  • Maybe you are talking about the color overlay that they add to images? This explains some of the reason. https://www.lroc.asu.edu/images/192

    Edit: just realized this was explain like I’m 5 so I can add a little excerpt.

    Not sure exactly what you mean by fake. My biggest guess will be the coloring of the images. Why are space photos always so vivid? This is because the images are color overlayed from a lot of images that are actually taken in single color themselves. Be it black or white, black and blue, etc. Once the individual images are received, they then piece them together go try and mimic the visual humans will see.

    Photos are shot in single color because they are easier to process and also much smaller in size. This makes it better for transmitting.

    I would avoid anything built into the TV.

    1. Its starting to be used for spying on you
    2. The chip they come with are usually not that good unless it’s a high end TV.
    3. They are building ads right into the TV themselves.

    I would not connect the TV to the internet and use a external media player. Either a Nvidia shield or an Apple TV is your best bet.

    You can also try building a media player yourself using a small computer.

    Note - The self made media player will be more limited in terms of apps available, unfortunately, as well as streaming quality from some of the streaming services.





  • From my experience, you have to use google services for the 2fa to work on Yubikey. You can work around this by using a TOTP and storing it on the key. There is a Yubikey app that can read the tokens that doesn’t require google services. Another approach is make a separate profile that has a google account active on it and just keep those apps there to use the Yubikey on.

    Some banking apps require extra work in their settings permissions to get them to work. Try turning off some of the extra security measures for app in the app permissions settings. See if that can get them to work.

    Messaging is going to be broken unless both parties use an internet based messenger, like signal or iMessage. SMS is very restrictive. RCS may help fix this when it launched to iOS but it seems to break on graphene. Probably the same reason banking apps break.



  • Mostly their marketing practices. They are designed well but mostly designed to keep you locked in one way or another.

    For me, their desktop is not as intuitive as people make it seem and lacks simple shortcuts that most other desktops have.

    On mobile, its the restriction of customization and options. They are getting better at customizing but still limit you on options for anything outside of their apps. They claim to be private but follow similar practices as other companies, just in a more quite way with better PR.

    Unfortunately you probably won’t find any place to really buy it anonymously. If you have some crypto already you can buy some but without it, you will have to go through some broker.

    In the US, know your customer is a big thing so you have to ID yourself before you can buy from the more legitimate companies.
