On my Android phone, switching away from Liftoff to another app usually causes it to unload. So, when I switch back, it loses the scrolling position I had left, which means I have to start again at the top. Other apps on my phone don't do this, and apps used before Liftoff don't get unloaded, so I don't think this is a memory usage issue.

Has anyone else noticed the same?

It is more efficient to buy cheap supermarket sponges and replace them more often, or do you find that more expensive options are worth the additional cost?

When you put apps in deep sleep on a Samsung device, they're disabled unless you interact with them. This also removes them from the Play Store updates page, so they don't get updated.

Is there a way to keep installing updates for apps in deep sleep without manually going through each one?

Several years ago, I used Blockada, which was frequently recommended. According to some discussion threads, it seems to have fallen from grace.

What ad blocker that doesn't require root do you use? What's your experience with it? Would you recommend it?

Screenshots of Boost for Lemmy included.

Hi,

I want to buy an NVMe disk for storage and games. I want a TLC drive for reliability, but maximum sequential read performance is not important. I only have PCIe Gen 3 with no plans to upgrade in the near future.

Can you comment on whether I should look at a Samsung 970 Plus, a Crucial P5, or something else?

Edit: I would want something with a DRAM cache if possible.

Thanks.

We’ve come full-circle: we went from the volumetric, 3D designs with shadows of the 2000s to everything flat, and now we’re gaining depth and shadows again!

I liked the Saturday APPreciation threads on /r/Android and found them really useful for discovering new apps. How about we get something similar rolling here?

I use private browsing a lot for the automatic site data clearing. Several browsers restrict taking screenshots in private windows, which is only an inconvenience to me. I hope more browsers will allow the user to decide if screenshots are allowed on their own device.

My home ISP does CGNAT for IPv4, but provides native IPv6. I can use IPv6 just fine to access most of my resources, except for one specific server. I can access the server over IPv4 from my home network, and either over v4 or v6 from other networks I've tried. But I can't access it over IPv6 from my home network.

What could be the problem here? Where do I begin to diagnose it
