I tried to cross post it here: https://lemmy.world/post/22093917

Not sure if I did it correctly, though

Who the fuck thought this up

1. Remove the mat from the bottom of the rear door pocket.
2. Press the red tab to remove the access door.
3. Pull the mechanical release cable forward.

I don’t think so, I had to go in and do the song and dance with changing a config file. Reposting this comment here for posterity.

1. Delete .kobo/KoboReader.sqlite (if you are already signed in).
2. Restart Kobo
3. DO NOT tap “Set up over wi-fi”. Press the other one and connect it to a computer.
4. Go to .kobo/Kobo/Koboreader.config (or something like that)
5. Open the config file and under [ApplicationPreferences], write on a new line: SideloadedMode=true.
6. If you did not do steps 1 and 2, delete .kobo/KoboReader.sqlite.
7. Eject and restart ereader.
8. Yay! You just bypassed registration!

Not without significant hurdles due to Amazon’s (very intentionally crafted) walled garden. You’re locked in by the file format as well as Amazon’s DRM. If you do anything to bypass this, it’s technically illegal as a violation of the DMCA.

My last eReader purchase was the Kobo Clara 2E and it’s fantastic. I got one for my dad as well. I love the fact that you can use it completely offline and without any account.

Then they announced a partnership with IFixIt, and that cemented for me (barring any changes), that my next eReader will also be another Kobo… though with this partnership I expect that to be a long time down the road.

I appreciate this rule 🙌

Funny, I actually started out with them disabled but I re-enabled them in the past year since I’m terrible at mistyping.

I wish there were a way for only the app to know which sites you’ve visited previously so it could do a better job of helping my typos without exposing that data to websites you visit.

Edit: oh I also wish you could have the address bar on the bottom :/

I forgot to mention a fringe benefit of Firefox Focus: I feel like it forces me to do a better job of not just opening a webpage and telling myself I’ll read it later (I never do). Since the session is ephemeral and the webpage will be gone if I don’t read it right away, I actually get down to reading the articles more often.

This may also be a side effect of Lemmy, though, since there’s less content here than on reddit.

I like Firefox Focus.

Every time you close the app (swipe up on the app switcher) or use the trash button it cleans every bit of cached or stored data including cookies, so every time you open it you have a fresh browsing session and it’s harder to be followed around the web.

Obviously inconvenient for banking or the like, so I also have Firefox (regular) installed which stores my login sessions.

Huge news

Is it possible to get biometrics working on a flathub app?

I really hate the use of quotes “for emphasis”

Interesting, I did not know how widely used the 2.4GHz band is, thanks for correcting me!

That’s the same frequency as one of the main Wi-Fi bands, I would imagine they’re probably just reusing that technology for this communication

Yep, I live in the south and we will regularly (several times a year) drive 300 miles or more to visit the various families.

Absolutely no one would ever do such a thing

Thank God you did this, I couldn’t have handled it if you hadn’t

I think the reason why regular store bought gizmos won’t let you decrypt it is because content can require HDCP to make sure you don’t gain access to the data. If there were a device at Best Buy that just bypassed this, I think the DMCA and rights holders would come down hard on the seller.

I’ve heard of gizmos from shadier places may be able to decrypt the data but it’s likely because they’re acting outside of the law.

Vaultwarden is only the server, no? So any clients that you use to access Vaultwarden are built and maintained by 8bit solutions a.k.a. Bitwarden, including the desktop client that is the subject of this post.

Because the sentence is that judge’s baby
