Wait what? There isn’t even a pixel tablet 2 yet, why are they talking about a third

Wait so it’s just a design choice? I mean I get they were the first but really, who really cares about stuff like that?

“The changes would put consumers’ privacy and security at risk, make it harder for developers to promote their apps, and reduce competition on devices,” Google said in a statement.

Lmao I’m pretty sure it would do the exact opposite of all of those things.

Tldr: It’s just better compression

Afaik that only applies if the app is processing payments, which in this case it shouldnt be.

True, but that just means no more contactless. They don’t entirely block you out of the app afaik, like many other foreign banks I’ve seen do.

McDonald’s was just an example, the point is most apps don’t need to do that at all.

I do happen to know how payment systems like that work, and thankfully those are all cloud-based, the only thing the app does is start transactions and check with the server if they’re paid. If they implemented it well, as I suspect a big corpo like McDonald’s probably would, their own order screen also checks server-side if orders are paid. Not much you can do from the app side to mess with that.

Oh I don’t know if mcdonald’s specifically does this, I’ve never used the app, I just used it as an example because that’s what the guy above was talking about as well.

Fortunately so far I haven’t come across a bank here in the Netherlands that wouldn’t work because my phone was rooted or because I’m running grapheneos. Hope it stays that way too.

It’s the same system, it’s all part of play integrity. And that also applies to this bullshit, why does McDonald’s care if I didn’t install their app from the play store?

Not a single app on my phone was installed through Google Play, it’s all Aurora. Guess if apps really do this i’ll just have to stop using them, cause I’m not installing the play store.

Ngl i think I’d prefer just entering a password once manually over Google doing some magic bullshit to make it work across devides.

I usually put them in /media, so my games drive for example lives in /media/games.

Seems to mostly fit with the usual external media that gets mounted there.

• TalkBack now uses Gemini
• Chrome has TTS built-in now
• Circle to search for music, seems to be just a manual way to trigger song recognition
• Earthquake alerts more coverage in the US
• Offline Google maps on smartwatch

The only one i still have issues with is going from xbox to nintendo controllers, because they use the same abxy face buttons, but they switched them around.

I like what switch games do when you’re using a single joy-con, they just show a button with an arrow pointing to which direction the button is, so what’s printed on the button doesn’t matter at all.

I think the gyro and layout of the switch pro controller are good, but it just feels so cheap, and the buttons are way too mushy. Also doesn’t have analogue triggers. The d-pad is pretty terrible as well.

Overall not a great controller imo.

Oh yeah, totally forgot about that project! Hmm well might have to start over again then :)

I also loved this game on the 3DS. I’ve recently been playing the N64 version as well, and I gotta say the 3DS version is so much better. I’m not sure what it is, but movement feels a lot less precise to me in the N64 version. I have some replays of me trying, and failing, to break a pot with my sword as adult link, like 8 times before finally hitting it.

Also, I finally understand why everyone hates the water temple. The iron boots aren’t an item in this version, so you have to go to the equipment menu every time you want to put them on/take them off.

Proton drive has a photo backup option in the app, but their gallery thing is still lacking in features. You can’t edit or crop photos, and you can’t create albums and stuff like that. It’s really just a list of photos and nothing more.
