Are such third-party devices trustworthy? A few months ago it turned out that a lot of Android set top boxes that you can buy on Amazon come with pre-installed spyware that you can't remove. Wouldn't the same be a risk here?

Is there a way to quickly go to a subscribed community, either from a list or directly by name?

Nice, looking forward to it!

But why would you need to disable mobile data when you enable WiFi? WiFi is automatically preferred, so having the mobile data toggle on or off doesn't matter while connected to WiFi.

I used to follow the OnePlus magazine on the old site. I can't remember the last time I read something good a OnePlus user said about their phone.

What's your go-to Android Browser and why? in c/[email protected]
[–] TwinTurbo 5 points 1 year ago

Firefox and Vivaldi. Both have ad blockers and bottom address bar. With Firefox I use some additional add-ons, like Consent-o-Matic, but the Vivaldi interface is nicer and very customizable. I also use the DDG browser for occasional searches.

CarPlay and Android Auto actually work well, and you can use the apps that you already have on your phone. The screens are generally more convenient and restrict view less than a phone holder stuck to the window. But without those, I agree that I'd rather have no screen than one with crappy media controls and the car's own navigation.

Google's interpretation of Apple's AirDrop, Nearby Share, is now officially out of beta for Windows. in c/[email protected]

PairDrop is an improved version of SnapDrop that works both locally and over the Internet. I've found it more reliable to set up.

Some advice I found a while back was to commit it for user-facing applications, where it's more important that they get exactly the same behaviour you tested, but to leave it out for libraries, where the flexibility of dependency versions is more valuable.

Yes, I think that's it. Their website really don't make it easy to figure out...

Can we get a weekly app recommendation thread? (self.android)

I liked the Saturday APPreciation threads on /r/Android and found them really useful for discovering new apps. How about we get something similar rolling here?

Chrome may soon allow screenshots in Incognito mode (www.androidpolice.com)
submitted 2 years ago by TwinTurbo to c/android

I use private browsing a lot for the automatic site data clearing. Several browsers restrict taking screenshots in private windows, which is only an inconvenience to me. I hope more browsers will allow the user to decide if screenshots are allowed on their own device.

Quickly open post in your home instance? (self.lemmy)
 

Say I have a direct link to a post on a Lemmy instance other than the one where my account resides. For example, https://lemmy.ml/post/1378136, but my account in on Lemmy.world. Clinking the link opens the post on the link's home instance (in this case Lemmy.ml), but if I want to subscribe to the community or comment on the post, I need to open it on my account's home instance.

Is there a quick way to open the post on my home instance? So far, my best method involves opening the community in my own instance, finding the post, then commenting from there. If anyone has a quicker method, please share.

Cannot reach one specific IPv6 from one specific network (self.sysadmin)

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/224140

My home ISP does CGNAT for IPv4, but provides native IPv6. I can use IPv6 just fine to access most of my resources, except for one specific server. I can access the server over IPv4 from my home network, and either over v4 or v6 from other networks I've tried. But I can't access it over IPv6 from my home network.

What could be the problem here? Where do I begin to diagnose it

S21 FE battery usage from 5G and 120 Hz (self.samsung)
submitted 2 years ago by TwinTurbo to c/samsung
7 comments fedilink
 

The S21 FE doesn't have an LTPO display, so you can run it at either fixed 60 Hz or fixed 120 Hz; there's no dyanmic scaling. For those of you who own one, what difference in battery usage do you notice from running the display at 60 Hz vs 120 Hz?

Furthermore, the modem in the SD888 is not the most efficient around. How does you battery life compare when you have 5G enabled (and actually connect to a 5G network) vs staying on 4G only?

Experience with pkgsrc as a non-privileged user? (self.sysadmin)
 

cross-posted from: https://lemmy.world/post/158455

I sometimes have to use remote systems that I don't have root access to. I often find that I need to install packages in my home directory, so either I build from source or copy over my own pre-compiled versions.

Recently I've found out about pkgsrc. I'm looking for opinions from anyone who has used it to install packages without root access. Any feedback is useful!

Link iPhone as WhatsApp Secondary Device (self.apple_enthusiast)
 

Has anyone managed to use an iPhone as a secondary device linked to a main Android phone? There should be an option on the first screen when you install the app, but I don't get that on my phone. There are a few threads from a few months ago reporting the same issue, but no solution.
