This is after having tons of solar panels too LMAO

When Farva’s wildly over-the-top Indian engagement to Thorny’s sister spirals into chaos, the Super Troopers must navigate Thorny’s schemes to break up the relationship, while trying to crack a pernicious new drug ring — all to save the day and maybe the wedding itself.

I went inside TAILG’s @TAILG.Global manufacturing operation to see how these electric vehicles are actually built — not the marketing, the reality. From extreme testing labs to high-speed production lines and fully automated warehouses, this is a deep dive into the systems behind large-scale manufacturing. Then in Dongguan, things step up again with next-generation AGV production. This isn’t about hype — it’s about understanding how consistent, high-volume production really works, and whether it holds up under pressure. Because in the end, the real story isn’t what a company says… it’s what it can actually build.

the all around vibes are too fucked for good posts 😔

I just had an encounter of the turd kind with a banking app that I want to share.

I'm in the process of migrating to a new degoogled phone (GrapheneOS) and upon installing the app in question via Aurora Store, it gave me an error message, saying it had not been installed from a "trustworthy" source. It would, therefore, refuse to start and tell me to install it from the Play Store. (For anyone curious: it's the Consorsbank app, and the issue is well-known at this point.)

In spite of being on GOS, I was faced with the prospect of

• installing Play Services Framework (sandboxed or not, I don't want that shit)
• installing the Play Store (sandboxed or not, I don't want that shit)
• logging in to the Play Store (I definitely don't want that shit!)

only to run a damn app.

I eventually used USB-debugging and ADB to trick the app into thinking it had been installed from the Play Store. LINK to the ADB command, translated into English

//Edit: I have just installed the first update through Aurora - unsure whether I'd have to go through the whole procedure again. I did not. Apparently, the "installed from" property is untouched by and persistent throughout updates, meaning: spoofing the installation source once is enough.

So even though everything is running fine now, this doesn't feel like a victory. For the first time in a long while, I feel I have come head to head with a piece of tech that was not just maladapted for my janky way of running things and just needed some tinkering. This was outright malicious, refusing operation and trying to force me to use services I want nothing to do with. It only gave me the option to either give in or walk away and stop using their services. Now, I don't mind doing that for non-essential things. I don't have big tech-owned messengers, I don't have social media (save Lemmy) and all the other stuff people these days feel they cannot live without.

Banking, however, is a different kind of beast. Banking is essential. Second factor authentication is usually done via apps these days. And if this kind of thing becomes normal for banking apps, and Google keeps locking down Android so hacks like the above won't be accessible any more, things are looking grim.

Tonight has left me with more questions than answers. Is Android still the 'right' ecosystem? What are the alternatives if this thing becomes more wide-spread? How do we combat this? Put pressure on banks to keep technologies open? Revert to physical second factor generators, until those become phased out by banks as well?
