I’m using video download helper, an extension for firefox https://www.downloadhelper.net/ and it can download about every video from web site. At one time it was not able so it asked me to install a Companion App and with it was able to dl from anime site and all.

I understand it could make sense for 4G/5G telecom as transmit towers can be saturated etc if people download terabytes and terabytes every day. But for at home cable? having a cap makes no sense really…

I think it happened in time before, but when you have a lot of young people doing nothing like this, you better control them to avoid a general backlash/revolution. Being China, enrolling them in their army and invading a country/going to war, will keep them busy. It’s unfortunate, but it’s CCP.

With your budget, take the 75U78N at Costco, 2yr warranty + you can extend to 6yr for 150$ I think.

Hisense especially the 78N (and 88N) have absolutely beautiful stunning picture, maybe one of the best for the buck, check the review https://www.rtings.com/tv/reviews/hisense/u7n-u7-u75n it handles DolbyVision, HDR, 144Hz, etc

It does not use a shitty OS like roku nor ads like Samsung. You may need to have it plugged on internet for 1st boot and FW update, but after this you can obviously disconnect it, plug your HDMI device and that’s it, it will act as a dumb monitor.

Your btrfs was in a LUKS partition and you can decode it? But know that btrfs uses smart compression by default, so you can recover jpeg or zip easily in general, but for stuff compressed, not sure how to decompress them by hand … Like other commenter wrote, first do a full copy on another HD.

no clue, I am on HyperOS. But there is all the popular one like Lineage or Pixel

yeah about the same, old coot here, I plug a USB3-SSD (encrypted with LUKS) and rsync from internal HD to this external HD. That’s it.

last time I did it was in 2020 so certainly things changed a lot… xda is your friend :)

The A1x series has always been very low budget, slow, etc, anyway, in 6 years the phone will be unusable.

On modern android, it’s about impossible without rooting your phone

yeah, on previous phones I played cat-and-mouse with magisk and all kind of patch to have Wallet work, but it breaks every 2 or 3 weeks and you have to chase down how to re-fix it…

can we use Google Wallet to tap pay with an unlocked bootloader?

Same for PoCo ? It seems the PoCo F3 is one of the phone with the most custom ROM development on XDA, very popular.

Yeah, again, I saw this, there is multiple fork… I’m still using the latest 2.4.0 from 2021, I’ll see if it’s compatible.

I am using barrier for years too, I’ll check this one

Impressive work!

I’m with you on the french canadian keyboard, in a recent W11 laptop I got from work, it’s damn complicated to go in the settings, languages, etc and finally find the option to change keyboard layout! And sometimes if you have more than one kb, the system switch from one to another with some secret combo keys or damn god whatnot. I removed the US keyboard and just keep the FR_CA one.

Problem is mostly housing. When people earn 2000$/month and rent is 2000$/month, there’s a problem. In great Montreal, pre-covid, you had 1bd appartment for 500$ sometimes less, now it’s 1200+$

I don’t know what will happen with this, and the hundreds of thousands new people coming each and every years need housing too, and schools, and healthcare. Of course millionnaires politicians don’t give a shit.

I don’t know what program really is catching the keys, but from my keyboard, the vol+/- mute speaker and mute mic are working, my behavior enable keyboard shortcut checkbox is rightly checked.

I’m using Xfce, and the program to control volume is “pavucontrol”, no problem with it…

Plugin in my panel seems to be /usr/lib/x86_64-linux-gnu/xfce4/panel/plugins/libpulseaudio-plugin.so
