Yep, you can get an m.2 NVMe to USB3 converter very cheap and stick any m.2 nvme drive in it. (Also sata versions exist for m.2 sata)
Much safer solution for your data.
Different person, but I have had my Xperia 5ii for 4 years. It hasn’t gotten any updates for 2.5, but in Belgium, bank apps and a national identity authentication app HAVE to work because the national ID reading software doesn’t work on atomic linux distros so I can’t risk putting Lineage on it to extend its lifespan. The fingerprint sensor stops working 4-12 hours after a reboot due to a prolific software bug and the battery life has degraded quite a bit.
Maybe the FP6 would be a good successor. FP5 actually got 3rd for me when I took the MKBHD blind photo test after the pixels, the camera seems quite good now.
Yeah, I’m sorry but also the policy of OSM to not update road closures (and also no standard way to do it) until they reach a few months to a half year makes it almost useless for navigation in places with multiple construction projects throughout a year
I can get 20 minutes added to my 30 minute route trying to find a good detour because organic maps just keeps shoving me back to a closed route.
There is construction in different places 6-7 months of the year here. If I can’t trust organic maps to get me to my destination, then it is useless as a car navigation tool and I can’t switch from map services that update their maps frequently.
I wonder how financially viable it is nowadays
I had the same thing on Bazzite just with the local network, not a VPN.
I believe it has to do with the firewall. You have to open the port both incoming and outgoing for 53317.
But you literally have to be on the same network, so for example if both devices are on the same local network (hence local in the name) and your phone is on a VPN but your computer is not on a VPN, then it won’t work.
It should work if you VPN into your local network remotely so that both devices are on the same LAN, however, then that won’t work anyway because you have to have physical access to the device to accept the transfer (you could probably use a remote desktop to do that, but then it is getting complicated)
LocalSend.
No more USBs ever (outside of install media). So so simple, fast, and works on all devices and FOSS.
It is really the best UX of any file sharing app I have experienced (outside of airdrop I guess, but obvious problems there)
Okular is also a favorite of mine.
Gadgetbridge in just about the only one.
The problem is that the watches themselves use proprietary BS Bluetooth protocols with their own cryptic values to stop people from decoding their own devices unless you use their app…
I wanted to get an fp5, but all I have heard is fuck up after fuck up from fairphone.
Headphone jack removal, selling shit earbuds with “repairability” that they pull from the market (and support) a year after launch, CEO being an asshole publicly, android auto not working well, months long bad bugs, severe update delays, antennas being pretty bad overall, and now literally nonexistent support.
I almost feel like in 5-10 years it will come out that this whole time they literally have just been lying about their sustainability practices and paying factory workers fair wages just to sell for a higher price.
I wish I could get my polar H10 to work with it… For now I have to use the polar app and export manually via the web interface…
No, ssds have a ton of wear leveling where data is shifted around and not deleted. Deleting data wears out the SSD, so it is held as much as possible with the controller. SSDs are like 10% bigger than advertised just to prolong the life.
Even if you write the whole thing with random data then zeros, it will still have blocks in unaccessible (to normal users) places that contain old data.
Always best to use disk encryption or keep any sensitive data in filesystem encryption like plasma vaults or fscrypt.
Tons of stuff are not on fdroid due to requirements by fdroid, a longer process to push releases, etc…
It works for many apps, but there is IzzyOnDroid for much faster releases as well as dozens of fdroid repos for specific projects by default available on NeoStore.
I am not experienced enough to know the ins and outs of why fdroid is so difficult and slow for some devs, but it has been someone limited in apps at times because of it.
Really depends on what you consider grinding.
Pretty much all MMOs or PVEs have you grinding for gear (helldivers 2 I don’t feel is grindy in comparison, but some do)
Survival games like ark, valheim, etc… Have you grinding for bases and the next section of the game
Pretty much all PvP games (CS2, valorant, apex, starcraft, Rocket league, etc…) have you grinding out muscle memory skills
The antithesis to these are instance-based games where at max you grind aesthetic gimmicks, but in single player games they don’t have those like REPO where you always reset and fall guys where it is minigame based
The problem with these games is since you don’t have a “reward for work” (grinding), people get bored of them.
Yes they do. Plaque buildup leads to gingivitis and cavities. It is in one’s best interest to reduce plaque not because it makes your teeth look good, but because it will help you not have receding gums when you are older which leads to exposed roots, root canals, tooth replacements, etc…

Here is a long term study
https://pmc.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/articles/PMC6619286/
Both probing depth and clinical detachment loss of the teeth were improved with an electric toothbrush.
They have to be a bit more waterproof than a toothbrush though…
Holy shit I never knew that.
I really thought it was one of my apps that I used that wasn’t Foss because it was so useful.
Now I want to use it more!
Meh, that is just changing one tech giant for another. Both spy on you completely. It is not like either will be better for the consumer.
Though as a kind of “exception”, I think that charging poles for electric cars should have modbus or Ethernet and a local protocol (matter maybe?) to use with smart home systems for automation and cars should have a standard affordable way to check errors and status of sensors.
That’s because it is a cheap Chinese phone. Nothing does all of their R&D, engineering, software, etc… In China at the moment from the best anyone can tell. They only hire electronics and hardware engineers in China according to their postings.
The UK company registration seems just to not be another Chinese phone company so they have a marketing division there.
They are also owned by american investors.

We get a lot of advertising for it here in Belgium and tons of webshops support it, sadly. What a trash company.
