nickutz posted:The Facebook app essentially killed my battery today. Is revoking it's background app refresh privileges enough to keep it from doing it again? I assume that stops push notifications as well? It's because the Facebook app engages in a poo poo ton of sneaky tracking behaviors, as recently outlined in the post: http://www.reddit.com/r/jailbreak/comments/2jrg21/as_per_request_after_submitting/

CitrusFrog posted:Thanks. It looks nice, but it also requires installing crap on my PC. I guess I'm just going to have to suck it up and deal with the "install some sort of gateway/server" crap because of cross-platform encoding so IOS doesn't choke on .avi and .mkv files (and even some mp4/m4v files in my experience). Plex is amazing software, even in the non-Plexpass form. Try it before you knock it.

NINtype keyboard just got a really slick update and kicks a whole lot of rear end. Costs $5 and has a hell of a learning curve, but I'm really liking it so far.

japtor posted:http://www.macrumors.com/2014/12/03/nintype-keyboard-for-ios/ On iPad it's tougher to use because my hands aren't big enough, but it does have a way to shrink and move the keyboard to the right or left so you can swipe type one-handed, which is cool. For the phone I am finding it easier to use with some practice, but in my opinion there is a pretty steep learning curve. I do think it's one of those things which will completely change the way I type over time though.

Honestly though, I don't mind paying the $5 because the guy was working on the jailbreak version for a long time and spent a similiar amount of time on this version. I'm sure it'll go on sale at some point in time. I will say it makes it tolerable to type in landscape mode on an iPad for me, which I cannot say about the stock keyboard.

I like using a VPN in combination with Splashtop to make it think I'm on a local network, even when I'm not. Also, Nintype keyboard just got an update that squashed a lot of bugs and made it even faster and better. Also, if you're jailbroken there's a cool tweak called NinKeyboardMoreMem that is able to allocate more memory to third-party keyboards which basically solves almost every issue with their unreliability in iOS 8.1.2.

tuyop posted:I mean, like, your authorized device breaks and you have to log into your 1Password. 1Pass needs an authenticator code. Your authenticator codes are generated by 1Pass, which you need a code to log into, so now you're locked out by this recursive circle of security. I don't understand. 1Pass uses a password to authenticate, but it doesn't have two-factor authentication. You simply store your two-factor auth in 1Pass, for all other sites that do use it. Edit: wait, do you mean what if you have to log into DropBox to access 1Pass, but you can't because your auth token for DropBox is in 1Pass? In that case I hope you wrote down the code to access your DropBox account if you can't access your device that generates tokens. bobfather fucked around with this message at 03:24 on Jan 27, 2015 |

tuyop posted:Oh. Lastpass has 2FA. Seems like an important measure for a password manager, and 1Pass kind of shrugs it off because you'd have to get the data from Dropbox (or a synced device) and the 1Pass password. Not a thing to lose sleep over, but still kind of weird. Right. In theory with 1Pass your data are locked behind DropBox or iCloud, which themselves are protected using strong passwords and two-factor auth, before you can even get to your 1Pass data which is protected with another password.

Heads up! Like Plex but don’t want to pay for PlexPass just to download media to your device? Air Video HD is free right now, and lets you do just that! It won’t replace Plex for me because I use Plex for photo and music storage as well, but I will definitely use Air Video for a simple one-click transcode option for the occasional long plane flight.

Purify is loving dumb. Blocks Facebook logins (and subsequently breaks any site that you can login using Facebook, like Fatsecret, Feedly, etc.) Blocks links from Slickdeals (probably because there's referral/tracking info in them), even blocks legit sites like Staples that I do business on regularly. Also, 1Blocker has a "block trackers" setting that breaks Ebay and Paypal. Like, I get that Facebook, Ebay, and Paypal are shitlord sites run by assholes. But they're also sites that LOTS of people use, and this kind of breakage should not have passed notice for the people curating the block lists. Finally, the free Safari Blocker's lists work amazingly and haven't broken any site I regularly use yet. I did notice though that it doesn't seem to whitelist sites correctly yet. For example, if you download shutup.css and enable it, Reddit comments get broken, and whitelisting Reddit doesn't stop the comments from breaking. I'm sure the dev will fix it, however.

8-bit Miniboss posted:Most people use those company's associated apps. If it's a problem for you, just whitelist it. Whitelisting Facebook then allows all of the ads and trackers that you'd want to block in the first place. And the Facebook app collects insane amounts of data, right down to your location when you're browsing, swipes you make and duration of time you looked at each post. Seems like a pretty reasonable request to allow logins to Facebook, yet block some or most of the ads and tracking that happens to you. tuyop posted:Feature. Normally I'd agree, but pissing all over a site that's 98% garbage and overlooking the 2% that's not is beside the point. Reddit has really good subreddits like r/jailbreak and r/churning that are pretty useful on a regular basis.

Kaizoku posted:Use one of them mobile apps? Isn't reddit one of those where everyone hates the desktop site even on desktop? Reddit on desktop isn’t bad for the 4 subreddits I read regularly. I use an app to browse it on my iPhone, but on iPad it’s perfectly fine to browse the site. I tweeted the dev of Safari Blocker to let them know the whitelisting isn’t working. We’ll see if it’s a bug or not. Finally, to everyone who is recommending just use the app, there are good reasons not to use the app on some cases. For example, the Facebook website (mobile and full) let’s me send messages. The app requires me to download messenger. I’d rather just use the website. But overzealous content blocked are messing that all up.

Avocados posted:Have third party keyboards improved in the past couple of months? I keep trying to return to Swiftkey but there's still crashing and refusing to load and all that jazz. Yes. I’m an avid Nin user and while on 8.4 there were jailbreak tweaks that could allocate Nin more memory to stave off crashes, even with those tweaks Nin was never as stable as it has been in 9.0.1 with a 6s+. 9.0.1 is also much better about restarting the keyboard if it does crash, so while there’s an occasional 1s delay while Nin restarts itself, it’s much better than iOS 8 where Nin would crash and iOS would be unable to restart the keyboard, necessitating force closing the app you were in and pulling down spotlight to reload the keyboard, then going back to the app you were using.

If you are willing to reinforce that behavior, definitely enjoy paying again for TB5 in a year or two! Me, I’ll wait for the inevitable price drop because TB3 and Twitterific still work great!

One compelling reason to stay on TB3: when browsing webviews TB3 lets you swipe from screen edge left to right to go back to your tweets. TB4 makes you push the “back to” at screen top left, which is hard to reach on a 6s+. Using reachability to get to it is just slow. Obviously TB3 doesn’t benefit from ad blocking, but I prefer the swipe back behavior over seeing an occasional ad, personally. Also, I think when iOS 9 is jailbroken someone will be able to code a tweak to replace all webviews with the iOS 9-type views.

Irritated Goat posted:If you're on a family sharing, does anyone in the family get it? I know I may have to log in, download it and log out but wanted to see if it'll do it without that. 1Blocker works with family sharing. In fact, it's free to download for all! However, what doesn't work for family sharing is the $1.99 IAP for 1Blocker that allows you to use all the modes simultaneously. This isn't a limitation of 1Blocker - no IAPs "share" across families (which is dumb, IMO). I just log myself into the device I want the IAP on, authorize it, then log myself out. The IAP will stay unlocked even if your wife or kid logs back in to their iTunes account.
