Actually, I’m not really sure why I have my VPN on at all times. I guess I just want all my online traffic to be encrypted, including when I come accross some host that doesn’t support https. It’s not so much a technical reason at this point. Perhaps a philosophical one? As in, I want my daily conversations to be overheard only by those whom I interact with.

No idea, but I put it out as a bundle with a few games, controllers and such for $100 and within 24 hours nine people have saved it. I have absolutely no evidence to back this up, but I’m imagining that it’ll go for 150 - 200.

Creepy. 🤣 It’s precisely what I’m selling and what I’m being asked about: a launch day Switch (European, if that matters). I of course gave them the number.

Sweet! About ten years ago, I did want to mod my 3DS with an HDMI connector. Perhaps that being possible was just an urban legend? It would’ve been so cool to play Smash Bros 3DS on a big screen, back then.

Were there any performance benefits that came with modding Nintendo consoles or was it “just” region unlocking?

<3 there is still good in this world

This made me smile. Thanks! 😁

Ah. I see. Then I’m relieved! :D

I had no idea. 😅 I wonder how hard/fun it is to mod consoles, as opposed to fiddle with single board computers.

Ah, got it! Thanks! :)

Sweet! Thanks!

Sweet! I’ll check it out tonight! :D <3

Thanks! It’s already debloated with UAD-NG. Even some “unsafe” packages with careful experimentation.

Thank you very much for all the detailed advice! :D

I didn’t mention it in the OP, but I am not logged in to either a Google or a Samsung account. The only apps I use the Play Store for is USB Audio Player and an electronic ID app that a lot of government related everyday chores require… If and when my threat model requires me to silo it off, I’ll get Pixel and bump up my privacy. 😊

I know this isn’t a degoogle community, but just for reference, these are my apps, which I manage with Obtainium:

That is so… Interesting? 😅 What do they have to gain by blocking their own IPs/locations but not the neighboring country’s…

Are you trying to say that I’m leaving a fingerprint by using a VPN? How? My threat model doesn’t require me to hide the fact that my real identity is using one.

i2p here we come.

Online anonymity is not appreciated by authorities, it would seem…

Not all websites support https.

Thanks, I’m going to check that out! I’m doing a fresh reset on the phone with just termux installed, so it shouldn’t be a problem.
