Fix Copy SMS Code on Graphene

You can read the detail description in this issue.

The fix is, find out the listener service with this adb command:

adb shell pm dump io.github.jd1378.otphelper | grep -i "notification\|listener"

And you can see it’s called io.github.jd1378.otphelper/.NotificationListener.

So, we grant it special access to read notifications (which is not possible via settings GUI, and I don’ know why):

adb shell cmd notification allow_listener io.github.jd1378.otphelper/.NotificationListener

How to Make Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse 3600 Work in Linux Windows Dual Boot

Before moving in the Netherlands, I used a USB mouse, and as a result I never bothered for pairing issues on dual booting Linux/Windows. However, I found Microsoft Bluetooth Mouse 3600 specifically helpful as it functions smoothly even without a mousepad.

Certainly, you can read this detailed tutorial from Arch Wiki, so I won’t explain too much on the general process.

Adding Priter Support for Epson L3150 on Arch Linux

My printer is on network at address 192.168.138.250 .

First add CUPS:

sudo pacman -Sy cups cups-browsed bluez-cups cups-pdf

sudo systemctl start cups

Then some other dependencies (and drivers, if you want to use some other type than Epson L3150):

sudo pacman -Sy system-config-printer
sudo pacman -Sy nss-mdns
sudo pacman -Sy foomatic-db foomatic-db-ppds  
sudo pacman -S foomatic-db-nonfree foomatic-db-nonfree-ppds

And we should install the driver for L3150, which can be achieved with an AUR package (Epson only offer .deb and .rpm packages officially):

Interpreting Internet.nl Test Results

Disclaimer: I have been a user of almost every email provider mentioned below, and I am not affiliated with any of them.

You can read Forward Email’s comparison with many providers here: https://forwardemail.net/en/blog/forward-email-vs-mailbox-org-email-service-comparison , by substituting mailbox.org with others on their list.

In short, Forward Email has some wrong information. They attempt to achieve full score in every security test and prove they are superior to their competitors with scores. I don’t know what is driving Forward Email towards being a pupil, and it seems like many privacy seekers get trapped into how high they score in the Internet.nl tests.
