Not open source, but I use the Google TV chromecast in "apps only" mode.

Its very minimal but you still get a single picture of whatever show is being promoted that week. No other intrusive adds have been added {yet}.

It also breaks Google Keep & Google Drive in Firefox.

OP has pixel and is in the +1 area code from the picture meaning they are in America. So I don't get why he/she is not using Google Call screen.

I still get spam calls, but my phone never rings or alerts me. The only way I find out is by occasionally opening call history. The assistant can recognize most spam automated messages and it automatically hangs up. For real spam callers; they mostly hang up when they realize they have to talk to a robot first.

I fixed that issue long ago by filling up my voicemail so no one can leave a voice message. Then have your voice mail tell people to send you a text.

You think switching your number is less complex than using call screen?

That would literally involve changing your number with most major web services you use including your bank BEFORE you get rid of your old number. Better hopr you don't forget one because your not gonna get that sms verification code to log back in.

Did you read the article?

1. Epic is not trying to get their 3rd party app in apples app store.
2. Epic can't create a 3rd party app store because Apple revoked their developer license. This means any app epic creates can't be sideloaded because it will never be signed by apple.
3. Apples new rules require any 3rd party app store to pay apple $0.50 per install (there is no million app install requirement for 3rd party app stores). So apple would still make money off epics app store if they allowed it.

Tech sites have said that Mozilla probably has their native version already done so it's ready day 1.

But these new rules by apple might put a damper on them actually offering it. Mozilla is a non profit, and apple is going to require a $0.50 tax on every app "for each first annual install per year over a 1 million threshold".

I just don't see how how Mozilla could carry that cost considering they are at over 100 million installs on Android alone.

Why is GPU encoding worse than CPU encoding?

Um no, the FBI used software developed by an Israel based company to hack into it. This is well documented. Isreal has been creating and selling iPhone hacking software to nation states for years. They also sold out to the Saudi's who used to it to track and kill the American resident Jamal Khashoggi.

Would a way to legally bypass this be an app that can "encrypt" your text before your send it. The government would be able to see all of your messages but it would be scrambled in a way that they couldn't read it.

Something where both people would install the same text scrambling app and generate the same key to scramble all text (would need to do in person). They would then type all their text into the app and it would scramble it. The user would then copy The Scrambled text and send it over any messaging platform they want. The recipient would need to copy the text and put it back into the scrambling app to descramble it.
