I used a tool to generate the transcript and haven’t had a chance to read through it yet. What I want to demonstrate today is how any app on Android can steal your data using your clipboard. On the left side of my screen, have a Pixel eight running stock Pixel OS. In the center, I have a Pixel seven running Graphene OS. And on the right side of my screen I have my clipboard receiver which I’ll talk a little bit more about shortly. ...

I used a tool to generate the transcript and haven’t had a chance to read through it yet. Today what I want to talk about is user profiles on GrapheneOS. There’s three questions I want to answer and that’s what’s the max user supported on a device with GrapheneOS, what’s the max running users you can have, and what happens when you reach those limits. As I was planning out this video I came across this change log which says raise maximum running users from the standard three to four for six gigabytes of memory, six for eight gigabytes, 10 for 12, etc. My primary device for the past few years has been a Pixel 6a and it currently still is. I always assumed the limit for everyone was three users at any given time running, but it’s actually dependent on the amount of memory your device has, so I was incorrect about that. So good to know. The device I’ll be using today in the demonstration is a Pixel eight Pro as you’ll see and that actually has 12 gigabytes of memory, so we will see these upper limits instead. ...

I used a tool to generate the transcript and haven’t had a chance to read through it yet. So I don’t typically like to make videos on topics like this. And what I’m talking about is situations where we don’t really have all the information yet. And so we don’t really have a conclusion. But seeing as this could affect someone’s choice to spend over $900 on a Google Pixel 11, I thought it was at least worth putting something out there. ...

I used a tool to generate the transcript and haven’t had a chance to read through it yet. I wanted to make a video on my updated email setup. For years I was using Proton and Tuda, but at this point I have migrated all my domains to a self-hosted instance of Stalwart. I want to start off by giving some background on this decision and then some of the pros and cons of it. So while I have my complaints about both Proton and Tuda, in general I think they both provide a great service. It’s also worth understanding my outlook on email is that it’s not private at all. You’re using one unique identifier to contact another unique identifier. ...

I used a tool to generate the transcript and haven’t had a chance to read through it yet. So, last month I bought a lamp. It has a switch on it. Turns on and off. I did put a dimmable bulb in it, but the switch does not support dimming. So, unfortunately, it’s either off or full brightness. I did start looking into some options on how to make it dimmable without actually changing the switch on the lamp. I found some plugs that you can manually adjust that essentially limit the current going to the actual bulb or to the outlet, which then makes the lamp dimmer. If you turn it up, it makes it brighter. But fiddling around with something like that and then having it statically set did not seem ideal. ...
