Does anyone know of a good wireshark alternative for android?

NocturnalMorning, in Pharmacies Are Giving Your Medical Data To Police

Of course they are, why would there be a basic expectation of privacy for medical data, it’s only a HiPAA violation to disclose it.

cheese_greater,

Someone needs to request the worst of the worst police officers’ personal prescription records and release those to make a point

And then we can celebrate the them at their funeral. So sad how many accidental officer firearm discharges are associated with people “making a point”.

Seriously, what part of surveillance police state do people not understand

TheHobbyist,

Unfortunately, I’m afraid it will only enforce a two tier privacy system: one where people of importance get granted a privilege when others don’t…

cheese_greater,

I’m obliquely suggesting its already that way and it needs to be reconfigured. Said bad apple’s records would likely be treated with professional courtesy like those friends of the police get out tickets free cards

What are they, high or something?

Enkers, in Pharmacies Are Giving Your Medical Data To Police

It’s not even just your medical data. I picked up a prescription for my mother who just had spinal surgery, and they wouldn’t hand over the pain medication without taking down all of my info. I’ve had no issue picking up any of her other prescriptions. Seems the war on drugs is still alive and well.

Duranie,

To be fair, I work in hospice and we have run into situations where family members would help themselves to patient comfort meds if they could gain access. It’s not a bad idea to track who has access along the way.

Meanwhile, I’ve seen dozens of videos on Instagram of cartel guys floating literal boatloads full of coke and god knows what else across the gulf of mexico.

Watching the US government handle drug enforcement is like watching a toddler eat piss with a fork. Whatever they’re hoping to achieve isn’t going to help anyone and they’re not even trying to do it effectively.

I take ADHD medication and the laws make you feel like a criminal for buying it.

Bring on the charges and lawsuits.

Well that’s kinda the point.

I’d think that it would not really be a concern… Google tracks your location via its apps. As do others.

But I’d be more concerned in town rather than when you’re outin the wilderness

UnexploredEnigma,

Fair…

Batteries are removable! Maybe I don’t have anything to worry about then. I can keep the batteries out until I need it.

elfio,

Maybe at the time you most need it, you’d want it to be as readily as possible. May I suggest a thin plastic layer to open the circuit rather than having the batteries out?

cozycosmic, in Satellite GPS Messenger

Can you keep it turned off or battery removed when not needed for emergencies?

UnexploredEnigma,

Yes, batteries are removable!

The satellite uplinks these devices use is very bandwidth limited, and quite expensive. I can assure you that it’s not routinely sending anything without telling you.

Idk, I think if I was in the middle of nowhere in an emergency, I would someone to know where I am, even if it’s a big corpo lol

Verso 4K+ is good, there is a new one as well that supports av1, but it’s not that cheap.

FutileRecipe,

Verso 4K+ is good…

Vero V is here

Joseph_Boom,

This device seems really interesting.

Since I also want to use SmartTube and S0undTV can I ask you if is it simple to emulate android app with OSMC?

colonelp4nic, in "TV box" reccomandation

I’ve been very happy with my Nvidia Shield. It’s powerful enough for all 4k HDR media and runs Android so it’s customizable but I don’t have to think about it.

jws_shadotak,

NVIDIA Shield is generally considered the best.

It can also side load other apps like ad free YouTube or custom launchers that won’t display ads on your home screen.

glitch1985,

The non-tube version though.

hoya,

What do you mean?

glitch1985,

There is a bigger model that lays flat which has great hardware and then there is a “tube” model similar to the Amazon Fire stick size which is 32 bit only and has hardware issues also.

hoya,

I have the tube for years now and can’t imagine why would I need the Pro version. 32-bit only? It has the same chip.

glitch1985,

Lots of people have issues with it. Besides what I mentioned before it’s only another $50 for another gig of ram.

hoya,

I see, thanks.

Lonewolfmcquade,

I like my Shield but it was a real bummer that I couldn’t just plug in a USB drive and play movies on it. It’s annoying that I have to setup Plex or Jellyfin or whatever to serve movies to the Shield

Joseph_Boom,

Why?

Lairo,

You can use VLC if you want a simple video player. And XPlore if you want a better file browser

hoya,

I’m also happy with it, but when selecting a media player today, I’d get one with hw AV1 decoding.

Maybe a next-gen chromecast, if there will be a version with an ethernet port.

There are definitely more economic options, but I lucked out with a cheap i7 Intel NUC a few years ago that’s had no problem running any of my Plex streams. Might be worth checking out

GBU_28, in Satellite GPS Messenger

If you really need to be sure these things are silent, travel with them in an ammo can or similar.

But if you choose to do that, be sure to have your phone in there too, phones are far chattier than a GPS

bbbhltz, in "TV box" reccomandation

Maybe. The newest Rpi can I believe.

kattenluik,

Raspberry pi’s are never worth it compared to most other things.

bbbhltz,
@bbbhltz@beehaw.org avatar

Agreed. But, my old 3B is still kickin so I won’t be too harsh.

jasondj, (edited )

The 3B was like peak RPi though. Nowadays unless you need the GPIO or the low power or form factor, it’s not worth it at all. You can get low-spec 3-5 year old off-lease office desktops for roughly the same price point as a top end RPi now, and they are commonplace and easily found in the secondary market.

Hell I just bought a really clean Ryzen 5 3500 laptop for $200. Only had 8GB mem and a paltry NVMe but these are cheap upgrades if needed.

BearOfaTime,

And those mini desktops generally idle within a few watts of the later RPi.
