That’s strange. When I click the link from my front page feed I get the above but clicking from the comment section it’s fine 🤔

:facepalm:

Completely missed the non-capitalisation on the HTC one. Oops

I had both HTC One’s and while the camera on both of them especially the m7 was dire purple durple shite, the battery life was never an issue for me and was when I first started seeing 6hr+ SOT constantly.

Telegram has the very public, very purposeful eye of the government on it right now.

Which, “government”, are you referring to here if you could expand please?

Or are you saying all governments are averse to Telegram?

Yep yep I bought a family member a couple of those fancy GLi routers that come with AdGuard built in.

It’s scary what a household’s tracked without it would look like, and they are none the wiser to the shit getting sinkholed to this day thankfully.

I’m down to 10% bollocks via NextDNS

and aim to bring it down further by dumping any apps/services that want to bum fugg me.

I felt like a right noobie when one of my colleagues said he’d got a Pixel tablet via the Play Store and asked him how he’d won it.

Apparently I don’t install and play shittons of games like them.

£500 was tempting to look into it further but as you say, that news pissed me off because I now know my mum is gonna install some bullshit that one of those guys might have picked up on.

I’m a capt’ three phones at the moment

While I’ve had my backup Samsung M12 with a 1pmobile SIM in my work locker for a couple of years now simply as an emergency backup, I’m also currently rocking two Xiaomi’s so I can test remote connections to a family members server via work WiFi/Tailscale.

My main issue is while I wear cargo pants at work, carrying two phones is more wieldy than you’d think and there’s also something else I did notice the other day with the Find My Device news.

I forgot where, I left my main phone the other day and my locker is a literal Faraday cage according to FMD? 10 minutes of panic :/

I thought I was a bit of a negative nancy but you take the cake 😆

We also have KFC and McDonald’s, but does that mean a study from the US about them should be posted here too?

It’s really not on topic especially since it’s coming from an Australian study?

What’s this got to do with the UK exactly?

You’d think they’d include an ethernet port on the device itself.

Or, hopefully they include a power brick with a RJ45 port. WiFi for streaming large high bitrate files is less than ideal especially if it’s touted as a set top streaming box.

Probably read the rules and post in !androidmemes@lemdro.id, which got auto populated by Boost for Lemmy upon me typing it. Which was fucking neat.

Then, learn how to use adb shell list packages` to list your entire app list.

Also, androidcirclejerk has a really good list of the common apps peeps usually jerk about, but I ain’t linking weddit.

Good luck!

Things we never asked for.

I think they’re called extensions because they are an extension of what the original product, intended?

Feel free to correct my confusion .

Is there no sign of a Pixel 8a?

edit: I should make wishes more often

Aye, me too and like you say it’s hard to not defeat the point of one if you’re unplugging the bloody thing all the time.

The one I’ve got thou did come with three cables of different lengths and for a while I used the short 0.5m at work since I could just jam it in small cargo pants pocket, medium length stored in locker and the longer 3m one at home. Still unplugged the adapter and is now in a drawer…somewhere.

Saying this, they do have the bonus (including that 3.5mm button thing i have above) of making the device more water resistant 👀

Funny you mention that, I had the M7/8 like OP and also had one of those Dot Matrix cases for mine which gave you a second screen so to speak. You could even use custom apps with it.

Another thing I bought at the time was one of these for the headphone jack. Never really caught on thou :/

You don’t need to pay a subscription fee for cloud storage when it’s super simple to host your own, and Android allows the mounting of different filesystems too.

SMB on a rasp pi + cheapo storage + Tailscale, all the way to paying £$€ for a dedicated NAS enclosure with as much storage as you can afford also with Tailscale?

Yup, fuck subscription fees.

You also can then use the corporate cloud storage providers like G/ProtonDrive etc to use their free offerings for off site backup of the most important data.

Hey John.

I’m sorry, but we’ve had to remove this post and you’re better trying in the dedicated community over in !askandroid@lemdro.id

Cheers!

Messaging others is not “social media”, and you conflating that with using a messaging app is fairly telling.

I don’t intend to nor use iMessage.

And I’m conveying your blind spot which seems to be that you can’t function in this society without WhatsApp, which I’ve done since its inception.

And I’m sure I will perform equally well as yourself and others going into the future without it.
