I have a gig tomorrow and the Eventim app won't let me access my tickets because my phone isn't stock android.
They're refusing to give me my tickets without using their crappy app, and it doesn't work.
Luckily I have an old IPhone I can use or I'd be £90 out of pocket, but I won't be buying tickets from them again.
I hate this "Play Integrity" crap Google is using to lockdown Android and kill competition.
I'm continuing my Final Fantasy binge after beating IV and IX recently, now moving on to X.
I've completed half the game three times but never finished it! Maybe this time I will thanks to the Steam Deck!
Just finished Prince Of Persia The Lost Crown on Steam Deck - excellent game easily ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐. I'm looking forward to jumping into the Sands Of Time Trilogy for the first time since I was a kid!
Sands Of Time was a pain to get working on Deck but I think I've finally done all the config, and can finally jump in!

So after debating it for a whole I just flashed Graphene OS onto my phone and it works better than I expected. All my apps work fine which i wasn't expecting. The only issue I had is with GPS due to not wanting to install google service's but I've just put that in a sandboxed user profile and now it works perfectly.
I think there's a lot of misconceptions that custom OS's break a lot of features but I've just realised that isn't true. #grapheneos #graphene #GooglePixel #degoogle
Finally working my way through Wheel Of Time after putting it off for over 10 years! 3 books down and I'm in too deep to stop now...slowly working my way through it one day at a time. Probably going to take me another twelve months but I'm committed!
