The pdf might be password protected, some viewers can’t handle it. I would try adobe or send it to someone with desktop to check.

Those plastic rectangles doesn’t have any security against range extend attacks so they can steal money from you and you would be plain unaware and defenses. While phone or watch will only enable contactless payment on demand making it way safer. And you can pay with contactless payment everywhere in Poland while you sometimes can’t pay with inserting physical card on some automated devices as there is no where to insert that card, you can only use contactless feature of that card.

Not to mention those plastic rectangles cost yearly or sometimes even monthly, while app is 100% free. And if the app at any point in time do anything that I didn’t agree in the agreement and/or bypass any permissions I didn’t grant them there will be hell to pay for them.

But maybe I’m wrong, I don’t know…

I use bank app for contactless payments. But the bank app have no other permissions, even location is fake.

How do they enable the cube desktop preview? 😍

In case of f-droid, it’s follow more the Linux distro phylosopy, where the binaries are build and offered to you not by the developer but by distro/repository maintainers people.

You can add your own repository or use your friend repository or use f-droid ones.

In case od f-droid repository, to get app published your app need to adhere to rules one of them is that the code need to be public so the repo maintainers can build the app from it.

Comparing it to play store where the app is build and sign by the developer without making the code public, in turn making it almost impossible to know and follow what the app is doing.

So its a matter of trust.

For some apps I would rather install them from f-droid as I have higher confidence that someone looked at it if the app is not harmful or leaking my private data. For other apps like Banking apps I would rather install them from Aurora store where I dont know what the app is doing but I trust more to protect my money than some random dude on internet. And if bank does something bad I will sue them or just stop using their service.

In home assistant every entity has “assist” config, you can remove any entity from assist which in turn will prevent it from being included in “all” assist/voice target.

So you can have a plug for server without worry but need to remove it from assist.

My guess it is zip’ping the directory in memory to send it as single zip file, hence use a lot of memory. Better to zip/tar directory yourself and send that file over.

Based on screenshots - the status in Process tab is useless in most cases IMHO. Better telling would be CPU℅ telling proportion of sleep&running.

But overal nice looking, having tabs like flatpak and such that sounds useful.

Just go to the settings, apps, Tusky app and click “open defaults” or something default dont know how its called in English. It will unset all default targets of that app.

Best to buy phones that you can relock your bootloader, from memory I can only think of 2 phone manufacturers that allow that: Fairphone and Pixel phones that allow you to relock bootloader.

I bought Fairphone 5 with Degoogled /e/ OS from Murena to avoid that annoying cat and mouse game. I bought from murena website to get my phone already with degoogled firmware flashed.

In my case bootloader is locked with google attestation so 99,9% apps works, including Banks apps with TAP to pay. Bank payments that dont use google pay but implent NFC directly works (so except for google pay other pay method should work).

Both my bank apps works with tap to pay, But Your milage may vary.

Im happy with my phone. Due to all that, not a single app had issues with “valid OS checks” because it actually is valid, it did came directly from seller and never got unlocked/flashed.

It is locked but I should be able to unlock bootlader, flash different firmware version and lock it back up making the attestation valid again but didn’t do that yet so can’t be 100% sure.

It sounds like jest plain simple website/forum BUT with specific protocol making it more discoverable/searchable?

Allowing to post comments anonymously… sound like a bad idea in the long run, but who know, make me eat my words.

Most likely run on some random old version of Linux Distro with minimal or no GUI running.

(But who knows, as I don’t have experience with commercial/old versions of windows that could have broken sync)

I did saw You could also use Tailscale and use their internal signed certificates. Then you can access it both internally and remotly over Tailscale with SSL.

Personally I own a domain for years and just use it.

Wow, I no longer need to backup my own purchased games, as Sony will do it for me /s

assuming that Google is not malicious

Previously they would need to push malicious code to your device to steal your login data, that is a risk that someone would do reverse engineering on that and expose it, now they will have the data on their servers and they can abuse it any time they want, I doubt they will use it to login as you, but they will use it as metadata to connect all your accounts for marketing.

proper authentication protocol do not send your password to Google to authenticate

That is not true for 99% services including google. Google have a plain text password at the time you are logging in, they just store hashed+salted version in storage.

(Almost) No website (or app) is hashing the password before sending it to server, so if you hack the login screen you can dump RAW passwords anytime.
