Have you found a way to block ads while preserving the voice recognition feature? I have a C1 and a C2 on which I have successfully blocked all ads, but I can no longer use voice recognition for things like searching. It's a fair trade, but I wish I could have both.

It's not, the steamdeck subreddit is full of these people. But I think the Steam Deck overall is much more attractive than a gaming laptop, and once you get a Deck, you don't want to then reinvest into a laptop powerful enough to compete, and so you end up with weird setups like this.

Appears to work on Deck, although the Steam Store page doesn't list any compatibility information yet and protondb doesn't have any entries. But I'd say your chances are good that it runs on linux without issue.

Yes it does.

What adblocker do you use? I would love to cancel my premium subscription. I used to use vanced on android, but I really like iOS since I've switched.

They obviously chose not to offer end-to-end before, but now they can't even if they wanted to. So it's a distinction without a difference. It's open by default.

I'm a longtime fastmail customer, and I like the service, but they still have no answer for Australia's Access and Assistance Bill, aside from all the other privacy disadvantages they have against Protonmail.

I know I wouldn't build something like this, but many people do, there are many Strava browser extensions out there. I used VeloViewer for many years before I dumped Strava altogether.

Thanks for the reply! There is SO much to learn in this hobby. I'll definitely be following this project.

How is it offering 'private' communications on the 33cm band? Does this band even offer good performance in hilly or mountainous terrain? These would be short range line of sight only type devices, correct? I'm still fairly new to amateur radio so I could be off. I don't see the advantage of this over something like APRS on 2M, with the exception that you don't need a license.

That doesn't change the fact that you need google play services for most of the phone to work. It can be done, but it's a huge pain in the ass.

Have you tried 1Password lately? They used to be trash, but I use them on mac, windows and android and it is far superior to last pass in almost every regard now.

Just a little PSA, 1Password7 let's you run entirely on local vault files. I have a NAS at home (Synology, but you could use whatever) to sync that vault file between it and all my devices, mobile included, only on wifi. I subscribe to 1Password's monthly model with the cloud services, but I just don't use any of them, and they have settings on every client which let you choose the default vault for saving, and I just use the local one. Best in class apps, local password storage only. Best of both worlds, unless there is some angle I'm missing.

The tracking issues have largely been cleaned up on the Fenix 5. It works well enough day to day for me, showing notifications from apps on my phone, allows me to blacklist apps, and has all of the features I need as a "serious" runner and backpacker/hunter. The Apple Watch isn't playing in that space though.
