Yeah my current Windows machine only gets rebooted upon updates, but previously I’ve noted needing to do it more frequently. My work laptop I shut down out of habit because they only supplied me with an 8gb ram device.

When I’m forced to move to Win 11 on my personal PC I’ll move to Linux instead.

We need dimensions from raised bit to not raised bit dammit

I have never bought an iPhone or a Mac and I agreed at first that this seems an extra step. But you surely wouldn’t have to flip it over? The device will be raised enough it appears that a finger could slide in the gap and hit that button. But maybe I don’t know shit or have slender fingers or something but feels like it could be operated without flipping.

What am I missing?

Still a daft design but yeah…

Cheers for that. I had other third party apps way back in the day but they lacked some features. Will check it out.

I went back to an old APK of Twitch and refuse to update to the current dumpster fire.

I do like the convenience of Windows and I’m still on W10, when it loses support I’ll be switching to Linux too.

Even then Nexus and early Pixels I used had pretty meh battery experiences. The highlights now are the cameras but there’s too much AI crap for my liking and Exynos bones put me off. Let’s see what’s about when my Zenfone 10 starts ageing. It’s been a quirky, mildly buggy (mainly Telegram crashes) but otherwise solid experience, with meh cameras vs the Pixel and Samsung offerings. Stabilisation on videos has been solid though thanks to the gimbal.

I got Google to give me a full refund before my 6P bootlooped so I bought a Pixel XL. No Pixels since for me. Oneplus 7T Pro then Zenfone 10.

Yeah I mean if you started one. If you went in with a secret chat in the first place then it wouldn’t be an issue. And so it’s one extra click vs. starting a normal chat. I hope it hasn’t inconvenienced you more than it’s taken for all these replies.

Thanks! My cousin used pop and was a fan tbf. I do like stability but also hoping, as I don’t work on my personal PC, that some instability would revitalise my enjoyment of tinkering. I have become used to the comforts of stability as I’ve aged. Haven’t really played with Linux since the Red Hat 7 days…! I used to use Unix back then for FORTRAN but yeah of late just forgotten everything.

It’s another contender for sure.

Just some performance I’ve seen people get from it and the nvidia bits. Still need to research before I decide though.

I am keeping Win 10 until I can’t safely anymore then Linux may be my next stop. Been looking at CachyOS for gaming.

Eugh I’m overdue donating to them. I’ve done Wikipedia as I use it way more but this site is important and I think it’s time.

Honestly the main thing keeping me from going back to Pixel was the chip but by 2025 I’m sure I’ll have other issues with the landscape of mobiles.

I’ve been a low ranked, terrible Counter-Strike player since 2000. Probably will be until my fingers /eyes / ears stop working. That’s not success. But it is fun. Some stuff you can do “forever” and it be fun. Conversely the point in your post is important.

I ended up getting a Stadia Premiere Edition (Controller and a Chromecast Ultra) for £20 down from £70 and tried it for essentially free (Stadia Pro 12 months free).

The got £20 refunded when they wound down - announced 3/4 of the way through my Stadia trial.

So all free and got a long cabled USB-C charger, a newer Chromecast than my old one, which ended up on the 2nd TV, and a controller I can repurpose.

Wild.

I haven’t rooted any phones or flashed roms in years. Please let me know why it’s so taboo to mention Magisk?

I’ve been using Podcast Addict for years now. Dunno why people think they are bound to one thing when Android offers so many choices.

Doubt it will ever get back to how it was with how easily they could be removed but there may be steps towards it https://www.euronews.com/green/2023/06/22/new-eu-law-to-force-smartphone-makers-to-build-easily-replaceable-batteries
