It's not a setting, it's a permission. Android will just not allow an app to connect to the internet if it doesn't have that permission.

On regular Android you can't disable this one though, but on GrapheneOS for example you can.

Or you can just use a different, less biased search engine.

Nice! With both Bancamp and 7digital being sold to some licensing company, apparently the same one even, I've been looking for a new place to get my digital music. Hope this works out for them!

I watched the running man with some friends last weekend. I'd say it's a solid meh. It's the first time I've actually seen Schwarzenegger in a movie, and I gotta say, I don't understand why he's so popular. He's a pretty terrible actor.

It says they support payments with the device, but if it doesn't run android, so also no google wallet, did they actually develop their own payments platform?

There's also web push. You can send push notifications straight to someone's browser, no need for a dedicated app anymore. Not sure if patreon has implemented this, but they could if they wanted to.

Streaming is still cheaper than cable

That really depends on where you live. With my current provider here in the Netherlands, I would be paying 12.50 euros extra for TV.

Netflix standard is already more expensive than that at 13.99.

I was curious if mistral is actually smart enough to complete that, but it keeps giving me blkid even though I told it, and it repeated back to me, that blk is the suffix, not the prefix.

Edit: now it thinks it's an abbreviation for blockdev, which is closer, but also wrong got there eventually by asking it all unix commands that end with blk.

The product images do include an ALICE layout model, I guess they just used blank shift keys? hmm maybe i can use it

I haven't used them, but wouldn't those be way heavier than PBT keycaps? I'd imagine they would actually affect the actuation force, but I wonder if it's enough to be noticeable.

They look pretty nice, but looks like they don't include a split spacebar, so not for me unfortunately.

So what's the best android tv box nowadays? Still the Shield TV?

I have the latest chromecast with android tv (i think, who knows with these garbage model names), and it's always been quite sluggish to use, and I can't replace the home screen on it to one without ads since they locked down the bootloader.

So I'm looking for one that's a bit snappier, and preferably with an unlockable bootloader, or at least the ability to replace the default launcher.

hmm that's weird.

i was wondering what's up with that, so i took a look at the source code of aurora, and it seems they don't even call the requireUserAction thing that's supposed to disable the prompt. As far as I can tell it should just always require the prompt the way the app is built now. Wonder why it doesn't do it for me then.
