  • I’m pretty sure the Exynos S10/Note 10 series from 2019 was the last unlockable bootloader Samsung S you could get.

    You could try to sell it or trade it in for something that’s unlockable. Outside of Pixels, Motorola and OnePlus tend to have the most new-ish devices that run custom ROMs.

    I just found a decently priced Motorola Edge 40 Pro that I set up with LineageOS, it was stupid easy. Supposedly, it’s getting Android 16 at some point early next year.

    This has lots of documentation for recent devices and what kind of challenges you might face. https://wiki.lineageos.org/devices/

    Barring any of that, some type of debloat software is gonna be your best bet. Good luck!



  • Depending on the tablet, you might not be able to unlock the bootloader. I have a Chinese Lenovo model Y770 that’s not unlockable.

    You can always remove your google account from the tablet and install Aurora Store and f-droid to keep google from tracking what you’re using. Every step in the right direction is a step away from google.

    Using Open Street Maps, Mull, Brave, librewolf, various proton apps or whatever you prefer will let you get away from the built in google stuff.

    There’s no such thing as man sized rats.

    (That being said, I do appreciate how on the nose a lot of WH stuff is; such as the leader of the ninja assassin Clan Eshin being called Sneek lol)






  • Awesome collection. I bet they sound great on those KEFs, too. I have the Mosaic 8 CD set from 20-odd years ago, too bad vinyl wasn’t back in the zeitgeist at that juncture.

    One of my mentors used to fly up to Colorado Springs to see his son at the Air Force Base next to the airport and then go see Johnny at his music store, which I think he had since retired from running(early 90s).










  • I didn’t watch yet, but probably something to do with Hedy Lamarr. I just wanted to say “that’s HEDLEY!”. Harvey Korman’s best role, IMO.

    Kind of insane how one of the biggest film stars from the 1930’s and 40’s got access to secret Nazi technology and used it to invent the signal hopping tech that led to the creation of GPS, WiFi and Bluetooth.
