Tldr: google is now adding tracking via a URL shortener to every link shared via the share menu in chrome.

If you’re in the US and on a carrier that supports stir/shaken and voLTE, Carrion can block (or silence) calls that fail verification. It can also block calls from a block list.

My mom got one but she upgraded from a 3 so it’s a big improvement. I got an 8 a couple month ago and see no reason to upgrade. Most of the changes seem to be AI related with very minor hardware improvements.

Book ads are at least usually at the end of the book and for other books you might want to read. And they’re static. If internet ads were like book ads I wouldn’t have to block them.

I wish more creators were on nebula. I would like to support them on patron but $5+ a month per channel adds up really quickly.

My library estimates I’ll be able to read it in 7 weeks, so thanks for the future surprise I’ll forget about until then.

When I dropped my pixel 5a the screen looked like a TV in a horror film. Were they lying for warranty purposes? Otherwise I can’t see a reason not to tell a repair shop what actually happened.

Someone needs to convince US Banks of this

Drysuit. Wetsuits keep you warm, not dry.

There’s a FOSS app for anyone who wants this functionality without Google

I basically need to stick this xkcd chart next to my computer or I’ll spend days creating something that saves me minutes per years.

Although sometimes it’s fun to automate things just for the hell of it.

My first smartphone was the Motorola Droid 2 and it could easily be over clocked from 600 MHz to 1200 MHz. The dynamic overclocking even helped the battery life. I miss the keyboard, it was great for playing old video games on emulators.

Maybe coffee is very expensive where OP lives

The last Pixel to have a headphone jack was the 5A released in 2021. The 6, 6A, 7, 7A, and 8 do not have headphone jacks.

Libretube works sometimes, but I often have to press load several times.

The Motorola Droid 2 was my first smartphone and I sorely miss that slide out keyboard with dpad.

I sadly became one of those people last year. I had every intention of keeping my Pixel 5A for a long time but when faced with a $250 repair bill I bought a used pixel 6 for $240 instead of fixing it. I do regret it because the battery life and antenna on the 6 is awful compared to the 5a.

Which pixel is getting you that battery life? My 6 has been struggling to make it through a day on GrapheneOS recently.

If only google would stop blocking display out on pixels.
