this is the answer, Stremio is the easy-to-use solution that I setup for my parents and forgot about. the comments above with their complicated usenet setups reminds me of the famous hackers news comment when dropbox was released.
everyone giving their opinion in this thread should disclose whether they've tried cocaine. proper fishscale cocaine, not stepped on washing up powder.
the problem is it's too damn good. way too addictive and harmful
surely they're talking about the opening only, where the best moves have been analyzed to death. once you're in the middle game and it's a position that's new, you play the best moves.
You get to new middlegame positions by playing the sub-optimal/weird moves in the opening that Magnus is suggesting. Otherwise, you get to a familiar middlegame and just grind out a draw.
I don't really understand Magnus' position about playing a sideline vs. Hans Niemann in the infamous cheating game, and was reportedly shocked Hans knew the responses. Before any of that became public and I was reviewing the game, I just thought it was a sideline transposition to a Catalan position, and everyone knows Magnus plays the Catalan as a main white opening - so a weird way of getting to that structure is not that novel.
Hans' explanation made sense, even if he was wrong in his first interview and it came off weird.
I think that's mostly correct, and at beginner/intermediate levels of play can very much be true. Back when I used to play, I'd often run into people who specialized in weird gambits like the Grob or the Latvian, because even though those probably won't win many masters levels games, they're full of traps which can trip up lesser players.
But even in mid-game, it might mean that if you know that your opponent prefers open / tactical positions, for example, you try to force a closed position, even if it may be slightly suboptimal.
so Apple and Samsung get most of the profits, and Google has to pay a huge fine for doing the open source thing and letting 3rd parties build handsets. If Google just built their own handset, kept Android closed-source and charged €800 a phone, the EU would have no problem with that but we'd all be worse off.
I don't think so. I only started playing online a couple of years ago to relax, but ~30 years ago I used to go to chess school for a few years and had a First class sportsman degree [0], and even barely qualified for a Candidate for Master of Sport after a couple of local tournaments, but it wasn't awarded to me because I simply stopped appearing: it coincided with me losing interest in chess as time limits on that level grew to ~2+ hours and that was far too much for my jumpy ass. So I don't think that First class title is still active, as even the country that awarded it to me - USSR - doesn't exist any more.
It doesn't break Charles Proxy unless you installed your CA cert in a method that is typically used by httptoolkit (installing in the system store).
What is broken is installing a custom CA into the system store on a rooted phone and making it work with all apps (apks) and Chrome.
If you install the custom CA into the user store it'll still work with Chrome.
If you want to use Charles to inspect the HTTPS traffic of an app you are developing then you continue to follow the instructions from https://www.charlesproxy.com/documentation/using-charles/ssl... to configure your test build to use the user store CA certs.
If you want to use Charles to inspect apps from other developers then you need to rebuild them to trust the user store just like you would if you were developing the app yourself. Use https://github.com/shroudedcode/apk-mitm to automate that process.
httptoolkit uses the method they do because it was the easiest way to get setup to inspect everything. Its tedious to get every app setup to trust the user store.
