“Some devices can still send their location for up to 24 hours after they’ve been turned off or have low battery life.”
https://www.91mobiles.com/hub/exclusive-google-find-my-device-feature-phone-off
“Google began rolling out this feature as “Powered Off Finding” with the Pixel 8 series, letting users locate their phone even when it’s switched off by keeping the Bluetooth chip active.”
And those are only some of the official known possibilities

454·21 days agoThere is no such thing as “off” on modern Smartphones. Even if you power it down things like the baseband prozessor and bluetooth still stay active most of the time.
If the battery is integrated into device there ist no real way to completely shut this things down.
KeepassXC supports passkeys as well.

285·2 months agoI got 150 hours out of this game and I think that is very much all i will ever play.
For a good while it was even quite interesting because there were still a lot of new things to discover.
But then you started to do things just to get them done not because they were particularly fun or interesting.
If they don’t implement some fundamental new way to play this game or combine existing mechanics better together I don’t think anything could pull me back.
And i hope procedural generation starts to die very soon. Throwing the same basic ingredience into a mixer does not give you something new but more of the same. It’s boring.
Könnte erklären, warum ich die letzten Wochen immer so extrem müde bin.

27·3 months agoWe should really start concentrating more on decentralization.
Take Freifunk as example and similar projects.
What we need is a user-run private alternative to the internet. Wireless mesh networks are a very interesting step in that direction.
As long the infrastructure is owned by the government and companies, we will never be really free.

7·4 months agoIsn’t RCS for the most part using Google services and servers? I don’t know if that really is that much better.
To my knowledge, the original idea to have RCS be operated by the mobile providers is pretty much dead.

Privacy@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Google has made it much harder for GrapheneOS & CalyxOS to update to Android 16 English
1·5 months agoPostmarketOS seems to support many devices
3 devices. They support 3 devices under the “main” branch. And those are not even real devices but emulated on PC.
Every single smartphone they support falls under the “community” branch. that means it was made available by volunteers in their free time. some will never see further updates after getting them to work once.
And the list looks like this:
Release Year Name Missing / Broken or not tested Features 2021 Fairphone 4 Battery Status / charging, Wifi, Audio, Camera, GPS, NFC 2021 PinePhone Pro Partial Battery Status, Camera, SMS, Calls, USB-OTG 2020 PINE64 PinePhone Camera 2020 Purism Librem 5 Camera and so on. there is none newer then 2021 and then it goes very fast down to 2012. see yourself: https://wiki.postmarketos.org/wiki/Devices#Phones
It does run on many phones, but e.g. support for Camera is very very rare because that is one thing you most of the time only get a binary blob for as driver and not the source code. and it is a god damn nightmare to get those things working.

0·5 months agoThis would mean that all the necessary drivers for the entire hardware would have to be recreated by reverse engineering. that would take years until you have an even halfway working device.
In the end, you have to poke around randomly in the hardware until at some point a light goes on somewhere. and so on. takes freaking forever. some devices don’t have working support after a decade and more of work.

2·5 months agoIts not about popularity. to be frank, the performance of Pixels is mediocre at best. It is neither particularly fast, nor does it have a particularly long battery life, nor is it overly stylish.
The strength lies in the dedicated security hardware and the fact that you can re-lock the bootloader, which is extremely rare. plus 7 to 10 years support with updates.
In terms of privacy and security the combination of Pixel Hardware and GrapheneOS Software could be considered the holy grail. There is just no other hardware right now that comes even close.

Hell yeah, moding Skyrim was a absolute pain in the ass. Will definitely give your tool a try. Thanks!
