While Android as a whole continues to shrink in the US, Google Pixel keeps growing

  • With a partially broken screen and weak battery it may be time for a new phone anyway. I will look into pixel and GrapheneOS. Thank you for the suggestion.

  • Tried that, but the banking apps still claims that the security check failed.

  • Tkank you. I already had magisk. I tried installing the safetynet-fix, bit unfortunately it did not resolve the issue on my Xiaomi Mi A2 phone.

  • Is there an Android phone that supports dual boot? I would like to have that so can use Lineage or something similar and only boot into Google android when I need to use banking app or government ID that requires the safetynet antifeture. This would free me from carrying two phones. But I suppose a locked down bootloader can not support dual boot and an unlocked will not support the safetynet antifeature.

    Anyone install Linux on a Chromebook?

  • I have Arch running on a Chromebook using depthboot.

    Updated my Samsung phone and it installed unwanted apps

  • Thank you. I will look into those settings.

    The problem is when those apps are required for banking, identification with government websites and money transfer and no free software alternative exists. Somwhow the government dont see it as a problem to force people to be Google or Apple customers. At the moment I am forced to have two phones. One relatively secure and free with LineageOS and one insecure and nonfree used for banking ++ which I only turn on when I need.

  • I also run LineageOS, but some apps installed using Aurora will not work since the phone can not prove to be part of the Google bootnet. I think it's called SafetyNet. How do I get around that problem?

    What was your first experience using Linux? How old were you? Stick around or did you go back to windows before eventually circling back to Linux?

  • Kernel panic after installing Redhat 6, not RHEL, in the late 90s or early 2000s. Later tried 7 and has been using Linux since.

    How did you mess with school computers?

  • Made a basic script with a nested loop to burn ~20 mins before playing some annoying sounds using the PC speaker. The PC must have been a <=286. I started the script once just before the English teacher arrived and disconnected and hid the keyboard. It resulted in some entertainment when he had to try to silence the PC, but eventually he found the power button.

    why not a,b or x,y?

  • I don't like i and j since they are commonly used for imaginary numbers. I like to start on n. Probably because I do DSP.

    What's your favorite game you never hear anybody talk about?

  • I like the DOS game Nuclear War. Funny and quick to complete.
