Yeah nah, I’ve had updates turned off for years and have no issues. All I do is game on my windows comp
You can keep using win10 without security updates, just be smart about it. Have a good firewall, and just use it for gaming and bills or whatever and you’ll be fine
You’d think after the 3rd fried steamdeck they’d look to see if the problem is elsewhere
By definition you’re clean when you use it. If you hang it to dry it’s perfectly fine to use more than once
You know what they say: itty bitty baby, itty bitty boat.
You had me at first but lost me at the end. Social anxiety and low self confidence is the opposite of egotistic
Ah, the ol Lemmy switcharoo
…and GrapheneOS considers my phone end-of-life and support for it will eventually stop. So unless you just got a brand new Pixel… kind of a waste.
Hard disagree. Just because it stops receiving updates doesn’t suddenly make it useless
I can see it, 196 gets a little spicy around critical events
I park in neutral since I like to sit for a few seconds, and 9 times out of 10 I’m going to be backing out anyway
It’s not just you
You can probably disable it with a custom install, like Cortana
Even if it did, it would extrude your brain out like a can of pillsbury biscuits
Legit question: for the average person, why would this matter? Like congrats copper, you can see my text messages to my mom, and my receipts in my email, and my pictures of my pets. If someone’s actually doing crime, then a password should be the least of their security measures.
I’m in the same boat as you and it drives me up a wall. I’ve found a solution and love getting 2-day battery life out of my 5 year old phone.
I swear by Greenify and use it religiously. It programmatically force-closes all of your apps that you don’t use, so that they don’t send broadcasts to each other like the other comments mentioned. There are only system apps running on my phone at all times, unless I specifically open other ones.
With “sensors off” toggled on, no GPS or auto-rotate, the only thing that triggers apps to open is changing networks or receiving a notification.
Sooo I was kinda in your shoes a few months ago, and decided I really needed to do something about it before I lost my goddam mind. What I’m doing (and it’s kinda working) is to find a community that interests you, and persistently be involved in it. I personally found a streamer on Twitch and a few Discord communities, and hang out with those people by generally just being there and having small interactions with others. We watch the same things and play the same games in voice chat. It really helps to have some sort of common activity that you can comment on and springboard your experiences or stories. You don’t have to be that guy that’s obnoxious and in everyone’s face, just pay attention to the people in these groups and be super friendly. I’ve found a few acquaintances and am working on knowing them better to become friends. You’ll remember names and interesting things about them, or be like me and take notes so you don’t forget lmao. Eventually, they’ll say “Hi <name!> It’s nice to see you again. How was your day?” and then you know you’re on the right track.
Socializing is hard, especially when you’re not used to it and in this online era. If you’re friendly and attentive, people will reflect that energy back to you, and you will form bonds. Good luck!
I’ve heard the term used reffering the fetish about 3000x more than I’ve heard it used referring to a disability
Graphics chips melting is my main gripe
I monitor my web traffic through my router and my processor and disk activity, I’m confident.
