I wonder how much it'll cost here, and how long it will be before it gets delivered lol.

I remember it being a huge thing on r/cinematography and r/praisethecameraman

Honestly I'm not a fan of this move. Shorts is a bad format in general, and seeing more content being converted to this format doesn't bode well for the long run.

• What is the Wi-Fi card you're using? Some cards using a Realtek chipset have bad performance.
• Check and see if the antenna is being obstructed by the case on S920, or if there's anything metal nearby that could be causing interference.

As to how you can go about debugging it, that part is hard. I've suffered from frequent disconnections on my OpenWRT install on a router, and I had to trawl through the system logs (it's there on LuCI) to see what was triggering the disconnection when using the AP. After you find the line you think could be it, Google for it to see if anyone else has had similar issues. Ask on the OpenWRT forums since people on there might have come across it and have a solution.

You should also check to see if a reconfig of a very basic AP triggers the issue.

Back in the day, it was a really great way to find new apps. And by back in the day, I mean when it was still called the Android Market.

Its initial transition to Play Store in the ICS era also wasn't too bad. It still kept a lot of the good things from Android Market. But since the launch of Lollipop, things have really deteriorated. It might not have really been the fault of Google, but there's a lot more noise with subpar apps that crowd the store now. There's also the incessant ads for sketchy apps featured prominently that leaves a bad aftertaste in your mouth.

Like you, I've probably spent like 30 minutes on the Play Store over the last 4 years probably. Every app I want today is either on F-Droid, or already pre-installed on my phone. Or they're PWAs, and it's easy to install them just by going to the website.

Nextcloud News, Nextcloud Notes, Nextcloud, and DAVx5/ICSx5. I also really like FairMail; it's one of the best email clients I have tried.

The former set of apps allows me to ditch most of Google's services.

Yes, most definitely! It's the reason I avoid Android tablets in general. I have a random Android tablet from Lenovo that runs Lollipop and is stock-ish.

Used it for about a year, and now it sits as a paperweight.

There have been very few good affordable Android tablets: both the variants of the Nexus 7, and then the only other one I can recollect is the Amazon Fire Tablet 7, which launched probably sometime in 2015 or 16.

Right? You'd use something like that if you wanted to kill something...but I guess the Zuck just thinks differently to us all lol

Yes, definitely! I don't have as much use for a tablet these days, which is an unfortunate thing. My phone is big enough to cover most use cases, and my iPad 2017 is too big to be used comfortably for most things - it's not ergonomic to hold upright in most conditions, it's slippery without a folio case (and cases are hard to find unless you get an official Apple one which is very expensive), typing on it is a pain because of how thin it is, and the only saving grace it has in terms of typing is the mini floating swipeable keyboard added to iPad OS in recent years.

I'd definitely love to run something like a Nexus 7 again! Perfect form factor for most things, including media consumption, reading books, and much much more!

I add it through their web interface. I signed up several years ago, but I spent 2020 and 2021 updating OSM for my city to be as good as Google Maps for major places, posting their open and close times, better pin placement and such.

Kind of interesting to see this whole thing playing out to be honest.

And the only reason why Threads has that many users in the first place is because of their user share on other platforms owned by Meta. Mastodon has been around for a long time, and ignoring the fact that it's decentralized, the users on there have generally come very organically, unlike on Threads.

Man, I always wanted a Nexus 7, but it was never easy to get one in my country back then. And then Google officially partnered with Amazon and Flipkart to launch the tablet...right after I'd gotten a new iPad.

So that they can abandon it in short order like they do with their messaging apps

Thanks, I did have 2 minds about the sources, will do that from the next time onwards!

Only the OP One. I tend to avoid them whilst looking for new daily driver phones.

Interesting, I saw some of this UI on my Android TV last week. Unsure if that's how it's always been or if they were doing some A/B testing. It was refreshing to use a UI that was intuitive, NGL.

I recently pulled cables around the house to kind of make the Internet experience better at home. One of the considerations in getting a new router was for it to be supported by OpenWRT for the last 2 major releases.

I found that it becomes a lot more easier to find good routers when you know good software is going to work on it no matter what. Ended up going with a new gen Mi Router 4C. Opened the box, set it up to get the STOK code, and immediately flashed OpenWRT on that.

The last phone I tried it on was a Redmi Note 8 back in 2021. I waited for a year using the stock ROM, and finally applied for the bootloader unlock. Got my code fairly quickly (7 days), and unlocking from there was a breeze. I don't think the process has changed much these days, but yeah, it's a pain having to go through that to unlock your bootloader.

Man, I loved ICS. I've spoken about this before on a post from a few days ago.

Here's when I used ICS as my main operating system on my computer for over a year

Was that typed from your Galaxy phone from Tapatalk?
