not called Brad but rather a lad, from Bradford in the UK.

Enjoys breaking apps, escooters, spam rings and sometimes bones, drones, but not my own. Because that sucks.

  • Streaming music server for YouTube

    Jump

  • This reminds me of some peeps saying using Newpipe is "(app) piracy". I wholly disagree with them to this day.

    If a website, which YouTube.com is and allows a client to connect and use its services it isn't, piracy per se.

    Much like because I have a UK IP address I can hit up get_iplayer and use that service which IMO should be the norm.

    e: apologies for not been helpful, I'm just ranting.

  • Thousands of hacked TP-Link routers used in years-long account takeover attacks

    Jump

  • I've had no end of trouble with routers and ones you should choose to be sure of.

    The ones where you can flash OpenWRT seems the only choice if you want some semblance of security. But even my current Xiaomi router with stock firmware creates hash mismatches using apt to download things, and I don't 100% know with confidence that using OpenWRT on it instead is keeping me right.

  • ‘Giant bronze poop’ statue ‘honoring’ those involved in Jan. 6 riot appears on National Mall

  • Yeah, I'm a Britbong and apparently we're regarded for knowing satire when it stares us in the face.

    And we've also had the simple truth that the Germans at one point were terribad at it but are now nailing it down, especially when you come to the above users calling it "satire".

    It's a shit joke in very bad taste no matter where you're from or whatever political spectrum you're aligned to. Made me giggle to be honest, and especially so how you downvoted for not getting lel joke.

    Tally ho'

  • Maintaining a level of anonymity.

    Jump

  • Exactly, that's why anything I do with my real name is on my wholly separate profile / device / email.

    It's a boring computer that has my real name on it.

  • Google will just add your new account to your profile and keep right on selling your shit.

    This is exactly why I used a pseudonym from the outset.

  • Coca-Cola Recalls Its Popular Zero Sugar Drink Because It Contains Full Sugar

    Jump

  • Thing is though there's around 12-24 bottles per case depending on the size of the bottles.

    Our fastest filler here at work does 36,000 bottles an hour, so you definitely won't be getting 13,000 cases in 30 seconds I can assure ya ;)

    5th Circuit rules ISP should have terminated Internet users accused of piracy

  • I've had a couple of vapid emails from VirginMedia for one (Animal Kingdom) of many TV shows I've downloaded over the years.

    Shame they didn't send it by snail mail, could've got some free toilet paper out of them then.

  • Discord alternatives?

    Jump

  • Some groups have allegedly used the “901” tag in their usernames to identify themselves, raising alarms among officials and parents alike

    What does this mean? I can't seem to find info on what a 901 tag even is.

  • Google Drive started killing third-party apps: End of the Road for Google Drive in Transmit

    Jump

  • Aye, I've given my old NAS enclosure to a family member and they've never been so happy having the arrrr stack running on it and I think it's like magic to them still.

    However one step at a time and I'll get them off Google Photos (I've plonked Immich and Jellyfin on their bedroom n100 box) and Drive if it kills me. Screw this bullshit of paying to store our data only for them to double down and invade their privacy.

  • Xiaomi will reportedly end its global bootloader unlock program

    Jump

  • We do, twice a year and it annoys me no end since I work some shitty continental hours and sometimes have to watch the clock go backwards through the night.

  • I have been out of the loop for over a decade, where do I begin?

    Jump

  • China-linked security breach targeted U.S. wiretap systems, WSJ reports

    Jump

  • It’s possible the hackers had access for months or longer to networks the U.S China country uses to make lawful requests for communications data, the newspaper wrote.

    I'd be curious how that works on the opposite end of surveillance states.

    I'm pretty sure GCHQ here likes my noods

  • British travel bloggers ‘sugarcoating’ China’s Uyghur problem to the delight of Beijing: Influencers claim to be exposing 'Western lies' about Xinjiang, claiming they have not seen human rights abuses

    Jump

  • That's strange. When I click the link from my front page feed I get the above but clicking from the comment section it's fine 🤔

  • Signal Piracy group

  • Aye, I've seen this misconception before and suspect it's specific countries in the European continent where you have to register.

  • No you don't.

    I can go to the corner shop/local garage right now, buy a SIM card for 99p and then buy a top-up voucher in cash to have a completely anonymous phone number.

    Albeit is the UK in Europe again? 🙈

    edit: where I would be worried if my privacy was on the line is I could also go to the local pawn shop / Cash Converters to ensure that SIM card isn't associated with an IMEI I've previously used and buy in cash a cheapo phone.

    Completely missed the non-capitalisation on the HTC one. Oops

  • I had both HTC One's and while the camera on both of them especially the m7 was dire purple durple shite, the battery life was never an issue for me and was when I first started seeing 6hr+ SOT constantly.

  • Telegram has the very public, very purposeful eye of the government on it right now.

    Which, "government", are you referring to here if you could expand please?

    Or are you saying all governments are averse to Telegram?
