"How much money?"
  • If I'm posting something online, I proofread it at least once. Only to later discover it still has 25 mistakes I missed.

    Outside of like Discord if I'm trying to send something quickly or meme

    Parisians vote in favour of tripling parking costs for SUVs
  • Are you sure about that? I know someone that drives a 2003 CR-V not because he wants to, but because he got it for free and can't afford to get a new or used car.

    Where do you find info about Android customization?
  • I meant relatively as it's more of a nerd thing to use custom ROMs, and you would usually have more experience with this kind of thing.

    My issues are things nobody has cared enough to try, or impossible to fix idk.

    Where do you find info about Android customization?
  • Depending on the phone, that can be relatively easy.

    What I mean is putting modem and oem files from Xperia 10 onto XA2 (Ultra) to attempt to get working T-Mobile VOLTE. Newflasher won't do it, so trying manually doing it, but I seemingly can't write to /oem, and recovery doesn't pick it up.

    Out of the phones released past 2015 you used, which one is the closest to the heart?
  • I thought about this, and I'm not really sure. A lot of the phones I liked using are before 2015. This leaves me with two options.

    The Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact:

    I'm still using the XZ1C, it's still fast for what I use it for, and does everything I need. The modem bug annoys me though, and keeps it from greatness. The battery is still really good, even after replacing it with a Chinese battery and 80% charge limit. It's almost the perfect phone. Make it 18:9 and have modern specs with stable software and it would be awesome.

    Runner up (The only other post 2015 phone I've used enough and is good enough to like):

    I really liked the S7 (Exynos), the last semi good Samsung (until you get to S10e) Although it's kinda slow and didn't work well for cell in the US.

    Ifixit gives fairphone 5 a 10/10 on repairability and maintanence
  • They removed the headphone jack to sell "fair"buds. Every manufacturer removing the headphone jack has coincided with or near the launch of Bluetooth earbuds. "Fair"phone is no different, so they probably won't bring it back.

    $700 for basically 5 year old CPU and a phone that doesn't work or work well in most of the world. You're better off getting an old flagship, and it's probably better for the environment anyways.

    Where do you find info about Android customization?
  • I'm actually curious about this too, I have no idea where to find the answers to very specific questions anywhere aside from ask and hope.

    Current state of Reddit
  • I used to check Reddit pretty often, at least once every other day. Now I've found I use Lemmy rarely. I use Reddit more often still but that's just to look up questions or get help with some issue. I mostly just use Discord now, and am only checking here because it's down.

    Should I convince my mother to switch to ProtonMail?
  • I guess a honeypot is better than Google, but if it works for them you probably shouldn't touch it.

    Also you took her passwords from being fully offline to hackable good job.
