  • What are some of the most overrated vacation destinations?

    Jump

  • Honestly speaking, Dubai.

    Not because of slavery, poop trucks, questionable government policies, etc.

    The real reason to me is that it does not offer anything traditional or historical. Yes it has some five start restaurants. Yes it has some big malls. Yes you can do stuff like desert driving or hot air balloons. These are all stuff that could be done anywhere else for cheaper.

  • EVs Take 23.6% Share In Germany — Below 2021 Levels

  • My only issue with EVs is their price.

    I don't really trust the quality of Chinese cars but if they will prove there is a market for cheap EVs why not. It might convince bigger companies to focus on rolling out affordable EVs.

  • What are you buying now to avoid upcoming price increases?

    Jump

  • Been archiving a lot of my favourite shows. I expect a lot of them to either disappear in ten years, or sit behind some subscription.

  • Latest One UI 7 leak reveals Samsung features and new lock screen coming with Android 15

    Jump

  • Shitty icons, unnecessary quick panel change, and obligatory AI.

  • Lots of PCs are poised to fall off the Windows 10 update cliff one year from today

    Jump

  • I have an old pc running windows 10, it would be cool if it stops getting updates. Makes for a nice offline pc to get some old apps and games running in the future.

  • YouTube is now hiding the skip button on mobile too

    Jump

  • I started using YTDLP to download the shows I care about and have them saved offline.

    I used to watch a show that got taken down. The show came back online few months later with heavy modifications to remove any potential DMCA footage from it.

  • 84% Of Americans Want Tougher Online Privacy Laws, But Congress Is Too Corrupt To Follow Through

  • They will take it seriously if their personal information becomes visible.

  • Any app that toggle mobile data with physical key or quick move (widget for example), without root thanks!

    Jump

  • Depends on your phone, some Samsung phones come with modes that can do that out of the box.

  • How difficult would it be to fork and mantain a chromium version that still supports Manifest V2?

  • For a year, but it will be extremely difficult for them to maintain mv2 after jun 2025.

  • Switched to GrapheneOS today

    Jump

  • I can but the issue is that I won't be using it. My current phone will be better than a used phone bought.

  • Switched to GrapheneOS today

    Jump

  • I don't mind giving graphene a try but I'll be honest, I have the following issues:

    • Need to buy a pixel phone for this.
    • I use a memory card so pixel phones might not be an option.
    • fear of bricking a phone that I just got.

  • Hey Reddit lurkers! my ad-free, open source Reddit viewer RDX is on Android now

    Jump

  • I do have two questions here to be honest,

    1. Why post on lemmy when you can post it on Reddit? Increased visibility?
    2. Why use this instead of RedReader?

  • YouTube tests server-side ads to make your coveted blocker obsolete

    Jump

  • Thats not how it works. If a server is streaming ads to you then it shouldnt be a problem detecting that and blocking out that server.

    What Google is doing is baking in the ad into the video so that the video itself has the ad embedded into it. This way you cant block a certain server from serving ads. And if those ads baked in have different duration for each user, then SponsorBlock stop behaving properly as it uses timestamps to skip segments.

  • YouTube tests server-side ads to make your coveted blocker obsolete

    Jump

  • The issue is that Sponsorblock uses timestamps of videos to skip segments. If the ads injected all have different durations, then SponsorBlock is now obsolete.

  • Unofficial Reddit API

    Jump

  • It's a good initiative, but is it really worth at this time?

    I am not entirely sure to be honest. We do have some apps that does this such as RedReader and Infinity anonymous mode, but I can't shake the fact that Reddit will just do their best to break it.

    Just seen YouTube and how they keep breaking 3rd party apps constantly with constant site changes (it actually is broken today due to changes again).

    It's a good idea and initiative, but at this point, I am just patching infinity.

  • Android users, what's stopping you from switching to an iPhone?

    Jump

  • File level access to files. I would love to have the option of moving files in folders and connecting it to a PC to drag and drop files.

    True multi tasking.

    Ability to install apps from other sources.

  • What YouTubers did you used to watch back then but not anymore?

    Jump

  • Ask a Ninja.

  • Apple finally adds support for RCS in latest iOS 18 beta | TechCrunch

    Jump

  • They will still keep them green. You know how teens react to those bubbles.
