From reading that article it looks like they were only using and able to log the IP address when the person logged in to their protonmail account specifically - not VPN.

They even state that VPNs can not be forced to log under the same legal order and are treated differently so in this case it seems the activists were not using the VPN while accessing their emails.

Although I dont agree with even the logging of the email IP, it appears like the user shot themselves in the foot like that other case where someone used their real name in the username and that obviosly has to be logged in some way.

Did you read it? It definitely has the tone of supporting the break up…

I’ve got an LG C1 and have been using homebrew with Dev mode for a while now.

Can confirm it is very easy to do if you have a basic tech knowledge base.

The only inconvenience is sometimes after updates it will delete the homebrew apps but its a 5 minute job to get them back and ive only had it happen probably 3 times over a year.

“Youtube no ads” - the homebrew app, works flawlessly as if it were the original app with all of your subs etc but every now and then a tiny banner comes up begging me to subscribe to premium which I actually love because I can keep telling them to fuck off. The frequency of the little banner is probably once every few times you open the app and its non-intrusive.

Overall the LG dev mode trick with the Youtube No Ads app has been the cleanest and most enjoyable out of the box experience compared to alternative frontends etc.

Although this is very similar it isnt it.

The one I used even had some of these wallpapers but a really easy UI and you could add your own wallpapers all through gui without terminal.

Starting to think i dreamed it but my wife insists I didnt shut up about it when I had it the first time.
