besselj@lemmy.cato PC Gaming@lemmy.ca•'Just make a very good game': Sloclap dismisses the idea that online games need to be free-to-playEnglish11·18 days agoFree-to-play is just a ploy for future value extraction.
I typically go out of my way to avoid F2P games. I’d rather pay once for a game, rather than be stuck with a live service that constantly nags about subscriptions or microtransactions.
I’m still learning how to use it as well, but the basic methodology is to lookup the github page for the app you want to install and add the app to Obtanium using that github link. This is where f-droid comes in handy for finding github pages. Default settings are usually good enough if you don’t know what they do.
I’ve been told that its unnecessary to use the App Verifier to check apps installed through github, but you can still do it if the SHA signature is available on their github.
I use Obtanium since it’s apparently more secure than f-droid. F-droid is still a good place to search for FOSS and privacy-respecting apps. For anything that I can’t install through Obtanium, I’ll use the Play Store.

The TX power didn’t change much unless the board antenna was poorly matched to begin with. Angle the board so that the other device is in the null of the radiation pattern and the range becomes awful

Sometimes sharks eat the rich. Good to know.
besselj@lemmy.cato Canada@lemmy.ca•Canada updates travel advice to warn of U.S. border officers' power to search electronic devices20·27 days agoOne good strategy that I heard was to back up your phone to the cloud, wipe it before traveling and only put essential apps, then load the backup once you’re past the border.
Helps to keep a low profile on social media too.
That’s what a sealion would say
