  • I need to install Magisk.

    Google:
    1st result: their Github page
    2: magisk-manager.fr.uptodownDOTcom/android
    3: magiskmanagerDOTcom/
    4: magisk-manager.fr.softonicDOTcom/android

    Kagi:
    1st result: their Github page
    2: magiskDOTme/ (icon showing it may be scam)
    3: magiskmanagerDOTcom/ (scam icon)
    4: themagiskDOTcom/ (scam icon)

    No way I’m clicking on anything but the Github page.
    Kagi is somewhat better than Google, but you have to pay attention to the small warning icon.
    I would say bot search engines do a bad job and shouldn’t show those results (or have an option “show me unsafe websites”)

    edit: uptodown and softonic might not be as bad. Still wouldn’t download from them.









  • Yes older gen is fine, but I don’t see that much of a difference on the 4TB drives, they tend to all start at 190-200€. Maybe because there aren’t any older gen at that capacity yet? I haven’t followed SSDs progress closely.

    I won’t buy from Amazon either. I don’t have much experience with Aliexpress, and haven’t looked up their history out of laziness. Will do.

    It’s hard, if not impossible, to buy ethical tech. I prefer to buy second hand, but that doesn’t really make a difference.
