  • No, sorry. Airplane mode should stop all data exchange with mobile radio, but you should still be able to enable wifi and bluetooth while airplane mode is on.

    I’m pretty sure all communication with carrier is disabled when airplane mode is on, which should save more power than disabling only mobile data transfer (in this case calls and messages still get transfered and connection with carrier is active).





  • There’s something interesting about mobile banking. I constantly see stories of issues with it on non-stock / unmodified software. The funny thing is that I have never had any issues personally. Until recently my banking app worked even without Magisk’s Denylist (and the most picky app was McDonald’s). Now (since few months) I have to add it to Denylist, but that’s the only requirement, no SafetyNet, no Play Integrity, nothing.




  • Essential? no.

    Worth it? maybe.

    Nice to have control of your own device? absolutely.

    I have two devices, primary with root (through Magisk as KernelSU still has some issues for me) and secondary without root. Anytime I have to do something more demanding on the unrooted device I really wish I had root. Local terminal access, ability to disable some annoying “features” (verified app links) and multiple other things I use daily make it worth it for me.

    EDIT: I saw mentions of custom roms in other comments. I have a custom rom installed (AOSP based). If I was on a stock rom (or god forbid something like MIUI) root would be a must for me.





  • I think it’s a different story with the original seasons. The intended version was 4 seasons, but Fox being Fox aired the episodes out of order, ending whenever they wanted and that’s how 5 seasons came to be.

    One might try to call it artistic privilege, but I don’t think it holds when you’re responsible only for distribution and not making.

    I use MediaTracker which takes information form imdb and tmdb and it labels it as following:

    • original series (seasons 1-5)
    • Comedy Central (seasons 6 and 7)
    • Hulu (season 8) with season 0 (specials) containing movies like Bender’s Big Score
