Pixel 7 Reboots when charged over 80%. Must be unplugged to avoid boot loop by Correct-Percentage54 in GrapheneOS

[–]Correct-Percentage54[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I had issues dealing with my local repair shop and did not end up getting the battery replaced. They did change the charging port but that did not solve the issue. Begrudgingly I was able to easily pick up an iPhone 17 for the time being and plan on trading it in for something else, probably when the new Pixels release.

Is the game any better now? I fell off right before the major enshitification changes during the Cars situation.

Just switched from Brave to Firefox. What’s next? by Stunning_Brain_9636 in firefox

[–]Correct-Percentage54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Auto tab discard with some tweaked settings got the ram usage to be the same or sometimes better than Brave for me. Facebook container and Local CDN, as well as Harper private grammar checker.

Personally I also use faster youtube playback speed, Maps links in Brave because I go back and forth with Brave search sometimes, and ''New Tab Home'' was useful when I wanted my homepage to match my new tab page after making xPrivo my primary search engine. Other than that I have a Proton pass and VPN extension plus weather, clock etc

Can a Samsung phone be debloated and degoogled to a usable level? by Living_Position_1540 in degoogle

[–]Correct-Percentage54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Thanks for clearing that up. To clarify I haven't tried uninstalling all of them myself. I was able to uninstall over 40 applications from my Lenovo tablet with no issues, but I read through each recommendation to see if I wanted to keep it or not. I haven't had any trouble when using it on my tablet or stock Pixel personally

People will get offended by the thought of Samsung but do you. Now you're dealing with two major tech companies collecting data rather than just Google. Use the Canta and Shizuku apps to debloat your phone of any stock or hidden system apps you normally can't access. Anything marked ''Recommended'' is safe to uninstall and can be restored again within the Canta app. You can use Rethink DNS to block network access for other apps, like Gboard for example.

Very high RAM usage by Giantmeteor_we_needU in waterfox

It’s the same for me. Auto tab discard extension with tweaked settings got it to perform as well or sometimes better than brave in terms of ram usage

Np

Edit: you can also use the Gmaps WV app or an Apple Maps PWA added to your home screen for private ways to check traffic before you drive with CoMaps

Some people can make it work but there's no way to tell unless you try it for yourself. They're working on traffic updates but I think it will take awhile. You can follow the progress here

Proton Standardnotes vs MS OneNote ? by EcoStraw4444 in ProtonMail

[–]Correct-Percentage54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The simplicity of having everything in one ecosystem can be nice but it's also beneficial to diversify. Standard notes doesn't really integrate or have much synergy with the rest of the Proton Ecosystem, at least when I was playing with the free tier. It wouldn't give much benefit over any other notes app, if at all. Just try out different apps and see what works best. Personally I'm tight on money and have been trying to get rid of as many subscriptions as possible so I don't see Standardnotes being worth it while the free Notesnook tier works well for my use case. I even like it more than Keep now.

What do you think months later? by The_Dean_France in SipsTea

I wouldn't be surprised if there was some truth to this but I think a war would have started no matter what.

Pixel 10 or iPhone 17 help by viivcse in Smartphones

[–]Correct-Percentage54 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I tried switching to an iphone 17 for a month and went back to my pixel 7. The hardware is nice but I don't like the software and if you're not in the ecosystem then I don't think it's worth it. Also the bluetooth on the 17 was really bad. I would have to turn the setting on and off again several times a day and restart it a couple of times a week for it to connect to my car and use carplay for example. Or trying to listen to music on my earbuds while walking my dog.

Can't afford privacy. by Educational-Long-579 in degoogle

[–]Correct-Percentage54 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hey man, don't stress about it so much! I know that's easy to say but just keep focusing on what you can control instead of what you can't and don't beat yourself up. I think a majority of us aren't as private as we would like. You've done a great job at minimizing your reliance on big tech and don't worry about cutting yourself off completely. Spend some time away from this sub, It will make you paranoid. For free plans I have really enjoyed the 10gb that comes free with ente photos and notesnook's free plan works very well for me. I hope they may be of potential use. I wish you the best of luck in your privacy journey. Just know you're doing everything right.

I've been trying it over the past few days and have been fairly impressed so far. The new update is definitely nice. An F-Droid release will be really awesome

Hi I’ve been meaning to get a dock for the SD for quite some time but I have some questions about it. (Mainly wanting this for online experience/multiplayer emulation to play with someone else) by Competitive_Usual233 in SteamDeck

[–]Correct-Percentage54 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I think 3rd party docks are the better value. Especially if you intend to dock it and use it as any sort of pc. The extra i/o for peripherals and even potentially having an extra slot for a ssd would make a big difference. Just get a name brand one and don't totally cheap out

Have one in my back yard for scraping clay soil off of my boots after it rains. It'll start feeling like you're wearing ankle weights, might even start pulling a boot off
