Hello everyone, with the unfortunate passing of the FISA expansion, I was left with a few questions. I tried to research it, and to me, it seems like they are beefing up surveillance with routers and ISPs (correct me if I'm wrong.) Aside from having businesses stalk you when you use their WiFi (connected with ISPs.)

And if that's the case, should I just always use a VPN? And furthermore, shouldn't you have always used a VPN prior to this anyways?

That's why I'm confused because I already thought that other businesses were collecting data and our ISPs were already sending our data away, so I'm partially confused about what the real change here with FISA is.

Any clarification and advice is greatly appreciated, thank you.

I saw this on infinity for Reddit earlier, I don't know if there's a workaround for this or not.

Hello everyone! I have a small issue. I wanted to remove all media accounts associated with my phone number. One account to remove was Telegram, I deleted the app long ago, but never my account.

So, I downloaded Telegram again, tried to log in, and it keeps texting the login code to my number on Telegram, it won't do SMS. And I have no other telegrams sessions anywhere else where I can log in. I'm stuck, can't log in to delete it.

I went on their support website to file a complaint, and they never got back to me. Is there another way for me to delete my actual account if they won't let me log back on?

I guess I have 2 questions at this point, either how can I deal with Telegram, and or is there way to clean my phone number of all accounts at once? Any ideas are appreciated.

TL;DR Can't log in to Telegram, want to delete account, how can I achieve this?

Hello. Many of the older thinkpads were regarded as being peak for the ability to repair and easily see into them at both the hardware and software levels.

I was wondering, what PC, if any, is similar in this regard? Aside from building your own PC ofc. Any opinions are welcome. Thank you.

Hi. I wanted to replace my stock SMS app and was wondering which app is likely more suitable for use. Fossify is receiving more development and is more light weight yet most people that I've seen recommend QKSMS as it has more features. Any opinions? Thanks.

Hello everyone, I have a few old pictures I was hoping to get scanned onto my phone, I know that Photo Scan by Google does a good job, but I was hoping for a libre alternative to use first. Would anyone know of any?

Worst case scenario, I don't give Photo Scan internet access, but was still wondering what else is out there. Thanks!

Hello everyone. I have a separate profile for my proprietary apps on GOS, yet some of these apps don't work, so I'm thinking I need to enable Google Play Services.

Was wondering if this could hugely compromise my privacy, and if I could uninstall GPS later on. Thank you!
