…and the added abstraction of being in my ass.

No unless you wanna no longer be on the internet on the fediverse publically.

I didn’t even know this happened. Mainly because the moment Google blocked rooted and custom ROMs for Google Messages. I just stopped using the app outright.

It also depends on whether it’s exynos or not. Qualcomm has been strong-arming Samsung into kindly locking their bootloaders.

I recognize that parking lot and Marc’s. It’s in upper Ohio somewhere where I live.

It makes a really really good android tablet in my experience and breaks in half every other android tablet I have used as of recently and I can’t get rid of it.

Like sure battery life isn’t the best. But the amount of things that you can do with a generic android device is astounding and is well worth the investment and it has more ram than any other tablet in its price category when bought used on eBay. Such that it actually functions really well compared to the shittastic tablets you’d be buying for its price point.

That and you can just run Linux on the Nintendo Switch anyway and have a fully functional computer that mogs any single board computer out there including the raspberry pi. Like having better hardware decoding and actual vulkan and opengl support that isn’t gimped due to laziness surrounding drivers that surrounds these computers.

I’ve actually been in the pyramid itself. It’s actually quite small inside compared to what you’d expect and is literally just a bass pro shop with a fish tank and a bar area with a bunch of tvs and nothing else. They do have comfortable seating though!

Guess I’ll just be blocking YouTube.com on my DNS server and all subsequent Google URLs. I am fed up with their nonsense anyway.

Oh finally I can pull it out of my closet and actually use it again! Oh wait… It requires you have not updated the device.

I guess I’ll just hit it with a sledgehammer then and continue to use my computer that doesn’t force ads on me by default because I run Linux and also use my Windows 11 computer with updates disabled on it that will probably be switched over to Linux when 24H2 comes out or when 23H2 no longer receives security updates.

P.S. You can’t change the default launcher anymore and scoped filesystems basically broke all functionality on the thing that I was using it for. I also don’t know the domains for Google’s ads that they show on the device and I don’t care anymore.

Been rocking Tello for 25 dollars a month for 35 gigabytes of data.

Man it’s a shame that Google RCS doesn’t run on android phones by default if you have a custom rom or rooted your device or have an unlocked bootloader. Guess this won’t really affect me then and it doesn’t really matter.

My motherboard legit does this. Though it’s probably more so it’s an industrial one with like 8 SATA ports than anything else.

Oh hey it’s where I live!

Also an IR blaster as someone who also has an LG V20. It’s a shame that these phones can’t rock custom roms beyond android 8 or 9 (only if you live in Korea) due to Qualcomm refusing to give the community volte drivers and technically these phones never having an official way to unlock the bootloader. But using android 8.0 in 2024 isn’t that bad yet and I can totally justify still using a 2016 smartphone in 2024 especially when it benchmarks the same as low end smartphones today plus it has a removable battery.

Man it’s a shame I switched back to SMS because Google Proprietary RCS now runs only on non rooted android phones gosh forbid.

Yeah I already know about this. Also as a long time prime subscriber we have had ads longer than you’d expect. It first started as ads for Amazon products and also previews for other Amazon shows. It doesn’t surprise me that there are pause screen ads now like other streaming services.

Oi! That’s a good idea!

Chicken Sausages are actually pretty gross but I like them anyway and I used to eat them all the time with noodles such that I would have some protein. Such that I didn’t feel like absolute trash after 15 minutes of consuming the noodles. Of course I don’t eat that much salt now and have genuinely lost a lot of weight over it now that I eat slightly healthier and eat slightly over the legal limit of salt usually a day here in America instead of 3 times over it.

I have my own family cat and he won’t ever leave me alone ever and hates when I leave. His name is guy and he likes to cuddle and purr on me or in my arms now and distrusts my mom so much so that he doesn’t even let her hold him. She is the real owner of the cat.
