Yep, it seems to be working now. Thanks for fixing it!

Well, let’s get crackin’ then! 👊

Agreed. Something is better than nothing, and if enough people get on board, it might just be enough to make a difference.

Windows causes poor software performance. In other news, water is wet.

That was my experience as well. 2 hard drives, so I thought, why not dual boot? Surely, I’d need windows for some reason or another.

6 months later, I realized the same thing - I have a 1 TB drive doing nothing. I nuked it and never looked back.

I got curious about x86 assembly, so I followed some tutorials to get the hang of it. Once I had some confidence, I wrote a prime number generator. I had a loop that I was sure could be more efficient, but couldn’t figure it out.

I pasted the code to ChatGPT. It came back with an optimization that wouldn’t work because it wasn’t preserving critical register values. I pointed that out, and it responded, again and again, with the same code with the same problem. I was never able to get it out of this broken record mode.

I did the same thing. I also asked it to stop coming off as so certain about things after I discovered how wrong it is on some topics. It now presents confidence levels, but who knows if that’s accurate. At least it reminds me to verify.

Oh, neat! Message received: if I eat enough beans, I can be my own creme brulee torch!

Hello, this is the IRS. You are delinquent $10,000. This is payable with iTunes gift cards. If you do not comply, straight to jail.

Great! 👍

That’s fair. Privacy and security generally come at some cost of convenience. Everyone has their own personal balance.

Not currently. It will require Google to’allow’ tap-to-pay on Graphene. Other NFC functions work fine.

For my use, it’s not a big deal. Tapping my card is easy enough

Exploit Protection Compatibility Mode. It’s a setting that relaxes this particular security enhancement for a given app.

It’s worth knowing that NFC payments do not work with Graphene currently.

While this tends to be true, the vast majority of the banking app incompatibilities are overcome with a simple app-specific toggle.

It’s all fun and games until you graduate, and your employers realize you don’t know shit and can’t get up to speed.

I’m an engineer and it’s easy to pick out the ones who haven’t put in the work. They simply don’t last. Sure, some can skate by like that and are smart enough to learn on the fly. I’m cool with that.

Hell yeah fuck yeah. Thank you, Canada!

Yeah, because of course this is the only single issue liberals might be angry about…

I love it when they serve 2 per taco. The filing is always more than enough for 1, so I split it across the extra tortilla. Double tacos FTW!

I’d lean toward the way you have it now. I like having the owner profile as my daily driver. Any app that I have doubts about gets its own profile.

If you haven’t already, check out the Graphene forum and search for profiles. There have been lots of discussions about this, and you’ll find some good examples for various privacy/security needs.

I’ve had the opposite experience. I’m on a Pixel 8 running Graphene. So far today (8.5 hours since last charge), I’m at 87%. The screen time meter says 90 minutes of screen time since last charge. I’ve been running Bluetooth for about 4 hours, and WiFi full time.

I’d typically be under 60% at this point when I was on stock Android.
