Plymouth would be what you’re looking for. You’d have to find an XP theme or create one yourself.

What case is that? I was thinking of getting the Pixel 8 and was looking for a case like you describe but didn’t find any

I never see toffeeshare mentioned. P2P, encrypted, no size limit. Only problem is you can’t send folders, only files, but that’s easily solved with tarballs or RARs.

We get OEM Samsung batteries. Not for Oneplus last time I checked. The more popular the brand the higher the likelihood for original parts.

I work at a phone repair shop (not Samsung certified), our suppliers sell us new genuine batteries. So maybe ask around at one near you. Or get one from ifixit, I replaced my Oneplus 6’s battery with their aftermarket one and it works great.

WebKit is only open source because they forked KHTML to create it, which is licenced under LGPL

Not unintuitive, but thinking about it from a beginner standpoint, calamares-based systems are way easier to ‘get’. These distros don’t ask for domain names, proxies, usage surveys etc. This stuff isn’t that complicated, but they add an extra level of things you need to worry about if you’ve never used Linux before, which is the kind of person who this flow chart is made for.

I’ve used ncmpcpp and more recently Cantata to replace foobar, not as much customization but it gets a lot of stuff right for me.

Wouldn’t say it’s impossible. I’ve done it pretty often at work (tech support) and at home with sim eject tools, pointy tweezers, knitting needles etc. 5 minutes of patience and the port is like new. Just need to avoid the centre where the contacts are.

F-Droid probably won’t accept any builds with adware/tracking in them, so probably we’ll just stay on an old version until a fork or alternative comes along. There’s also a toggle on my preferred F-Droid manager app (droid-ify) to ignore new versions

That’s just the materials used to make it though, what about R&D, software development, etc? I dislike apple but imo the phones are overpriced for a reason. Adding RAM or storage to their computers though… that’s real price gouging.

All of what you said is true, I’m just cheap. Don’t feel like dropping money on a low end card just to have it struggle @1080p in new games and “mid” range still feels inflated. Might also be regional pricing where I live is just more expensive. Ever since Mindfactory stopped shipping outside germany I can’t find decent online stores, local or otherwise.

Not necessarily in the EU though, lol

I’ve been checking out GPUs to replace my 1060 since the pandemic and still haven’t found something compelling to upgrade to, price/performance wise. I guess I got spoiled by my 1060 but low end cards are anemic and mid tier is overpriced. 7700 and 7800 will hopefully be somewhat intersting.

In the article it mentions that the SoC might have been chosen because on it’s extended software support of 8 years. Industrial tier electronics also usually cost more than consumer counterparts, so unlikely a cost cutting measure

Zenfone 10 got released in july this year. I’d buy it on the spot if the software support was longer. The only phone in recent memory that has good specs and also looks decent

https://toffeeshare.com/ is what I usually use for big files. But both sender and receiver need to be online for the whole transfer. It doesn’t store anything you send on their servers, but that’s a feature for me ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Maybe check out Void Linux as well, the creator used to work on NetBSD before starting Void

Poweramp for music also. Worth the price, you can also skip the Play Store by buying it on the dev’s website if you prefer
