@ErnestZamelczyk @sameeraswdotcom ADB is useful not just for development. It's the fastest and most reliable way to copy files to/from the device. Easy to install apps. Allows you to grant some permissions needed by more advanced apps. Gives you logcat access, etc. ADB is the first thing I enable on a new phone.

@WinRAR_RARLAB @BusyTadpole It's probably worth mentioning that somewhere on the page people see when they go to buy it. 🙂 I imagine you lose out of some percentage of sales from home users because of that.

[Björn Lundén @bjlunden]

@WinRAR_RARLAB I finally read the license and just now realized that "Single PC usage license" actually means you're allowed to use it on all your own computers if you're a home user. 😄 That prevented me from buying it a few years ago, something I have now rectified! 👍

@geerlingguy Can you provide some examples? I have yet to come across a device that doesn't either just work or happily runs IPv4-only on a dual-stack network.

[Björn Lundén @bjlunden]

@BattlefieldComm I just received it today finally. Awesome! 😀

[Björn Lundén @bjlunden]

@BattlefieldComm Nope, still nothing for many of us who were impacted. ☹️

[Björn Lundén @bjlunden]

@BattlefieldComm Wow, that was more than I expected. 😀 Now I'll just have to hope it actually shows up on my account eventually.

@witherornot1337 @davepl1968 Interesting. Am I looking at PID ranges or something else? 🙂

[Björn Lundén @bjlunden]

@Carlos74962907 @davepl1968 I've never heard of that. Got any details? 🙂

[Björn Lundén @bjlunden]

@sanityenvoy @davepl1968 That was my understanding too at the time, and I still believe that was the case.

[Björn Lundén @bjlunden]

@ocornut @davepl1968 My understanding was always that Windows XP Pro Corporate Edition simply didn't have phone home functionality initially.

[Björn Lundén @bjlunden]

@SiddharthMBB @davepl1968 No, as the name suggests, KMSPico is a reverse engineered reimplementation of the KMS activation server normally meant to run on a corporate network to reactivate machines at minimum every 180 days. Feel free to read the MS documentation for KMS. 🙂

[Björn Lundén @bjlunden]

@GrapheneOS Yes, moving to quarterly security patch releases is a very bad idea. It will only lower security overall. 🙁

[Björn Lundén @bjlunden]

@ArtemR Alright. 🙂

[Björn Lundén @bjlunden]

@ArtemR Can you confirm that it's limited to 160 MHz channel width on 6 GHz WiFi? Google's specs don't specify, and the Pixel demo app on store units claim it's limited to WiFi 6E.

[Björn Lundén @bjlunden]

@ssamat Then please let those of us who don't want/need training wheels on our phones opt-out of this requirement. I've been using Android since 1.5 and have yet to install a single malware. If I wanted to be treated like I'm clueless, Apple is an option.

[Josh Hendrickson @CanterRain]

So after playing around with it a bunch to see what I can do, I have some pretty complicated feelings about the Spotify Car Thing at this point. Obviously the entire sequence of events sucks. But I do see one thing being incorrectly stated by a lot of journalists and YouTubers.

[Björn Lundén @bjlunden]

@TheBlakeZone @anerdguynow That's why it's the first thing you disable. Utterly useless feature. There is a registry hack to disable it and at least used to be a GPO as well. It also used to be a simple UI option, but it was removed.

[Björn Lundén @bjlunden]

@zacbowden To add insult to injury, the new app also has ads.

[Björn Lundén @bjlunden]

@ArtemR Nice to see them cutting down needless overhead during the install process. 😀 It has certainly been frustratingly slow in the past.
