I have touched the fingerprint reader on accident with the incorrect finger when picking the device up or something because it’s on the side with the power button, but I have never had an issue where I’ve meant to unlock my device with the correct finger and used the wrong finger instead.

I have used the wrong finger on purpose in order to press the power button in order to bring up my lock screen without actually unlocking the phone to see the time or whatever, though so perhaps a 3 strikes your out rule would be best where if you hit the fingerprint reader with the wrong finger 3 times in a row it would then wipe

Let’s say my pointer finger is the registered finger for the reader. If I want to unlock my phone, I’ll just touch the fingerprint reader with my pointer finger and the phone is unlocked. If I wanted to say interact with a running media file, or check the time, I would deliberately press the power button with my middle finger, that way it registers it as a press to bring up the lock screen, but does not unlock the phone. And then, when I want into the phone next time, I would touch the fingerprint reader with my pointer finger to unlock it. If I am picking my phone up off of a table, for example, and my ring finger just happens to touch the fingerprint reader, it’s obviously not going to recognize, and then once I get the phone in my hand properly, I would use my pointer finger to unlock it.

This is why I think perhaps a three-time rule might work, where if you deliberately touch the fingerprint reader three times within a short period of time with the incorrect finger, it would initiate a wipe.

I’m thinking maybe like within 10 seconds.

Only use darkweb to visit darkweb services. As long as you’re staying in the network and not trying to exit out to the clear net, then there’s really not much that can be done.

Sure they can. Install LineageOS.

There’s a big difference between “Android” and “Google Android”.

GNOME with the orca screen reader should be at least useable

The problem for screen reader users is that the better the voice sounds, the slower you have to use it at. And screen reader users generally like reading things at high rates of speed, and so generally are more willing to put up with the lower quality voices to get the faster speed.

For something like your map application that says in 300 feet turn left onto X name of road it’s fine but for a screen reader user it’s a problem.

I haven’t looked into it recently, but the last time I did play with it, it was not very good at all.

Maybe I should look to see when the latest update was.

Edit: It hasn’t had an update in at least 10 months.

Edit 2: Looks like the GitHub might still be active though, as the last commit I see was from a month ago.

Edit 3: also appears that the github might have a newer version than FDroid does.

Oh, I’m just certain they are absolutely frightened to death. /s

Proving all this in court could give Samsung a powerful weapon moving forward. Legal experts believe the company might take sworn statements straight to the US International Trade Commission, a body with the authority to block foreign products from entering the country entirely.

Which does not help because not every country will ban them and The other manufacturers will then have less demand and therefore have to reduce their prices in order to continue selling the same amount

Edit: Doing so may slow the rate of the price decline in the US, but it will not stop it.

Oh no, I’m so terribly upset. /s

I clicked uninstall on Windows years ago.

So, target practice.

Hmmm, good point.

Might get you in the news too, like Florida man burns out meet-a-glass-wearers eyeballs with high-powered laser.

Might make others think twice about it.

Good for the Monero miner.

They can earn some money off of idiots.

Get yourself a very powerful pocket laser, and if somebody is wearing one of these, shine it directly into their eyeballs.

There are consequences for being a glasshole.

Meshcore is a step up from Meshtastic for people who actually want to use it for true communications and Reticulum is the next level above even that, but the user experience could definitely use some work first.

I completely agree with this, and the next phone I purchase, I’m going to make sure it’s capable of running post-market OS before purchase.

I’m willing to put up with the inconvenience to help push Linux phone adoption forward.

I think there might be a signal fork similar to how Mali operates that would let you use it on a Linux phone but I’ve only heard about it in passing and so I don’t know the name of it but you might want to take a look

That’s something I will need to look into as well when I eventually make the switch.

If nothing else, you can use WayDroid until you get the apps you need. I understand that it’s still using Android as a crutch, but at least the base system would be Linux.

Yes, it does

I think they will eventually do it. Or they will make a new system and not have it be open source. And leave AOSP to languish. And this is why my next device is going to be a device that supports post-market OS.

I’m going to make sure of that before I buy it, because even if it’s difficult, it will be worth the switch.
