With the default settings, the latest versions of PayPal only require disabling secure app spawning.
It may also require dynamic code loading via storage, dynamic code loading via memory and native debugging being permitted but those aren't blocked for user installed apps by default. People can opt-in to those being enabled by default for user installed apps similarly to memory tagging, but memory tagging has the biggest positive impact.
What Pixel do you have? Modem quality varies and signal strength could play a role. My 9a gets hot in areas with poor reception but is fine at work where I get over a gigabit down.
I haven't been updating AUR packages since the initial incident. Thankfully hadn't updated for a week prior to it. Tonight I'll be uninstalling all the AUR packages I possibly can.
I'm a GrapheneOS user. The duress passcode feature will reboot the phone to a "corrupted data" screen, so it's pretty obvious that it's been used to render data inaccessible.
They've been available natively on Nightly with some basic UI support since they were first implemented a decade ago. Some other pre-release builds have them too but it's been too long and I cannot remember which ones did or didn't.
I don't use Nightly and I've been using containers for I think that long without any extension for it.
Edit: looks like I enabled them manually and couldn't remember/find it, it's in about:config under the name "privacy.userContext" instead of "containers".
as far as i remember, the low level container functionality was always in the core browser. what the extension adds is the UI to manage containers. with this change it appears the UI is merged back into the core browser.
It's been there just as long, turn it on with "privacy.userContext.ui.enabled" and manage them at "about:preferences#containers"
The addons added extra functionality but everything they've listed in this announcement is already there. Sounds like they're just flipping these two flags by default.
If you're using something Fire Stick/Android TV, TizenTube Cobalt has been great for me and my family. It has an ad blocker, Sponsorblock, Dearrow, and a few other goodies.
Why would anyone “buy” movies from PlayStation. That’s not their business, I would never have expected them to be in it for the long haul, just like MS did a rug pull on this a few years ago didn’t they?
Why not? Maybe people already have an account there with payment set up, the console hooked up to the TV and soundbar and don't want do sign up somewhere else?
Furthermore, Sony Pictures is huge, so selling movies is absolutely part of Sony's business as a whole.
Who would buy movies use a TV subscription service from a laptop computer manufacturer? Or a company that sells telephones? What, are they watching movies on their old Western Electric Model 102? That'd be ridiculous.
Convenience? Maybe a belief the media would be accessible for a long time, versus the ever-changing catalog available from streaming services?
Consumers are lured into walled-gardens all the time - consoles, app stores, hardware. Where would you suggest someone purchase a digital license for a movie?
Being a media player was an integral part of Playstation since the PS2 era. The PS3 was essentially the thing that really pushed Blu-Ray over the line to really cement Blu-Ray as a movie format over HD-DVD.
Movie playback has been a thing for home consoles for decades. It became kind of a joke that the most played Xbox 360 game was Netflix. As more people have moved to streaming media/digital marketplaces, its only natural for those to grow. I've known lots of people who use their Xbox as their main media center that consume movies on Microsoft's storefront. It makes sense Sony would be in the game as well, as after all they even directly produce a lot of content themselves.
Why would anyone buy movies from another service or use another device, when they already have a console that meets their needs and that they paid a premium for? There's no such thing as multitasking, so if you try to play a game while watching a movie, you're doing each in small increments, and neither well.
Anecdotal, but I've never had issues with any game outside of competitive shooters that require kernel-level anticheats. If you're not playing those, it could be worth a try.
