Afwall. U need root for that, but its worth it, still wondering why android dosent come with a own firewall app smh.

Markaos ,

Letting you disable or limit internet access to apps would go pretty strongly against Google’s interests - how would they get their ad money if half the users were running most apps offline?

Some vendors provide a way to do this (Xiaomi has an internet access toggle per app, or at least it did in the KitKat era), but it’s never making its way into stock Android until Google integrates AdMob into the system.

You can toggle internet access per app on stock Android tho…

Markaos ,

Only if you consider ROMs like LineageOS to be stock Android and ignore the many things they do to make the user’s life easier.

AOSP never had internet access as a toggleable permission, and it never will as long as Google is calling the shots and wants ads to work the way they currently do.

Install a browser with adblock like mull.

Use ADB to remove everything else you don’t need.

Start with F-droid and maybe end with custom ROM without google.

What Lemmy client is that?

Boost for Lemmy. It’s got ads and closed source but it’s by far the best app I’ve used.

Congratulations! I’ve been rocking the Xiaomi Mi 10T Lite 5G for about three years now. They’re great phones.

cordlesslamp , to casualuk in I got a 'new' phone

Bought a Mi 9T since launch, still rocking it today. Assuming the 10T is equally as good or better, it’ll serve you well for years to come if you’re taking good care of it.

One advice is to de-bloat it ASAP. YouTube is full of tutorial.

Damn that’s really good for ai. I just chalked the weirdness up to strange lighting and Florida being Florida.

Install aurora store, it is basically play store without the telemetry

any fossify app

Install rethink, it’s on fdroid. traffic blocker for apps. Gotta stop those xiaomi apps from getting telemetry.

Fudoshin OP ,
@Fudoshin@feddit.uk avatar

Rethink looks fantastic! Seeing up now. 👍

Tweak , to casualuk in I got a 'new' phone

Xiaomi phones have good hardware, but man, the bloatware is obscene. I hope yours can be hacked and I hope you do it.

You can bet I’ve already installed 3 meme apps

I’m guessing you won’t do it.

Fudoshin OP ,
@Fudoshin@feddit.uk avatar

😂 cheeky sod! I have lots planned for it this weekend. Already installed fdroid, revanced, etc. Got some tutorials lined up for removing bloat bits and abs there’s a traffic monitor app someone recommended.

I’ve got Adguard on my network so that will catch some of the Xiaomi telemetry while I get round to it later today or tomorrow. 👍

Tweak ,

If your model is supported, I’d recommend DivestOS.

“Have you seen the colour of our passports?”

Tja ,

(Made in France)

fox2263 ,

Wasn’t it Poland?

Well whoever makes them, they’re shit

Tja ,

Probably made by a French company (Thales) in Poland (Gdańsk, IIRC).

fox2263 ,

Thales, purveyors of ships, missiles and passports?

Tja ,

And trains, and radar systems, and SIM cards…

fox2263 ,

The French Samsung.

Do they make mobiles and laptops?

Unfortunately, that’s my dad.

The idiot claimed he didn’t know anyone that Brexit would affect. Totally forgot his eldest son is living in central Europe.

What a melt my old man is.

There was a bloke at work who pretty much said that. And that he wants gold top milk back…

It’s sort of backfired for idiots like that. The care homes and hospitals in my area now have a wider diversity of staff, the people these idiots don’t like the look of. Brexit restricted the supply of the people they like the look of.

Alteon ,

It’s just so pathetic that we are living in the 2020’s and the color of a person’s skin is still such a issue for so many people.

Change is so painfully slow. I really feel that it will take the boomer generation dying out before any meaningful progress is made.

A lot of it is cultural and does/will get better in time. But there’s always going to be pockets of these people unfortunately. My wife is from Asia and sadly the verbal racism is mostly from young people. I guess they just find it funny amongst their friends.

fox2263 ,

And still no gold milk I presume.

Hi, filthy foreigner here!
What’s gold top milk?

Digestive_Biscuit ,
@Digestive_Biscuit@feddit.uk avatar

Different colour tops for different types of milk. Gold top (cap) was the full fat milk which had cream on the top. Whether it’s true or not I don’t know but he said the EU banned it because of it’s high fat content.

Much obliged.

Cipher22 , to retrogaming in My most memorable NES games

Skipping some and having one in twice

cloudless OP ,
@cloudless@feddit.uk avatar

Sorry about that.

Cipher22 ,

Not anything worth apologizing for.

This is your list. That I think some things may be missing is irrelevant, but it can be a conversation starter.

That you have a duplicate means you can cram more of your favorites in, if you like.

Which was your favorite?

cloudless OP ,
@cloudless@feddit.uk avatar

Definitely Balloon Fight. The control scheme is perfect. Two player coop. Simple but fun, and with the right challenge.

I wish it had more variety in the level design.

What are your NES favourites?

Cipher22 ,

My favorites were Ninja Turtles, Final Fantasy, Paperboy, Zelda, Rygar, Castlevania 3, or Kid Icarus. At least those ones got massive amounts of play time.

cloudless OP ,
@cloudless@feddit.uk avatar

Kid Icarus is a little too difficult for me, but I think I should try again and see if I can get better.

I only played TMNT on SNES, perhaps I should try the NES one.

I never tried Paperboy, is it good?

Cipher22 ,

I never said I was good at them. LOL. I enjoyed them all. For the time they came out, they were amazing to me.

I think the part I liked about TMNT was that it had multiple play styles in one game, so it felt like more.

Paperboy was a racing game with a timing mechanism. You ride a bike along a set course, dodging obstacles like the racing games of the time. However, you have to time throwing papers at or in mailboxes to get points to pass stages.
