A lot of people are saying they suffer the same and me and my friend have completely different devices with different Android flavours.

It doesn’t seem to be what you are saying.

Android 13. Looking in the other replies, it seems pretty wide spread.

Yep, I have it on my Poco F5 with MIUI and a friend that has a Galaxy S23 with stock OS also has the same issue.

Sure, they just need to fix their annoying bugs on Android.

Everytime I leave a tab open and switch to another app, it’s a 50/50 whether I return to a black screen and am forced to restart it or it just works fine.

I’m using right now a Poco F5 with a 7+ gen 2 and, besides gpu intensive stuff (playing Genshin Impact on lowest settings doesn’t always give 60fps), I can’t tell the difference from more powerful phones.

I believe the reason they do this is because some resellers were unlocking the bootloader and installing a ROM with malware and selling that off to unsuspecting customers. This delay (and needing to be registered with a phone number) makes that process both impractical and easy to detect.

This is true, but also really stupid. The resellers that insert malicious roms into their phones always manage to get a privileged account from someone at Xiaomi that allows for instant bootloader unlock, so only legit customers get screwed by this.

It’s a bit shitty, but it still works. You need to link your Xiaomi account with Mi Unlocker in the dev settings and then wait from 3 days to 1 month.

But since I do that when I first get the phone, by the time I want to install a custom rom, it’s ready.

I was under the impression that was only for the Xiaomi.EU rom.

I’m not really into photographing, so I’m not into that a lot.

For regular photos without gcam, you can check the ones in the article.

I bought this phone and have no regrets.

The only thing lacking a bit for me is the software, but I’m just waiting for an official custom recovery and I’ll install a pixel-like rom.

When I first tried to install Arch, I gave up when I got confused with the documentation for an encrypted install.

But since I’ve discovered archinstall, it’s a dream to do and arguably faster to install than other distros.

Never said they didn’t, but Firefox does as well and the duality of criteria is astonishing.

Urr durr Brave bad Firefox perfect and always good.

Google uses Signal protocol to handle E2E for RCS communication:

Google SAYS they use the Signal protocol.

Without open-source applications, you have to trust these companies to do the right thing when they can track you and make money from it in every single step of the way. Same goes for Meta with Whatsapp.

In that case, couldn’t you just edit out the doxxing part?

What you are talking about is the operating system, not the cpu.

The ARM architecture allows much more performance for less power when compared to AMD64, because it runs simpler instructions.

The change to ARM chips on laptops will not make them work like phones, with the exception of much better standby.

He could set a million dollars on fire every day for the next 50 years and still have another million to spend that day.

Just wanna point out that net worth doesn’t equal money in the bank. If he tried to convert his worth (probably NVIDIA stocks) to money it would be very hard and only a percentage of the initial worth (because of shares dumping).

High price/performance, constant random hardware issues (on the previous generation the lens glass would shatter because who would have thought glass on metal contact is a bad idea), and a new software bug every two months that drains your battery and fucks something else.

companies like Fairphone and Framework and system76 have proven that it’s possible to support devices for a very long time when the bigger manufacturers told us it wasn’t possible, or even if it were possible that there was no market demand for seven years of software support. In 2016, sustainability and longevity were not words associated with new tech. They showed us the way.

I didn’t see the video with that much attention, but I’m pretty sure at some point he said something along these lines.

its far better to use a browser which was made from ground up to support user privacy and features rather then patching a browser which was made to compromises their user privacy

Unfortunately we don’t have that yet, since Librewolf is a fork of Firefox as well.

Also, if I had to guess by the number of forks, Gecko is way harder to fork than Chromium.
