You don’t, there’s privacy respecting ways of delivering notifications in android.

Also, a 24/7 connection to a server isn’t nearly as bad as you might think.

The connection isn’t active the whole time, it only uses any significant amount of battery if there’s actually data being sent or received. You likely already have quite a few of them anyway, how do you think systems normally listen for push notifications?

Besides all that, I read in other comments that the privacy issue was the device id firebase needs. Obviously apple also needs some kind of device id, otherwise how do they know where the notifications are going?

Did some searching, yup apple also needs a unique identifier:

When it’s time to send a notification, you generate a request that contains the notification data and a unique identifier for the user’s device.

From https://developer.apple.com/documentation/usernotifications/setting-up-a-remote-notification-server

That doesn’t have anything to do with how you install the app.

And in the product details they list it has 3 features, also not mentioning what they are

And there’s the chance of getting my glasses smudged, because of course I’m too lazy to take those off beforehand.

What kind of hoodies are you buying? I can fit a DS in my ass pocket ffs

You could probably do it with http if the server properly supports the content range headers.

Pretty sure both windows and macos allow programs to interrupt shutdown, usually if there’s any unsaved documents open. I quite like that feature actually, if it’s used correctly anyway.

uh, no? on smartphones, yes, but not on computers.

That’s not true. Most operating systems at least have filesystem permissions, and on a lot of Linux distros you additionally get AppArmor or PolKit to further restrict what files a program can read/write.

Iirc that was because apple was just a generic term for fruit at the time, not any specific type.

I have never had a suspicious transaction, because the way payments work here (NL) they always need to be authorised, and recurring payments require a different authorisation that you can of course always cancel. You can’t just take money by knowing the card number and cvv (which we also don’t have (yet)).

Well to be fair, on my pixel at least, those are literally the same setting. Which it actually is just depends on if you’re currently on WiFi or not. Kinda Google’s fault for labelling it like that.

Actually I think I remember watching a technology connections video about how card in the US can use the headlights as a turn signal, or something like that. I don’t think that’s allowed in Europe or the EU or whatever.

Found it https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O1lZ9n2bxWA

I’m pretty sure most cars have a turn signal near the headlights, and one on the mirror or on the side for that use case, no?

Sure, but I’m not paying for every byte sent overy network, while I am paying for every kWh I use.

That’s all beside the point though, this is just a fun diy project so who cares really.

That’s the one. I dong get any insights either, but iirc it did stop my emails from automatically going to spam. It’s been a while though, and I remember trying a whole bunch of different things, but I believe that’s what eventually fixed it.

Though now that I think about it, I did have to register my domain with Google in some way to stop being flagged as spam iirc.

I also self hosted for years (using tuta mail with my own domain now), and have never had issues with my deliverability either.

In the Netherlands there’s a few ISPs offering 4Gb and one even 8Gb iirc. Personally can’t really think of a use case for that though.

You’re absolutely right, Nvidia used to be a nightmare on Linux. Not just unstable bad, often times just unuseably bad for me. Even the closed drivers are a lot better nowadays though, but I think older Nvidia support is still not great.

I’ve also been using Linux for over a decade at this point, but only switched to it as my main gaming machine fairly recently. I always had issues with stupid Nvidia bullshit before, until finally I found Bazzite which was working great even in the period when Nvidia drivers were still a bit unstable, especially on wayland. Honestly I’m not even sure why I still got an Nvidia gpu last time.

I’m not sure how it could really qualify for an antitrust lawsuit

This would sound to me like they’d somehow unlock more performance with their own gpu than is available for other brands, so they’re giving their own hardware an unfair advantage.

But thinking about it a bit more now, I realise that could probably be prevented by trademarking or patenting the technology they use to do that or something.

Good for you. I tried only a few months ago, couldn’t get it to run well.

It’s not the hardware ('s capabilities, could still be Nvidia-related), seeing as the same hardware runs VR just fine on Windows.

Unfortunately I am still stuck with an Nivdia GPU until I can justify spending that kinda money on an AMD one. But even so, the Nvidia drivers have been working really well for me ever since the time around explicit sync got merged (or something like that, don’t remember exactly). It’s just VR that doesn’t perform well.

Also… AMD CPUs and GPUs synergize and perform better when paired with each other, then pairing an Nvidia GPU with an AMD CPU, or Intel CPU with AMD GPU.

Do you have a source for that? Cause that sounds like a stretch, and if it were true, I’d imagine would result in an antitrust lawsuit.
