I install KDE Plasma on laptops I intend to use as a server. If the PC is easily reachable you can use the GUI to quickly manage files or use the terminal. Disable search indexing if you install GNOME or Plasma. I never used Debian but I assume the base system is as clean as it can be.

On Android you can use Seal

Just uninstall cups-browsed, how are you going to print w/o CUPS?

On Spotify it is local to your PC

Meanwhile I want a tablet with phone call support. (Samsung Tabs with LTE/5G are carrier locked)

For YT I’d recommend enhanced-h264ify for best performance. Also FF with real ublock but that’s personal preference. In my experience on low end YT is slow no matter the browser.

Seal for Android is a solid client

PC receives 192.168.1.37

Model is Uptech SW-116, it has “Uplink” port and 16 LAN ports. It also uses external power.

WAN and LAN1 ports on router 1 is used. LAN3,4,5,6 and Uplink ports are connected on the switch. (model is Uptech SW-116) Uplink is connected to LAN1 on router 1. Other connections go to wall. I disconnected other routers, problem persists.

First router has DHCP enabled with range 192.168.1.20 to 192.168.1.80. Second one has “DHCP Relay” enabled with relay server set to 192.168.1.2. Third router has DHCP disabled.

2nd router is used as a wireless AP, getting rid of 3rd router is exactly what I am trying to do.

Call me surprised.

WSL: If your friend is a dev and needs Linux cli utilities, use this. Dual Boot: If your friend wants to daily drive Linux, use this. Shrink Windows NTFS partition within Windows then install Linux to blank space. Virtualbox: Testing ground for dual boot, your friend can familiarise themselves with Linux safely using a VM.

be it as something modified and distributed on a unsanctioned channel

Downloading APKs from reputable sources and signature checking can help with this one. Android will refuse to upgrade an app if APK has a different signature anyways.

custom injected by another malicious actor/app

If this is possible there are bigger problems.

Multiplayer game operators have obligation to curb modified clients so their actual paying clients have a levelled playing field.

There isn’t much I can say for that.

I have 8723be, not only it randomly disconnects but also it sometimes drops to 30 KB/s requiring a reconnect and has bad signal reception even on Windows. Ethernet 4 life.

Did you just install the module and passed safetynet or did you have to use custom fingerprint? Also are you on custom or stock rom?

I meant dualsense on PS3, not Dualshock 3 on PS5

Why do you think apps should verify their integrity in the first place? In the case of banking apps or other online apps, the APIs they use should be secure in the first place so a user can’t achieve anything meaningful by modifying API calls. In the case of offline games with monetization, a hacker who makes a pirated APK will also remove the restriction so legitimate players on non standart ROMs will get screwed. In the case of messaging apps with a “delete messages” or “one time view” function ie. Whatsapp, the sender shouldn’t take that their actions will be respected by other clients because modded apps exist and Whatsapp doesn’t care if you install it on a rooted device.

APKs are signed, you can verify the integrity of an APK. If you have a previous version of an app installed, a new version with incorrect signature won’t even install.
