02:00:52 <MrMobodies> Why should something like this:

02:00:56 <MrMobodies> Contain adverts
02:01:13 <MrMobodies> For games and other stuff but for basic utilities
02:01:38 <MrMobodies> why not just limit/ and make it shareware/inapp purchase
02:02:35 <MrMobodies> I am not fund and don't trust system utilities like these being linked to launch and facilitating adverts
02:02:45 <watcher> Hello MrMobodies
02:02:53 <MrMobodies> which can lead into vurnabilities
02:02:55 <MrMobodies> Hello
02:03:27 <MrMobodies> Unfortunately the old Samba tool from 2009 don't seem to work on Android 11, it starts up but mentions about root
02:03:46 <MrMobodies> which I did unlock and root it
02:03:53 <MrMobodies> it'd be nice to get that going
02:04:38 <MrMobodies> it's this one I have that works on my Samsung J5 Marshallow
02:04:39 <MrMobodies> https://samba-filesharing.en.download.it/android
02:04:39 <EEVBot> [url] Just a moment... | samba-filesharing.en.download.it
02:04:58 <MrMobodies> Long time ago I got it but didn't download if from there though
02:05:48 <MrMobodies> When I order things off ebay, I take pictures from the camera, and when things aren't right, item damaged, I just open up a link to the phone and download the pictures directly
02:07:55 <watcher> That is super need. I always wanted to setup some thing like that.
02:08:03 <watcher> Never did it.
02:08:11 <watcher> Dose it work also the other way?
02:08:50 * Vampera watches watcher watchily
02:12:41 <watcher> Hello Vampera
02:12:52 <Vampera> hi watcher
02:12:54 <Vampera> how are things
02:13:49 <MrMobodies> yes
02:13:56 <watcher> Good.
02:14:07 <MrMobodies> well it is something I'd expect from Android years ago
02:14:53 <MrMobodies> but no it says pretty loaded with things (not the bloat) much things I don't want and serve no value to mee
02:15:28 <watcher> There is a windows feature to get notification from chat app from andriod on windows. Dont't know if it can also tranfesr files
02:15:31 <MrMobodies> So that Samba tool works on
02:15:59 <MrMobodies> Android 6.0.1 SE 2017
02:16:42 <MrMobodies> I think using a custom rom I got from XDA stripped out of most of the Samsung stuff
02:17:58 <MrMobodies> If I brought this from new like this, it'd be like old times, like before and the early 2000's when I buy something from a shop and it does exactly what I want.
02:18:38 <MrMobodies> I see it, feel it, and see it in operation bring it back and no negative surprises.
02:18:59 <MrMobodies> and free to do what the hell I please
02:20:40 <watcher> MrMobodies: That is wat we want. stuff that we can control and hack on. But that just works.
02:21:53 <MrMobodies> I thought that was the principle of what Android was about.
02:22:21 <watcher> I have this thought lately that manifacuters need to be more like a open source project. In the snse that the source code is open to see for every body. You can flash you custom version of the software on the diveces you buy.
02:23:19 <watcher> And more in portaint the people a home can fix the shit that is not working and the manifactutor can upstream and mainline the code.
02:23:36 <MrMobodies> "Advanced thinkers for the mass majority." Mass majority=stupid and confused. Too dangerous for the mass majority. The mass majority don't use, copying over files directly, they need ("APPS on your PC", Like a parent with an East London accent down talking to their child ina patronising/condescending tone)
02:24:18 <MrMobodies> When unlocking the bootloader to install Lineageos samsung says oh you won't get updates etc
02:24:26 <MrMobodies> then it says "Only official roms allowed"
02:24:48 <MrMobodies> when attempting to install Linageos
02:25:06 <watcher> The bad thing about this is that it creates a insentive too not have inhouse poeple to fix there onw shit. But cause the commuity will fix is for them.
02:25:07 <MrMobodies> which defeats the purpose of OEM unlocking
02:26:14 <watcher> MrMobodies: there is a github repo tracking all the big and medium size phone brand about how open they are with rooting and custom rom stuff
02:28:57 <watcher> https://a.zli.li I found this for now
02:28:58 <EEVBot> [url] Bootloader List - BL List | a.zli.li
02:29:02 <MrMobodies> Thanks I'll take a look
02:30:56 <watcher> MrMobodies: I dont now if it is the exact seems repo but the infomation is all most the same
02:33:17 <MrMobodies> I have some old stuff that should run it, apparently Android 15 does not work with Opencamera I have, and I read the new one has ads in it
02:33:28 <MrMobodies> oh Samba thingy

02:33:34 <MrMobodies> So EASY!
02:34:00 <MrMobodies> One small "app" just to open a few ports and share a folder
02:34:24 <watcher> MrMobodies: I use a modded version of the google camera app. To make better pictures than the stock app.

02:35:01 <MrMobodies> I heard Android lock the ports down or did something to it to turn it on where you need to root it because of "security"

02:35:15 <MrMobodies> no choice to the user
02:35:18 <MrMobodies> ooooooh
02:35:25 <MrMobodies> excellent
02:35:46 <MrMobodies> Thanks, I;ll test that soon
02:35:49 <watcher> I just install it over adb and it works fine
02:37:28 <MrMobodies> here's a joke "Warranty After Unlock", they don't care about me in the first place.
02:38:24 <MrMobodies> The tablet given to me is over 5 years and if they cared about me they'd allow me to, disable andor/uninstall turn off Bixby, FREE and Dailyboard without using ABD.
02:38:59 <MrMobodies> without them popping out, opening a web browser and demanding I create and account and download other apps.... That Samsung Smart things.
02:39:48 <MrMobodies> Lernel source: opensource, now THAT'S what I expect
02:40:23 <MrMobodies> if I can replace the MISERABLE bootloader with that then I am home free to load what i like
02:42:42 <watcher> I never really looked in too it but would there not be a way to unlock the boatloader on andriod via a real hacker way.
02:42:51 <watcher> Like jailbreaking on ios?
02:48:27 Quit: watcher ([email protected]) The TLS connection was non-properly terminated.
02:49:16 <MrMobodies> I'd imagine that'd be at a time of when when I put that Vanillar rom on the Aandroid
02:49:33 <MrMobodies> when a program needs ROOT permissions to run it honors it, like that samba tool
02:50:23 <MrMobodies> like this Samsung Tablet with Android 11

02:52:40 <MrMobodies> The house of Evil at the end when the devil in the chair said "You won't find any repreive here"
02:52:47 <MrMobodies> the movie I mean
02:53:30 <MrMobodies> he wanted the man to bring him this cross so he could destroy it but the man refused and the devil emitted this high frequency pitch
02:54:04 <MrMobodies> and man covered his ears crying and begging to end it now, the devil said BEG! BEG! (me turn on OEM unlock)
02:54:25 <MrMobodies> on startup "we won't upgrade your OS anymore"
02:55:13 <MrMobodies> when attempting to install Lineagos "Only official releaed binaries are allowed to be flashed (vbmeta)"... Devil: "You won't find any reprieve here"
02:55:20 <MrMobodies> it's a joke

03:00:59 <MrMobodies> Devil: BEG!
03:00:59 <MrMobodies> "AAAAAAhhhhh!
03:00:59 <MrMobodies> "Devil there is no repistory.... reprieve here"
03:01:21 <MrMobodies> kind of like that horror film

03:22:50 <MrMobodies> OneSTOP harassment for those that don't want it.
03:23:57 <MrMobodies> Let's read their harassment policy
03:25:15 <MrMobodies> "Samsung will not tolerate any behaviors of harassment or discrimination based on age, disability, ethnicity, gender, marital status, national origin, political affiliation.... protected by applicable local laws... Samsung will not tolerate any behaviors of bullying, harassment or victimization that may offend or cause discomfort"
03:27:01 <MrMobodies> What about their OS and their APPS that make that, harasses the user where they can't disable, uninstall from apps, victimize them (when they unlock the bootloader refusing future OS updates) then refusing to allow them to install custom roms
03:27:30 <MrMobodies> but still willing to install and update their malware
03:27:57 <MrMobodies> one rule for employment and another rule for their userbase
03:28:59 <MrMobodies> there is nothing forward to look forward to, in the future releases anyway
03:29:42 <MrMobodies> they remove options that were previouly there with the brightness at the top of notifications now I have to swipe many times to get in Android 15 Lineos release

12:24:12 <MrMobodies> I HATE these "NOTIFICATIONS" in these STUPID APPS
12:24:30 <MrMobodies> Had to spend an HOUR going through them and system apps, both the tablet and that HTC phone
12:26:16 <MrMobodies> https://i.postimg.cc/xC0PF1JJ/image.png

12:26:33 <MrMobodies> "Connected to 1 session Touch to return to your last session"
12:27:37 <MrMobodies> I KNOW it had been opened and don't need it saying "oh, here's what's opened and here's what you recently did"... patronising, insulting and condescending.
12:27:50 <MrMobodies> when I can already see it.
12:28:04 <MrMobodies> oh apparently it isn't even open
12:28:14 <MrMobodies> I thought I forgot to close it down.
13:03:41 <MrMobodies> After 5 days+ of psychological torture from Samsung, Google and HTC I think I'll rest now.
13:04:08 <MrMobodies> I'll reset the Samsung tablet back now I know which packages as I disable more things than I wanted to.
13:04:37 <MrMobodies> at the moment I am tired and just happy I got the basic to function without being HARASSED by unwanted notifications from things.
13:05:36 <MrMobodies> stupid utility apps that require "sign in" and things that constantly remind of updates which I uninstalled
13:06:42 <MrMobodies> I was told at the pub that they see it but "ACCEPTED IT" bullshit.
13:06:47 <MrMobodies> on their phones
13:07:44 <MrMobodies> Thanks to some folks at XDA in 2018 I remember installing a vanilla Android OS, well a Samsung rom for that phone with all the crap stripped out.
13:07:56 <MrMobodies> which required routing
13:08:50 <MrMobodies> and that phone is still with me today even though it's not perfect and has niggles, it's like heaven compared to that HTC and Samsung tablet
13:09:40 <MrMobodies> like it would join any Wifi network I joined at random is one niggle
13:10:17 <MrMobodies> I get a little tiny floating message or prompt and that's it, I don't get spammed by a notification board that I then have to clear.
13:11:24 <MrMobodies> Now I am finished and someone said to me once a long time ago, "You might have won the battle but not the war"
13:15:59 <MrMobodies> It is a shame about Lineageos, Google has made Android 15 so horrible and removed options to things and little they can do. Maybe other vendors just retain them.
13:17:14 <MrMobodies> I have an older I think Linegos based on Android 9 on that Sony XA2 and other than the annoying dimming overlays, it behaves very well but the curved glass on the phone makes the keyboard difficult to use.

20:46:55 <AustGuest7245> Is it possible to get onto Dave at all? I have an order through EEVBlog but AusPost have lost it and now I need to contact the sender. I have emailed Dave 3 times and heard nothing
20:47:31 <steve30> Unfortunately Dave doesn't like IRC. Halcyon knows him though.
20:48:02 <Halcyon> When did you first contact him?
20:48:26 <Halcyon> Also, was Dave the sender, or ?
20:51:46 <AustGuest7245> Thanks guys. Yes I've emailed the eev.blog official address mid September
20:52:19 <Halcyon> Flick me your order number and email, I'll get onto Dave. He is usually good at replying to emails regarding orders.
20:52:38 <AustGuest7245> Thanks mate. How can I DM here?
20:52:52 <Halcyon> Should be able to double-click my name in the user list?
