Does it also send a poop emoji now?

Yeah. They’ve been trying about every year since… I don’t know, two decades? They DEFINITELY will keep at it. They never give up.

Even if my new hardware came with 11 included “free”, I wouldn’t use it and find my way to install 10 on it.

Windows 10 has support for another full year…at least.

Go 98!

Awesome… Thanks! On second thought i think I’ll hold out about the esim part. I can control the privacy on my phone decently enough but that would fly out of the window if the smart watch can call home on its own.

Hmmm the music storage… How does it work? Can you just send an mp3? Or does it need to be from a specific service? Bummer about the esim, I was wanting to rid of the phone while I’m out running.

Now your comment has piqued my curiosity…I never considered a bigger smartwatch, and have kept myselft mostly to the Xiaomi band, which does more or less what I need it to…But I’m now curious how well does a Garmin cover the main points for me: -Read messages from SMS, Whatsapp, Telegram, etc (can I also reply to them, maybe voice-type or similar?) -Obviously tracking fitness, routes, heart rate and sleep etc it is probably way bounds out of the miband’s league. -Can it pair to a headphone and use it to play music during a fitness run? Does it have esim support or similar to use data? (these are a clear no-no on the miband, but then again, heh…about 25 bucks it costed me!).

Sugar? You mean, “apple juice”?. Check your juices next time. They’ll never day added sugar. But somehow you always get apple juice.

… How? My Tubular won’t open peertube links, and i have tagged all the extra links it offered in open by default

Pixels with grapheneos can reboot automatically after a number of hours with the screen off (unattended because you are sleeping). But this would also interfere with Whatsapp backup, which happens overnight.

Thanks. I’ve been noticing this A LOT. Deluge will stop and error out the download. You are forced to manually check the file before being able to resume the download. Only, it will error out again a few seconds later. Keeping a very up to date block filter seems to help, but only a little bit.

Sadly no luck…and re-syncing these manually would be a royal PITA. I’d be happy to re-encode them myself from source DVDs if I was able to find them (I’d assume the DVDs would have multilanguage?). But so far no luck :(

EDIT: Holy cow I think I might have found them. You can search Simpsons. MULTi DSNP RondoBYM on sites such as 1337. These encodes are…big, taking 25-30GB per season, but because they include about 10 languages audio? This is still untested, I’m trying to download these at the moment. Spanish, Latin Spanish, French, Portuguese are included (and many others, Czech, Turkish, Japanese?). I plan to run some remuxer or something later to cut out the audios I’m not interested on. Sadly (or obviously) this guy didn’t manage to go any further than seasons 1-8. The classics, I guess.

Tubemate. Tubular. Newpipe. Ublock if nothing else.

Whatsapp link previews are rendered at meta servers. They could display any propaganda or fake news warnings they wanted on those previews.

Some more recent bluetooth codecs (such as LDAC or aptX) are better ahead in audio compression, which given bluetooth’s limited bandwidth (and given than higher bandwidth usage means also more battery consumption), is something to keep in mind at all stages. In general, bluetooth audio quality is quite a mess of codec negotiations that happen mostly transparently to the user when an earphone connects. When a call is placed and the headset needs to also send audio besides receiving it, further codec changes are negotiated on the spot, prioritizing latency vs quality. Here’s a quick (kinda) guide to the most common bluetooth codecs any given audio device might use: https://www.whathifi.com/advice/what-are-the-best-bluetooth-codecs-aptx-aac-ldac-and-more-explained

With Airalo? Not really. If you manage to get the eSIM from the local provider, then sure, you can get the same rates, and before you even pack for the trip. But not all local providers are so readily to offer you an eSIM. And Airalo offers convenience at a not terrible rates, but definitely the best rates are local providers, physical or eSIM.

Not as good as the local sim (in Asia not by a long mile if I recall correctly), but it’s way more convenient. Then again, here we can get some daily limited (500MB-1GB, depending the country) data roaming packages for the equivalent of 1-2€ daily. If it’s quite a few days I’d go local sim, it’s a bit of a hassle the first day, but their data packages are silly cheap. I guess in Europe/US/Canada I’d consider seriously some Airalo or equivalent.

While that sounds nice and all, I’ve had playback issues before…not to mention it’s bulkier than a chromecast, and I’d still need a remote…There’s no Android or Android-TV solution that’s privacy friendly right?

Ok…I have an old chromecast that I use when I travel to connect to my jellyfin server. It’s already giving me crap in the home screen for movies and series on platforms I don’t even have. What would be a cheap and portable device I could use when I travel so I can hook to any TV?

Thanks!
