Could be that your phone lacks the necessary certificate authorities. I don’t think I’ve seen this happen on anything newer than Android 7 before, but maybe some root cert expired that I don’t know about.
If you haven’t already, try a reboot. The WebView server may be initialized once, and if you’ve just activated the cert in Magisk then you may need a reboot to activate it.
If not, I’m guessing the app explicitly does something to only use a particular system trust store.
If you use the default piped instance then it’s usually overloaded. You can either try finding an alternative or just host your own, personally I do the ladder I rented a VPS for 20 bucks a month and I host my own pipe there
To add on to this for iOS/macOS/iPadOS if you use safari you can send YouTube to your TV through airplay. Skips all the ads and if you use sponsorblock skips that too, so if you are too lazy to install smart tube this is a setup that works nicely.
as far as I see freetube is just written in html, css and Javascript, then all of that thrown into an Electron app. you can run these elements without Electron in any browser, it just won’t have access to as many device features as the app does.
I’ve built a web version here from the source just to try it out. it’s somewhat buggy but it does work
Correct, however rooting and installing lineageos for…? It will probably not let you play Nintendo games from their cloud. Might be cool as a emulator gamepad, but there’s plenty of great options out there for less now.
I just don’t get what the purpose is though. You’ve lost access to the proprietary primary library, which was the original reason to buy a Switch. If you want an emulation console there are cheaper alternatives as well other than the Deck, I was just using it as the de facto standard handheld.
There’s no benefit to nuking the OS and replacing it on a Switch. At least with something like a ROG Ally, you can make the argument that flipping over to Linux would make the handheld more performant and energy efficient. That cannot be said about flashing Lineage onto a Switch which functionally makes the system considerably less useful.
The Switch OS is already optimized and designed for the hardware. It’s as good as you’re going to get, and it’s also already Linux. I would much rather suggest cracking it to put custom firmware on the device based on the Switch OS; you would get more use out of the device because it could still play the games and be rigged to emulate the older ones.
It’s cool Lineage did this or whatever but it’s kind of a pointless and weird flex.
If you’ve got a switch gathering dust and have no interest in using it for gaming again (e.g. if you’ve got a steam deck), it’s nice to have the option to convert it to an Android tablet for the multitude of use cases the stock OS doesn’t support: streaming, a proper web browser, chat apps, …
If you have an original gen 1 Switch capable of even doing this (eg, not guarded against Fusée Gelée exploit at the hardware level like all subsequent models) you will probably find a better return selling it to somebody who wants to put CFW on it rather than turning it into a hacky android tablet.
With the model of the switch I have, modding it like this is only a softmod. Restarting the switch returns it to its normal nintendo switch interface and OS.
Why do this? Its fun, and besides if nintendo doesn’t want you playing its old games on new hardware then I’ll makr the new hardware play the old games.
If you can only install softmods you will not be able to crack the Switch to install Android on it. If you read the article it goes into detail about how only G1 Switches can actually achieve this because they are not guarded against the Fusée Gelée exploit for Nvidia Tegra processors. It continues to point out how Lites and OLEDs need to have custom soldering done for this to even work.
That’s what the original mod for switch is called, soft mod.
By restarting you either drop into a “launcher” that gives you various options including booting into the original OS or your modded OS.
I set mine up so if it restarts it always goes into the modded OS. Many people have theirs set up to go to the launcher, instead. People usually boot into the original OS if they want to play online.
The time it took you to write this would have been better spent reading the article:
Because Android isn’t technically “installed” on the Switch, but rather an external microSD card, you can switch between the default system and Lineage at any time.
Running Lineage is a big deal for those of us who have a switch laying around that no longer have a use for it.
It can be an android tv device replacement
Buy a $20 goose neck tablet mount, and now it’s a way to play streamed steam games or use the android tv jellyfin client to watch/play stuff without using the main TV
Bedside clock/radio with loads of extra features
Dedicated HomeAssistant remote
Or, the basic use case - Play emulated games on a neat handheld package with a decent screen on a plane or something, without needing to carry or buy another device.
If you have a Gen 1 Switch laying around, I would advise you to sell it to somebody who wants to make use of the ability to put CFW on it. They are actually still pretty valuable given the fact that all of the models beyond the first generation are guarded against the exploit that even makes this possible.
I’m sure Nintendo intentionally throttles the Switch to improve battery life, preserve the integrity of the hardware, and provide a consistent experience. Not to defend their decision at all. I just think it’s funny how people tend to react to learning about how much the Switch is artificially held back, as if Nintendo is just being stupid about the potential of their own console. I think it’s very likely they did plenty of testing and concluded that the specs they targeted provided the best balance of positive overall user experience with the least amount of complications for developers. And it clearly worked because it’s one of the best selling consoles ever with a massive catalogue of titles. The small handful of power users who want a Switch 4K Pro are just destined to buy a Steam Deck anyway. Nintendo doesn’t want anything to do with that niche group of gamers lol.
It makes a really really good android tablet in my experience and breaks in half every other android tablet I have used as of recently and I can’t get rid of it.
Like sure battery life isn’t the best. But the amount of things that you can do with a generic android device is astounding and is well worth the investment and it has more ram than any other tablet in its price category when bought used on eBay. Such that it actually functions really well compared to the shittastic tablets you’d be buying for its price point.
That and you can just run Linux on the Nintendo Switch anyway and have a fully functional computer that mogs any single board computer out there including the raspberry pi. Like having better hardware decoding and actual vulkan and opengl support that isn’t gimped due to laziness surrounding drivers that surrounds these computers.
I sold my switch that I stupidly bought when they first came out. People are still buying them and I got more than I expected. Switches with lower firmware numbers are probably worth more money due to jailbreaks and stuff but I didn’t research switch mods or anything.
Someone on the subreddit did a full band comparison. it seems like the hk variant is best for US customers this time around? I have really been loving it so far tho. Feels more premium than my p6 pro I upgraded from.
Ouch, no band 71 at all. That’ll hurt T-Mobile extended range and indoors as it is their largest low frequency band. The EU version at least supports one T-Mobile 5G band, and their largest at that (41).
Band 12 and 13 will help low band scenarios with AT&T and Verizon respectively. No band 14 means no AT&T service in rural areas like (my always go to example) western Nebraska where it is AT&T’s only low band frequency.
Definitely not the worst band support, but not great either.
Too bad the US is such a toxic environment for cool phones with all the carrier-induced “certification” they put in the way to prevent low-volume and niche manufacturers from bothering.
Definitely, I’m lucky that I live by a major metro and have had 0 issues with 5g coverage so far. I’m hoping that anywhere else I go I either won’t need 5g or will be able to use wifi
Without band 71 (used for both LTE and 5G depending on parts of the country) you’ll likely see more no service scenarios while rural, but if you’re primarily metro, those will be exceedingly rare.
Band 14 in the US is reserved for First Responders via First Net aka AT&T, and when the other bands get overloaded then it’s given use to regular consumers - if they have band 14. From my understanding. Because there aren’t many phones that have 14 on them sold outside of AT&T from what I find, unless band 14 access is a software adjustment, but that I don’t know.
In that case, is Google Play Services allowed to run in the background / unrestricted / whatever? It is the means to delivering notifications for most apps.
Agreed. I’d factory reset and see whether it improves things.
Under certain circumstances it’s possible that the service is getting killed due to lack of memory, but the FP3 has 4GB of RAM so that shouldn’t be happening. One could probably diagnose it with a detailed logcat. Unfortunately I don’t have the bandwidth to help.
Honestly, no. Whenever I see late notifications its usually on a degoogled phone
Usually, yes. But there is one exception: GrapheneOS. Since it allows you to use Sandboxed Google Play services, notifications work just like on any other Android device, you just need to disable battery optimization for Play services. But unfortunately it is only compatible with Google Pixel devices.
I pay for YouTube because it does give more revenue than watching an ad to the creators. I pay 6$ and watch hundreds of hours monthly. If it was more than that I will consider alternatives and AdBlock (what I was doing before started my sub). To each their own :)
Some do, others don’t and as someone else said i am not going to make Patreon and do monthly sub to each of them. As I said I watch hundreds of hours per month and it’s not from 4-5 creators. For me it’s worth - I pay for the infrastructure and some support for the people I watch. If it’s free for you it means someone else is paying.
It’s still Google, which is basically just another EvilCorp Inc. Probably donating more directly to the creator would give them more money than going through Google.
It’s the equivalent of $16.50 a month where I live and that is not an insignificant proportion of my monthly income. The adverts are constantly repeating and often for products and services that are actual scams. I firmly believe as soon as enough people pay… we’ll have to pay more or they will show us a smaller number of “specially selected” ads.
$20 month for family music streaming plus the insane amount of good content is a bargain. Y’all just want to be salty they are forcing you to stop freeloading 🤣.
YouTube was built on illegal content and still has a buttload of illegal content and Google knows it but won’t do anything about it. Let’s not call the kettle black.
If they really want to be serious about it fine, turn it into paid-only access. It will neatly solve the whole ad debacle and they won’t have to play cat and mouse with VPNs and blocking and all these shenanigans.
Ask yourself why they don’t do that. It’s because 90% of the content on there is illegal and when they host it for free they have an excuse. But if they turn the whole thing private and ask for money to access it they become liable for all of it.
Lol. Yeah it’s all fresh or properly sourced material.
Go search for any music video. You should be finding exactly one (1) official entry. In some cases there are legit live recordings + montage that should also be only one of.
Instead there are dozens or hundreds, and most of them are not transformative enough to qualify for fair use. Google knows which ones are there illegaly because they are clearly able to identify and demonetize them.
But why not straight out delete them, or tell the uploader to delete them or else? Because they want to have lots of content regardless if it’s legit, and they want to show ads, just as long as it goes to the right people.
They can put ads on questionable content that’s free to watch as long as they’re ready to remove it if and when asked, but they can’t sell a product based on questionable content. It comes too close to what piracy websites are doing.
I’m just explaining why Google can’t put YouTube behind a paywall. It’s fine as long as it’s an open platform. If it becomes a paid product it raises the bar.
When Google stops deciding which content creators matter and which don’t, I’ll pay. When I can have my subscriptions feed un-fucked with by their political agenda, I’ll pay. When my home feed doesn’t send me the same goddamn rich kids videos as suggestions for months on end like there’s some chance I just overlooked them and they’re slightly related to my interests, I’ll pay. YouTube is complete garbage. Some of those content creators can have my money. YouTube cannot.
If the France sports dns blocking has proved anything it’s that most people just don’t bother. And if it doesn’t work just accept it instead of just changing a DNS setting in a computer.
It was enough to convince a few others to do the same, however pointless it is. They’ve been told before, but don’t care either way and will keep doing it.
Of course I agree with the comment. I take all my copyright advice from random comments on the internet. Especially the ones that use expletives. Those are the best comments to take advice from.
Ah probably. The auto mode is pretty good, the photos look more natural than my pixel or the wife’s galaxy, but it’s also harder to just point and click to get a good photo every time.
