I mean, Custom ROMs don't automatically equal root, at least if you can permanently unlock your phone's bootloader. LineageOS for example no longer officially supports rooting, meaning you have to install Magisk and go through an awkward procedure every time you do an OTA update to make sure you don't lose your root access. :mefiant:

Which cryptographic restrictions are those?
I may have to read on this further, effectively I was told that rooting invalidates some cryptographic signing process done. But I'm going off hearsay so I should probably look it up.

Samsung used to be ridiculous for that stuff, and start restricting your phone a lot because of something called Knox. I remember using a custom ROM, and one day I was in a store in Sweden, where I realised I forgot my wallet. I tried to set up Google Pay, but it absolutely refused to work, so I had to just leave everything and walk out.

I know it's probably down to experience and exposure, but I always did find it strange that Rayman 2 is considered difficult to some, I always felt it was the easiest game in the series. That being said, whereabouts are you at?

- overate and it looks like I'll be underslept at this rate...

Agreed, I really think Rayman 2 is basically the easiest game. The combat doesn't even have many mechanics to it. I really love the game though.

It will probably be bright in about an hour and a half or so. The days are getting very short at this point. I don't look forward to next month when the clocks go back. :oops2:

I usually prefer the long daylight, I associate that with happier moods somehow.

Yeah. I’m just confused because I don’t have epilepsy. We’ve done 4 different tests and every time it comes out negative. I have a cyst in my brain that they said was too small to do anything. It’s 4MMs. Maybe I should request another MRI?

- These days, I'm not coping very well with the pressure of my PhD. I'm getting good results and I'm functional at work, but when I get home I'm exhausted and all I can think about is what I can improve for the next day. I can't stop thinking about work when I get home, and little by little it's draining my energy. Maybe it's because I have just over a year left?
- At times like this, it's not appropriate to think about what's your next step, but it's inevitable to think that maybe your next job should be something more relaxed to compensate.

Maybe you can find ways to ease your stress and relax afterwards or on days where you have free time? I'm sorry to hear you're having a hard time, hope things for you will improve over time.

- Got up even later today, it's like freaking 3om now. God my sleep schedule is so fucked.
+ Going to try and finish Rayman 3 today! Shouldn't be too hard since I've already it made it partway through the game. I'm having fun playing through the game after not playing for awhile. :)

In fairness I've heard they've gotten better with recent seasons, but I'm going off hearsay having not watched Simpsons properly in probably over a decade now.

I don't think it's really worth it at this point, good or not, clips I've seen of modern Simpsons really shows how much the VAs have aged...

Starring Jared Leto... I'm still going to watch it but my expectations aren't high.
