That’s amazing but I wouldn’t be at all surprised to here that anyone who did got it reversed if not just outright banned from Google. I certainly wouldn’t have tried in on my main Google account.

Yeah when I’m driving a lot for work I could burn through that in 2 days…and not even be able to finish out the second day before I have to change to something else 😂

Another reason to make me glad I setup audiobookshelf.

Last used Linux over 10 years ago when I was in college for ITNA. It didn’t work out for me and I drive trucks for a living now lol. Computers/gaming has always been my hobby though. Decided a few weeks ago to try out Linux again on a spare computer I have. Started with EndeavorOS and broke it somehow. Went to mint for like a week and couldn’t get used to it for some reason and decided to try EndeavorOS again. Been using it for about a month now as my primary and only using the windows PC for gaming and it’s been great. Does take some tinkering and googling to get it how it want it from a fresh install though which I’ve had to do a couple times now because of hardware failures lol

My personal truck doesn’t have Android auto or Apple car play (I thought it was something I could get when I bought it but turns out I was a year early, whoops) and my work truck has it. I 100% will not be buying any car that doesn’t have it as a feature. It’s not something I need all the time because for most drives just using Bluetooth is perfectly fine but if I want to use the GPS for anything Android auto and car play are just so much better than using your phone for that. Everything is kinda frivolous to though.

Previously was an audible subscriber for years. Paused it sometimes when I didn’t know what to use credits on. A couple months ago I got an email that my credits would be expiring in a couple months if I didn’t use them… Used all 5 that day to buy the rest of a series I was slowly getting through, canceled my sub and figured out how to host it myself on audiobookshelf. Haven’t used audible since.

Went to a Walmart the other day and my phone automatically connected to a wifi that was apparently hosted by my cell carrier. Immediately turned on my VPN because wtf. I disconnected at first then realized I didn’t have any service at all which was probably why it existed. Thankfully didn’t need to log in but that’s why I have Firefox relay.

Nope. I think the drive just died at a bad time honestly. I’ve had issues with it in the passed and the computer itself came from an e-scrap pile because the water pump for the CPU cooler was dead. Has worked great since swapping that out until the nvme died. Even after installing the new nvme and reinstalling EOS I couldnt see the old nvme.

Can’t help but I just did this myself. Was a fairly fresh install so I didn’t lose anything other than have to reconfigure some stuff and install some things.

Buuuuut

What happened dto me was something crashed during the update and my computer went to a black screen. So I just left it for a bit to hopefully finish even without the display. Turned the computer off and my nvme was just gone. Ended up having to get a new one.

As someone who recently fell in love with EndeavorOS I don’t wanna fall down the cat girl pipeline…

This is actually great to hear. I’ll probably still ending up holding off until I have a spare phone to test with just because wiping my phone and redoing everything just isn’t something I’m up for right now though. Thank you very much for the info.

I e been debating switching the graphene for weeks weeks now. But I just know I’m gonna end up installing Google play services on it and completely defeat the whole point of the OS. I’m probably gonna buy the pixel 8 when it comes out so once I have that I’ll put graphene on my current phone and see how I like it.

The problem with hardware authenticators is compatibility across devices. One job I worked at a while back used Yubikeys, which were great… if you were logging in from your work PC. If you need to access your work email from your phone, that wasn’t really an option without getting an exception made to your account, which required IT doing a manual reconfig of your account. And obviously they were reluctant to do that, because that just opened up more security risks that the Yubikeys were meant to prevent.

I mean that sounds more like a money problem to me. There all multiple different types of yubi keys that work for different types of USB and lightning as well as NFC if you want that. The only reason you wouldn’t be able to use a yubikey on your phone is because you weren’t supplied with a yubi key that works with phones and only the cheapest option with a regular USB A plug.

😂 but but. She actually did. I swear!

I mean. How would I go about proving that. I’m currently just imagining the look on her face when I tell her we need to take a picture with my lemmy username in it so randoms on the internet believe I have a hot girlfriend. lol We go to the beach this weekend though. soooooo I’ll leave it up to you to remind me to do this lol

As a new Linux convert nerd with a hot girlfriend it does happen.

lol that’s generally what I do. Sometimes I’m nice enough to copy and paste. We don’t share a lot of accounts so it’s not a huge issue.

Ahhhh ok. That does make more sense.

Sadly that second but requires the other person to care enough to make an account and not just text you when they need the password 😂

The way I heard it the insurance companies lobbied for seatbelt laws.

Something about if you die in an accident the payout could be larger than if you survived.

Opposite for motorcycles and helmets. On a bike you aren’t eligible for the same death payout as someone in a car so it’s cheaper if you die.

Again this is just how I heard it and I’ve never cared enough to actually look into any of this at all but on the surface and seems plausible.
