You can prevent this. Click remind later then go to your notifications in the settings app. Uncheck "Suggest ways I can finish setting up" and anything else you don't want to see.

Amazon ‘bricked’ older Fire TV Sticks to push users to buy new models: lawsuit
They are claiming lack of updates and support caused performance issues? Isn't it usually updates to older devices that we attribute to that? Many people avoid updates for this very reason.

[General question to the Android community] Have you given up on the audio jack, or do you still only buy devices that have it?
I seek out phones with audio jacks. My current Moto G Power 2020 has one and I use it all the time. No dongles or adapters in the car or on various headphones. Plus I actually use the FM Radio built into the phone and that uses the wire for the headphones as an antenna. I just cut off some old earbuds and plug that in, then direct the audio to either the phone speaker itself or BT.

ICQ - From my collection of 90s interfaces..
ICQ: 13559805, still etched in memory for some reason. That's a lot of buttons and menu options.

Free open-source app to see what apps actually connect to
I used Rethink DNS for this a while ago to track apps and where they were talking to. In my experience, socials and browsers were the worst offenders. Browsers just being open, connect to all kinds of domains.

I think Moto's are a pretty good budget friendly phone. Sure their update policy is lacking, but the Moto G Power or Moto G Stylus phones come decently equipped. Plus you can still get expandable storage and headphone jacks.

BlackBerry's iconic keyboard patent has expired
I was pretty good with T9 back in the day, then the keyboard on the BB Pearl changed everything. I loved the keyboard on the BB Curve the best, banged out tons of messages with friends with BB messenger.

[Guide] Uptime monitoring in Windows
Quite a lot of work went into your program, I bet you learned some good code while writing it. I've used a simple Windows program called Easy Net Monitor. You can specify IP address or hostname connectivity tracking with email alerts.

If you want to get into handheld gaming, but don't want to spend a lot, buy one of these.

I have one as well. I like that it has all the inserts for different phone sizes, and it has a headphone jack. I think I should have bought 2.

What are peoples thoughts on games requiring always online? How does it affect your enjoyment of those games?
I don't like it and try not to play games where it's a requirement. Especially in single player games.

Can a Five Year Old Phone Compete Today? How Far has Android Come Since the LG V50?
This is making me want to replace the battery and return to my Galaxy S6. My Note8 and S9 have more than enough processing power and I think most phones have had more than enough for a while. That's why I believe the manufacturers always have to try and sell the next gimmick. Outside of gaming I don't think we're waiting on the processor, but more waiting on storage. That's why adding SSDs to older PCs woke them up so much.

I finally understand Cloudflare Zero Trust tunnels
Reply in thread
I run audio and video through tunnels just fine. Last I checked they dropped the requirements for HTML only content and as long as you don't abuse the service and cache too much data you're OK with video and audio content.
