All of that should be blockable. They will never do it but it’s fucking dumb any of that shit was ever acceptable.

Autostart as an option is good.

Not being able to block apps from autostarting is unacceptable.

Looking at you android, fuck right off with that shit.

Play protect will remove things that google doesn’t like, not malware.

Working at a phone retail place, I have never seen malware not from the Play store. There is fuckloads of malware on the Play store. Most of it faking Google’s own apps which you’d think they would care about, but they don’t. All of that walks straight through play protect and in some cases on Samsung phones will abuse their security features to not let you remove it easily.

Fake apps that replace your home screen, display ads every 5 seconds, and close any app that you’re in are rampant on the Play store and play protect will do nothing about it.

I’ve had green screens show up on Bazzite while restarting or if steam crashes(rare). All amd system as well.

The fathers of Elon Musk, Mark Zuckerberg, and Jeff Bezos.

Erasing the existence of anyone would have to be done in the past so that shouldnt be an issue.

Turmp

Lol incoming defamation lawsuit here.

They couldn’t convince chatgpt it was needed so it never got put in. Now it’s too late to include enough conext so its “impossible”

Kinda inevitable when you keep throwing all that crap up there.

Pin media player is the setting name to search for.

Settings -> Sound and vibration -> Media -> Pin media player

Maybe theres a way to fix it but it just sucks ass so I turned it off.

Edit: at least on Pixel 10 with Android 16 Samsung probably smashed it into somewhere else

Holy shit toshiba hard drives are fucking awful, and floppies are still not hard to read today.

I swear it’s half the reason people are mad at Synology. There is no way to buy a “Synology” drive without the chance of getting a Toshiba drive, just return and reorder until you get decent drives.

That’s just untrue though, onedrive doesn’t work like that. I’m not saying Microsoft doesnt steal data either, but onedrive isn’t required for that. In fact it can suck so hard it won’t sync shit while running.

Defender can literally submit anything it wants to Microsoft by default and doesn’t hide it.

I can fully encrypt my PC/BIOS password/secureboot if I have Linux on it. If I relock my bootloader with Android then I’m completely fucked if anything goes sideways. If I leave it open the phone gives a fucking warning on boot that the phone is unlocked and may be insecure and that warning can’t be disabled or locked. (Pixels)

I hope Android gets taken away from Google, 11 was the last somewhat useful upgrade.

Ya but I’m not installing that on other people’s computers. Also its more than needed for notepad things.

Holy shit is notepad just fucking ruined.

I don’t need any of that shit I just need to view a short log or something on someone elses computer. Now it cant do that without auto saving and reopening shit.

Nobody is writing a document anyone cares about with notepad just fucking leave it.

Tell that to Ross Ulbricht, he used his personal gmail account for shit with silk road.

Plenty of people just know enough to get what they want done.

Is it that or shitting his pants?

Like that one dentist that doesn’t agree toothbrushes are good or whatever.

The only plan I would believe he has is shitting himself and saying it was on purpose.

That guy has fuck all rattling around up there that why he preys on kids.

Modded apps and extensions. Revanced, Smarttubenext, shortsblock, etc.

I’m switching from Google now because the results have become unusably bad. They should’ve waited until bard was at least mildly useful.

Blacklisting sites from Google isn’t enough to keep it usable anymore.
