To anyone with a TV running Android I recommend SmartTubeNext: https://github.com/yuliskov/smarttube
I am not aware of any.
Well the messages app that comes with samsung does support Google’s RCS as far as I know.
Google implementation of RCS (Jibe I think it’s called) is proprietary. A third party client has to be explicitly allowed and supported by Google.
It is not only ironic but pathetic. They promote it as the new open standard and people who just don’t look further into the details believe it.
I agree. Most custom ROMs already have such option.
KOReader. The app is multiplatform (also for some e-readers and Linux) so the UI is not among the most beautiful (but I actually prefer it over Librera), but it’s feature packed, and does really well what it’s made for.
I am sorry. I went to a little rant, but I meant it rather funny even though I realize it feels aggressive 🤣. I am just enthusiastic about this topic even though I don’t know that much.
Isn’t this a problem with every package/library system? Is there really a solution to this that doesn’t limit packages on their dependencies?
This may also be about trust. npm probably could limit a number of dependencies that a single package can have with an arbitrary limit, but they don’t do that, because they trust the developers they won’t misuse their options. Well…
Node packaging is fucked. Node packaging remains fucked.
I am sorry, but as a noobie user of npm I don’t understand. It works pretty well for me if you use it normally for what it is supposed for.
There are new solutions constantly developed such as PlayIntegrityNEXT. With some effort you can get rooted Android 14 device with custom ROM pass Play Integrity attestation.
You can with some tinkering. You can uninstall the default launcher with ADB shell and some Android TV show select launcher options when more than 1 is installed.
It’s very fine unless you decide you just must and have to convert that audio to MP3 (the audio loses quality with every lossy compression), because you are an old boomer and other formats scare you even though almost all modern device can play OPUS or at least M4A or you are one of those people who call themselves “Audiophiles” to feel more special, but wouldn’t recognize a shit if I played OPUS 192kbps on their 2000$ home audio setup instead of the 24 bit uncompressed FLAC that has over 30MB in size each. I have most of my library from YT Music which is ~128kbps OPUS and it has been transparent on all audio devices I have played it till now.
AFAIK Opera has some kind of patent for this, so other browsers cannit implement it so easily.
I am not sure if it’s only me, but I have noticed much faster Wi-Fi connecting after enabling Wi-Fi on Android 14, so that’s one thing. But it may be also caused by kernel update and has nothing to do with Android 14.
because they are the only devices on the market that allow locking the bootloader after installation
AFAIK on Xiaomi Mi A2 lite if I flash back the stock fastboot ROM (I had it do it once because I crippled the partition images (this phone is A/B partition device)) it locks your bootloader and you have to unlock it again. I don’t know if this applyes to MIUI/Hyper OS phones too, because Mi A2 Lite uses near to stock Android.
I don’t understand. So if I only lock my phone (turn the screen off) without rebooting it, it is not fully encrypted (considering that the device storage encryption is enabled)?
I use Google Lens and I also have to keep Google app installed. I agree it’s annoying that they just can’t make the apps work standalone. There already is a package that nearly all Google apps dependend on. The package is Google Play Services. Why can’t they implement this into Google Play Services as they do with all the other stuff (quick share, find my phone, location services etc…)?
