  • I have play protect disabled. It gets annoying that it randomly asks to re-enable every so often, so I created a Tasker automation to dismiss that popup of it detects it. Doesn’t always work, but it’s better than nothing. Super annoying that you can’t tell Google to stop asking already and no, I don’t want play protect.

    I’m testing out grapheneos on another phone, which has all the Google stuff stripped out or sandboxed, so I don’t have to worry about it there.

    So no, play protect hasn’t removed my KDE connect app, but it hasn’t been given the opportunity to try.


  • My wife has an iPhone, but I have an old iPad hooked to her account. I can see where all the air tags are, and locate them or activate the noise function. For traveling, there’s no real benefit to having an iPhone vs an iPad.

    The main bonus that the newer IPhones have is the ability to locate them like a homing device. If you’re within 30 feet, it will actually tell you which direction and how far away it is. Like a compass, it points you towards the air tag, letting you get to within a foot or so to find it. For locating a lost item at home, it’s much easier to use the iPhone.

    But for gps tracking, the basic Bluetooth check in network with apple devices gives you the location of all the devices, within a few meters or so.





  • Keepass2Android does all that on android. It natively supports Dropbox, google drive, one drive, nextcloud, pcloud, and mega, plus you can use WebDAV or sftp. When editing an entry, the totp setup has the ability to scan qr codes with the camera. Plus, the whole thing is free and open source.

    They even have a package on F-Droid, though that build lacks the built-in support for cloud syncing (due to F-Droid restrictions prohibiting binaries, I think).

    I’ve used this app for years on android, paired with various cloud sync options as providers change their restrictions and capabilities. On desktop, I use keepassxc.
