Had this experience today. It was incredibly frustrating. Had to meme about it since I can't get approval for my fix until tomorrow at 9am in another meeting.

It was in response to the Naomi Brockwell post she did on Twitter about businesses using WiFi, Bluetooth and Location Services to track you in public locations. You can Google it directly "NBTV Advice from Defcon" or this link: https://nbtv.substack.com/...
Kroger owns a few chains outside of their main name so here's a short list of their sub-companies to avoid as well:
"* Supermarkets – Kroger, Ralphs, Dillons, Smith’s, King Soopers, Fry’s, QFC, City Market, Owen’s, Jay C, Pay Less, Baker’s, Gerbes, Harris Teeter, Pick ‘n Save, Metro Market, Mariano’s

Just wait until you get to Transunion's site. It is a dumpster fire of consisting of the worst sign up I've ever seen, "Contact our social team" and "If you haven't logged in for awhile create a new account. I could not believe how awful it was. I had to just call and do it over the phone.
This is very important and deserves its own post. Resellers typically either don't specify or don't know if the bootloader is unlockable on a Pixel so the buyer has to find out for themselves. Sadly "Unlocked" in an eBay post often refers to the carrier rather than the bootloader. Thanks for mentioning this!
The nice thing about Linux is that you don't have to use these niche distros. Windows users either had to deal or learn computer OS procedures to move on. I'm sure Shadowfetch will disappear into the ether soon enough.
This used to be the case but Google is actively working to kill unlocking the bootloader on their devices (and all devices really) through their Play Integrity Validation. So while you may be able to install ROMs and add Gapps you'll slowly find that less and less apps from the Play Store will work due to stricter integrity requirements from Google; even if you bought the app. The current hoops required to run a custom OS and not be detected by the new framework is daunting with many landmines like people installing software they don't understand to get "Strong" integrity or paying for keyboxes that ultimately get banned.
Google is quickly becoming developer unfriendly and I would encourage people to look into the mess that is Play Integrity before suggesting Pixels, or any Android for that matter, in the context of custom ROMs.
I actually wrote a guide myself around the same time this superhero Valve employee was writing this script. I got to test it out after I got my setup working and the script ran saying, "Success!" Which admittedly made me laugh because after 5 days of working on it using sources from Reddit, Discord and Steam it really did feel like a success.
Love this list and I use Pear launcher currently on my Android 15 beta device. It has some quirks but overall I am happy with it over stock. Especially since I can add folders to the bottom bar.
Archinstall works until it doesn't. Recently I tried Luks and BTRFS more than 6 times leading to a script error each and every time. Could I have done something simpler and archinstall work? Possibly. But it offers those things out of the box and for it to fail each and every time ultimately led me back to the wiki to do it manually.
This is the BEST write up I have ever seen on the topic. Had no idea it was out there and explained a lot about the inner workings for security I wasn't expecting.
I posted about this in another thread, but "Exodus" made by Archetype studios, is comprised of some of the Mass Effect devs from Bioware and it comes out next year. It looks to do what Mass Effect did. I'll support them for sure since they are a smaller studio trying to keep the spirit of Mass Effect alive even if it is with new characters and worlds.
I liked it at first because I thought it would let my bypass the horrendous on-screen keyboard. Then I learned that these things are likely recording even when the button isn't pressed and I decided on this project. I'll take garbage on-screen keyboard over eavesdropping remotes any day.
I actually came here to echo this exact sentiment. I was on Lastpass until their first breach and then on Bitwarden both cloud and self-hosted until a few months ago when I set up with Proton. I liked Bitwarden so I put off trying ProtonPass. One weekend I set it up and ended up putting my 2FA items in as well. It feels absolutely seamless to use. The email aliasing for websites is so easy for making new website accounts. In my desktop and laptop browser the way it automatically offers to autofill the 2FA is so clean. I can't see myself going back unless Proton gets prohibitively more expensive or the product declines in usability/security. If you are currently using Proton's suite of apps give Protonpass a try. You can easily import from Last pass/Bitwarden and use both to compare side by side.
Do people not like Organic Maps anymore? I used that for a long while but none of the people on here seem to recommend it. I will admit, it did handle street addresses poorly to certain locations. But it was much better than OsmAnd.
You noted on the phone hardware but not the software so I'll comment on that. Recently OnePlus has announced as of Android 16 that they will restrict bootloader unlocking to only those who fill out an application.
Nothing Phone 3 and all prior Nothing phone bootloader are still unlockable to this day with no call to restrict it. I would know, I have a Nothing Phone 3 running Shizuku and am waiting for Google to move Play Integrity off of its Kanban board so I can root again. Their forums have a strong development presence and as far as I'm concerned this is the one of the last good holdouts on this new restriction standard.
Pixel was the de facto standard for unlocked bootloaders. However, Google is the core of the "registered developers only" movement for their phones, killing sideloading and removing Pixel images from the development models in AOSP. I no longer support new Pixels (certain used ones are still good, don't get the 6 series though they are BAD).
thanks for using Leebra!
