Basically Google Maps by Apple on iOS

Indeed, that's a good question ๐Ÿค” An interesting solution might have been to leave the app free and make certain functions like speed cameras or real-time traffic accessible with the โ‚ฌ1/year subscription. (I'm not saying it's a good solution, it's just an idea)

For my part, I'm more concerned about the "subscription" aspect. I'd have been prepared to pay โ‚ฌ10 to get Magic Earth for life. But at 99 cents a year, it doesn't seem like much, and there's no guarantee that it'll become monthly or more expensive, for example.

Exactly !

On the other hand, I find Magic Earth rather poor when it comes to POIs, finding an establishment, finding out the opening hours of a place, and so on.

In the end, I use CoMaps + Apple Plans for points of interest and timetables, and Magic Earth for navigation.

If you're talking about Magic Earth: no. Despite the fact that Magic Earth is based on OpenStreetMap and has a quite good privacy policy, the application remains closed-source.

For me, the CoMaps (or OrganicMaps) application is pretty good for the map side of things. On the other hand, when it comes to navigation, I find Magic Earth much more complete (speed camera display, better traffic management, optimized interface for landscape navigation, reporting of road events, better precision of lanes to follow, and I'm forgetting many others).

 

Recently, Magic Lane (the company that makes the Magic Earth application) completely renewed their interface and general operation.

To use the application, you now have to pay โ‚ฌ0.99/year. Personally, I find this price more than reasonable for supporting a European alternative to Google Maps.

I downloaded the app just to see what the interface looked like and when I got to the app, it turns out that you can't access the app without automatically signing up for a subscription (even though there's a free trial period, for me this is clearly a redflag).

Capslock + the letter, thats all

What workaround are you talking about ? I can easily type ร‰รˆร‡ร€ร™ without any workaround ๐Ÿค”

As an azerty user, I don't see the issue with the uppercase accent letter. It's super easy to do on linux, no?

I replied to another comment:

However, I just noticed that my 4 RAM sticks weren't exactly the same (I didn't build the PC).

This image comes from the CPU-X software.

2x Kingston 99U5428-063.A00LF

2x Kingston KF3200C16D4/8GX

They are all configured in the same way:

  • Type : DIMM DDR4 Synchronous Unbuffered (Unregistered)
  • Size : 8Go
  • Speed : 3000 MT/s (configured & max)
  • Tension : 1.2V

I think it could be coming from here, knowing that I don't know anything about BIOS settings so it could also be coming from a bad setting in the bios.

The Finals is a really demanding game because the destruction of buildings in the game is impressive. Otherwise, I've tried several versions of Proton or applying launch options but nothing in particular happens, neither good nor bad.

I use a single SSD on the M2 port (the one for the OS + files). My games are stored on an SSD connected via Sata.

Otherwise, my monitor supports AMD FreeSync (I don't know if that's what you're talking about in relation to VRR).

Hello everyone!

I'm posting this because I need help upgrading my PC components. However, I don't know where to start.

Here are my current specs:

Operating system : Nobara Linux

Processor : AMD Ryzen 5 5600, 6x 3500 MHz

CPU cooler : Deepcool Gammaxx C40

Graphic card : ASUS Radeon RX 6800, ASUS TUF-RX6800-O16G-GAMING, 16 GB GDDR6

Motherboard : ASUS TUF B450-PLUS GAMING II

RAM : 32 GB DDR4-RAM, Dual Channel (4x 8 GB), 3200 MHz

Storage :I have several SSDs so that's fine

Case : Deepcool CL500, black.

Power supply : 750 Watt MSI MPG A750 GF, 90% efficiency (80 Plus Gold certified)

I would like to point out that I play on a 2k 144hz 27" monitor and I want to stick with full AMD because it's more convenient for me on Linux.

Even though I don't think there's a bottleneck, I'm looking to improve my setup primarily because I play The Finals in 2k, and with the graphics on low, I often drop below 80 fps at times (I would like to stay at 120fps).

Thank you for reading!

 

Hello, recently, the Roblox client "Sober" has been requesting more permissions since the latest update.

  • Screen content
  • Personal subfolder of execution app/com.discord.Discord
  • Personal subfolder of execution discord-ipc-0

Does this seem suspicious to you?

(I'm not taking into account Roblox's privacy policy, which is bad, just the Sober client)

 

Hello everyone! Long story short, I switched from CalyxOS to iOS because the Pixel 5 was too big for me.

Now that I'm on iOS, I'd like to know if there was a way to use google maps anonymously/privately.

I used to use the GMapsViewer application on Fdroid. Today the solution I've found is to use Firefox focus and go to the Google Maps site, but it's a bit of a mess to find a simple address.

Do you have another idea for me? Thanks in advance!
