Pi-hole (or my preference Adguard Home) is great for devices connected to your home network. For your phone, go with Blokada (free) or Adguard (iOS, Android, paid - see Stacksocial for occasional license deals) - that’ll cover you at home and out of home.
If lossless and sound quality matter enough, use a portable dac with wired headphones. Otherwise, accept the compromises of using Bluetooth.
Their title says “flat display”, yet further down the article, they write:
… the display is almost flat. The glass panel has a very subtle curve on the side edges (possibly from 2.5D curved glass)…
So, not flat then.
Fuck curved edges on Samsung phones, they’re an arse for screen protector edges wanting to lift up when that wind blows the wrong way.
Yep, all up to date. UBO gives me the option to proceed (= show) the dodgy ads. Maybe something to do with my settings that it doesn’t block those outright. It’s a useful option for when I’m using cashback sites that I can temporarily grant tracking links.
Not quite a screen shot, but the text:
uBlock Origin has prevented the following page from loading:
Because of the following filter:
/click.php?key=*&zone_id=$document Found in:
uBlock filters – Badware risks
The warnings pop up and hitting proceed shows scammy fake virus scans and such. To make it clear, it’s not luckypatchers itself, but the dodgy full screen ads on load.
Hopefully you’re right that it’s AB testing, though not sure how they’d gauge your approval/disapproval of colour scheme.
Going back to what I said earlier after further use - better contrast for the suggested route in daytime navigation, however, the nighttime colour scheme has worse contrast than before.
Ublock Origin kicks up repeated warnings for this.
Adguard lifetime licence - install adguard on your phone, done.
Or just configure your phone’s DNS setting to use adguard DNS, or other free adblocking DNS.
When navigating, there’s now better contrast for the route.
I used to use Waze, but got tired of it sending me through back streets and turns to save only a minute - problem was, those slower back streets and waiting at junctions ended up taking longer.
Google Maps on the other hand will offer more sane routes, and only send me down back streets where the saving is more than say 4 or 5minutes.
Also, Waze made my phone HOT!
Haha, I remember that unfortunate domain name! That said, some of the old respectable domains did become ad-ridden malware pushers - download, sourceforce, tucows .com for example.
My misunderstanding! I thought they meant apkmirror was dodgy. I agree, that whatever.online domain is sketchy.
They’ve been around for years and well respected.
Why not stay with your existing hosts? Does the latency make that much difference for your use?
People on the internet downvoting without fact checking first - business as usual then!
Other countries are available:

a persistent notification is no longer required. A key icon in the status bar is the only indication you get that the VPN is enabled
You still get the key icon. Is the fuss that it now takes more screen taps to reach the on/off, rather than just using the persistent notification?
Libre Cloud’s head office is a unit on an industrial estate: 82A James Carter Rd, https://maps.app.goo.gl/nu75EEHEDFbY5PMW9 (Update: it’s a virtual office address, which doesn’t really inspire confidence for me)
They probably colocate at data centres.
Personally, I’m on Hetzner’s Storage Share (Nextcloud but without Collabora), and I’d prefer to trust my data to them: https://www.hetzner.com/storage/storage-share/
Regardless of your choice, I definitely agree that nextcloud rocks.
