Qualcomm settles and continues to pay ARM a bigger shitload of money, Qualcomm SoC prices increase to make up for that, phone prices increase further.

You should. I always keep mine updated.

Haven’t used F-Droid since I started using GrapheneOS on my Pixel lol. Just use Obtainium.

I got a Galaxy S24+ Exynos for 750 USD this year with Galaxy Buds 2 Pro bundled in. It was one heck of a deal. I’ve been living it. Should last me long time.

Nah, you’re using your own API key.

Works for free if you patch it with ReVanced.

It is a widespread bug. Very well known. Mozilla Connect Discussion Bugzilla Discussion

Hopefully they have a fix for the battery drain on Android. People have been reporting unusually high drain on Reddit, on Bugzilla and on Mozilla support since January and they still haven’t managed to fix it.

Honestly, at this point I kinda prefer to go on Reddit. I’m getting tired of all the tech/FOSS talk and there’s so much doom and gloom on here it just bums me out.

They changed their bootloader unlock policy. Avoid like the plague.

Non-native. I got this one.

I’m fine with Bluetooth. My earbuds and speakers all have Bluetooth nowadays.

Heyyo, I’m from Hanoi!

Chiming in from a third world country. Just did a speedtest. On LTE right now i get 100 down 60 up, 500GB/month for 35$ a year =).

“Look around, Ted. You’re all alone”

DNA and voice is voluntary at least for now, but they will do a mandatory iris scan. Doesn’t make it any better in my books. The fact that the government even wants this much biometric data is ridiculous.

That’s the Vietnamese government for you. Such blatant overreach and I’ve seen little discourse on this issue. So many people blindly trust it because national unity/national security/patriotism or whatever. If you dare to oppose the government, they’re taking you to the police station for questioning. There’s basically no press freedom and internet freedom is shit as well so where the hell are people going to get differing opinions? All the articles I’ve read are simply parroting the government. This shit would never fly in a democracy. The writing has been on the wall for a long time. I’ll be finding ways to get tf out of here

New crime unlocked: thinking un-patriotic thoughts

I’m the complete opposite tbh. I have tiny hands so phones are hard to handle but my ideal size has always been 6.7 inches.I love how can see so much on there and how everything is so much easier to see and how my fingers have tons of room to work with when typing. Anything below 6.3 inches feels really cramped for me.
