Looked it up, and you're right. That's hilariously stupid, but great to know! Thanks :)

Good to know! Thanks

i bought some in bulk on sale, should last me a lifetime. Still overpriced tho..

This is the IO2. The replacement heads are pretty expensive for the IO series, afaik. Usually can find them in bulk on sale tho.

Probably thanks to my kitchen counter. I has a little bit of an oldschool vibe to it.

Thanks for tip :) I've had the same model before, but it didn't last long because.. well, i lost it. Was pretty satisfied with it tho.

I noticed that too. Already doing that, but thanks for pointing that out!
Wonder why they put those holes in the replaceable head...

TL;DR

• Developers of open-source Android apps, including NewPipe, have begun warning users about Google’s upcoming sideloading restrictions.
• NewPipe’s developers refuse to comply with Google’s proposed verification rules.
• The app has started to inform users of ways to bypass hurdles, including the proposed 24-hour lockout period before installing “unverified” apps.

Also; fuck Google.

Hello, i downvoted this because i strongly disagree, but that doesn't mean i'm not open to discuss this (are discussions not why platforms like this exist in the first place?). A downvote doesn't mean i don't care, like you suggest.
People should be allowed to agree AND disagree, and still be allowed to explain why they downvote.

Agreed, hate this so much! I used this ADB command:

adb shell settings put secure show_rotation_suggestions 0

Make sure to toggle ' Disable permission monitoring' if your device has such a feature (also located in Developers Settings). If that's not there, the ADB command should be sufficient.

Let me know if it worked for you :)

I think Sony allows the bootloader to be unlocked, so i would go for the new Xperia 10 vii and just put a beefy case on it to be honest. Not only does it have the 3,5mm jack, but also SD card slot, no stupid punchhole/camera cutout, has a good battery, is a 'normal' size (6.1"). If i didn't went with the Fairphone 6, i'd go for that one.

Those rugged phones are falling short in many ways, and most of them are pricey too. And Motorola isn't what they used to be, sadly.

"Parts of the phone reached a scorching 130° Fahrenheit, which is hot enough to burn your skin after about 30 seconds. During a few stress tests, the phone completely closed all apps and disabled functions like the LED flash to manage heat".

I know this is during benchmarks and the average consumer would not get anywhere near this, but still... 130°F (54,44°C)?!? I think 113°F (45°C) is already a little too warm to be comfortable...

Well, if i can download a F-droid app via Playstore... then i'm basically not "sideloading" anything. This could be interesting!

But the whole (paid) 'verification' thing still is troubling tho. And we know Google; they are good at breaking things one way or another.

That must be Xiaomi's fault... Android does not do such thing. Check the running processes in Developer Settings to see what's running that could cause this. After located, disable/uninstall them, with ADB if needed.

Live wallpapers are often a form of ads. Like Motorola have Live Lockscreen, made and owned by Taboola... This is why you should skip bloated Android devices, unless you use a custom rom or don't mind the extreme debloating.

I think i would prefer a wider aperture here, creating some blur in the crowd.
Otherwise, i like this image the way it is! Nicely done.

For now... Google is developing AOSP more and more behind closed doors, which is more troubling for other Android based OS's. So even if e/OS is not (much) effected by this 'sideloading' thing, other choices Google makes will destroy something at some point.

If Google is going to build this "sideload protection" in the core of Android, this is going to be very bad, even for e/OS.

Fuck Google.

I just got both Fairphone's privacy screenprotector and case. Mostly because pretty much nothing else is available yet. So far, so good. The privacy screenprotector actually works pretty good, the case feels a bit strange tho. Probably because i don't have one of their back customization options.

Maybe i did not read everything well enough, but did GrapheneOS provide anything other than just 'they do this' and 'they are not secure'? Are there more sources to prove GrapheneOS is not talking nonsense? Not that i'm defending e/os or anything, i'm just really curious to read some proper examples of their (for what i'm now calling) claims.

I've read only but good things about e/os... until this. Saying this while my Fairphone 6 with Murena will be delivered in about 12 hours...

It really is! This is Texel, one of the little islands located north of the Netherlands. With so much fog pretty much all the time i was there, this was truly a dreamy place.

Maybe so, and maybe i even partly agree. Changing this to: 'As Fair As Possible' would be more in its place.

For a good read, a link above about Fairphone's report of their way of doing things.

Fairytale or not, I'm just happy that there are companies that not only want to make a profit, but also try to do that as fair as possible. For me, that's worth mentioning.
