For those of you who have been using Proton Mail for a year or longer, how reliable have you found it? Have you encountered any instances where websites didn't accept or didn't deliver to you Proton email address? Have you ever had trouble accessing Proton Mail while travelling?

I'm looking to try some of the Proton services soon, so I'd appreciate some honest experience from real users. Thanks!

On my Android phone, switching away from Liftoff to another app usually causes it to unload. So, when I switch back, it loses the scrolling position I had left, which means I have to start again at the top. Other apps on my phone don't do this, and apps used before Liftoff don't get unloaded, so I don't think this is a memory usage issue.

Has anyone else noticed the same?

It is more efficient to buy cheap supermarket sponges and replace them more often, or do you find that more expensive options are worth the additional cost?

When you put apps in deep sleep on a Samsung device, they're disabled unless you interact with them. This also removes them from the Play Store updates page, so they don't get updated.

Is there a way to keep installing updates for apps in deep sleep without manually going through each one?

Would it be possible to have an option to speed up (but not completely disable) animations? On my Android phone, Thunder animations are much slower than everything else in the system, so even just respecting the system setting would be great. Thanks!

Several years ago, I used Blockada, which was frequently recommended. According to some discussion threads, it seems to have fallen from grace.

What ad blocker that doesn't require root do you use? What's your experience with it? Would you recommend it?

Screenshots of Boost for Lemmy included.

Hi,

I want to buy an NVMe disk for storage and games. I want a TLC drive for reliability, but maximum sequential read performance is not important. I only have PCIe Gen 3 with no plans to upgrade in the near future.

Can you comment on whether I should look at a Samsung 970 Plus, a Crucial P5, or something else?

Edit: I would want something with a DRAM cache if possible.

Thanks.

Hi all,

I think it would be great to start a weekly/bi-weekly/monthly bean review and recommendation thread. Back in the days of the lockdowns, I found lots of great roasters on /r/Coffee and /r/Espresso, and I think it's generally interesting to see what others are using.

So, tell us about coffees that you've had recently, where they're grown and who they're roasted by, how you're preparing them, and anything else you'd like to share!

If you comment, please also let me know your thoughts on having this as a recurring discussion and how often you'd like to see it.

Cheers!

Is anyone else unable to comment? I've tried posting some comments several times, but I'm not getting past the spinning wheel.

Edit: Ok, it works here. Perhaps it’s related to specific communities? Although I was trying to post on a local community to begin with…

We’ve come full-circle: we went from the volumetric, 3D designs with shadows of the 2000s to everything flat, and now we’re gaining depth and shadows again!
