Also sometimes it just literally does nothing. Push the play button and nothing at all happens.
That’s a bug with the notification/lockscreen widget AFAICT. Pressing play on the main player window should work. This is the most serious bug I’ve found. It’s quite a promising player otherwise.
I’m happy to know that Pocketcasts is OS now, that was my player of choice before trying to jump to Antennapod.
Install Magisk Hideprops Config and Universal Safetynet Fix
Enable zygisk and add your banking app to the exception list
If your app still detects magisk as an app you can ask magisk to hide itself, or create a separate ‘work’ profile using Island (couldn’t figure out how to link it, it’s the app by Oasis Feng on the Play Store).
You’ll need to do reinstall magisk after every system update, doesn’t take too long.
Oh that’s what I had to do for my Mi 11x/F3 as well. Good to hear. I remember reading that Xiaomi had gone the way of Samsung and completely stopped official unlocks.
I believe the reason they do this is because some resellers were unlocking the bootloader and installing a ROM with malware and selling that off to unsuspecting customers. This delay (and needing to be registered with a phone number) makes that process both impractical and easy to detect.
Your original discussion with @lemillionsocks, was about power usage while gaming, and the corresponding worst-case battery life. I was referring to this as efficiency.
I understand now that the term was misleading The M1 is 25% more frugal than the M2 under worst-case load.
You are absolutely right about efficiency. Even the (less efficient) M2 is way better than the 6800U for example under single-threaded load. It’s ~5W vs ~15W, around 3 times as power hungry as the M2, while performing slightly worse.
I love my Garmin watches but they aren’t really known for privacy or security. They had a ransomware attack in 2020 and the Connect service was down. It’s speculated that they paid the ransom.
