just looking around for now
ex-GX user here. i do not miss chrome.
yeah, on android it’s kind of a pain. but being able to use extensions is insanely good.
i played a match and i don’t get it, that game is just boring.
how do people actually play this?
i have colleagues who gush over how they want everyone else to play it.
it’s just so… stale
they’ll send you a replacement, but they take weeks to reply
i second getting a fairphone, but look into a second battery or a power bank for heavy use.
Fairphone 4 user here, i love it. but ghost touch keeps coming back, i’m on my second screen now.
i daily a Fairphone 4, has neither the best camera nor the best battery life. but it’s the most repairable and durable phone i’ve owned.
i’ve had extremely good experieces with oneplus phones, dunno about custom ROM support though.
i’ve also heard good things about modern motorola phones, if the ROM support is there it’s worth a shot imo.
there’s still two left over in our household. while one is really heavy but manageable, the other one hasn’t been moved in years. probably for the best.
same, haven’t strayed from standard firefox since it does what i want just fine.
i’ve since made a more professional e-mail, but everything remotely to do with personal stuff uses the adress i made when i was 10.
My FP4 was affected by the “ghost touch” hardware bug, i ended up getting a replacement screen after contacting support. (it never fully went away, it has a few spasms every once in a while)
also the crashing while connected to 5G put me in a few pickles. sometimes when receiving a call while watching youtube the call’s notification bubble will take up to 5 seconds to appear at all.
it seems to also ocasionally forget that it has a SIM card installed, though that sim has been in use for 10+ years, so i can’t say if that’s the Fairphones’s fault.
i feel you, the fairphone 4 works well enough for me though. a lot of software/hardware bugs are yet to be ironed out fully, but fairphones are steadily getting better.
although the 6th gen needs to improve a lot, the 5’s launch was disappointing to say the least.
unrelated, but my dad’s iphone SE (1st gen) used to almost burn the house to the ground when playing hill climb racing.
i’m using it at my desk where i have one USB-DAC for my speakers and one for my headphones connected to my PC.
that means i have to switch my monitor from DP to HDMI every time i want to play a game (using samsung’s nipple tech), as well as either running my speakers through a splitter cable hooked up the wrong way to get PC and switch audio, or have the switch on my speakers while having the PC on headphones.
way too much hassle, plus i can lose my cursor on the right screen where the switch is, as well as having to blindly drag apps from there as they start. plus i completely miss incoming desktop messages.
and yes, i watch youtube while playing games. that’s why i need PC audio.
but then nintendo wouldn’t be able to shove tons of 6-7 year old hardware down our throats. (the 1st gen’s processor is even older)
i literally own a switch, but getting that fucking thing to work with my display/audio setup is a pain. just to get 1080p at 30fps.
no thanks, i’d rather play it at 1440p at a more stable framerate, with a controller of my choice, with the ability to load mods.
if it runs better, at a higher resolution, with the option of using a reliable controller, i will emulate it.
that’s what being close-source does. jellyfin works great, use it every day.
If you don’t have one already, it could be turned into a linux-based input device for your TV.
my opinion might be biased as someone who deliberately avoids samsung products because of horrible software and bad quality control (on some devices).
yes, that’s a samsung thing.
you and my dad both. he’s been using it forever
