Too bad LG got out of the phone biz. They had the best dacs and some good phones.

That means the audio still goes through another DAC, lowering the sound quality, compared to an analog 3.5 jack. Also, who wants to further risk wearing out\vreaking their charge port, jack inputs almost seem like they can’t break.

Because that’s when the picture was taken.

Yeah, but I still feel like the majority of people are stupid. That’s kind of how apple got such a huge market share to begin with. People just happily locked themselves in to a closed garden with shit for options.

The better software part is pretty debatable, but dex is cool for the people who use it.

Yeah, but I’m not paying an extra $500 for a stylus. Either way I think I’ll have at least another year out of this thing.

I meant redmagic 10 pro plus. My bad.

As for the samsungs:

Because it’s priced higher than it should be, it has a slightly lower performance chip, a much lower capacity battery, and older battery tech that will degrade faster and charges slower. The best redmagic out specs the samsungs in every way but picture quality and does it for $500 less.

Yeah. Id pick up a redmi 10+ pro if it had a pen and sacrifice away the SD card slot. Id at least have a huge battery and awesome cooling.

Yeah, but I still really like my micro SD card slot and pen on my note 20 ultra. Dunno what I’ll do when I have to replace it.

The restrictions on apk access over the past 10 years have already been an annoying pita. Many of the best power user apks have had to gut themselves over their original functionality, all while obtaining root access over your owned devices has become harder or next to impossible.

Kind of residential. It was a 4 lane road they were crossing.

“probably won’t remember”?

Man. Fuck this kid. I’m not that old…

What?

Middleman or straight from valve, the battery shouldn’t cost nearly 100 bucks.

They praise the steam deck, which is good. But they still charging $100 just for it’s replacement battery. Way too expensive.

Oh, sweet! It’s about damned time.

That’s one of my go to’s when fixing phones. FYI, the plastic playing cards work great for that.

It doesn’t do that in sleep mode, though. Only while screen is on. In sleep mode it will cycle.

I thought it was 90%, but baybe it is 80. If you leave it plugged in while asleep all the time you may still be charge cycling to max capacity a lot, which is bad for the battery, though.

Regardless, having to replace the battery every few years isn’t terrible, except for the price of like $85 is damned expensive for it.

If he understood batteries he probably wouldn’t have left it plugged in all the time. That wouldn’t be an issue unless he always left it in sleep mode, so it would short charge cycle every other day.

Few drop of 91% isopropyl alcohol all around the edges of the battery and waiting a few minutes helps a lot if you’re afraid of too much heat.
