  • Did some searching, and all of Readmoo's previous devices run Android. So you aren't forced to buy any books from them. Install whatever reading app you want and get your books with whatever method you choose.

  • No. But you can use it to find interesting apps, and then use either F-Droid/Droid-ify to search the app name and install it, or by copying the URL for the GitHub/Gitlab repo linked on OpenAPK for an app into Obtainium. That way you'll get updates.

  • Nah, for system stuff that updates via Google Play, it's always been like that. Like Android System Webview for example, if you search Google Play for it you only see the Beta and Developer versions of it. You need a direct link to see the default one included with modern Android.

    https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.google.android.webview

  • I've never had an app frozen through ADB get auto-updated by the Play Store or Google Services and get re-enabled because of it. An app with an update available will even disappear from the Update list if disabled, and in order to update it you have to enable it first.

  • Using ADB:

     undefined
            adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.safetycore 
    
    
      

    If you have Shizuku and aShell/ShizuShell installed, then just run this command in aShell:

     undefined
            pm disable-user --user 0 com.google.android.safetycore 
    
    
      

    Alternatively, for a GUI method, setup Shizuku and then use an app like Hail or Ice Box

  • People have been able to extend the electromagnetic effect to a few feet, but yeah, there's a reason why most just use the close range version we have today.

    Here's a demo from 2009: https://youtu.be/MgBYQh4zC2Y

    Microwave transmission has also been explored in addition to lasers, as you say, but either way both methods involve power loss in energy conversion, and they both are very directional, making it impractical for consumer use.

    But anyway, just wanted to say that the tech technically exists since it's funny when normal people bring it up without knowing the limitations of current technology and physics.

    Fediverse Redirect - Have ANY Lemmy link open in Sync

    The one annoying thing about Lemmy over Reddit, is that you'll open a link from somewhere on the web and the Lemmy Instance's site loads instead of your preferred client app. Sync already supports around a hundred instances but there's way more out there than that. However, there is a solution! Fediverse Redirect acts as a middleman that keeps an up-to-date list of basically all Lemmy instances, and then redirects all of them to your client of choice, including Sync! Just install the Lemmy Redirect app via APK or their F-Droid repo, and then follow the directions in the app to setup the redirects and which client to point to. I used the Shizuku method personally, but there is a manual settings method and a LinkSheet middleman method as well. No root or Magisk is required for any of the methods.

    They also have a Mastodon version that does the same thing, but for Mastodon instances and clients.

    Remember when they'd send you these for free?

    I was digging through some stuff and stumbled on this. To think it's been 15 years. Crazy what you used to be able to get a free CD of back in the day.

    Free In-flight WiFi and Internet (Tested: Southwest Airlines US)

    Not your normal kind of piracy, I know, but thought some would be interested.

    On a recent flight I was screwing around on my phone while connected to Southwest's WiFi. Southwest doesn't have traditional In-flight entertainment, instead offering movies and shows through a local LAN server on their WiFi for free. To get Internet access you load the site and pay $8usd using a CC, and then they'll unblock your device from the WAN.

    Here's the fun part, for the LOLs I tried accessing my various VPNs and Proxies, including Google's, not expecting much. I've known of various tricks involving setting up a VPN or SSH on a DNS port or similar to try and get past web filters, but I've never been bothered enough to go through the trouble. But thinking of that, I decided to give Cloudflare's 1.1.1.1 DNS app a try, since while its kinda a VPN, it does some things differently since their goal isn't to give you a f

    Desktop Mode Keeps Opening Wine Mono Installer

    Every time I'm in Desktop Mode this pops up. It seems to be spawned by Steam Proton, though I'm not sure why since it happens even before I launch a game or software. Can't figure out what exact process is running it. Hitting install either fails checksum, or nothing happens after it finishes the download, and then it just pops up again. Any ideas?
