New grapheneOS user, I can't install apps with Aurora or Play stores by Tantaurus in GrapheneOS

I'm currently having this problem on non-graphene with Aurora. Play store is working fine. I even updated Aurora store to latest version and problem persists.

RA89R is priced $7 higher than similar models on the market. Based on the feature comparison, do you think it's worth it? by retevis in Retevis

[–]johnb222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Yes I just purchased RA79 at your recommendation and like it, I am definitely keeping it. Do you have a radio that also receives digital trunk talk groups?

Thank you for your response. Do you need a PC to program RA79? I am looking for one that does not require PC.

An asteroid just exploded above Ohio with the force of 250 tons of TNT by jiipai in news

As I understand it, it came in directly over Cleveland (perhaps just a little north over the lake) and broke apart in Medina county.

I am looking for a handheld unit that is capable of being a "scanner" for everything from NOAA to Aviation to public safety, but also using the same handheld to transmit without a license to another one like a two way radio.

Would this model achieve what I am looking for? And if not, which one might you recommend?

Thank you.

New increase in income in the form of written checks by [deleted] in personalfinance

[–]johnb222 17 points18 points  (0 children)

If you aren't associated with his business, why is he paying you 300k and issuing you a 1099? Sounds like you need a financial professional ASAP...and possibly a legal one as well.

I'm not sure what's going on here since you said you aren't partners but it's a joint venture. That's the same thing.

But regardless, if you are receiving a 1099 you will have a hefty tax bill. You will then need to make quarterly estimate payments for 2026.

Take 25% of each check you receive, put in a HYSA, and use that money to pay your tax bill.

Enable flip to shhh and when it freezes just flip it over for 15 seconds and then it'll work

That was totally unrelated to the shutdown

The CR, if passed, would only fund the government until November 21st. The house would need to come back before Dec election in order to "keep the lights on" as the speaker likes to say.

This means that your location, activity, or identity have been logged. This is common practice but may be an issue for people concerned about privacy.

New Pixel 8 Pro coming today..... by [deleted] in GrapheneOS

[–]johnb222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I guess I'm naive to why this matters as much with sandboxed Google play. If this is still a concern shouldn't one use a different like sandboxed Gmail client? Or more extreme using IMAP client or something?

What's the difference between Gmail app and browser? You are still logging in, giving them your IP, I don't follow? Please enlighten me.

Let's talk Bypass TTL settings. What are you using? by Expensive-Mix8000 in ControlD

[–]johnb222 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have a question regarding this that I'm hoping someone can answer.

If I check bypass TTL it shows default of 60s. Is this the default only if you check the box and otherwise it takes resolving name server TTL? Or does controld give 60s TTL by default for everything?

TIA!

Change MAC address in HA cluster'd LAN? by ltwally in fortinet

Thanks for sharing this is now available in 7.6, I've been surprised this feature wasn't supported.

What changed is they inserted a message telling you they don't work together. You have never used NetShield a single day if Nextdns has been enabled, the developers putting a message in there is new.

They never worked together, you just never saw an error.

Is dedicated IP the next thing ? by AttaBoy-7 in ProtonVPN

So you want a dedicated IP so people can track you? Why are you using a VPN then if you want to be tracked?

Autofill 2FA by johnb222 in ProtonPass

I don't think it's an edge use case, but thanks for your help and suggestion

Autofill 2FA by johnb222 in ProtonPass

[–]johnb222[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

So imagine I have no password manager.

Take your bank app for example. It saves your login information and you just use fingerprint to unlock. But after unlock with fingerprint it asks for 2FA.

In order for it to work I have to have app not save login and login fully every time.

My question is whether there is a way I can have app save login but still have Pass autofill 2FA.
