Good to know, thank you for the heads up.

I'm not sure if this fits but here is mine:

I want to get away from Samsung but the "Sound Assistant" app let's me control the volume of every app, kind of like a mixer. Sometimes an app doesn't have a mute option, I can set the volume of that app to 0 without effecting the volume of whatever music I'm listening to.

I also like to listen to my local police scanner and music at the same time. I can set the volume of the scanner app low enough to not really bother the music but loud enough that if something happens I can still hear it and pause the music.

I can't believe Samsung and their app is the only way, but I haven't found an alternative.

What web browser extensions would you highly recommend to others? in c/[email protected]

I haven't seen these mentioned but they are kinda niche though. I use them for work more than personal usecase but maybe someone else finds them useful.

Snap links - open multiple links or check several boxes using a click-drag interface

Hi i am a complete noob who want to get into torrenting and piracy in general can people here help?? in c/[email protected]

Install BiglyBT from fdroid. That is a torrent downloader for android. It has a search function to find torrents. Or you can search torrents using any number of websites.

As for quality and size.... At this point in your journey you'll have to sort and filter manually for those.

Also, you won't find many guides for android and everything does lean heavy on PC. So if you can afford it eventually get yourself a cheap laptop, it'll make things much easier for you.

I dunno if that's actually an Alan Parsons quote but up vote for any mention of his name. Does sound like something he'd say.

As much as I hate to say it, Instagram is pretty decent for artisan/niche stuff. There you can actually see them making. Assuming they don't use tricky camera angles or other bs.

But it's sad that the answer for one cancer is another cancer

It kinda defeats the purpose of open ear but try wearing earplugs.

That's what I do when I use loud tools with my shockz
