  • Yup, FEX to translate x86 to ARM.

  • Most of those things would only be possible by hiding them in a system update

  • It's possible but complicated.

    Since apps have access to the TPM API they can encrypt their own data in such a way that only the app's own authorized processes can retrieve the decryption key from the TPM chip

  • There's measures they could use in theory, but if you switch keyboard app away from Google's and set private text mode, enable screenshot protection, etc, then you should be good.

  • Do you want to keep the original file size or reduce it?

    It's possible to compress with minimal quality loss by transcoding (since you can switch from the old inefficient DVD codec to a modern one). But just ripping the ISO image of the disc is the easiest thing you can do and it preserves the original perfectly, so if you have enough disc space you could start with that and maybe compress later if you start to run out of space

  • That works well if you're OK with using default options, not very user friendly the second you want to tweak stuff.

  • OTOH that's mostly a paper democrat

    But I'll take the win

  • Surprise trinary!

  • For sites you visit occasionally, it's better to enable tab isolation and then enable JS only for that domain (note the difference between allowing JS from that domain in any tab, vs only allowing that tab with that domain to use JS, you should do the latter)

    If you're switching to a different browser you may as well use the same browser but a second clean profile and use private tabs so it doesn't retain history. Using private tabs in your main browser profile does also help but isn't perfect because there's still some metadata leaks occasionally.

    Using a different browser could ironically make you easier to track - how unique you are is the main signal used to track you (user agent, OS, language, etc), and going for an even more rare config will help their tracking even if you delete session cookies. Especially if they have a tracker across multiple domains you visit from different browsers from the same IP, with similar device fingerprinting results.

  • Probably the combination of having a controller and touchscreen but NOT having a keyboard. Or recognizing the CPU series (SoC type). Or both.

  • You can either follow the instructions or spend one of your 9 lives

  • [Windows subsystem] for [executable environment] is the naming scheme. The default is Win32, there's one for POSIX (practically never used), and Linux runs in another.

  • This affects the view of posts via the bluesky servers, but not via mirrors or other servers

    And the use of content addressing means you can be sure it hasn't been modified

  • Several Android manufacturers have their own settings in the OS for battery longevity (automatic schedule based smart charging, or charging limits)

    Don't think it's native in Android. Charging limits need support in the charging controller chip, plus driver support in the OS.

  • I use my backup headphones when my Bluetooth headset has run out of battery

  • Or make a rule that bosses have to try out everything they suggest for others first, let them Darwin award themselves instead of others

  • Wireguard is most reliable in terms of security. For censorship resistance, it's all about tunneling it in a way that looks indistinguishable from normal traffic

    Domain or IP doesn't make much of a difference. If somebody can block one they can block the other. The trick is not getting flagged. Domain does make it easier to administer though with stuff like dyndns, but then you also need to make sure eSNI is available (especially if it's on hosting) and that you're using encrypted DNS lookups

  • Telegram has been under fire from the start, lol. 'we have math PhDs" 🤷
