You all are awesome, thank you for your work implementing this!

Just wait until you get to Transunion's site. It is a dumpster fire of consisting of the worst sign up I've ever seen, "Contact our social team" and "If you haven't logged in for awhile create a new account. I could not believe how awful it was. I had to just call and do it over the phone.

It was in response to the Naomi Brockwell post she did on Twitter about businesses using WiFi, Bluetooth and Location Services to track you in public locations. You can Google it directly "NBTV Advice from Defcon" or this link: https://nbtv.substack.com/p/advice-from-defcon-turn-off-bluetooth

I am a Tasker enthusiast and when I can automate something simple on my phone I like to. I set a simple task to turn off WiFi when my home network is not detected so my phone doesn't scan and report my location to businesses. However, this functionality is now nonexistent and the developer has to ask people not to one-star their app because it doesn't work. My phone is my phone and killing my ability to use it as such for whatever security theater Google is playing at is why I root my device. Anyone else still rooting for similar reasons?

While I agree music service has a lot of good things about it, it is not good for the long term. Lesser known artists are not paid that much, it is endless billing for something you'll never own and it will only ever cost you more year over year. I would considering using music streaming for artist discovery and playlist creation rather than a long term plan for music listening. Look into bandcamp and artist pages you love to find where you can buy your favorites of their music because when music streaming becomes unsustainable, and it will, you won't be left with nothing.

I have had two major issues lately that were either limited to me or actual issues that should be addressed:

  1. Gamepass game trailers are not pre-buffering so they are insanely blurry until they load fully. Hard to get someone to think a game looks like fun to play if it looks blurry for the first 10-15 seconds of the game
  2. Gamepass game search closed on me six times mid-typing a game I was looking for. Incredibly frustrating to type in 3 letters and it drop me back to the dashboard

I sincerely hope this is a return to form for Bioware. I will be cautiously optimistic about this game as I miss their storytelling a lot.

I actually came here to echo this exact sentiment. I was on Lastpass until their first breach and then on Bitwarden both cloud and self-hosted until a few months ago when I set up with Proton. I liked Bitwarden so I put off trying ProtonPass. One weekend I set it up and ended up putting my 2FA items in as well. It feels absolutely seamless to use. The email aliasing for websites is so easy for making new website accounts. In my desktop and laptop browser the way it automatically offers to autofill the 2FA is so clean. I can't see myself going back unless Proton gets prohibitively more expensive or the product declines in usability/security. If you are currently using Proton's suite of apps give Protonpass a try. You can easily import from Last pass/Bitwarden and use both to compare side by side.

Looking like this leak might have some merit surrounding the land vehicle teaser shown awhile back by Bethesda. I watched the video and I am actually excited for what I am seeing since I believe this is the first working vehicle like this in a Bethesda game. Also I will be able to get to the planet features/anomalies I need to scan faster.

Archinstall works until it doesn't. Recently I tried Luks and BTRFS more than 6 times leading to a script error each and every time. Could I have done something simpler and archinstall work? Possibly. But it offers those things out of the box and for it to fail each and every time ultimately led me back to the wiki to do it manually.

Sounds like you just need two "Mail Plus" accounts. You get 1 custom domain per account and 10 email addresses per user.

Edit: This appears to no longer exist for me on the August hotfix. Thank you all for your feedback!

On the Android 15 Beta you can get to this page by visiting Settings > System > Device Diagnostics > Component Health > Battery Status

I think my question for you all is anyone's percentage reported as less than 100%? I do have a relatively new phone (Pixel 8 Pro) but after 136 charge cycles I would expect to lose a percentage point or two so I was just seeing if anyone had different stats.

Lawnchair is being updated it is just only being updated on its Github page.

Love this list and I use Pear launcher currently on my Android 15 beta device. It has some quirks but overall I am happy with it over stock. Especially since I can add folders to the bottom bar.
