I’ve been happy with AirVPN for the last year or so

They’re different projects with different goals. Graphene is more private & secure if that’s the thing that matters to you. Lineage supports far more devices

You shouldn’t be vulnerable to this

I’ll definitely give them a look once I’ve finished moving! I’d given Orpheus a look a couple months ago, but was hesitant to jump through all the hoops without knowing if there was actually any content on the other end.

You won’t be able to port forward without a vpn that supports it which will severely limit download speeds. Might be worth a shot if you have a vpn though

That would be why then! Any recommendations for music trackers to look at?

I ran into issues with availability on Lidarr. Maybe I just didn’t have the right trackers but it almost never pulled complete discography.

I could see it being useful for restaurant reservations or similar for some people. But for normal phone calls i’d hate this so much

Kinda interesting, but I don’t think this is the right community for it

HWID got fixed like yesterday, did it break again?

—-I haven’t used windows in a while, but for curiosity’s sake what are the best ways for registering windows now?—-

edit: i’m bad at reading, muses the relevant line

Seeing the “natha” username is so vindicating. I thought I had typed my name wrong for so long

Private trackers often have rules requiring seeding that keeps all/most of the torrents with a healthier seeding pool.

So faster downloads and less dead torrents. Sometimes greater variety

I’ve had good luck with overtakefans in the past, both for live broadcasts and archives. It’s been a minute since I’ve watched F1 but I remember them being really solid

Here’s Empress’s NFO mentioned in the above NFO https://i.ibb.co/thSxL8s/Judgment-EMPRESS.png

No clue, all I know is imported phones don’t always work, it varies from carrier to carrier, and the only way to check is with the IMEI

Short answer yes.

The longer answer has to deal with the way that our cellular networks are set up. Most people “rent to own” their phones here and usually trade in their phone long before they get to the owning part.

Contracts are set up so you can get discounts, but only if you stay with the carrier for 2-3 years. The discounts are given as monthly credit towards your bill and if you pay off the phone early you forfeit all future credit.

This system allows for carriers to sell more expensive phones at rates that, while not low, most people will stomach. Phone manufacturers avoid selling good budget phones here and I think that’s a big part of the reason. Why sell a budget phone when you can probably convince someone to finance a flagship?

Now, as an enthusiast aware of other budget phones you might think importing might be an option, but that unfortunately isn’t the case. A couple years ago all the carriers here switched off using the 3G network for phone calls and instead we use Voice Over LTE (VoLTE). This new system requires cellular carriers to explicitly support phones/models for them to be able to make traditional phone calls. These support lists are not public and make it incredibly difficult to tell if a phone not sold by the carrier will function on their network. Gone are the days were you can just check the bands the phone supports and pop in a sim.

This got a bit long and probably was more me ranting than actually explaining anything, but I hope someone finds it at least a little bit informative

I don’t think I could daily drive this but it looks really neat! It gives a futuristic windows xp kinda vibe

If you’re using the lemmy website, you should only see crossposted posts once in your feed. App support varies IIRC

I was going to make a comment about it not being glued in, but it turns out even as far back as the iPhone 6 you had to use head pads to release the adhesive
