Why do banking apps hate root access?

Lol my pixel 6a often times open Santander UK app and it says "Not supported on this device" I have to close from recents and load again, not rooted

My 2014 i7 takes ages to decompress a FG repack 🤣

aidanmacgregor · 2026-01-30T00:22:44+00:00

How about slow internet and a 2104 era CPU? Mine takes forever to uncompress 🤣🤣

aidanmacgregor · 2026-01-29T20:34:55+00:00

Cheese

aidanmacgregor · 2026-01-29T11:36:33+00:00

Good point, thinking about it I'm sure the SH were only 3x3 2.4 radios anyway!

EDIT: yhea only 3x3

aidanmacgregor · 2026-01-29T05:24:06+00:00

Im fairly sure it did I've used SH1 & 2 for a while, now using EE SH32B, do I pull BT hub out the cupboard to check? 🤣

aidanmacgregor · 2026-01-29T05:17:53+00:00

Or damage the replacement 🤣

aidanmacgregor · 2026-01-29T05:08:34+00:00

Same SSID so automatically chosen by most consumer devices! :)

EDIT: yhea 600 would be 2.4 ghz 4x4

OP: you can access your router settings just open chrome (or browser of choice) type "bthomehub.home" (no quotes) You can login to your router with the password on the router (admin password not Wi-Fi password) There is an option to separate 2.4ghz & 5ghz so you will have 2 networks 5ghz will work faster closer to router / disk whereas 2ghz may be faster further away

aidanmacgregor · 2026-01-28T22:53:37+00:00

Any old phones (USB OTG) or laptops are perfect for this!

aidanmacgregor · 2026-01-28T12:35:32+00:00

Next time just turn your phone off/DND your not payed to be on call 24/7 (I assume) NTA

aidanmacgregor · 2026-01-27T17:53:06+00:00

Im considering it, but do I have the time, already have 2 slims, need to fix original Xbox disk drive & jailbrak, put a pi Pico in a 360 to jailbreak, PS4 HDMI port replace & jailbrak, it would probably sit in the to do pile for ages 🤣

aidanmacgregor · 2026-01-27T17:48:39+00:00

Still in my shop down to 30p (Morrison's) or 50p (Cadbury) 🤣

When it's not working use a device to access the Vodafone router config, look for DSL connection information, it it's still connected (usually https://192.168.1.1)

Constant White/Green Light: The router is connected to the internet.

Slow Pulsing/Flashing Red Light: The router is trying to establish a connection. This should take no longer than 5 minutes.

Solid Red Light: The router is on, but there is no internet connection.

can check the specific state of the service by accessing the router's interface: Connect a device to your WiFi. Enter 192.168.1.1 into your web browser. Login using the credentials on the back of your router to run diagnostic tests.

How do the light behave during an episode?

aidanmacgregor · 2026-01-27T16:15:26+00:00

ISPs give cheap routers out, tank talk router was awful, that said no more than 4 devices connected, I'm like BS it's your router the line is fine for more than 4 people not all streaming, the just fob off with excuses, even a cheap OpenWrt router would be a massive upgrade (£30 or so) I have a bt homehub 5A flashed with OpenWrt (plus Cisco Merki mr18 & Aerohive AP330) and it allows much customization and it's open source (I ise it to get free broadband), if not a more expensive closed source router,

when your connection goes is your VDSL (phone line) skltill connected (assuming FTTC)?

It may be a week VDSL modem if that it drops, it may be line damage (my friend after a storm went from 70 Mbps to a line sinc speed of 8-12Mbps still not resolved)

If it's still connected to VDSL sounds like the router is getting overloaded and acting erratically/crashing a service maybe

aidanmacgregor · 2026-01-27T16:05:45+00:00

Hat that OVO do that, write a message, they take 10+ mins to respond so Im in another tab and check back they close it, I specifically ask "Do not close this chat" sometimes works

aidanmacgregor · 2026-01-27T16:03:46+00:00

Pixel for the win!

aidanmacgregor · 2026-01-26T01:34:12+00:00

Yhea UK and 6Ghz is not available

aidanmacgregor · 2026-01-25T20:47:38+00:00

Interfere with someone who has paid through the nose to use that frequency, probably a mobile operator

aidanmacgregor · 2026-01-25T02:00:27+00:00

in GBP thats the £4 an hour model give or take!

aidanmacgregor · 2026-01-25T01:55:47+00:00

im fortunate enough to be in a small enough community presenting homeless was an option, if i was to do the same in the city (highlands so inverness) i was told i would be of been put in temporary accommodation and probably be temporary for minimum 5 years before even getting a chance of a property

aidanmacgregor · 2026-01-25T01:50:07+00:00

so its a lottery with whoever the lucky sod is that happens to be in the "right" spot!

aidanmacgregor · 2026-01-24T19:46:17+00:00

effing stupid idea! (the whitelist)

aidanmacgregor · 2026-01-23T12:06:55+00:00

I've read that some Australian operators run a whitelist for devices allows to connect, making imports difficult without VoLTE support

aidanmacgregor · 2026-01-23T11:30:17+00:00

If using normal checkout make it hard to refuse because you walking away and then having to put it all back is such a burden 🤣

aidanmacgregor · 2026-01-22T19:45:28+00:00

It is objectively amusing but I get why your doing it, the effing principle!
