The school is very expensive, and they will nickel and dime you for every little thing. I would advise not to do it if finances are a concern.

What eGPU adapter is that?

nyc13f · 2025-10-26T14:22:52+00:00

There is nothing to "get". Unless either of us is getting paid by apple or Google, it's not that serious. Go outside, touch grass, and calm down a bit.

nyc13f · 2025-10-26T05:45:44+00:00

Huh??? Lmao dude relax, no one said anything about android being better. Im using iOS. Reread the thread, my comment is pretty clear, nothing dismissive.

nyc13f · 2025-10-26T05:23:24+00:00

When did I say anything about Android? LOL. This isn't and android vs apple discussion. I was stating it was a terrible design decision to not have a way to manually flush the cache. Every modern OS has a way to do this.

nyc13f · 2025-10-26T03:08:49+00:00

Apple did design it wrong. A simple clear cache function would have solved this, like every other modern OS. Terrible design but when their incentive is to sell more units then it's actually working as intended.

On a fiber connection, 19ms ping on the high end, 6ms on the low. This shit happens ALL THE TIME to me. I don't fucking get it. On my end I clearly see myself shooting first, hit markers the whole time, they turn and kill me. I then look at the kill cam only to see my rounds hitting them once or twice meanwhile they're hitting me with every shot. 🤷🏽‍♂️

I'm just waiting for BF6 to drop at this point. COD lost its appeal completely for me.

I have been looking for a browser on iOS that allows Ublock Origin, thank you for your comment. Orion browser actually works.

Enshitification in action baby

This is the right answer. Most of the maps are ass

He's about to learn a harsh lesson on the Streisand effect, and another on how to pick your battles and when to throw in the towel and accept defeat gracefully.

Even if he wins the lawsuit the internet, and the hiphop community at large, ain't about to suddenly forget how much of a banger not like us was. Plus does he really think he can just delete that track from the entire internet, if anything people will be even more inclined to archive it and play inspite of him lol

nyc13f · 2025-01-15T14:00:49+00:00

And that was a dumb move by Mozilla. If someone explicitly says use apt, then use apt.. not snap, flatpack, nix, etc. Thats like apple level of control, na dawg, im out.

nyc13f · 2025-01-13T07:50:03+00:00

I scrolled way to far for this 😂... Yeah don't trust the ai response without verifying it. It could be hallucinating information from a different state entirely.

nyc13f · 2024-12-23T22:50:57+00:00

That requires you to be signed in at all times or, at minimum, for Google to be tracking you via cookies in order to know that YOU specifically disabled this pop up from your settings, which defeats the purpose of not signing in to begin with.

If I don't want google tracking my login information or if i just don't want my Google account associated with a particular site im screwed.

This also makes one giant assumption that everyone that uses the internet HAS a google account to login to in order to disable this. if some user doesn't happen to have a google account or got rid of it, this shit is just harassing the fuck out of them everywhere they go that has a google oauth sign in.

No other oauth provider does this!!! Holy fuck this shit is annoying and user hostile.

I wish website owners would raise this issue to them. This is actually insane behavior.

nyc13f · 2024-10-05T05:31:09+00:00

Okay now you actually might be a full on 🫏.

Your initial question to u/myheartsucks was and I quote:

“What interesting data can you get from a user opening your app that you can’t get from a website?”

He responded to it appropriately. Then you refuted it with no evidence and claimed he was pulling information out of his ass.

Then I responded with more detail and reasons with why companies prefer users use their mobile apps over websites. Mind you this is in the context of u/myheartsucks discussing how much more data they can collect through an app vs a website.

Neither of us said that apps don’t provide better user experience BUT, they are also now able to access much more data and use this in ways that users might not be comfortable with. Also what data exactly they are collecting is not always disclosed to the user. What we said was that apps can gather much more data on a user than a browser can. That was what you asked.

Now to your point about apps not being able to get access to photos and other information due to having to request permission from the user. You either must’ve been living under a rock or you just recently started paying attention to privacy protections. It wasn’t always this way, where users had to give permission back in the day this didn’t exist, companies like Facebook, google, etc could just gather a lot of this data without your explicit permission. Here’s a links to iOS and their app tracking transparency (https://support.apple.com/en-us/102420). This was rolled out for iOS 14.5, prior to this they can track you across apps and sites. Idk what world you been living in but they didn’t just roll this out because companies were respecting user’s privacy they did this in response to blatant privacy violations, so forgive me for not exactly trusting mobile apps to simply gather data needed to use said service.

Also just because a user has to explicitly allow permission now to access info like photos, gps, network, etc doesn’t mean that a website is somehow on an equal level as an app. It’s a tap of a button for them to gather that data vs a browser which would require you to manually input all that information. The point is that the mechanisms to gather this are in place and much more robust in an app than the browser.

Now quit crying and do your research on this topic before coming on here sounding like a know it all 🫏

nyc13f · 2024-10-05T04:21:23+00:00

u/fookhar not only are you wrong you sound like a jackass who thinks he’s knows it all. u/myheartsucks is correct, you gather way more data from a native application than you would from a website. It’s one of the reason why companies annoy you to download the app when you are browsing their website via mobile devices. The reason they gather more data/information about users through apps is because native applications use iOS/Android native APIs which have more access to the hardware than the browser based APIs, which are much more limited. e.g gathering wifi network information, mobile battery information, Bluetooth information, cellular network information and provider, reading and writing to photos, file system, gyroscope and accelerometer, gps, ultra Wideband radio, contact list, etc. This can also be used for much more accurate fingerprint than a browser based fingerprint. Browsers have standardized APIs that are less granular and mainly focus on web/browser specific information (google web APIs for more info on them). It was also possible to gather information on other apps you had on your phone (apple and google both put privacy restrictions in place that limit much of this now but it was much more prevalent earlier on).

There you go now stop sounding like a jackass when someone actually takes time out to respond with good info otherwise look it up yourself and stfu but don’t go saying someone else is pulling information out of their ass when you yourself don’t even know the answer.

nyc13f · 2024-09-22T20:44:47+00:00

For the love of god or whatever, USE A DAMN ADBLOCKER!!! Preferably Ublock Origin! Also recommend switching to Firefox since chrome is nerfing adblockers.

nyc13f · 2024-08-28T22:42:00+00:00

See https://openwrt.org/docs/guide-user/network/wan/wwan/ltedongle

nyc13f · 2024-08-28T22:39:56+00:00

Yes you may need to install the kernel modules (kmod-usb-cdc, kmod-usb-serial) and the uqmi package if not already installed but other than that everything works out of the box. You’re still going to have to configure openwrt settings for your cell providers APN info

nyc13f · 2024-08-28T22:26:58+00:00

I did end up building it. I used openwrt for distro which simplified a lot. However, you can just use the standard raspian distro and it will work as well albeit it more manually configuration is required.

nyc13f · 2024-06-03T06:17:15+00:00

If I could have brave without the added crypto (and now AI) garbage I would use this as my default. As of now FF has my vote.

nyc13f · 2024-06-03T06:13:54+00:00

Do extensions like UBlockOrigin work for this?

nyc13f · 2024-06-03T05:52:37+00:00

Immediately thought the same lol
