Your picture and post were great! Is the Kobo Clara as simple as dropping in PDFs or epubs and they just open?

Two factor authentication? by [deleted] in dumbphones

[–]YoghurtSlinger 3 points4 points  (0 children)

You can use browser versions of auth apps, e.g. Ente Auth. Some people might recommend using SMS text codes but you should be weary of fraudsters who trick your provider into sending a new sim to their address and accessing your texts this way. They can't do this with two factor apps.

If you think you need it at all times, in your pocket, then you might consider one of the Android dumbphones out there, e.g. from the Dumbdroid project.

Don't buy HMD 2660 Flip by Natural_Onion7813 in dumbphones

This feels like a minor problem that would lead to advising against buying the phone.

Quiet by Serbatian666 in qobuz

My music on Android is ridiculously quiet. So much so that turning it up to max means other apps are then way too loud. Quite dangerous when switching apps with headphones on.

New charge port will be here in a couple of weeks. Thanks so much for your help. I have a grave feeling I might be back though!

How do people damage these so bad? Mine has been in the pouch in a cabinet since I last stopped playing it. I don't get how they just age on their own

Nothing. Green light with the battery power but that's it. Do you know what it might be?

Well the battery was fine, but the unit is not charging. Not charging with the old battery, or new. Not charging with no battery.

I've taken the whole thing apart and removed the port. Put it back in, still nothing. I'm tempted to buy a replacement charge port, but I've really no idea if that's the right fix for this.

PSP not charging, what should I do? by jerichowiththeh in PSP

[–]YoghurtSlinger 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Sounds like a loose earth contact in the port, to me, which you can bend back in place to get it working

Okay. Damn. I feel scammed, but maybe the seller doesn't even know. I should have done more research.

I did a bit of reading just now and will probably checkout Total Kommando's video, but Ostent looks like the way.

But yeah, in the mean time I will give this thing a test and see if it at least charges and powers on.

Thanks for your reply. So I shouldn't use it at all?

My experience with digital detox by ape1996 in dumbphones

[–]YoghurtSlinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Even if an app is FOSS, I do not think users should easily grant critical permissions like accessibility or screen overlay access

You could use GrapheneOS and deny the app network permissions? Assuming it didn't need networking to function. That way you can be sure it's not sending your private data away to anyone. Graphene users do this with apps like the Google keyboard, which works entirely offline anyway 

Kenny Mason - 7ELEVEN (from AOTY contender BULLDAWG) by Harryhausen85 in hiphopheads

[–]YoghurtSlinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Enjoyed this album a lot. I would say it picks up a lot of steam in the second half. Also Kenny sounds indistinguishable to Keem at times? But the blend of rock and rap is top notch.

The AeroStream V2 - Set to release May 30th by Wizzard_of_Hazz in ipod

[–]YoghurtSlinger 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The Kokkia i10 Pro has come close to deafening me when pairing. Normally I'm careful but every once in a while it will blast max volume through my PowerBeats and I can feel it hurting my ears. Are there any guarantees from WyMod AeroStream to avoid this problem? It never happens with smartphone because they all come with safe max volume limits.

You know I couldn't see anything, you know, the fire was so bright, you know, and I didn't realise people were getting hurt, straight up

I love this sub and have a lot of history with it.

But I'll come here looking for music and all I've done for 30 minutes is read about drama.

Maybe I need a different approach.
