  • Easy assuming you’re on the latest update, June and onward fixed my battery issues for me personally. Standard base model Pixel 7 here.

    Place all apps that don’t need to notify you RIGHT AWAY into restricted power mode!

    Settings > Battery > Battery Usage > click on each app that doesn’t need to give you instant notifications and make sure to change the ones you can from optimized to restricted.

    If you’re using Revanced YouTube like I do personally, MAKE SURE to disable MicroG (the app used to authenticate Google login services), it WILL run in the background and drain battery, YouTube itself is fine to leave as you use it. (Optimized is how I have mine)


  • Four does seem low, it does seem spot on for a false positive. That being said, you can install something like GlassWire and monitor outgoing connections on a VM if you’re concerned, which I would recommend doing so on the latest Windows 11, to protect against any malware that could infect the host machine through the VM, it is rarer alas but it absolutely does exist in the wild. You can also check your router logs and firewall software, take it an extra step and block those IPs from contacting you through your HOSTS file on your Windows machine or Linux machine, (located in different locations of course).

    Use a DNS that blocks adware access, such as a PRIVATE, PAID VPN service with no logs. These DNS services usually come with a filter list for known malware hosters and IPs and it’s an extra step in the right direction for protection against a file just in case it’s NOT a false positive. Good luck and I hope I helped you make a safe and informed decision for yourself!






  • Sorry, it does appear we’re reaching the end here.

    There was some discussion on our old homebase…if this doesn’t work though I’m sorry other than any extensions I haven’t tried, I wouldn’t be sure on how to get them to download properly, it probably doesn’t have the data to do so which is why it doesn’t show correctly.

    As per /u/aFancyUsernameHere -

    “The script u’ll usually find on searches suck. For me the best way is if you have an IOS device. When you download and login to your account in Drive app. A google drive tab will show in the Files app. Just make a shortcut of the file to “My Drive” so it shows in the Files app. From there just press and hold and click share, send it via Telegram or anything that you can download from it. And thats it.”




  • Shizuka doesn’t require a rooted phone to run, it has to be re-enabled each reboot.

    I don’t believe what you’re asking for exists, but I hope we can find a solution for you nonetheless!

    Maybe try a virtual machine with an Android image and see what you can do from there instead. You can run pure Android disc images (.iso) from virtual machine emulator software. This way, you can edit and even root the Android installation all from the comfort and safety of your virtual machine and it can be easily deleted at any time. This will help you bake in anti-DRM or screen protection, or at least use root to disable the protection itself. I know there is a Magisk module already available for taking screenshots in protected apps.

    Apple Music on Android has this same implementation, where if you screenshot a music video the screenshot comes out completely black and blanked.






  • Do you need a VPN for some jurisdictions? NO. Should you use one anyways for obscurity and privacy? YES. Also to prevent issues with laws in other countries, which is unlikely from the start, but is exactly the point. Most countries only will try and prosecute copyright in their own jurisdictions unless you’re uploading and providing content. When a copyright troll firm resolves your IP (usually through torrent swarms) and hostname and it points to a VPN data center or server, they’re not going ANY further and they’re just going to move on to the next victim.
