Archiving my Twitter, Facebook and other social network activity
Wi-Fi features I would like to see on Android:
1. Always connect to my chosen VPN as soon as I’ve connected to any Wi-Fi network that’s not on a trusted list.
2. Auto-update apps when connected to *specific* Wi-Fi networks (not just any).
@kellerfuchs@vulpine.club points out that updaters should be using TLS and signatures.
Good point – updating over (for example) coffee shop wifi *feels* like it should be more dangerous than it actually *is* with proper encryption.
OTA update to Android 5.1 failed & wouldn't boot. It stayed on the spinning circles for hours. I tried clearing the cache, pulling the battery, removing the SD card, even a factory reset. If it had been a carrier phone or an actual Nexus device, I could have flashed a new system, but it's a Galaxy S4 Google Play Edition, so nobody wants responsibility for it. I finally bit the bullet and installed CyanogenMod. The phone works fine again, but the UI feels like going back in time a couple of years.
