I can’t post reviews on apps. I get a network error message. I assume this is from my DNS level tracker and ad block lists.
I would love this feature. I have an older bosch and it just beeps like every 10 minutes crying to be opened up.

hefty4871@lemmy.cato Piracy: ꜱᴀɪʟ ᴛʜᴇ ʜɪɢʜ ꜱᴇᴀꜱ@lemmy.dbzer0.com•Questions about UsenetEnglish14·1 month agoI am no expert but I learned enough to set it up with my *arr stack and it’s my primary ship for sailing the seas. My use case is English language popular content. So YMMV.
Search for the Usenet backbone map or usenet provider map. You will see that there are only a handful of companies providing different “backbones”. Content may be different on different backbones and the copyright takedown notices may be different (DMCA or NTD).
I pay for an unlimited subscription from a provider on one backbone and purchased a couple of 500gb blocks (on sale) on another backbone. (A block is a one-time fee that allows me to download a specified amount of data, from a provider, and they don’t expire).
My understanding is that content on Usenet is broken into multiple parts and the file names are obfuscated, making it more difficult to take down. If they are taken down, it might only be a few parts. Your download client can be configured to download the missing parts from multiple servers (in my case the blocks).
I don’t recall finding something in my indexers that wouldn’t download because of takedowns.
My recommendation would be to try it with blocks or the cheap €2 providers to see if you are happy. If you struggle to find content branch out.
I don’t use VPN with Usenet. I don’t want to bottleneck those sweet 500/600 Mbps download speeds. Never had an issue. Edit: because I setup the SSL servers)

Mangel echoed the defense’s note in the filing that other prisoners have access to laptops, which are disconnected from the internet to comply with federal prison regulations.

hefty4871@lemmy.cato Android@lemdro.id•Gboard for Android rolls out Undo and Redo shortcutsEnglish1·4 months agoThanks. I hate it.
I have the next word suggestions option turned off. Previously I would see a question mark, exclamation mark and semicolon in the top strip. Now, with this new feature I get only the undo box (if my last word was autocorrected) and I now have to backspace and push and hold the M key to get a question mark.
I can’t figure out how to remove the option, so now I’m looking at replacement keyboards.
