Because you need to transfer that heat somewhere.

150 degrees F is a normal temp for a CPU, but your computer isn’t gonna run well in a 150 degree room.

This isn’t just full magazines…

There is. It’s called Apple News+

lmao please

In the grand scheme of the media industry, they are. Moreover, Floatplane is a separate entity with < 50k users.

I don’t use Spotify, but yes, I pay for YouTube premium (which comes with YouTube Music, which I use instead of Spotify). I use YouTube a lot. $13.99 is not that much money for so much video and music content.

And I’m not saying don’t pirate anything ever. But come on, when people build a platform to try and do things right, to ethically support their creators, we ought to support those platforms.

Yep!

It does when they can’t keep running the service anymore because your broke asses won’t support it.

It’s a small platform that costs a lot to run. Attempting to provide a fair and ethical alternative to YouTube.

Don’t use the service unless you’re going to support it.

Yeah, since May 2018

I’m not a fan of backup cams. But judging by how many people are, they should absolutely be included in every vehicle.

Look, I’m not the target market for this anyway, and I know that. But I won’t ever buy another car that doesn’t have both Android Auto and Apple CarPlay. Especially now that head units aren’t so simple to replace.

Like, no matter how good your software is when you release it, you’re not going to have the same level of support, frequency of updates, timelines of new feature releases, and actual hardware upgrades (via my phone) I’d get from you having AA or CarPlay.

Both AA and CarPlay have gotten pretty damn good in the last few years too.

I drive a 2008 Mustang and I finally replaced my head unit a couple years ago with the Sony XAV-AX5000 and it was the best upgrade I could’ve possibly made to my car. I was really feeling like getting something new because I wanted modern convenience and this $350 upgrade gave me the luxury of perpetually being up to date. The only downside is that it doesn’t have wireless AA, but hardly anything does.

And no, I’m not good with having just one. My last several phones have been Pixels, but my GF and my Best Friend have iPhones. I need to be able to do both seamlessly. Plus, I don’t want my car locking me in to a phone OS. If apple releases an iPhone with USB-C, AoD, side loading (all of which should be in the next phone), add better UI scaling options, and they fix the back gesture, I’ll want to switch and I don’t want my car to keep me from doing that.

Here’s a good guide, t’s old, but nothing should be too different.

Use radar instead of Couch Potato.

You can find up to date guides for any of the individual products.

I recommend NZBgeek’s lifetime subscription.

Then, set torrents as your news group’s backup and you should be good to go.

Spend an evening setting this up and you’ll be golden. Just subscribe to any shows or movies you want and it will automatically download them when they are available.

You can set preferences around quality, file size, language, format, etc

It’s safer, faster, more reliable, and much easier to automate.

I only paid $20 for a lifetime subscription.

Stop using torrents and start using newsgroups.

Well said. Funny though, I almost didn’t download the game because it had SO many issues in Early Access and I didn’t get a chance to enjoy it. Glad I listened to everyone else’s praise this last week.

Of all the people to pirate from, Floatplane shouldn’t be one of them…

Pay for it.

When developers actually put this much work into making an incredible experience, it should be rewarded. Otherwise, more andore developers will trend toward F2P, P2W, GAAS crap.

No. Sandboxed apps only prevent some fingerprinting, but notably provides a ‘reasonable budget’ for data that can be gathered.

Sandboxes absolutely prevent all cross-app tracking. The app doesn’t have access to anything outside the sandbox.

What you said about the advertising ID is true and is basically what I said, but disabling the advertising ID does not stop profiling or fingerprinting, just limits the most obvious applications of it.

What useful tracking do you think is still happening when you take these precautions?

Using a VPN is a start, but we’re comparing the privacy of Android and iOS. You can use a VPN on both. iOS includes an opt-in pseudo-vpn baked into the OS with private relay, for $0.99 per month. And besides, using a VPN does nothing to block the the fingerprinting done by native apps.

So then what difference does it make? You can use whatever VPN you want.

Are you sure you work in security? Like, mall security?

Yes. Stick to the topic. The ad-hominem is just childish.

No. What they’ve done is made a local Ad ID that can be used locally on your device without interacting with another app. But you can disable it.

Plus, on Android you can literally completely sandbox apps: https://www.gtricks.com/android/how-to-sandbox-android-apps-for-privacy/

Or use a VPN if you’re worried about IP/Device tracking.

Google restricts Cross app tracking and you can entirely disable the ad profile.

They will continue to make money off of the users who don’t care, while capturing more market from those who do.
