I almost just want a cheap piece of crap dumb phone

Looked into a KaiOS device? Not entirely dumb, GMaps is only the web version so no voice navigation etc.

But might be something of interest to ya?

I keep pondering why Android has blobs for CIFS/SMB but not NFS, too.

Still haven't found a legit reason why.

Because generally the TSA in Yankland are overly aggressive, but to be fair it can happen anywhere and here in the UK if they snag you into the backroom and want to search your phone you're screwed either way since they, can.

Main thing is Capt, you're here to tell us your best stories.

Tell us your most favourite food please, and how you came across it? Mine's carbonara and an Italian girlfriend who loved that shit.

To be honest Telegram doesn't ban private groups "for piracy" and only takes out public groups that receive a DMCA.

I think the above user is pointing out a rather fun fact - if you're in some of the many private groups where shit is shared freely.....those wanting to ban it don't like the fact that they can't see in those private groups.

Like, is there any evidence of private groups being monitored by media corps or their lackeys in gov?

We've had a no piracy rule over in the Android subs/communities for years and the funny thing is, by time we ever got to someone trying to post a pirated APK the community themselves tore them a new arsehole.

Easiest rule to enforce when the community will absolutely hiss at you. Love em.

edit: a fun talking point I suppose is YouTube, and its app. We got a lot of people arguing that Newpipe 'was piracy' and I even had many debates with other members/mods about is it, or isn't it piracy?

My view it's a website that you can parse even with other tools like yt-dl, and if Youtube.com wanted to stop use of Newpipe / Revanced whatever they could in the blink of an eye.

Is curious.

I share one of my TVHeadend servers with someone in India so they can watch BBC and other DVB/FTA content without having to jump through hoops/VPN's for the many streaming apps that are restricted to UK only IP's.

Come at me, Channel4?

I've never used an eSIM but have used and liked having dual physical SIM's.

But I've also lost a phone now (first time for everything 😡) and can kinda see the bonus of eSIM's in that regard instead of having to wait a couple of days for a replacement.

Hazard a guess, those users are on Android 7 or less and as per the description of the Play Store listing

If your device is running Android 7 or an earlier version, it will not receive an update for this app. This app may indicate that it is not compatible with your device, but this does not mean that the app is malfunctioning or causing your device to malfunction.

This is making them take to the Play Store perhaps? Thing is, the app is showing last updated in Feb 2023 for me so, I dunno.

Should be noted it's fairly simple to do this on any Android phone with Tasker.
