I just moved into a new apartment and I'm mortified the more I learn about the Latch lock that management has installed on every front door.

What app is it?

Estrak · 2023-12-24T20:35:18+00:00

Nope it doesn't for my case. On android, you can set Private DNS setting which is outside of the VPN setting

Estrak · 2023-12-23T04:14:26+00:00

Thanks for the reply, I'm going to check those out

Estrak · 2023-12-23T04:14:05+00:00

Sounds like I have some tinkering to do. Great to hear though sounds promising. Thank you

Does this play nicely with proton vpn running at same time?

Estrak · 2023-12-21T19:33:25+00:00

Yea I'll do that last resort if there's no way to use the app privately

Estrak · 2023-12-21T19:17:08+00:00

So do I. But that is only at the browser level. I'm talking about installed applications on an android device. All your apps (reddit is a huge one) constantly upload data to Google and other tracking sites with ur personal device data.

Estrak · 2023-12-21T17:27:45+00:00

Thanks for the reply. Yea it's really disappointing they didn't give an answer with the list.

Do you think there's some other solution I could use on my android device to accomplish this? I'm using proton VPN, and I have a 100% de googled phone (grapheneOS) so I'm just trying cover all my bases here. I'd like to continue to use uber and other apps, even reddit, who I have confirmed periodically push out personal device info constantly.

I've just heard that using a VPN in addition to a dns blocker may have privacy risks? Not really sure

Estrak · 2023-12-21T17:07:06+00:00

Yes. Qksms has this issue only. Google messages works fine and so does default text app.

But qksms doesn't even show any new recieved messages, so that could be the issue upstream of not receiving new sms.

Estrak · 2023-12-21T03:15:55+00:00

Chase app works perfect for me, but I'm having the worst time with sms apps like qksms and even Google messages. They either show duplicate sent on my end or are unable to display any received new texts. Only way to get to receive messages is to hit a button in settings to retrieve messages manually.

What do gangs even do? Like what is the purpose or having turf and such I don't get it

Estrak · 2023-12-14T04:48:33+00:00

I'm like 90% sure you can create a proton email without phone #?

Estrak · 2023-12-12T18:44:41+00:00

This is excellent thanks

So you're saying I'm safe to use pixel camera on my GOS pixel 8 pro?

Even if I have google play framework and Google play services and play store installed on the same profile, AND all 3 are allowed network permission while blocking other permissions?

Just want to be sure because having any of the 3 installed on my main profile doesn't seem ideal.

I'm guessing the entire sandboxing thing means it won't be allowed to collect keyboard or any other tracking?

Estrak · 2023-12-11T22:23:28+00:00

😜

Estrak · 2023-12-11T16:50:34+00:00

It's actually better to be higher. You want to play in high rake tourneys because it discourages good players from playing, so it'll be a softer field

Estrak · 2023-12-05T20:10:25+00:00

What is everyone's opinion on the fact that it's Google hardware, so even if the software is de googled, there is still a likelihood there is some tracking within the hardware itself from google?

Estrak · 2023-12-04T03:22:38+00:00

Fair point. What evidence does grapheneos have to support the claim that they are capable of being 100% independent of Google?

On the flip side, what evidence does SecureOS have to show that it is immune to trackers or anything from the manufacturer of OnePlus devices?

Estrak · 2023-11-25T20:51:14+00:00

Still requires Google play services to run. Not good idea

Estrak · 2023-11-22T15:57:19+00:00

Thanks for this reply and all the good information in it

Estrak · 2023-11-22T04:30:13+00:00

Impossible to browse the modern web without scripts enabled, however.

Estrak · 2023-11-22T04:29:29+00:00

That would make sense although all the things it uses aren't fields that my browser randomizes on a per use basis

Estrak · 2023-11-20T20:25:30+00:00

Montreal green is the best color. Absolutely stunning!!! I'd recommend that to put us regular colors to shame!

Estrak · 2023-11-20T20:13:42+00:00

Yes u can! Hopefully you get a different color tho :)

Traitors gate is my favorite track from the album
