I couldn't find the APK on my pixel 5 running lineage so I think only stock-based roms should be affected. I checked using an APK extractor app that lists all system apps including things like 3 button navigation bar.

Also add DISM to that - if it's corrupted it could cause you to be unable to install windows updates.

DISM /Online /Cleanup-Image /CheckHealth

It's also possible that fixing it may require the original windows installation media matching your windows version build number - which means if you've since installed a major windows update there may not be an available installation iso that meets the requirement. Happened to me and I was lucky enough to coax an iso out of the windows installer download page that satisfied the repair tool (oddly enough downloading an iso using the Windows Media creation tool didn't work, but spoofing Linux on the page to directly download an iso gave me a different iso that worked)

These are the things I do to maintain my last windows machine.

According to the article, the culprit is showcase.apk, an in-store demo app. I couldn't find it on my P5 running lineage so hopefully that means AOSP / custom roms not based on stock roms are not affected.

I pay for Mozilla VPN and relay throwaway email addresses. And I seldom use either it's basically just a donation.

Is it likely that there will be legal consequences for Disney if it went to arbitration? I'm guessing if they're pushing for arbitration, they probably know it means they'll get away with it - so granting arbitration is essentially the same as legally sanctioning their actions or negligence.

I feel the sudden urge to pirate D+ shows even harder now.

Oi m8, you got an account for that?

This is super neat even though it's basically just running the main board plugged into peripherals - I already knew the main board was pretty small but it's still surprising seeing it sitting on a table.

Makes me wonder what you could do with a case the size of a wii (or even a mini wii). Plenty of space for cooling, a 2.5" SSD bay, and I'm sure you could fit lots of other goodies in it too.

True, you do have to be wary of drop shippers on eBay though. A handful of times down I order something on eBay only to get it in Amazon packaging and with an Amazon gift packing slip - then I look up the item name on the gift receipt and find that the Amazon listing was cheaper and the eBay seller just skimmed off the top.

Unless it's a very weird special order display it's probably still 60hz, that way the transitions between menu screens and animations look smooth.

I'm on unrooted lineage with mindthegapps / Google play services with my Google Services Framework ID registered with Google, but I still have to make 3 attempts to log in to my bank with the first 2 attempts always giving a vague error like "we're not sure why we couldn't connect", similar with fidelity. Using a password manager so I'm entering the same credentials every time.

(Edit: in the case of fidelity, instead of faking a connection issue it tells me my account is blocked and to call support to unblock it - that's also fake because I called once and they said my account wasn't locked and trying to log in a second time always works)

My understanding is that it's impossible to pass strong integrity unless you're using the stock unmodified rom with the bootloader locked.

I changed banks last week and the new bank (Aspiration) logs in fine the first time every time.

It sounds like the situation is better with graphene but I find it a lot easier to switch banks than roms.
