I do this with older Kindles that I do not sign into. It works great and inexpensive.

Interested in Hardware Features we want to see in c/android@lemdro.id

Would like to see a full featured phone like the Note 9.

YouTube screwing itself with adblockers again in c/technology@beehaw.org

I use the desktop FreeTube app and watching YouTube works smoothly. On mobile, I use invidious via a browser or Safari in iOS with 1Blocker and NewPipe on Android.

GM Says It's Dropping Apple CarPlay And Android Auto Because They're Unsafe in c/technology@beehaw.org

Let's be honest, GM can't make money off owners using this software. They can make their own and have owners pay a subscription like some Tesla owners do now.

Pixel owners, what are your thoughts about GrapheneOS? in c/googlepixel@lemmy.world

[–] Sleestak_Chaka@lemm.ee 4 points 9 months ago

I use it on my Pixel 7. Don't miss anything from stock Google. Your usage will vary depending on your needs.

Android Auto is in the works and it is one of the teams priority. They know it holds many back from installing.

This was from one of their social posts. Can't recall if it was Bluesky, Mastodon or other.

YouTube once again ahead of uBO on Firefox; fiddling with the extension settings not working this time and DDG search is useless ... anyone got ideas? in c/technology@beehaw.org

[–] Sleestak_Chaka@lemm.ee 9 points 10 months ago

I'm using FreeTube and NewPipe to view now. Yewt.ube is working on iOS devices in Safari with 1Blocker. Firefox and uBO is my last option if I happen to click a link that opens automatically.

How Did Anyone Beat This In The Arcade? in c/retrogaming@lemmy.world

I (my mom) spent so much money on this game. It was in the laundromat near our home. My little brother and I would die so early on. Back then it took some time to figure what was going on with this game and what to do. We were so young so that's all I recall.

At least uBlock Origin is always up-to-date now in c/memes@lemmy.ml

Really wish there was an iOS app similar to the open source apps listed above. Currently Safari browser and 1Blocker are still working for me on my devices.

I've always worked for smaller private companies because my partner always got screwed working at bigger corporations.

Most of the world's biggest advertisers have stopped buying ads on Elon Musk's X, exclusive new data shows in c/technology@beehaw.org

Good. Now let's stop talking about this man daily.

My Thinkpad T480s randomly dies with Arch Linux in c/linux@lemmy.ml

[–] Sleestak_Chaka@lemm.ee 1 points 11 months ago (1 children)

I use Fedora on my T470 with no issues. It might just be Arch. Have you tried other distros? I wish there was a ThinkPad community here.

I also use Fedora on a 2008 Mac Pro with no issues. I'm really surprised how good it is because I've been using Linux since the 90s and never had it just run smoothly on my older hardware.
