A couple years ago, I used Aurora to install paid games on my Shield TV. Games that Google Play doesn't normally allow on the Shield (like the PS2 era GTA games). Well Google changed something, and it's no longer possible to download and install purchased apps or games through Aurora, even if you log into your Google account. This sucks, because I formatted my Shield TV expecting be able to reinstall these games, but it doesn't work anymore.

Yeah, Aurora is still good, but Google has been crippling it.

Does this mean Aurorastore will be useful again?

Uh, ya, I mean... Just sounds too good to be true. Like, what's the catch, Scoob?

Outage affecting southern california. Haven't had service since 8:00am Pacific.

Same. My wife has service, but I do not.

Even monitoring for traffic violation or bad driving is questionable. How are they going to differentiate between bad driving because you weren't paying attention, and "bad" driving because someone cut you off and you had to take evasive action.

Like, maybe just leave me alone and stop trying to collect every bit of data possible on how I live my life. I don't trust them to correctly interpret anything they collect.

The Wii store remains my go-to example when talking to people who actually believe they own their digital purchases.

That I can't tell you. My Graphene phone broke and I'm using a Googled phone at present (bleh).

I checked Graphene's features page, but this was all I could find:

Call recording functionality within the Dialer app using modern Android storage with recordings stored in Recordings/Call Recordings and no restrictions based on region or special cases like playing a recording tone (users are still responsible for complying with their local laws).

They should play the entire Dave's Lemonade video in the trial.

GrapheneOS has native call recording without root. I haven't used it in six or eight months, but it worked last time I tried it.
