Reason I don’t use Freetube is it will never show age restricted videos because it doesn’t sign into YouTube your also limited to a max of 1080.

I used the Mozilla account sync thing that’s built in but it didn’t restore the extensions.

bookmarks and passwords seem to have copied over to the DivestOS one though.

Drives probably rusted away to nothing by now, even if he miraculously could find it the odds of getting anything from it are probably less than him winning the lottery.

I’ve a feeling we’re ry going to regret all this anti Chinese nonsense in the future, I think Google etc have already sealed their ultimate fates.

The Huawei thing might well go down as one of the worst mistakes in history.

For anyone wondering I’m UK not Chinese completely white from Belfast.

I’ll take your word for it but between all the nonsense Google and Mozilla have pulled I’m not sure where to place my belief.

I’m sticking to thorium for now because it’s fast and does what I want in a browser

Kinda agree it should have an update built in, I’m using Chris Titas/Titus update script to update it.

Which to be honest doesn’t seem to update it much.

I’m mostly basing my use on it being quite fast and the dev cursing out Google and swearing to keep Ublock.

First I’ve heard of it honestly, I’m in the weird position I don’t really trust Google or Mozilla so all I’m using is forks.

If those go ad crazy I’m kinda screwed.

I’m being downvoted heavily on Reddit for suggesting thorium instead of Chrome.

My guess is bots as thorium is way faster and the dev hates the thought of a chromium browser without Adblock.

Moronically I think the Reddit hive mind is following that opinion and I may have to delete the comment or face site wide blacklisting which is what usually happens.

I just close the page usually if I see one of these ones, I don’t have the patience to click all the boxes and then it just sends you a different one.

Wasn’t he also behind the redline icon pack (which I do actually like) but yeah subscription for something you can easily find your own images or even just ask an AI to make.

Subscriptions aren’t something I’ll ever buy into software wise and if they are offering an actual service it better be worth the money and give me more than an image.

Never seen a single ad here in the UK and constant 5 bars no other phones came close, that battery also lasted me 2 days and the camera, remote desktop etc were stellar.

Kinda feel Huawei were the ones pushing everything new and Samsung was playing copycat.

Oh yeah Ir blaster, Micro SD and a headphone jack.

I think the whole Huawei ban thing is going to so badly keep backfiring. Best phone I’ve ever owned was a Huawei I can really see this taking major market from both Android and Windows given time.

Will probably take them a while though.

I dunno I really like “The Boys” and “Fallout” they seem to actually make decent shows where as Netflix just churns out low budget garbage they manage to cancel before you even know exist.

Really going to miss the grand tour though TV won’t be the same without those 3 together.

Show your receipt you have 10 seconds to comply

Have you ever used upx on a windows machine, defender throws fits and deletes everything.

It’s a nice gimmick and sometimes fun but probably not worth it given the state of the planet already.

Gemini a no go for me just for the simple fact you need to unlock your phone to get a response. At the point I’m lifting my phone it’s easier to just do whatever myself.

Google’s gone full evil between this and all the YouTube ruining.

I’ve bought apps on Google Play where I’ve had to download the apk elsewhere because of restrictions like scoped storage making them almost unusable.

Neutron music players one example where they have to keep an apk on their own site to get round Google restrictions. as scoped storage is about 20 times slower not to mention a real hassle. PPSSPP is another example and probably a lot of emulators were folder access is kind of important.

If only he tends to give these things to the conmen installing the junk. I’ve tried to stop him wasting his money so many times but it’s futile I’ve tried to use his latest oven he had an amazing one before but when I tried to use the new one following every instruction he said and the actual manual I looked up online myself the food came out later absolutely fridge cold.

He insists his new cooker is brilliant, what can you do with that response to something that’s obviously broken from new and he should be returning.

He might need a home but I can’t do that to him truthfully, I just wish he had some common sense when it comes to things like appliances etc.

My dad falls into this category he constantly replaces things with way worse things just because they are new, I can’t get my mind round how he can replace really good working stuff with new junk that isn’t even capable of doing the job.

Wish I was joking but he does this constantly.
