7a here and the battery is the worst out of any phone I've ever had. Like, I've seen it go from 100% to 66% in 3-4 hours when it's not even in-use. I've actively told people not to buy this phone because of it. Which is ridiculous, as it's a decent phone. I had a 5 before this and was getting days out of it still (after 2.5-3 years)
Can you reformat that drive as exFAT? That should remove NTFS as being a reason to keep Windoze around (and even if you do need Windoze, it should be able to read that format fine as well).
Code storage. They're keeping bugzilla.
Bard to the rescue (or it's just flat out lying, it does that a lot to me, with confidence).
That's unexpected.
I've never thought about it before. In the UK getting your balance is on every ATM. The ATMs are all different makes and models, interfaces, OSes, different banks, etc. the only thing I can think of that is the same is they are all connected to LINK - maybe they have set standards for what they should all have/have not?
Anti-feature: you must enter your PIN before it shows you the menu. Does that mean it connects to my bank even in the absense of a transaction?
This is the same in the UK. They request your PIN immediately after putting in your card (althogh I think if you use a credit card it will prompt for your language first), but it doesn't use it until it needs to connect to your bank (I know this after knowingly mistakenly putting in my PIN, then attempting to get my balance or something and then the card is ejected and the message about incorrect PIN appears).
Using Privacy Badger (15 trackers blocked), uBlock Origin (29 blocked - this keeps on increasing) and Consent-o-Matic (no idea how to check if this has done anything) I haven't seen a cookie prompt, thankfully.
I think an ever growing list isn't the best either. Probably makes more sense to utilise fail2ban which will manage your firewall rules appropriately.
The wifi worked fine for me on Fedora Asahi, macbook air m2.
THe UK is interesting considering how we're constantly told the nobility hold so much wealth.
Yep, I check the background apps fairly regularly ('cause I'm paranoid about this battery). I'm on 14 already, strangely, I did notice a difference for the first couple of days - but back to draining quickly after that. I use Firefox as my default browser too (with ublock, yes) - I don't browse on my phone a lot.
I took my phone off charge (100%) at 17:30 last night, used WhatsApp to text some friends off and on (like, 10-20 messages total) for the next 3-4 hours and it was at 50% by 22:00, I was not using my phone, I was watching TV. It went into DnD at 22:00, and then when I got up at 07:00 it was at 25%.
So that's 75% with very light usage, with DnD for ~9 hours, in just over 12 hours.
