not called Brad but rather a lad, from Bradford in the UK.

Enjoys breaking apps, escooters, spam rings and sometimes bones, but not my own. That sucks.

  • Yes, we can change, but it’s still installed and running services in the background if I recall.

    You can disable or remove Chrome depending on your device

    I run a simple combo of Firefox and Kiwi Browser so I get a taste of both browser engines and don’t really have any issues since I get extensions too in both.

    The thing we do need to be observant about is Google Play Services and its tentacles of that sticky little system-priv framework and what it can do. AFAIK, it can still use Chrome even if disabled/removed during a Factory Reset and why there are FRP exploits using Chrome + webviews.








  • The music industry needs to die off already.

    You know what I find it akin to in the industry I work in and I know this gonna cause some controversy - but the 9-5 Mon-Fri managers we have at work.

    I work something called Continental shifts which are basically days/nights/days/nights on a A/B/C/D rota throughout the space of a month.

    What I find telling is we run absolutely fine on weekend days and all our night shifts but, we have these what I’m going to call leeches (but the controversial term is…Office Drones) just like the copyright fuckwads illustrated here that suddenly appear throughout the week and are a general nuisance?

    They really don’t do anything I can see that benefits the company/industry other than sending emails etc for others to send them a report that’s readily available/start bullshit investigation etc.

    They make me grumble these leeches :/







  • I had to leave VirginMoney because the lady on the phone told me I needed an iPhone to reset my password (seriously) even after trying with three separate Android devices.

    There’s no desktop functionality (mobile is king with them) and it amazed me that day I had to use the Current Account Switcher to go to an equally meh banking service.

    Sorry state of affairs across all mobile apps to be honest and as seen by the prevalence of MDM and accessing data Vs doing the very same, on a desktop “PC”. Why the data is more precious on a mobile device to them is telling…




  • My immediate manager is fine and like I said above, half of their managers could be given the chopping block but that doesn’t mean I need to find new employment as you suggest. I quite like my job since I can walk it there, work outside all day with wonderful views even if the weather does get a bit poop sometimes.

    In fact it tells me you’re relatively sheltered with experience in workplaces if you think most places don’t have lazy ass managers, office drones (I like this term), and good luck asking if they even have them during an interview.
