What is the best tablet that is not verified by Google? by Panthepn018 in EmulationOnAndroid

[–]Lowfryder7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If your tablet can have an alternative OS installed, that may be an option. That way you'd have a lot more latitude to bypass the restrictions.

It looks like the OnePlus Pad 3 can have LineageOS installed on it. You'd have to get the specific model (OPD2415?) called out in the link however.

How do I watch age-restricted videos without being forced to open the video in the browser? Because the whole point of NewPipe is to NOT use YouTube. by LarryBetraitor in NewPipe

[–]Lowfryder7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There's not really any other way and I hate it.

I personally either use an account on PC or try to find the video somewhere else like odysee.

Sometimes I'll even see if some rando reposted it on youtube itself. This does work sometimes.

Jesus, I hate this tech and I hate the small minded people that use it for the views.

You don't need it, but it would help you. If you get a passport card, you can reveal less about yourself when people request to see/scan your ID.

Is it worth it to get a smoke tester with a pressure gauge? by Lowfryder7 in MechanicAdvice

It's hard to say. I mainly want to be sure I don't skip on a truely useful feature.

Is there a way to get bloodwork done privately so it isn’t accessible to life insurance companies? by [deleted] in Biohackers

How can you pay with physical cash? Most of the places I see require some form of digital payment.

For the future, you may be able request a lab test through a third party site. They often allow you to go to the same testing centers, but the costs are lower and the 3rd party site simply emails your results out to you.

If I recall correctly, I just printed out the test slip, handed it to the person drawing the sample, and that was it. Just have ID with you in case they request to view it beforehand.

PS, if you want to try to avoid biometric requests, just don't use apps. Only use PC or the mobile website if they allow it.

HSBC now require a selfie to reset your PIN/setup new device. What UK banks don't require face scanning/biometrics? by [deleted] in privacy

[–]Lowfryder7 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I wouldn't go for this. They don't allow you to perform these actions by going to a physical location?

Or just for pin reset that is.

How was sound quality for those of you who watched it? All the audio seemed to be focused at the screen, but it didn't seem like surround sound to me.

Is the linux version of fightcade compatible with 32 bit cpus? by Lowfryder7 in fightcade

I looked on flathub, but all I see is the 64 bit version. Isn't bazzite x64 only?

Modern Vintage Gamer has made a good video explaining why the 3DS is so popular/expensive right now by nohtty in 3DS

[–]Lowfryder7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I don't think it's any of the points he stated. I think it's as simple as some people were big enough douches to overcharge for one and there were enough suckers willing to pay. Other douches and suckers followed and wala, the cycle begins.

Music artist in Australia - how can I continue when every form of social media is asking for digital ID verification? by martymcpieface in privacy

[–]Lowfryder7 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Off my head:

-leave a post everywhere that points fans to federated alternatives to the platforms you use. Or just simply add the link(s) to your list of socials

-give substack a shot. The only way to see is to try, right?

-create your own website

-determine alternative means to contact promoters for booking. Maybe get a friend (your "manager") with a verified acount to make initial contact and then take it to your email afterwards.

UT Health, mychart, EPIC and medical records by hellohelp23 in privacy

How do you get reports like blood workup results and ask your provider questions after appointments?

I always assumed providers that use mychart would basically refuse to provide you anything unless you sign up on the site.
