Just buy a kindle then pirate the boots or buy them from somewhere that just gives you the physical file. Of course that requires actually knowing how to plug a USB stick into your computer (assuming these people know how to turn it on).
That's what I do. All of my pirated stuff is kept on my computer + backedup
Smartphones will never live up to the personality of J2ME era feature phones IMO
I still have a Galaxy S7, and it's stuff like this that makes me terrified of the idea of it breaking down because it's as if newer smartphones are becoming more actively hostile towards the user.
And what do you know, Discord is about to be bought out by Microsoft the same way they did Skype. Shame Congress is allergic to the Sherman act in the 21st century.
are they also going to let it rot / fuck it up like they did to skype?
As long as I still have Windows Messenger, MSN Messenger, and Lync I'll be fine.
At least on my phone you can unlock with pin by swiping down on the screen(press power, swipe down). I've noticed that when I've boozed my hands with sanitizer the fingerprint reader refuses to let me in.
That's generally encrypted through a TSM; I would assume, so I don't think it would do any good.
Same with security questions. There's that very old and tired joke that you need to remember to change your mothers maiden name every three months.
That's because the clean version of you isn't the real you.
There are much better e-readers out there not encumbered by Amazon bullshit. I like my Onyx Boox Note 3 despite the retarded spelling. Big screen, dual-color backlight, pen, runs regular Android (and supports Play Store and sideloaded apps), lots of storage, and cheerfully eats all the formats available on my friendly neighborhood Library Genesis mirror. Pricier than the el-cheapo Kindle model, but it's a much better product.
Welcome to the world of 5G where your phone is going to be turned off and you're going to be forced to buy one of these shitphones that rape your mind with utter bullshit because we live in Clown World.
As far as I'm concerned if somebody gets a clean imprint of the right finger that's still legit and functionally the same as the real finger, it's like if I left my password written on a post-it note and somebody got in using that. Attempt limits do nothing to stop that form of breach, they only really stop casual intruders from checking all the obvious passwords and their permutations, and so far as I know nobody's doing the fingerprint equivalent of that yet. It aggravates me that this tech is sold as some upgrade in security because fingerprints are unique, but at least on android the system is still set up as though I could have the fingerprint version of "password1" or "12345" and need to be protected from myself.
WPM metrics for coding makes no sense. Are these people paid by the line? I wouldn't want to touch any codebase that's written that way.
