  • They might allow the browser’s built in manager. Good chance if they’re a Microsoft shill, edge’s built in would be better than nothing…although it’s Microsoft so a text file might be better.

    IT probably bans them because they can’t access the data. Keepass files are some kind of container, you can store any file with in it. Great when you want save a txt doc with 2fa recovery codes or something and also not a bad way to send a payload that’s impossible to scan. “I’m going on vacation, please use this keypass file for vendor XYZ, open the file within for the vendors contact info”.



  • In the long term, yes it would be better if it shipped.

    However, if someone went to a phone store with a stock graphene on display and anything else next to it, which one do you think they’ll choose?

    Until Graphene’s stock experience (i.e stock apps and launcher) mature enough to not look out of place next to google and apple, the average Joe will pick the more polished phone. I hope improving that is a task Motorola will be able to help with, while graphene keeps doing their thing.

    Additionally with the app/play store dualopoly, Motorola would be shooting them selves in the foot if they didn’t ship with the play store.

    Getting an option beside a pixel for Grapheneos is pretty cool and a big step forward. I hope new demand will be high enough to show the decision makers that its an endeavor worth continuing.


  • Taking a away the phone during school hours is another band aid.

    Practicality, there isn’t a single solution that will stop the shootings, a dozen band aids is better than doing nothing. You can get rid of the phones, could invest that 150k into to the salary of a school therapist, pay teachers more so they aren’t all depressed and overworked. Hire more teachers so classes aren’t 30+, maybe they’d be able to focus on a kid for more than 3 minutes a day. In other words actually fund education.

    But sense that none of that is likely to happen this decade,

    I don’t like the idea of taking away kids ability to call 911 in an emergency. This isn’t 1980. Classroom phones are an option, but many have switched to voip and rely on some major internet service not being randomly down that day. Supposedly they’d work with 911 no matter what, but I wouldn’t rely on that.

    Could switch to dumb phone or set up parental controls to block internet access, and various apps, during school hours, while still allowing phone calls.




  • I’m talking about a windows feature that activity changes the cursor to be the inverse of the content underneath it. If content = black, then curosr = white. If content = white, then cursor = black.

    It’s not so simple as downloading a curosr pack with different colored icons.

    I searched the web and results are all just various forms with the feature requested, but no feature. One rumor floating around is Windows might have a patent on it or something, but I didn’t go digging for that info.
