I had both HTC One's and while the camera on both of them especially the m7 was dire purple durple shite, the battery life was never an issue for me and was when I first started seeing 6hr+ SOT constantly.

No fuggin doubt.

And you know what irks me more is when you buy things from places like eBay or other third party seller websites (where you've consented to their cookies/terms) your email address you use with them is then in the hands of a goofball who's had their ~~personal~~ business PC been compromised.

The few times I use eBay the email addy I use on their sees my inbox flooded. Fucking shitshow.

I'm a capt' three phones at the moment

While I've had my backup Samsung M12 with a 1pmobile SIM in my work locker for a couple of years now simply as an emergency backup, I'm also currently rocking two Xiaomi's so I can test remote connections to a family members server via work WiFi/Tailscale.

My main issue is while I wear cargo pants at work, carrying two phones is more wieldy than you'd think and there's also something else I did notice the other day with the Find My Device news.

I forgot where, I left my main phone the other day and my locker is a literal Faraday cage according to FMD? 10 minutes of panic :/

No doubt, and there used to be an app called "all for one IR remote" or something like that that I can't find from a cursory skim.

It allowed programming of codes from your existing remotes and also the bonus of using a URI for a IR code which then meant you could fire them off with other apps.

Problem these days is the hardware that supports IR Blasters is controlled by the likes of Xiaomi, and the apps available to use said hardware is limited to in-built system apps :/

Main thing is Capt, you're here to tell us your best stories.

Tell us your most favourite food please, and how you came across it? Mine's carbonara and an Italian girlfriend who loved that shit.

I've never used an eSIM but have used and liked having dual physical SIM's.

But I've also lost a phone now (first time for everything 😡) and can kinda see the bonus of eSIM's in that regard instead of having to wait a couple of days for a replacement.

Is there no sign of a Pixel 8a?

edit: I should make wishes more often

You are probably going to say "but those are Lenovo laptops, not Motorola phones".

I asked for sources on Motorola phones being compromised, but I ain't seeing that still?

Aspersions don't equal anecdotes > evidence. You show me that and I'll shout louder than you.

It is an option, believe me, you're just doing what your employer tells you to.

But they can't force you to use WhatsApp unless you signed a contract of employment stating so? And if you did that the onus falls on you.

Obvious elephant in the room is some of these mobile environments are stigmatized by the need for "security" and taking away the freedom of what a desktop OS offers.

The very best example is the background playback of audio on a website called YouTube.com.

Why you can't play things in the background (yes, I have Kiwi etc and can do this) on mobile is very very telling, and will only get more restrictive.

Exactly, and the way it work(ed) on reddit was a non-plus from the start, especially if you modded moderately large subs hence me never blocking anyone other than those annoying accounts.

The art of ignoring is key ;)

Simple lockscreen screenshot I found from 10 years back, and where I was making AndroidLost persistent across factory resets on a Galaxy S2
