How dare you use a text editor because it's easy to use
  • I was Nano user and I liked it. After I learned to use Vim, I liked it more. Now when I use nano it's frustrating to use and I can do things much faster and easier in vim 😅

  • Why does my treadmill want my email address?
  • Meanwhile in my password manager: 727 login accounts 😶

  • For security reasons
  • If they know this case. In other email services dots are usually not a junk characters.

  • For security reasons
  • Yep, that what I was trying to say 😄 Been using that feature for years.

  • For security reasons
  • Gmail allow using a + to create faux-labels

    I wonder how they handle gmail addresses with dots as you can put dot in anywhere and it still will redirect to your email.

    I've setup (for few services which don't allow + sign) emails like foobar@gmail.com, foo.bar@gmail.com, fo.o.bar@gmail.com and they all come to my inbox.

  • Links and recommendations, please...
  • Battle Beast is currently my favorite live band what I've seen. Show has always been epic and full of energy, I just love it.

  • A Linux user's nightmare: the machine was wiped clean with one click
  • Reminds me of old bumblebee install script:

    An extra space at line 351:
    rm -rf /usr /lib/nvidia-current/xorg/xorg
    
  • Firefox Devs Working on Tab Previews
  • 1000ms delay seems to be little too much to my liking, changed browser.tabs.cardPreview.delayMs to 500 and it feels much better.

    Preview is pretty short for some reason, it might be related to my monitor (32:9) aspect ratio?

  • The Google messaging update looks bad. It reminded me I purchased textra a while ago.
  • Just to be clear, never said that I used all of those. Just made quick list of most popular apps to use here :P If I had to guess, over 95% of people here just use WhatsApp.

    They all have pretty much same functionality what traditional sms is missing.

  • The Google messaging update looks bad. It reminded me I purchased textra a while ago.
  • And US still has very expensive data plans compared to Finland (I pay 21e/month for unlimited 200mbps data, calls, sms). That could also be one factor why SMS is still used there so much 🤔

  • The Google messaging update looks bad. It reminded me I purchased textra a while ago.
  • For voice calls, most use regular phone calls here, it just works better (and VoLTE/VoWiFi is great addition to sound quality). Apps are only used when you are making video calls.

    As for messages, it's much easier to send images/videos via whatsapp/signal than it's via SMS. + replies/reactions. Probably main reason why people use apps instead SMS (even while many/most of our plans include unlimited data/sms/calls). RCS added those features IIRC, but why switch to another solution while apps works just fine and most of people already are used to Whatsapp 🤷‍♂️

    And most of the people here has Whatsapp installed, so usually you don't have to guess what app to use :P

  • The Google messaging update looks bad. It reminded me I purchased textra a while ago.
  • Just out of curiosity, how much people still use SMS? I can't remember last time I sent SMS.

    Here in Finland we use mainly Whatsapp, FB Messenger, Telegram or Signal for messaging. Almost no one I know has sent SMS in the last 10 years.

  • Sideloading won't be enabled where I live
  • or offer a long lifetime of updates

    In Samsung unpacked event Samsung announced that it will extend Android And Security updates to 7 years

  • Removed
    Best tablet for streaming?
  • Custom ROM has high change to break Widevine DRM L1. And ex. Netflix has better streaming quality on L1 than it has on L3 (1080p vs 480p). At least this was the case few years ago.

  • It’s time to increase the fines for drivers who block intersections
  • And make fine based on income, not just static sum. Works well in Finland.

  • Google promises a rescue patch for Android 14’s “ransomware” bug
  • So do you have a work phone number?

    I don't have work number currently. And I very rarely call with my phone to coworkers.

    when you could just organize your work applications in a single area

    You could do that, but you would miss some of the features. Ex. I use same browser on normal and work profile, but I have two icons (one for work, one for normal) to open browser. When I'm on my work profile, I'm logged in with my work Google account and it doesn't interfere with my normal profile browser. Same thing for Gmail, calendar, contacts, Google docs/sheets etc. And if I ever want to get rid of works stuff on my phone, I just delete work profile.

    And for security reason when normal profile apps cannot interfere with work profile apps in any way. Ex. I can have one password manager on my work profile and another on normal profile and they cannot share information in any way and I can keep my work and private passwords separate.

    And like I previously said, this works for entertainment use also, as I can have two instances of same app with different login information (like pokemon go)

  • Google promises a rescue patch for Android 14’s “ransomware” bug
  • I personally got couple use cases.

    Work profile: I can split my works stuff and personal very easily (and for security as personal apps cannot see or work with work stuff usually).

    This also helps if you want to get same app installed multiple times. Ex. I could install pokemon go and use two profiles same time with split screen.

    "true" secondary profile: like in desktop OS where you can create multiple profiles, this will "boot" phone to new profile and it has own partition and apps. Cannot interact with other "true" profiles.

    I use that with my child if I hand phone to her. She cannot get to my stuff (not even images or other data) and only has her stuff available.

  • Alright Google, how is a radio input a good choice for a range of times
  • Couldn't you just tab write_number tab write_number?

    Like you could do here

  • What browser do you use on your PC/Mac?
  • Firefox developer edition.

    Switched to that because of chrome's manifest v3 announcement.
