I can’t tell you that, sorry. I prefer cash, never paid with a phone yet. This OS can safely lock your bootloader (does so with the automatic installer), but I wouldn’t think it passes the safetynet check without some closed source magisk module that patches the verification system.

it only works for hiding ads, it is powerless to protect any of your privacy anymore. ublock origin is much more than an adblocker, but ubo lite is basically just google’s mockery

oh, that’s good to know! iirc that’s the same reason it happens on windows too

oh yeah now that you say, SMB/CIFS mounted share if connection is no more. when I experienced this, it was temporary though, because there’s a timeout which is half (or double?) of the configurable reconnection timeout. but now that I think of it, I’m not sure if it made it unkillable.

killall just kills all instances of a program, not everything.

and also, long pressing the power button should just shut it down, no?

on windows a process can get in a state so that it is impossible to make it go away, even with process explorer or process hacker. mostly this also involves the bugged software becoming unusable.

I encounter such a situation from time to time. one way it could happen is if the USB controller has got in an invalid state, which one of my pendrives can semi-reliably reproduce. when that happens, any process attempting to deal with that device or its FS, even the built-in program to remove the drive letter, will stop working and hang as an unkillable process.

I think there’s a balance. if you really don’t care anymore, you’ll become a bad person that nobody wants around

turns out OBS does not have a software encoder for it, only encoding with a hardware encoder is supported. it is mentioned in the 2nd table of the video formats heading herev https://obsproject.com/kb/audio-video-formats-guide

there is no screen protection on either of the 2 phones

when I tried it, it lagged like no other app does. it genuinely had 10-20 fps

forgot the most important part. I’m storing twitch streams from a variety channel with lots of Minecraft.

they roughly do 7 streams a week, 2-4 hours each, and the size of the collection that has all streams from 2020 October is almost 11 TB.

and OBS doesn’t support h265

are you sure about that? I’m pretty sure it should. maybe you’ll find it as _x_265, as that’s the name of the encoder it uses

twitch - the gameplay streaming platform - limits 1080p streams to 8000 kbps at most, at 60 FPS. I think it exclusively uses H264 encoding. For most games this is plenty.
There are some where it can be felt that it’s not enough, but in those cases it’s always the bitrate.

these games include

• escape from tarkov because of it’s environment, especially if the player has taken I think painkillers, and in turn has sharper/different vision. compression is really struggling there
• no mans sky when traveling in hyperspace, this is the most extreme case I have seen so far
• any games that have darker scenes (not necessarily in a “bright night” style) will have it visible

unless you are playing a quick action first person shooter, 165 fps is totally unnecessary, 60 is plenty.
1440p, I’m not sure. if thats your screen resolution, maybe it’s better to not lose quality to downscaling, more so because it can’t be done by just averaging every 2 pixels, it would bea weird ratio I think

for encoding… what hardware you have?
x265 is more efficient than x264, if you can afford the performance, but if you have a graphics card with hardware accelerated AV1 encoding, that may be even better. do some test recordings though.

Fairphone 4 user here too. I also got it second hand, but immediately replaced the OS with CalyxOS. It seems fast to me. My last phone wasn’t.

My only problems with it so far is the lack of a jack, that I need to remove the battery to remove the SD or SIM card, and the screen seems too easily scratched. It was scratched when I got it, but not this mutch. Its in my pocket with nothing else, but the screen is basically full of micro scratches while my previous phone of 8 years has (which was a very cheap phone even back then) almost no scratches at all.

I suspect that the JSON file is for the Nix package manager

windows 10: uninstall edge

windows 11: uninstall copilot

the only game I have that has cards are the portal series, the others I haven’t experienced because I don’t play with games that have them. Are hats and loot boxes Valve’s fault, though?

working on it, I’ve taken upon myself the eat the rich way of thinking and planning. however, after their wealth is distributed, retirement doesn’t work without an ever increasing population, does it?
