I’m pretty sure they do it to fly under the radar, since mobile clients are far more dominant than smart TV applications.

And there’s also newpipe as an alternative to Vanced (or rather the other way around, I believe newpipe came earlier), and even a fork with sponsorblock integration. I personally vastly prefer them over vanced/revanced.

I’m using BubbleUPnp for screencasting.

You mean, only on Android TV. They don’t have a phone app, and explicitly stated they are not interested in developing one.

Workplace policy leading to inherent familiarity with the system.

Plus most people aren’t heavy users or particularly tech-savvy. Installing an OS from scratch is already too much to ask for most.

Nah. They don’t know Google translate. Or Google, for that matter. They know what they are supposed to know.

Of course some people know better, and those are the ones who will eventually get around the block - finding and installing a VPN is not rocket science, not even here. But if you keep 98% of the population contained, the rest won’t reach critical mass.

I’m not using Voyager (found your post by browsing /all/new) but this happened to me on the lemmy.world web frontend a couple times over the last hour, so it might have been some malfunction on their end.

It doesn’t work in China, if that’s any indication.

You might want to sign up with astrill. Greetings from China, we’ve been dealing with this shit for decades.

Comes with a built in translator and spell checker, and since access to Google translate is blocked, that’s often the only alternative.

Didn’t you post it this morning already? I swear I’ve seen the exact same content earlier.

Sure. Foreigners aren’t really sanctioned though, that’s more of a risk for the locals. But even then usually only if they want to get someone disappeared and don’t have anything substantial against them.

Worse. They think it’s useful.

Then they’ll install the Linux version. People here are so indoctrinated, they like it.

That looks nice. I’ll check it out if I have some time later; though my written Chinese is fairly limited. So far the Windows keyboard layout did just fine.

I live in China and this software is cancerous not just in the encryption failure, it also nestles into a computer like a trojan. Creates 2 fallback installations and will reinstall itself after removal if you reboot in between, unless you get rid of all 3 installations at once, where they are deliberately trying to obfuscate the uninstall button (triple confirmation, swapping the confirm/cancel buttons and button background colors, etc.).

It’s a nasty piece of crap that come preloaded on any phone (android, at least) and Windows-PC here.

Neither of which supports Chinese, so that’s useless for any actual users of Sogou.

I simply don’t like them. There’s zero use case where I would consider a foldable phone superior, or even equivalent to a regular one.

Maybe the problem is on your computer’s end. Have you tried updating adb drivers and device-specific drivers (if any)? I’ve run into some issues with old adb drivers being present on the computer I was connecting to, even if the connection shouldn’t have been going through adb in the first place. But some identifier was acting up and causing misidentification of the device.

If we want to start our own traditions, why the hell are we copying reddit yet again?
