I'm looking for a decent CHEAP Android tablet. Are the Amazon Fire tablets decent? I know that Fire OS is a fork of Android, but is it just full of Amazon ads and stuff?

Basically I'd like ot find a 10 inch tablet with somewhere around HD resolution for around $100.

Any suggestions?

I'm really enjoying app on my phone. It have been the smoothest SMTP/IMAP experience I've had on any operating system. Even Thunderbird is not as smooth and as customizable. I've been actively using it for some months now, and frankly, I'm impressed. The UI design takes few hours to get used to, but after that and with some personalization, it would look as trivial as an email client can get.

It is (GPLv3) btw:

I've spent most of my setup time de-Googling the device. Actually very time consuming.

I haven't decided yet whether I should also de-Samsung the 'phone.

The Echo Show 8 is a "smart display" which can show photos you took. Neat, huh?

La regex en question :

(33)?(162|163|270|271|377|378|424|425|568|569|948|949).*

Bon j'imagine que plein de malandrins ne respectent pas les règles et utilisent un numéro quelconque, mais ça fait un premier filtrage.

After the "original" BlackBerrys (pre-Android), which I greatly miss for their physical keyboards and battery life, I’ve been searching for a device that’s ideal for using a terminal on the go. I’m intrigued by foldable phones but fear they might disappoint (besides being extremely expensive and often having questionable cameras).

Does anyone have experience with them and know if it’s feasible to use a terminal app (like Termux) comfortably on these devices?

This morning I’m experimenting with setting up an IPv6-only network using NAT64, leveraging the DNS from nat64.net/.

I’ve configured the Mikrotik router to distribute DNS via SLAAC, and everything works smoothly on both Mac and iPad - devices pick up their IPv6 addresses, DNS, and can browse without issues, reaching both IPv4 and IPv6 addresses. The plan is to eventually set up my own NAT64 and move the main home LANs to IPv6-only.

However, Android devices are failing. They don't "see" the IPv4 coming through DHCP and report "no connection" - tested on both a Google Pixel 7 with GrapheneOS and a Samsung Galaxy S24 Ultra.

I’ll try some manual configurations, but in theory, this should work out-of-the-box.

I've been experiencing some unusual battery drain on my Samsung S24 Ultra lately. After checking, I found that the Facebook app had been active in the background for nearly two hours (out of 10 hours since unplugging the charger). I had already set all the restrictions to prevent this app from running in the background, yet it still managed to stay active for almost two hours before I uninstalled it. I'm curious to see how the battery performs today. How did it manage to run in the background despite these settings?

Der Fokus liegt dabei nicht auf Geräteaspekten wie Akkulaufzeit oder Displayqualität, sondern auf Datenschutz und Sicherheit. Wird spannend - versprochen! 🍿 👇

Hey ,

I'm looking for a program that merges duplicate contacts in vcf or csv format.

I found vcf_contacts_merger, but it has weird python requirements that I just couldn't manage to satisfy.

Ideally either a downloadable linux app or a FOSS app (or at least a non-foss Android app that I can run with networking privileges revoked).

It can't be a google app or rely on uploading my contacts to "the cloud."

Is there a way of getting Google Play to just stop trying to manage apps that I install from other sources?

I use FFUpdater to get Firefox and other browsers. I use F-Droid for a good number of apps. I use ReVanced for ad-free versions of YouTube and Duolingo. I absolutely DO NOT WANT Google touching those apps.

Even at this point, yeah, why the hell am I using Google Play? But until I either switch phones or finally back this phone up and start over again, I'm stuck with it. But even so, I can pass this knowledge to others.

So how can it be done? How I can tell Google Play to piss off and stop trying to manage every app I have installed?

sets up for people to swap messages on. A channel can be private to a group who have the channel key, that is a URL or QR code. This can be shared to set up a private channel. In the app you can view activity in all channels you have access to. Problem is that to share the channel details one needs to have the code or URL for just that one channel. The app does not let you create a QR code / URL for only one channel of the many you are using. app does. 1/2
