I think we’re looking up at a drinks dispenser, one where you push your cup against the metal thing to start filling.

True, but that just means no more contactless. They don’t entirely block you out of the app afaik, like many other foreign banks I’ve seen do.
McDonald’s was just an example, the point is most apps don’t need to do that at all.
I do happen to know how payment systems like that work, and thankfully those are all cloud-based, the only thing the app does is start transactions and check with the server if they’re paid. If they implemented it well, as I suspect a big corpo like McDonald’s probably would, their own order screen also checks server-side if orders are paid. Not much you can do from the app side to mess with that.
Oh I don’t know if mcdonald’s specifically does this, I’ve never used the app, I just used it as an example because that’s what the guy above was talking about as well.
Fortunately so far I haven’t come across a bank here in the Netherlands that wouldn’t work because my phone was rooted or because I’m running grapheneos. Hope it stays that way too.
It’s the same system, it’s all part of play integrity. And that also applies to this bullshit, why does McDonald’s care if I didn’t install their app from the play store?
Not a single app on my phone was installed through Google Play, it’s all Aurora. Guess if apps really do this i’ll just have to stop using them, cause I’m not installing the play store.
Ngl i think I’d prefer just entering a password once manually over Google doing some magic bullshit to make it work across devides.
I usually put them in /media, so my games drive for example lives in /media/games.
Seems to mostly fit with the usual external media that gets mounted there.
You can also hover over the title to see the full thing. But this also got annoying since they start playing the video when you hover, so sometimes when you take too long it’ll mark the video as played. I honestly hate that hover play feature, who actually wants to watch a video from the start in that tiny ass window? The thing where they’d show some stills from several points in the video was much better imo.
I mean, if it’s just cosmetic, you really didn’t have to do anything, you chose to do that.
Yeah, I feel like most of the updates lately have been pretty boring. The last “big” change was material 3 I think, but even that was just some visual changes.
They still have the dessert names, they just don’t use them in their marketing. This one is called vanilla ice cream, android 14 was upside down cake or something iirc, 13 was tiramisu.
10-12 don’t seem to have dessert names for some reason though. Those were just q, r, and s.
The only one i still have issues with is going from xbox to nintendo controllers, because they use the same abxy face buttons, but they switched them around.
I like what switch games do when you’re using a single joy-con, they just show a button with an arrow pointing to which direction the button is, so what’s printed on the button doesn’t matter at all.
I think the gyro and layout of the switch pro controller are good, but it just feels so cheap, and the buttons are way too mushy. Also doesn’t have analogue triggers. The d-pad is pretty terrible as well.
Overall not a great controller imo.
Nice! iirc the wayland nvidia crashing issues should be fixed in this release
Oh yeah, totally forgot about that project! Hmm well might have to start over again then :)
Are you downloading from several mirrors at the same time? In that case it could be faster because the individual mirrors have a lower bandwidth than you have.
Wonder if google would do something like this, but I would guess they download everything from the same server local to you, so I don’t think it should have any effect really.
Afaik that only applies if the app is processing payments, which in this case it shouldnt be.
