I do know one guy who went through with it simply because he thought that the thing that he invented was so cool that he couldn’t stop working on it.

What’s wrong with that? If it was commercially viable, then that’s a great reason to make a startup.

Physical cable to the nearest cell tower?

Windscribe has a Websocket tunnel option. Haven’t been on a network that’s been able to block this mode yet.

Could also be your sd card btw.

Yeah Micky D’s blocking root was enough reason for me to avoid installing it on my non-rooted phone for ages, because of the implication.

Did eventually cave though, saves me a few bucks once in a blue moon when I do go.

Watch as the 21st century as you know it devolve as supply chains collapse and everyone no longer has access to the necessities needed for survival.

I’m not a front-end dev by any means, but man is Svelte nice to use.

Wow this brings back memories, I think one of the tracks here was included with Windows 7.

Yep, I go for it for almost every project I do, also because of the price. The amount of features you get for like 5 or 6 dollars is crazy.

I’m honestly surprised this feature is still around. Don’t get me wrong, I love that it’s available when I get the chance to use it, but it’s so rarely, I question whether the development effort necessary to keep it going is really worth it.

Edit: completely forgot the value Dex has for Samsung tablets. Happy that they make this feature available on phones too.

Well tbf it’s just a microcontroller, it doesn’t run Linux

But you can just do that with a normal VPN? What’s the advantage doing it like this?

Yep, microsoft clarity is pretty useful, if you don’t wanna be tracked, just use an adblocker.

There’s a collection of similar extensions that worked for me to throw fingerprint.com off each time I opened an incognito window. Idk I’ve heard that having too many extensions can actually make the fingerprint problem worse. If this is a bad approach, I’m sure someone will correct me :D

An anonymous git account and tor?

Step 1: get a cat

Step 2: ???

Profit!

you’ll need the factory image for the device to extract the binary linked objects (“blobs”) that drive the actual hardware: the modems, camera, SIM card and whatnot.

Does this require that you somehow have access to the original firmware for the device? Or are you able to extract this from the firmware already installed on the device?

I’d assume it’s got something to do with the system you’re using them on, some issue with power or something that better quality drives are able to handle, but not these.

These are cheap, yes, but if everyone ordering these was failing just outside the return period, they’d have far more 1 star ratings.

Well you’ve clearly never 3d modelled anything. Especially for a part that has to fit to existing parts, it takes far more time than just making a cylinder.

If you have regular backups, not an issue. I use bitwarden self hosted through home assistant, which makes daily backups trivial.
