirm

It’s been going on for months, especially VPN users.
You’ll never need to log into Youtube again
Well, I’ve used Newpipe for the longest time but depending on your internet connection / CGNAT’ed or, even using a VPN means it won’t work unless you do sign in :/
I started with a small APC UPS which most protect drives/devices from anything from a brownout to full power cut for you to power down those devices.
I protect my NAS / router / modem which the former has a USB port that can connect to the UPS via a data port and allows it to monitor the battery level and, if it sees it getting to a
Xlow power level emails me and then shuts it down gracefully. Awesome thingys and there’s other ways of monitoring themhttps://pimylifeup.com/raspberry-pi-nut-server/
Have fun emptying your wallet ;)
