This is honestly one of the most appealing WFH spaces I've ever seen. MDF desk tops aside (I would've gone with cherry), I love this. I'm gonna need to steal the idea with the central switch board and look into industrial shelves...
This code yellow thing is so childish, it is almost unbelievable that one of the biggest companies in the world is managed by a bunch of finance guys thinking they are cool tech kids (which is a concept that doesn't exist anymore, grand part thanks to Google becoming IBM).
That's a Google page! The biggest authority on links in the world. Google doesn't need their minions to "protect" its reputation by astroturfing HN. What would be useful is if Googlers could fix this broken link and all their broken systems.
Even with Google Play Services working, there's a much more difficult underlying issue that makes for a rather unpleasant user experience with banking apps: SafetyNet Attestation/Play Integrity/CTS profiles/whatever other names there are for it.
I remember that ages ago I had to use Magisk and a finnicky Xposed module on my phone to be able to get past the root protection my banking app had. I'll be honest, these days I just don't have the mental energy for those sorts of fights anymore.
Every one of my phones before was rooted with custom os flashed, but now I feel exactly the same a as you, it's just not worth it. Kinda sad how stuff is being more and mored locked down.
It's easier now, after flashing the custom rom, go ahead and flash gapps package of your choice (BitGapps or NikGapps) are worth looking into. Even if you choose the most minimal packages, everything is bound to work just like it does in a normal Android.

Same, funny how we're basically putting "rootkits" on our phones. At the end I also gave up having root on my phone, because it seems the banking app(s) were too clever and detected them.
I've never rooted mine, running LineageOS since 2016 + minimal Google services. There was a period when my bank's app suddenly decided things weren't "safe" and refused to run but this was many years ago - no issues since.
Only works on the original motherboard (or maybe only motherboards made by the specific vendor the CPU was locked to) - so if you buy a used vendor-locked CPU, there's a risk it's basically just a nice looking paperweight.

Great read! As someone who has spent a good chunk of time looking at FairPlay code in the past, it was interesting to follow someone else’s chain of thought :)
Thank you so much! This comment made my day :) The concept about story-telling was to explain in detail how I thought. Despite that, I do agree with some previous comments, some parts are too much.
They do not share a file format. If you look at the GitHub repo for this site (https://github.com/magcius/noclip.website) you will find parsers, etc. for every single game.
I'm doing the exact same thing. Built a small web app that lets me manage all my email aliases for the domain. Unfortunately there are a couple of websites that do only allow a select list of whitelisted domains meaning I cannot use my own, but for the other 99% it works wonders.
I wish I had had this idea ten years ago, it would have saved me so many headaches.
The most recent incident I remember was with a debrid service. I opened a ticket with their support and was told that the point of the policy was to combat abuse of their service. Not entirely sure why a paid service that accepts cryptocurrencies would care about email addresses.
Not as of right now, but I could put it on GitHub. It's essentially just a front end for the Gandi.net email management API. Manually editing the alias list gets cumbersome really quickly.
