I bought a used Pixel 5 in Feb for my daily driver. Replaced my Pixel 3 only because the power button was flaky. They both still run great. By my standards, getting two years out of a phone I paid $150 for is better than getting three years out of a $700 phone.

No? I migrated (using takeout) to ente.io and I think there were lots of singles I assumed were broken up Top Shots.

What do you mean, it doesn’t work?

Works fine for me. Got the email in 1s. If the email doesn’t match their records, I’m assuming it either doesn’t send it, or you wouldn’t get it, as it isn’t the email you actually use.

Also, what about your SPAM folder? Why not email the admins before making a silly post like this…?

the image sequences the Pixel sometimes takes (forget what it calls them).

Top Shot?

Love jails. My server didn’t move with me to Central America, and I miss Free/TrueNAS jails

It’s not a done deal yet, but there’s occasionally hope,like in this one: https://www.techdirt.com/2024/06/24/court-no-immunity-for-so-anyway-i-started-blasting-cop-who-killed-someone-for-the-crime-of-being-at-home/

…cop entered a house and started shooting even though no one in the house matched the suspect’s description and seemingly just because he had a gun and power to use it.

“The video footage, the district court concluded, shows that Snowden did not have time to comply. And in his deposition testimony, Officer Garza, another police officer on the scene, agreed that Casanova started shooting as he said “Let me see your F-ing hands.”).”

…

The case goes back down to the lower court to be decided by a jury. As the appeals court notes, any “reasonable” officer would have recognized these acts of violence to be unconstitutional. But as the narrative and numerous footnotes show, it would be extremely charitable to call Officer Casanova “reasonable.” He’s a loose cannon and a detriment to his department. Hopefully, this case resolves not only in favor of the plaintiffs, but with a firing of the officer for being exactly the sort of cop that makes cops look bad.

No, you’re absolutely right. That’s what happens when you have the WaaSMedic service running, which cannot be easily disabled in services.msc. I would think I had finally gone the “full-nuclear” option and broken al updates by disabling and stopping the update services (that I knew about), but they would re-enable themselves without fail.

This comment explains where you need to disable it (if you want to go that route).

Damn those big COMAPNIES

There’s probably an official patch notes on Musk’s Nazi playground, but I’m not looking there, so this post and this link are the best I have found so far

I’m not sure what the purple app was.

It was a website, and after a Lemmy user reminded me of privacy.sexy, I realized it is decidedly un-purple.

Amazon buying GOG in 3… 2…

Yes!!! ⭐ ⭐

And it isn’t remotely purple! Thank you for sharing!!!

Its all coming back to me now. Must’ve been repressed memories…

For the record, the service names are: UsoSvc WaaSMedicSvc wuauserv

WaaSmedic must be that watchdog that kept re-enabling update services after I disabled them years ago. I just remember my OS would start a multi hour encode or compile, and I’d come back hours later to a login screen and update history telling me it rebooted when I didn’t have automatic updates enabled.

Thx for the reply.

That is similar to the web page I was thinking of. Thx. I’ll check it out.

God bless Steve Gibson! Security Now! I used Spinrite back in 92. I’ve used his other utilities (when they were relevant), and ShieldsUP too. That man is a treasure. Thanks for the link. I know he gets it.

On second thought, while this is great, I need to block all updates in this PC.

👊

Thx for the reply. 🩵
