randie63··on Huawei phones automatically deleting videos of the protests?
I would guess even if xiaomi would do the same, it would still be china devices only i suppose. Those that don't even have Google Play Store certification
randie63··on Android 13 requires devices to have more than 2GB RAM and 16GB storage
THIS!

MTP sucks hard and is slow and easy to overload with many files.

My 4.2 device was Umi X2 Chinese phone and I even hacked together couple Roms for such Meadiatek based devices back then. I remember my lightest ROM was like 250mb. With working PlayStore and all, but obviously only bare minimum included. Nowadays even the lightest custom Roms are 700mb+ . With Google apps and all easy 1.5GB and more.

randie63··on Study finds no detrimental effects of psilocybin in 10mg or 25mg dose
But the thing is, only just because we can't prove it now, doesn't mean it's false. You sound like the people who would have believed that the earth is center of the universe in the middle aged. And most people thought that, even "scientist". So you would have been perfectly right to believe it. You would not sound crazy. But yet wrong. What i want to tell you, don't be ignorant and don't form opinions on stuff you don't understand. Try it in lower dose. Imagine sober real life like folders browsing back and forth. But on shrooms (or LSD, DMT etc) it's like viewing a whole folder tree. You are able to make connections to thoughts you never would have connected in real life, because they are not directly related. So called "Ahh" moments. I will never give up drugs because of that greater understanding of own knowledge. Remember, knowing is not understanding. Such drugs allow you to truly understand. And as a side note, i had the same view as you when I was young. Now i know that i just was ignorant. In the end of the day, fuck what others say. You need to think for yourself and understand the world for yourself !
randie63··on Hyundai stops engine development and reassigns engineers to EVs
I will hate a future where we will not have fun and yet very useful cars like for example RAM TRX https://youtu.be/Ob3Y9BGRAM4?t=85
randie63··on Will we ever fly supersonically over land?
Troll ? Isn't it common knowledge meanwhile that it's vaporware and not possible ? At least on the public of hacker news readers I would hope
randie63··on Ask HN: Germans and Spaniards – Why the dramatic difference in death rates?
Spain does not have that high resistance. But still wanted to point out this info
randie63··on Ask HN: Germans and Spaniards – Why the dramatic difference in death rates?
Some user has pointed out in some other corona HN post, that Italy has a very high antibiotic's resistance. And corona does not kill directly after all in most cases. Its the bacteria and other illness you might have, which gets you.

randie63··on BMW’s new flat logo is everything that’s wrong with modern logo design
But i would argue that whoever had the idea with the 2x size grill has an ass where a head typically is
randie63··on AMD Launches Ultra-Low-Power Ryzen Embedded APUs
That's what I wanted to say :)
randie63··on AMD Launches Ultra-Low-Power Ryzen Embedded APUs
But with this logic, intel could finance this so much better than AMD. But we still see mostly Intel with security issues
randie63··on Freeman Dyson takes on the climate establishment (2009)
True, it's a fact. But what's not a fact, that CO2 is the reason for that. We humans can do nothing about it. How do you else explain some ice age with 10x the CO2 amount in the far past. But don't misunderstand that I am against a cleaner future. Efficiency should be always improved, in every field. But I am against unnecessary change just because of CO2. For example it's better for the environment to use your old car as long as possible instead building new electric cars. This is less efficient overall than repairing and maintaining the tech of today. The whole climate change topic is far more political than actually fact based.
randie63··on Brave Passes 10M Monthly Active Users, Sees 19% Growth Since 1.0 Launch
You have to try Kiwi Browser. It has build in ad blocker (need to be enabled in settings first) and a real dark mode for websites. And bottom UI.
randie63··on The state of Android updates is still dire
I am using "Sleep Cycle" without problems. Poco F1 custom AOSP 10 Rom .
randie63··on Show HN: Monolinux – A tiny embedded Linux distro
If you have a 512mb SD card, you should probably not use it anymore. Even if you don't need the storage.
randie63··on Can a Bit of Electricity Improve Your Brain?

randie63··on After 'South Park' Censorship Episode, China Deleted the Show from the Web
You don't ban it, cuz it shows that you habe been hurt by it.
randie63··on Milky Way’s Black Hole Just Flared, Growing 75 Times as Bright for a Few Hours
It would need to travel faster than light
randie63··on It's Time to Pay Attention to Intel's Clear Linux OS Project
Solus did used some clear Linux tuning back in the days when Ikey (founder) was still main Dev. Now the optimizations are still there, but you feel there are getting more rough edges than less, overall. So can't fully recommend Solus OS like I did a year ago :/
randie63··on FBI has seized Deep Dot Web and arrested its administrators
Maybe the dark net will become the "new" internet some day in the near future with all the freedom limiting regulations going on.
randie63··on FBI has seized Deep Dot Web and arrested its administrators
I really wonder what they have legally against deep dot web. The site just provided the links and reviews of the darknet marketplaces. So users could look up what might be trustable and what better to avoid. Information is not illegal. and should never be.

The referral link stuff is maybe gray area, but you can not see who bought what and for how much from your referral link.

But maybe the website owner(s) had some illegal side business going on dark net markets, and FBI just took deepdotweb down with everything else connected to the owners.

randie63··on Spotify will now suspend or terminate accounts it finds are using ad blockers
YouTube ? Audio Quality ?

Anyway, I also dislike that my premium subscription is only 320kbit vorbis. I can hear a difference between that and a lossless flac on my 2016 OnePlus 3 and 15$ KZ ZSN Headphones. Obviously even bigger difference on my desktop DAC and over ear monitors. I guess I have to build an offline lib and sync it with syncthing and use Spotify like soundlcoud only to discover new stuff

randie63··on Switching to Firefox, Concerned with UBlock Origin Changes
But if you still want a fast Browser , try Kiwi Browser. Perf optimized chromium with build in adblock and night mode (100% black Websites on my amoled screen)

"... men with higher sperm concentrations are likely to have more testosterone in their bodies and thus may be more likely to smoke marijuana because simply they are willing to take more risks."
randie63··on Surprises from Analyzing Spotify Streaming Data
don't worry, you did not miss much. most of the new chart music is pure cancer. and I'm 22
randie63··on Firefox 65.0 released
If you really think Firefox is faster on Android, that you have not tried the optimized Kiwi Browser. Try it, and report back how much faster kiwi is compared to Firefox hehe

randie63··on ProtonMail Hits 5M Accounts
I have switched to mail.tutanota.com and I love it. All the features I need are there. Super fast backend (really instand email delivery). The all new webapp is nice (only the phone UX can be improved a bit)
