  • To expand on the container/vm idea, for someone that’s never done such a thing before, installing whatever OS u want (windows or other) in virtual box then setting the network get internet only from the vpn would be a very secure but not all that hard to do.

    The easiest way for a beginner would however be to use a VPN that have its own software with built in kill switch, then you select whatever program you want killed if the vpn goes down, and it just exits that program. (If your paranoid research DNS leaks first)





  • They don’t need to cancel each other out.

    Lazy loading usually means to load the image at a lesser quality to have something to show the user very fast, so yes technically this can be called opposite of pre loading if used solo.

    Pre loading in this instance usually means loading before the user sees the image.

    These 2 things can be used together, an example could be to lazy load images at a low quality that are further down the feed before you scroll to them, and load the full image as you get closer to it/have it show on the screen.

    But I’m sure the devs knows about thease tricks already



  • I open the app and see where I last was in contact with a device, and it will show me a map where or just say “ring” if it’s close by, there is supposedly a AirTag like functionality where you can report one of your devices as lost. And then it will alert me if another tile user is in range of my device, but I have never used that function.

    I have also played around with apps like Tasker to make a notification show up whenever I get out of range of a AirTag, (not the same as the thing u can get by paying, thats just circle an area on a map and it will alert you if it’s outside that circle, I wanted to know if I myself left the circle without my device, not the other way around) that works too, but I had to add a task in Tasker to first kill the Tile app since while it was running my tiles are not advertising their Bluetooth id and thus i could not find them with Tasker.


  • I do the same but I usually say it to my wife or kids, so if it didn’t work then they can remind me 😉🤣

    And if they are not around I just say “Hey Google remind me in X minutes/hours about blabla”, it’s actually a very good habit, and I have about 6 Tiles (like airtags) on all my important stuff that I can ring if I forget where I put it. They can also be used to locate my phone, I just need to find 1 device and press it to ring my phone and then find all the rest 😉

    Edit: oh and another pro tip, cameras at the house can also be used to check if you locked the door! 😂
