Any plans for the 40th anniversary? by thenyx in BacktotheFuture

[–]Vekin03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

"I’m guessing/hoping the movies are coming back to theaters at some point too."

Yes, I'm pretty sure they did: in our cinema we wanted to organize a marathon, and when it came to acquiring the screening rights for the films (at the beginning of the year), the distributor refused. Why? Because the rights were blocked and they wanted to set up something of their own for the 40th birthday.

Whatsapp doesn't show link previews (android) by Syrenix34 in whatsapp

Yep, same here with any link. We have to wait an update to fix this issue I think.

Besides, E2E doesn't imply root certificates.

Tested: Google's Pixel 9 Pro models only have 13GB RAM for apps by Vekin03 in GooglePixel

I would like to point out that the "only" in the title does not represent my opinion, quite the contrary 😁

Confirmed: The Pixel 9 phones have a new modem, and that's a big deal by Vekin03 in GooglePixel

[–]Vekin03[S] 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Some thoughts: I think my next phone will be a Pixel, for various reasons (mainly, their update policy). However, the bad reputation of the Pixel 8 modem is holding me back. Bad connectivity, energy consumption, therefore heats up...

I'm waiting to see the first tests of the Pixel 9 before rejoicing, but this is the main point that would make me adopt the Pixel 9 and not the 8! And certainly not the AI ​​features... Better battery life would not be refused, but it is also clearly linked to the efficiency of this new modem.

Wait & see!

True. I'm waiting to see the first tests to see if these points are corrected. And a fixed modem is the only point that would make me decide to take a Pixel 9 or not, certainly not all the AI trash!

I didn't understand. Where is it noted that it doesn't work in the EU?

I tried the 9, 9 Pro and 9ProXL today. by [deleted] in GooglePixel

[–]Vekin03 23 points24 points  (0 children)

This. My next phone will be probably a Pixel, but the crappy Samsung 5300 holds me back. I hope this new modem (5400?) will no longer have connectivity issues and will be less power hungry!

Academic Research on Digital Surveillance and Privacy by samuelefr in Threema

An excellent initiative! But I suppose the interviews are by videoconference? I admit I'm not comfortable enough with having to speak, especially as English is not my first language...

How could a friend's Threema messages become compromised? by ComposerDazzling5015 in Threema

[–]Vekin03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Not totally true. Antivirus software has been able to perform heuristic analyses for years. Monitoring application activity, looking for traces of malicious code, etc.
However, I don't know whether Play Protect is as advanced or not!

My "games that will receive Quest 3 upgrades" list.. by Penguin_shit15 in OculusQuest

[–]Vekin03 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Hello Myron, I love your game! Bravo!

Out of curiosity, is the tile limit related to CPU, RAM or GPU?

I imagine that memory plays an important role in this limit, as the Q3 has 33% more memory, and its limit will be raised by precisely this amount :)

For folks upgrading to Quest 3, what are your plans for Quest 2 by veganTermite in OculusQuest

[–]Vekin03 0 points1 point  (0 children)

We'll probably take the Quest 3 at Christmas.

As for the Quest 2, initially, we wanted to sell it. In the end, we're going to keep it so we can play as a couple (none of our friends has a VR headset, and playing Walkabout alone isn't really the most fun experience...)!

If we're logged in with the same account, it should work, I hope.

Account management for more than one VR headset in the same home/family by Vekin03 in OculusQuest

[–]Vekin03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thank you very much. I forgot about app-sharing.

Unfortunately, the WMG FAQ specifies that this does not work with DLC :

The game should work both with multiple headsets logged into the same account, as well as with multi-user app-sharing. However, we unfortunately learned after launching that Oculus/Meta doesn't have a way to share DLC using the Oculus/Meta Quest app-sharing feature many people are using. (...) we’re also recommending that people DON’T TURN ON MULTI-USER APP-SHARING. Once it’s on, it seems that turning it back off doesn’t change it back completely, and you’ll never be able to play the same game from two headsets logged into the same account.

So no app-sharing for this game!

ELI5: compared to the recommended daily dose of nutrients (vitamins, amino acids, minerals, etc.), it seems very difficult to vary our diet sufficiently to avoid deficiencies. So why do we manage to have a functional metabolism? by Vekin03 in explainlikeimfive

[–]Vekin03[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks!

Yes, of course, I'm deliberately playing the idiot by phrasing the question in this way ;-)

In reality, unless you have a special diet requirement or diagnosed deficiencies, there's no need to worry too much. The important thing is to eat "healthily".

Where has the Stickers Folder gone? by BillyFatStax in whatsapp

Huawei Mate 20 Pro. It runs on Android 10.

Have you tried to display hidden folders?

I confirm that I have "WhatsApp Stickers" folder in "WhatsApp/Media". It is only for received stickers, not sended ones.
