not called Brad but rather a lad, from Bradford in the UK.

Enjoys breaking apps, escooters, spam rings and sometimes bones, but not my own. That sucks.

  • This kid-friendly something where rules are more strictly enforced and moderation could end up with the kid’s school being told about the kid saying the N word or whatever

    I remember entering an incorrect domain/regex to an Automod config once. Thankfully because I checked the logs often it only happened for a short while, and people didn’t get too mad.

    But then you have really incompetent operators like those censors over in Italy and Spain with PiracyShield™ etc

    I mean - 30mins for them to block Google Drive nationwide is something I think no-one wants, without some level of accountability, but when you’ve got dickheads like me that can regex out Nigella Lawson Pr0n accidentally, is scary.



  • Why being MDM’ed would make it stolen?

    Because companies that have already implemented MDM on a device (which your friend has) will be the first to remove any trace of them on it (data protection/GDPR etc) and if it’s being sold still with the credentials of said company (with bonus malware?) you might want to poke around it a little.

    As the page above states - someone is in charge of that device still and can manipulate it as per the policies they introduced when locking the phone down to an entity.

    tldr: most thieves ask for FRP exploits etc to get around a MDM secured device.











  • It’s simply being able to swipe up/down/left/right on the radar to scan the different factors of weather coming it, especially when I’m going to work.

    I work outside all day long but also travel to work on an escooter too so knowing if it’s gonna be windy/pissing it down or, sunny (UK here, this is rare) factors in how I arrive by foot/scoot and what I need to wear that day.




  • Yeah, I’m lucky that I have the option of both gesture or three button nav of which, I still use the latter because it’s better for me.

    I was big on gestures back in the day with LMT and something I’ve found with MiuiOS is they now have that with Quick Ball as it’s called. It’s ace, and also a bit like AOSP Browser side gestures which I also used to use.

    Further, slightly off topic ranting? Yes, where I work they currently have an obsession with installing touchscreens on HMI panels to control machinery. Problem is the touch resolution on them is dogshit so peeps end up start trying to use with them with their pens etc and physically damage the screen.

    Before these touchscreen “interfaces”, we had nice IP68 physical buttons on a Siemens panel that did the very same functions. Sickens me how much they cost for a lower quality interface.
