Chrome is one of the first things I disable on my Android devices, and I hate the idea of signing up for any accounts just to access local files.

But Canon welcomed me with a big surprise, and a fuck you, too!

      Magic Lantern is awesome!

      Unfortunately, it’s for higher-end cameras, not my old point-and-shoot cameras. And it doesn’t magically give your device GPS for geotagging images :(

      The app was fine. The enshittification of the app is not.

          Yes, another user already confirmed that the old version still works. I’ve done the same with the old GoPro app.

          EDIT: but old versions have built-in planned obsolescence, because they won’t support newer devices (both cameras or smartphones) for very long. My Samsung 360 camera was rendered useless once they discontinued app support.

            I have an old Gear VR and a Samsung S3. I don’t believe there is any way to use it today. It wants to connect to Facebook to log in, but their auth token has expired.

              You actually can still use it, there’s some folks on reddit trying their best to keep it going. App support is very poor though.

                My S3 is garbage. I only wanted to try and stream videos to it (without motion tracking) but even that seems too hard.

      Jailbreaking locks you out of banking apps.

      Edit: jailbreaking your phone might lock you out of banking apps.

      Jailbreaking your camera does NOT.

          Don’t you gotta jailbreak your phone as well? Otherwise it will require the chrome browser

        Maybe on Apple (?), bur GrapheneOS supports my banking apps just fine. The only thing missing is Google Pay, which I don’t use anyways

          How? Having an unlocked bootloader or root breaks Safety Net, which disables many apps. You need an unlocked bootloader to install custom ROMs.

          Magisck used to be a workaround, but Google has been sabotaging it at the OS and hardware layers, so it wasn’t working the last time I tried a few years ago.

        This is a useless comment.

        Says the person who randomly brought up phones when the other person was talking about a camera jailbreak.
