Wow, this actually exists? I thought it was a joke from this: https://www.imdb.com/title/tt2411696/

De-googling and privacy on Sony xperia

I have been considering replacing my nearly 7 year old iPhone (although very reluctant) and I was checking for options. Really the only phone that caught my eye was the Sony xperia 1 V, but I found no information about how to degoogle and lock down the device. I really like the features and the built in camera apps, etc. Is...

Persen ,

But the hardware is not that good.

For some reason it's a photo of a monitor.

Persen ,

Furtunately (at least for the users), gadgetbridge exists.

Persen ,

Well, then all the users are fucked.

Persen ,

Well, or mi unlock, where you need to share your e-mail and phone number. You can't do anything about it anymore.

Persen ,

Huawei watches support gadgetbridge and don't have vendor pair.

Persen ,

Dead bodies probably, as they spread diseases.

Persen ,

You mostly see this in autistic or ADHD people, even if most of us aren't dangerous.

Persen ,

Xiaomi phones are repairable in my experience, but they aren't reliable enough to be used long term (except older models).

Persen ,

Xiaomi phones, if you unlock the bootloader and install a custom rom.

Persen ,

What's wrong with redmi, I'm using the 4x from 2017 and am planing to unlock the bootloader and use it for a couple of years.

  • If it isn't hp, it can work for 20 years, but with hp laptops, you are lucky if it lasts for 8.
  • Btw, it works for phones too. I got my dad's redmi 4x from 2017 a month ago. It works suprisingly ok. I am planning to flash lineageos without gapps on it, to not have to use android 7. It should work for another couple of years.
Persen ,

To me, it looks sad and in pain and later happy, but still in pain.

Persen ,

Well, their newer phones do have a lot of shady things (even the 4x video player demands weird permissions), new mis, especially 11 series are known for being unreliable. I particularly hate the bootloader unlock experience, waiting time, issues with the app (on pc and phone), no linux and USB3 support (I had to use a vm in an old laptop). BTW, I'm angry as today I didn't read the error messages properly and reset it. I wasted a day and now I have to wait another week (or more) to unlock it.

Persen ,

Ok, I admit, I was overgeneralizing. So you mean EliteBooks and ProBooks or some old series, I'm not aware of?

Persen ,

This doesn't work anymore. I just refresh it and stop somewhere in the middle and it sometimes works.

Persen ,

Well, I think the link structure changed. If I add old to the url, the page doesn't even work, but the homepage does.

Persen ,

Oh ok

Persen ,

There is an actual port on github: https://github.com/fexed/Pinball-on-Android

Persen ,

Well, it partialy works, but it just uses google's servers and there isn't any alternative apps for it.

Persen ,

For phones, there is Smoorez, if he still does, what he was doing a couple of years ago.

Fairbuds are Fairphone’s proof that we really could make better tiny gadgets (arstechnica.com)

But of course we all know that the big manufacturers don't do this not because they can't but because they don't want to. Planned obsolescence is still very much the name of the game, despite all the bullshit they spout about sustainability.

Persen ,

My sony ones survive more than a week.

Persen ,

Yes, I get it. I would still use wired headphones, but I got bluetooth ones as a gift.
And to add to your critisism, batteries die and you have to replace them around every 10 years.

Persen ,

Well i didn't mean the headphones, I meant the batteries.

Persen , (edited )

Am I the only person who wears jeans the whole year?

Persen ,

I never screw them in.

Persen ,

From what? The cable falling out?

Persen ,

I seriously don't know what's the problem with it. Please explain.

People should be able to kill themselves as well if they choose to.

Persen , (edited )

Most of us non gym people are the other way around. Not me, I'm weak everywhere.

Persen ,

You could try grapheneos. It is praised a lot. I can't comment on it as I don't own a pixel.
