There are clients with a “stop seeding” button that works prior to finishing the download. Just sayin’. Still seeds while it’s active, but stops right after.

…explain please?

If you bought it outside of China that might be a thing, for Chinese phones it shows a cancel button only. There is a confirm button, but it’s greyed out and not clickable.

Oppo = OnePlus

Huawei bootlaoders can’t be unlocked, so absolutely no custom ROM there.

Honor bootlaoders can’t be unlocked, so absolutely no custom ROM there.

Poco seems possible for now, never used one of their phones, but well good that there’s something possible.

Apart from Xiaomi and OnePlus, which are released for international audiences, I’m not aware of a single Chinese phone with active rom development.

LOL. Chinese phones are way worse, they simply block installations of “unsanctioned” apps with no workaround.

My wife is Chinese and I used to live there for 7 years, it’s an absolute privacy nightmare.

Cloudflare works perfectly fine with VPN.

But browser plugins to fuck with the fingerprint don’t.

Awesome, thanks a lot for the elaborate reply, much appreciated!

What’s that clippy stuff about? I asked elsewhere and someone posted a youtube clip. Not gonna waste 15 minutes of my life watching this shit.

Yeah they can fuck right off with that.

Thanks!

Paywalled, anyone got an archived link?

Maybe you could share which exact ones you need?

I used to access them through my university and they came in some proprietary Adobe DRM format that I couldn’t open without a university account, with copy & paste blocked and all that.

Was fairly straightforward to take screenshots though and run them through a simple OCR program.

Library Genesis has quite a few ISO standards.

And using Google, Bing and Yandex with the parameter “filetype:pdf” is also surprisingly effective.

I haven’t tried searching for any Australian standards, but maybe that’s a starting point?

It’s a UK law, you either comply or get banned. Obviously everybody now has a VPN subscription.

Just view the source code and search for “.mp3”, the file is linked directly.

You need it to remap some of the buttons on the side. I have the same garbage just for this purpose.

A secondary device can’t be identified by kernel level anti-cheat either. If you have a standalone device that identifies as a USB keyboard and mouse and then generates inputs that give you a 100% headshot count, there’s nothing you could detect through the kernel, since all it detects are keystrokes and clicks.

Doesn’t matter, you need the report as proof for the chargeback.

I hope you did report the matter to the police regardless?
