I’m in the same boat. What I’d give to keep contact with my family without being forced to use the WhatsApp app.

Oh, I hate a lot about Android/Google too. One particular pet peeve of mine is that WebAPKs are still exclusive to Chrome (and, on Samsung devices only, Samsung Internet) despite the FAQ promising that “We are working on it. We are committed to making this available to all browsers on Android and we will have more details soon.” (Last updated 2017-05-21)

There is no good option in smartphones, you have to choose the lesser evil. For me that’s Android. I can appreciate that for some people it would be iOS. What drives me up a wall is that people defend these awful practices.

It was just a snarky comment. Apple does a lot of things well. I just find their anticompetitive practices deplorable.

Nothing in Apple’s ecosystem is worth it.

Yup, I only switch to it when I really need to. That’s when typing code, commands, or mathematical stuff. It’s got quick access to so many characters!

⌊π⌋∈ℕ

Every character in that line is instantly available in the math layout.

I agree. It’s only usable for coding and Termux. For everyday typing I use Gboard, but plenty of other options are available.

I use Acode: GitHub / F-Droid / Play Store

It’s got everything you could want from a text/code editor, comparable to Notepad++ on Windows.

I’ve tried Squircle CE in the past but I didn’t like it, though I don’t remember why.

For typing code, I highly recommend Unexpected Keyboard: GitHub / F-Droid / Play Store

And if you do want to use git, Termux is the easy pick: https://termux.dev/en/ . It can also easily run Python scripts with full functionality, but I wouldn’t know about C#.

Did it work? As I said, the ports on the router look a little weird, but if a normal network cable plugged into them then you’re good.

As others have said, you weren’t being dense at all. Your question wasn’t stupid, just a little misguided, and it was very quick for us to figure it out with just a little bit of back and forth. I wish all tech support was this efficient!

BTW, if anything I was being a bit rude when I said I wasn’t sure why you thought the other end needed to be different. Apologies for that. Looking at the photo of the router you sent around the same time, I can see why you thought that, it really does look different.

The router ports are too short, wtf is that?

The ports on the router look weird. I want to look more into this but I’m afk for the next hour. Will look it up more afterwards.

What router is that?

Then you just need a normal Ethernet cable. I don’t know why you thought the other end needs to be different.

Is this the hub in question?

I think you need a perfectly normal Ethernet cable. It would help if you show a photo of both the router and the hub.

I was going to say that this might actually be a good idea, but then I remembered how often AI summaries get key details completely the wrong way around.

I still think it’s a good idea in concept: modding is hard, or so I hear, and this could be a very valuable tool if it worked as it’s supposed to. I doubt it would.

There are some details that I’d have done differently too, if I was somehow forced to implement something like this. For example, for each point in the summary (e.g. “talks about US politics”) there should be a list of comments/posts by the user to exemplify what they say and how they write. It’s useless if the summary doesn’t show you what it’s based on.

I don’t think so. They aren’t compatible. Even in the photo, you can see that the right cable only has 2 pins, while an Ethernet connector has 8 (I think). Definitely more than 2.

What are you actually trying to do? What device are you trying to connect, and to where?

My guess is that you’re going to need a modem, but please give more context.

I give it a month.

You’re still free to NOT install other browsers.

If that link contains the answer, you should at least name the relevant section.

I am in this comic and I don’t like it.

Well, I hope the other answers help you out.

Why do you need to block it? Why not just uninstall it? (I can think of some reasons but I don’t know what yours is)
