But hey, at least we also get connection issues when compared to cable.

Yeah, Swift backup is the go to now

It still works actually.

That’s you assuming they show you what YOU want and not what THEY want you to see.

For what it’s worth, fixing safetynet is like a module or two and a couple reboots.

What does it break? I’ve always had a rooted phone and outside of Google pay, have never had anything not work.

Fixing safetynet is just another magisk module (or two, it’s been so long I don’t remember anymore).

I’ve never had a phone that hasn’t been rooted and also have always been able to use every app. Google pay might get pissy occasionally, but every banking app has always worked.

I looked just to make sure, and it’s actually 652. But only 445 are user apps.

I wish I could say a lot are junk, but there are a solid 100+ that I consider invaluable. I probably have 10+ backup apps alone (Google photos, Amazon photos, synctoy, Swift backup, folder sync, etc). Tasker and its app tree/plugins are probably close to 10. It adds up quick.

Then I have 7 or 8 for lemmy (waiting for one to separate from the pack), same number of news apps, and so on and so forth. My main issue is that if I have to do something more than a couple times (or need to remember to do it), I automate it. Tasker does a lot, but I have to use ifttt to do web things so I don’t smoke my battery. Open with allows me to use different apps as defaults. Basically, I have 3-4 apps for every task since a single one can never handle what I want completely. I have a VPN app, but another to remote into my server. I could use just the last app, but it doesn’t automatically switch to fastest VPN, so I have to use a 2nd. I have 4 file managers because Google likes to kill access to root areas, so they all go in and out of functionally.

Long story short, multiply the number of apps you have times 6 for how many of each type I tend to have, and that’ll be more accurate. But either way, yes, it’s stupid. And I HATE wiping my phone because it usually takes about 2 days just to restore everything (even using rooted Swift backup).

I seem to be like most and while I’ve tried tons, I’ve always stuck with Nova (at least since I switched from Apex).

My main sticking point and the reason it’ll be a long time before I switch? I NEED to be able to assign up/down swipes on icons. Tap opens app/folder, up swipe opens another app/folder, down swipe opens another app/folder.

At this point my homescreen has 6 icons and within 2 touches I can get to any of my 500 apps with nearly zero scrolling. If anyone knows another launcher that can do that, I’m all ears.

Flash firmware on a soldering iron. What a time.

Hard sell to consider towns of 20k and 10k people are cities. I grew up in rural Midwest with higher population densities than that.

On one side you have people that think 5g causes cancer. On the other, you have people directly beaming shit into their skulls to open their cars from a couple extra feet away.

That’s been Russia’s MO for quite a few wars now.

So where has the left functioned successfully in the real world?

Guess it was Freedomville that caused Soviet Russia and China to be so oppressive, right?

I’d be interested to hear where communism, socialism, or any far left government has ever worked in the real world.

Because there are plenty of examples of it being a nightmare.

If you use it on the surface, you won’t have any problems (if it’s diluted). It’s something that’s sold for this exact thing. Otherwise, a quick Google would tell you if there are any problems. I’m just trying to help with the mold/fungal part since that might be a little more tricky to understand.

My only hesitation is if it gets under the paper. It still should be fine, but I don’t want to say yes when I’m not 100% sure (it’s a scientist thing).

The pure bleach… Well, I’d test that first on a small piece of drywall if you have any laying around. Put a little on, let it sit for a minute, wipe it off with water a couple times and see how it looks in a day or two. In a different spot, put some on for 5 min and do the same thing.

I’m just another guy, not a professional at all. I am, however, a microbiologist that works at a place that tests for this exact thing (but we don’t remediate). So this does not constitute a recommendation. Hopefully an actual remediation person can come in and tell you/correct me so I know. I make zero claim to how the spot will look after, but it should be fine. And so on and so forth.

From a microbiology standpoint, if it’s grown like that, its going to have put spores out everywhere. So while cutting it out and replacing is the BEST option, it’s mostly just going to remove the active production of spores. This can also be nearly identically achieved with a bleach solution. You can buy them premade, but it’s basically just 10% (?) bleach and 90% water. Should be super easy to find exact formula online. Put that in a spray bottle, soak the spot on both sides, let it dry, and repeat a couple of times. Maybe scrape it off with a putty knife and put it directly into a sealed bag before you walk it through your house. Seriously, spores are no joke - some can survive re-entering the Earth’s atmosphere. Don’t walk it through the house open. Respray, rinse and repeat.

If you REALLY want to make sure and give zero shits about how it looks, use 100% bleach after. But know that bleach likes to dissolve things - it’s basically the same as an acid, but in the other side of the chemical spectrum, and has the same results. I’d check online to see how drywall will react before doing this, but it’ll kill the fungi/mold.

Once you’re satisfied that the spot has been touched by bleach all the way through, paint it and forget it exists. It’ll let you know relatively quickly if you didn’t get it all.

Again, this is from a microbiology standpoint only. I have no idea how the drywall will react or have any experience in remediation.

I haven’t due to apathy. I’ll get around to it eventually. Haven’t been on Reddit since the blackout and have no desire to go back.

I’m assuming you mean top vs bottom vs sides? Top is bigger because it has the camera and sensors. Everyone would complain about bezels (and did) of the sides were smaller for zero reason other than being the same size all around.
