Google certainly seems to do this when it comes to chat applications. Ironically though, they've actually (arguably) lost marketshare - they went from gtalk being pretty widely used (in the late 2000s, early 2010s, as Android took off)

Yes, real-time aircraft are in the latest MSFS based on their real-world movements, with correct callsigns and flight numbers, if you turn the option on for real-world traffic.

It looks like the developer may be in the EU. If they offer the add-on as a business, it may be worth looking at if any of the internet rights legal groups will help take the case up under the 2019 EU platform rules. https://eur-

Yes, ironically the networks is more secure when people do what you did, as you reduce the number of devices exposed to the "broadcast/multicast storm babble", and avoid contributing to it further. There's an awful lot

I've seen a whole high performance shadow network running behind NAT before, in order to get around the issue you describe. It worked fairly well as the NAT router was presenting a WAN MAC address from a device that had already been &q

Step 1 in a university - find out who runs shadow IT in your area, and get your computer wiped and reinstalled with the OS of your choice, with local admin rights (and if Windows, not domain joined). I've seen "official IT" g

I can go one step further, based on what I've seen - "Shadow IT" that has its own help-desk line and ticketing system... Running their own LAN with interconnects to "main IT". The end result is that nobody ever lets

A good point actually - from a legal perspective this is tricky. Generally the publisher claims copyright over the arrangement that is "published". Photocopying the printed version would therefore be problematic. With digital form

The (accepted and legal) "norm" these days is to post an author pre-print in an institutional open-access repository - check out "green open access" (versus gold open access). It's not ideal though, but search engin

If a university wants the work to count towards the targets it is measured by by government, or if it receives certain types of public funding (which is pretty much most of it), there's an expectation in the UK for it to be open access

The EU's upcoming digital services act and digital marketplaces act look to try to actual regulate these platforms. That could get interesting.

Not without root. Assuming by developer mode you mean to enable adb connectivity, you'll still need root in order to gain access to dd the filesystem. To root "well made" phones, you need to unlock the bootloader, and this wi

This sounds like you are having an issue with the notifications. Does your server support IMAP IDLE? I'm wondering whether K9 is polling for email, and the server isn't supporting push messages via IDLE.

Interesting - I've not been able to reproduce this on a Pixel 3a or 4a 5G. FairEmail, with foreground notification, doesn't have any issues delivering notifications. As you say, Google is making it a lot harder, but FE with a fore

Out of interest, do you use a phone with a custom OEM firmware that has battery-saving features. I've seen issue with FairEmail (and other well-behaved foreground-service using apps) on some OEMs' firmwares. Heck, sometimes even b

In FairEmail, the "preview" is to show you exactly what URL is about to be opened, and give you the chance to force it to HTTPS, or remove known tracking parameters from it. It also warns you prominently if the link's text di

I haven't had any issues on Android 11 with FairEmail using a foreground service. I believe that the changes coming in 12 are able to be worked around though, and at minimum a version distributed outside of the Play Store won't be

I assume they're referring to TLS client certificate authentication support. As you say, most email clients can handle TLS. Few can handle authenticating to the server with a client certificate, but FairEmail seems to support it fine,

Just checked on mine and no FairEmail email account is listed in the accounts list in Android - it's all handled in-app.

Yes, this is probably the biggest feature of FairEmail. If your server supports IDLE, it will work well. I've got it working with 3 different backend mail servers, and I'm told by friends that it actually receives mail faster than

You can view email headers in FairEmail by opening an email, then using the "..." menu above the message text, and selecting "show headers".

You're right, but I fear we have built up an ecosystem of talent that sees the world in one of two very binary ways. One camp assumes if you don't expose it to the internet, and keep it on-prem, it's secure. Think exchange se

It's in the GDPR - right to data portability (and associated sections). I guess that's as close to a data bill of rights as we have right now.

This is my question - unless this ties in with a model to rely on trusted computing, a system receiving a FLoC shouldn't be able to validate it. That means a browser plugin could simply return "0000". Unless this ends up as s

Indeed, there's a couple of data points suggesting that when users are asked for informed consent for tracking, only around 9% agree. That was true across both the UK information commissioner's website, as well as a small commerci
