    I’m sure that is a good price for the soundbar, but speaking for myself it’s too big, I don’t have the space for it, as I imagine many others do too. It isn’t too cheap either, imo.

    But that is really not the point. Not everyone is a giant movie geek, they just want to be able to understand what is being said.



  • Ich bin sehr zufrieden mit meinem Pixel 4a mit LineageOS.

    Ich hab den LineageOS build vom microG Projekt genommen, da das die wichtigen play services für die Banking Apps, etc spooft. Blöd ist nur, dass viele dann noch Safety Net abchecken - also hab ich das Handy dann noch gerootet und einen Spoofer dafür eingerichtet.

    Also die Route ist nur was für Tüftler, wenn ich ehrlich bin. Man muss sich auch aufschreiben was man wie installiert hat beim OS aufsetzen, weil die Android-Versions Upgrades macht nicht die Updater App (minor Upgeades gehen darüber schon), die muss man selber wieder flashen, und wenns nicht genau so passiert wie bei der erst-installation kanns sein, dass dein Handy auf Werkseinstellungen zurück gesetzt ist.

    Wenn ich jetzt ein neues Handy anschaffen würde, dann eines der neueren Pixel Geräte und GrapheneOS, das ist sicherer und ein smootherer Ride als Lineage.


  • No, there is no reason really afaik. Firmware updates can be installed with the desktop software, but they can also be installed either OTA or by dropping the update file onto the sdcard. The Kobo devices are really easy to hack, but I have heard that newer ones come with secure boot.

    I only ever tried adding custom software onto their devices, like KOReader and Syncthing, I never switched out the whole OS.

    I’ve had and modded both the Kobo Clara and Kobo Clara Colour and never used their desktop software or even created an account to log in on the device.
















  • Hmm. The first section about cloud service providers is a bit weird to me. There are providers which “keep my best interests in mind” as part of their business model, backblaze would be one. Their whole idea is to provide a good backup services. Encrypting my data before transit also doesn’t make me worried that it will be accessed by them or any of their employees because they will only get some garbled mess.

    Compare that to google, another cloud service provider. Their business model is to make money by selling me ads (foremost), they do that by gathering as much data as possible. Here all my answers would be negative.

    This puts me in an awkward spot where I nearly every time answer with “Neither agree nor disagree”, because there is more to it and not because I don’t have an opinion.
