Every app has access to an api that asks your phone to verify your fingerprint against the ones stored for the lockscreen. The phone then asks for your fingerprint and tells the app if it passed or not.

As the commenter pointed out, it's not an image of your fingerprint either. It's a hash that is stored on your phone that is likely unique to that device.

Why would you think like that? No one on the internet (especially OP) would apologize for potentially being wrong smh.

It's so useful you see it mentioned on every other thread

No problem. Don't forget to try and do a test before nuking the original data, especially if you can't find a guide online!

While I don't know about lutris specifically, usually the easier strategy is to have your home folder as its own partition and map the new install into your old home folder. Then, once you install your programs again (lutris), it all just maps up properly like you never changed os'.

If you wanted a smaller version of that, backup your lutris configuration and install directories and restore them (in the exact same place) on the new install.

And for me: 4. It makes it a lot harder to accidently turn my camera on in meetings (a different form of privacy)

(On the shield 2019) If you block this domain with your dns ad blocker, the default launcher will only show ads for the YouTube, Google TV, and Google Play Store apps (not individual shows). I find these to be far less annoying as they use muted tones.

If you have already setup your device and currently see ads, you need to reset the android tv home application data to get rid of them. This will temporarily show you the old dashboard, but the new one will load eventually (without ads).

Try blocking this domain manually and see if it works (it wasn't part of my native lists in my router's adblock)

I like to describe this as a game of peekaboo.

Where's the vulnerability?

There it is!

Where's the vulnerability?

(Not opening eyes) Huh, I guess there are none!

If I had to guess, communities being deleted, instances going offline/being defederated etc

I use endeavorOS btw (arch fork)
