Step 1. Never connect it to the Internet. Step 2. Connect Linux machine. Step 3. Profit.

Wow this sounds a lot like my outlook with Ff7 remake. I begrudgingly bought it on steam when it was on “sale” for the still too high price of $40, and when it was good it was great, but other than one mission it is just the story of Final Fantasy VII up through Midgar with a stupid amount of boring fetch quests to pad the time. Saying it is maybe 33% fun engaging game/story 67% boring fetch missions or “go kill this boring monster” over there is in my opinion being very charitable.

It is my opinion that it should be legal to paint said stripes on someone’s car if they park over the line. Should really hammer just how much of an asshole someone is if they have multitudes of stripes.

I thought a hacked 3DS couldn’t play original NDS games without one of those ROM cards for the original DS. Can you run original DS games without it now?

With that being said, as others have said, a DNS is like a phone book. By using PiHole with it going to a privacy respecting DNS service, you in theory eliminate being tracked by a DNS provider, but you do nothing to prevent your isp from tracking which ip addresses you access, and you do nothing to prevent search engines tracking which results you click on, you do nothing to prevent your web browser from tracking your browsing (especially on Chrome and Edge).

In summary:

DNS lookups: yes

ISP with IP addresses: no you would need a GOOD VPN or TOR and either one properly configured

Web browser: no, you need at least Firefox with data collection turned off, preferably with something like ublock installed.

Search engine: no, requires more research but supposedly duckduckgo and eccosia are privacy respecting *citation required

Achievement unlocked! Downvote the tyrant!

That is either a brilliant troll, or an hilarious catch by user Sara7061.

I think a lot of it has to do with the constant updating bug. I burned through 50gb’s of data in a few days using the webpage, where the apps sip data. I really wish Android had a “hey, something is burning!” for data usage like that…

I had an issue signing in, but it turned out my keyboard was adding a space at the end.

I could not agree more about the allergy ratio. The only justification I can give is the navigation buttons are gone, so that makes up for then being on screen.

I remember when wider aspect ratios were being pushed, before bezel-less displays, and Samsung had a very large radius for their curved screens, and the phones felt very stretched out. Honestly I would be happy with 16:9 to 19:9 and zero curve, but I am a sucker for the best cameras and most usable zoom.

Oops. Too late now.

At least here, I am apparently in the minority. I have an S22 Ultra, and I would legitimately take a much larger phone. I estimate I could use up to a 8.5" screen version of the S22U, but that would be the absolute max size I would use.

I do think if someone made a proper small high end phone they could sell them like hotcakes. Maybe make it just thick enough to accommodate a large enough battery.
