I actually spent time on ripping the ‘you wouldn’t steal…’ video from the first DVD that I had with it on it, just for the sheer irony. 😅

I just love this meme-template… 😅

True.

First off, my apologies for the tone of my first post. I am cyclothimic and sometimes (in bad moments) shouldn’t be on social media. Hard to draw that line sometimes, though.

Secondly, in a more positive manner and admitting my error in comparing native in Android to the Play Store: I had this message popup on a full phone in the Play Store if I wanted to enable it. It is now also in my Play Store settings underneath “Google Play Feedback”.

I have Play Store v39.4.23-21 [O] [PR] 599960585

It also only sometimes does Archiving, but not often. Usually it’ll just still pop-up the uninstall-other-apps popup as usual.

Uhm. Newsflash. My Vanilla Android 9.1.0’s vanilla Play Store already does… 🙄

Edit: Apologies for the tone above. I deserve the downvotes. 😅

I’d be looking up otherplaces if given the chance… 😅

…and a stranger.

I am this stranger. 😅

I actually assumed there was a new asian band called Chinese Persons Unlimited or something… 😅

I just use *.loc.al as a local dns entry in my own server with local addresses using devicename.loc.al and loc.al itself going to my gateway/routerpage. 😅

There’s a button to exit vim on your pc. Just hold it 7 seconds and vim is closed. 😅

Yet if I enter something like ‘resolv’ in Google I need to add ‘-resolve’ to not get hundreds of unrelated results… Same goes for any not-too-popular software that is named a slight misspelling of their purpose… I even find it ridiculous how often first results litterally say underneath they did not contain your query…

But with terabox and “content plaza” it gives 2 results?

Startpage I have no idea, but I’m guessing they, like many, use the Google API for webcrawler results… 1 result? Those are pretty common words,…

Torrents, modded apk’s,…

Check out my results for some chinese download service called “Content Plaza” for example:

Google:

Yandex:

Like, 2? On the ‘entire’ internet? 2? Right…

I’ve always used Veracrypt since I discovered its existence.

Nice inconspicuous encrypted loop-files you can mount manually when needed (or automount at boot, but that already makes them a lot less safe) and backup to any cloud safely, as without the password they are useless.

Yeah, as said in another comment too: That’s very likely VLC’s post-processing. It doesn’t look bad on your Kodi, VLC just enhances it as it plays while Kodi actually just shows you the real quality. 😅

I use Kodi too as part of a whole automation setup (so I can use it like a free Netflix that only adds anything I watch while I only need to add filters once per series) and I have gotten used to it now as it doesn’t bother me anymore, but in the beginning I do remember noticing it more too, thus having to make that hard choice for the ease of automation over post-processing. 😅

Kodi is worth it on my Android box, though, as VLC’s magic doesn’t seem to be so effective on Android(TV)… 😜

You’d be surprised… 😂

Here’s a little hack if you do have to use youtube:

Every ad: you swipe down, close video, restart,… After a couple of times doing that, the abuse-filter kicks in and it will just show you the video. If you keep doing that a while, ads just stop for a while as it thinks it’s being abused. 😅

Probably will stop working one day too, but still works for me today.

Add 2 more full versions and it might crash your towers. 😅

Hehe, yeah, even their God’s were recycled Greek ones.

Humans…

Can agree over a universal charging cable, but not over simple math rules…
