I had it initially setup to run on Wi-Fi too, battery or charging.

Then I had my battery drain to 30-40% during afternoons, when I’m used to reaching evenings above 60%. Check app usage on settings: Syncthing.

Since I use it mostly for backing up photos, I found it better to enable it only when charging.

Syncthing.

Just configure it to only run while plugged to the wall, so you’re not surprised by the rare bug of it randomly turning your phone into a pocket warmer.

That is great news!

Now I might be able to uninstall Google Drive from my phone.

Sounds like security through obscurity to me.

Highly susceptible to replay and man in the middle attacks.

If you’re gonna combine that with another authentication method (and you should), then I see little advantage over just going with the other auth method.

Alt: it’s a simple spell but quite unbreakable.

Joke aside, I’d rather use a tool like MKVToolNix.

Yup, very likely that.

My crystal ball says that your client is trying to parse the response of a failed request as it was a successful one.

A successful request would return a valid JSON object, while a failed on would probably return an error message.

Report a bug with your client devs saying that they should check that request’s status code says it’s successful before trying to parse its response as JSON.

Potential bias: I’m a developer at Spotify.

“Spotify forces you either to pay, listen to ads or to find unofficial, potentially dangerous versions to use it.”

I don’t think the company forces you to do anything. It is their business model, how they can provide copyrighted music to you and have a share of the pie too.

I’d say the very idea that Spotify is forcing you to pay with time and attention or money so you can have music conveniently streamed to your devices is a testament to the company’s success. It created this business model and fulfilled an apparently basic need to the point you think that charging for it is unfair.

But “forcing” is too much. You can always buy discs, digital downloads and so.
