I cleared up a space on the C drive and installed Linux on that partition. Can Windows see files in my Linux partition?

When i installed Linux, i didn't encrypt it but it is password protected. Thanks

Well since I've been mostly in customer service jobs I'd like for people to know that the reps don't make the rules or decisions. When there is something about a store or service that's undesirable such as prices then it's something to bring up to upper management or just let them lose you as a customer. But you can be as nice to the reps as they are to you.

Pixel 3a is a soldier. (lemmy.world)
 

I got a used Pixel 3a on eBay 2 years ago. I've left it in the humid restroom and even accidentally dipped it in water to where the speakers got wet and blared. It dried off and the loudspeaker sounds normal again and everything still works.

Since then, I've also bought a used pixel 4 that developed a flickering screen and a used pixel 6 that overheated, Sim reader malfunctioned, won't turn on anymore, and was declared unfixable at quikFix.

To be fair I also have a new pixel that I love the heck out of. But my go-to for using at home with wired headphones is the soldier, Pixel 3a.

I started out watching some YouTube channels that claim to be dedicated to keeping me private and secure with recent news but found that some of them have a history of advertising NordVPN. Those channels sometimes sounded like they were defending Apple then telling people if they don't like the content then to just scram. Also, they would talk about custom roms for Android, then eventually when the channel got more viewers, the host makes a video advertising Google and why he now uses stock Google Android and saying that it's advanced. These channels, I sometimes find, either have bots or loyal followers on YouTube and Reddit that are ready to gaslight someone for questioning them. They don't hang out on other platforms like Odysee which is strange.

What is a good podcast about privacy and security?

Heads up. Facebook keylogs your passwords. in c/privacy@lemmy.ml

To this day I don't know what or why Google Chrome was using up all the processing power on my laptop while it was installed. As soon as I deleted Chrome, my 12gb laptop ran fine again.

It probably wasn't keylogging but it was probably not updating itself 24/7 either.

Where do you find info about Android customization? in c/android@lemmy.world
[–] theDutchBrother@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

Some people just don't want anything to do with Google and I respect that. In that case I'd go with a Pinephone tho.

Otherwise, a used Pixel with GrapheneOS isn't giving much to Google in my opinion.

Bezos needs to put himself in one of Elon's cylinders to go see outer space.

NP. Yeah I only routed Tor browser around the VPN in the past to not slow it down too much but I hardly use Tor anymore so VPN routes everything now.

I get workout euphoria from the group fitness classes at the boxing gym.

How do you get that feeling from a workout?
