If many devs would switch to it just as they did with M3 Expressive, I’m gonna quit Android and go touch some grass instead.

Many years ago I was using USB WiFi Modem through micro USB port on my tablet. Since that worked, my guess is USB to Ethernet should be recognized as well.

Does Slashdot have both up- and downvotes? And if both, do you give a reason for upvotes as well?

The only scenario where I see disabling downvotes as a good idea is when upvotes are disabled as well.

So you either:

• have only number of views (no up/down votes) so people don’t chase virtual points
• or there are both of them so that when combined they result in a fair rating.

Upvoting without downvoting doesn’t show if people like it, nor whether it is good or bad. It only shows that it reached a lot of people and is popular. And that can be achieved with views alone.

In FUTO keyboard you can customize whole layouts so you can add tab-space as well

Ok, I did test it.

1. I set up DNS server on my PC using Technitium.
2. I add zone a.local and add record with device A’s IP.
3. I add zone b.local and add record with device B’s IP.
4. On device A (Android 11) I go to Setting » WiFi and set DNS to PC’s IP.
5. On device B (Android 13) I go to Settings » WiFi and:
   • Change IP to static
   • Change both DNS1 and DNS2 to PC’s IP.
6. I ran some file served over http on both devices.
7. I visit http://a.local/ on device B ❯ A’s Files accessed
8. I visit http://b.local/ on device A ❯ B’s Files accessed

Everything works.

Note:

• it took DNS server about 1min to add the records (idk why).
• It seems devices caches NAME_NOT_RELOVED so if it failed it will be cached as such for at least a few minutes.

I believe that using ipleak.net […] will not show you the internal DNS server you are using within your local network.

You’re right. It won’t show internal one. As I mentioned I don’t have internal DNS server set up, so I only used it to check whether changing DNS in wifi settings will actually take effect, and it did. That’s why I believe setting it to internal one should take effect as well.

I may try to setup custom DNS in my local network when I have some free time.

I visited http://ipleak.net/ to check which dns is used.
In Termux nslookup will use 8.8.8.8, but I suspect it takes it from Termux environment that doesn’t sync with android settings.

I don’t have a custom DNS server configured, but that’s what I tested:

• Went to Settings » Connections and Share » Private DNS - made sure it is off (it takes priority when set)
• Went to Settings » WiFi » [My local network] » DNS1 and entered my router’s IP

After that it started to use my ISP’s DNS servers (preconfigured in router) instead of CloudFlare 1.1.1.1 (what was default on my android when connecting to WiFi

Not sure about e/OS but generally on android you can set DNS when connecting to Wifi.
So you should be able to change that in Settings » WIFI » [Your local network] » DNS

Is there a way to filter out system apps?

But you need to create account first :|

It’s for modifying applications to remove or add some features. Like removing adds and suggested content or giving users access to internal storage of apps. All patches should be listed on their website if you are curious what it can do.

WTF. In the past I updated my tablet and after that it started to discharge within two days (not a week as it used to). The only way to fix it was to clear cache partition. And now they are removing that option.

I never had a need for such app, but I guess if you search for “CCTV” in the store you will find a few. That one looks promising for example.

Just keep in mind that videos quickly grow in volume, so you need a fair amount of free space to keep recording for the whole night.

I doubt it shows noise in dB, but you can try to start some app for measuring dB and record the screen instead (?)

Stealth Audio Player can do exactly that. There is “Activate for ALL APPS” option.

You can install alternative app to handle sharing. Sharedr for example.

But it won’t work on android 12+
(unless you remove system intent resolver)

Based on GrapheneOS’s response in this thread, I understand that freezing apps might be completely unnecessary

Link in that part doesn’t work but is it really that bothersome to use Hail with Shizuku? You only need to re-enable shizuku after reboot. I don’t restart my phone too often so it is not a problem for me.

In my case I rooted my device once to try some fancy things. It was fun but then I never bothered with rooting again. Most things that I need can be done with Shizuku/ADB and/or app patches.

If you really need it not to be killed, you can always open split screen before opening the second app, or just open it in free-form mode. But this is more of a workaround than solution.

Nothing wrong with it. It is just an alternative, for those who are more concerned about privacy and security than an average user.
