What would you recommend for a gaming machine with some pretty old hardware (1080Ti etc), PopOS or Bazzite? I mainline Mint, but I have this hardware coming in and I’d like to get an idea of what I want to do with it before it gets here.

Aren’t there challenger banks that have website interfaces?

Eh I don’t think that’s an actual bank. There’s a lot of unregulated banking adjacent entities that are popping up without regulations or government backed security. Be careful when putting your money in any of these.

I really hope you’re wrong

Hey, could you expand on why you prefer eSIMs? I’ve seen this idea in many places but couldn’t find any reasons to prefer eSIMs over physical.

Check your sources, we have had issues on F-Droid. Better than google play store though, because the average F-doid user is more tech savvy than the average GPlay user.

If you can get your hands on a pixel, get grapheneOS. If not, get LineageOS or degoogle your phone. With LineageOS you’ll have to make do with internet banking instead of banking apps.

Blockchain?

I think accurate results are from a zero to full charge monitoring process. i.e, you need to put the phone through one continuos charging cycle to 100 percent before you can get reliable estimates.

Yeah, the model specific ones are a pain to actually start using. It seems like a general case problem though - every phone on the planet needs a battery so it only makes sense every phone should also come with a battery optimizer deeper than just limiting charging to 80 percent.

If it’s a flagship you can go way farther than five years. My last flagship lasted 7 years or so with very heavy use. I expect my current one to last longer.

Thanks for the recommendation, I’ll check it out. Any chance you used Plus Plus Battery?

Yeah I’m also using the android system settings, and funnily enough I found the reason for the 80% figure on accubattery.

Hasn’t been updated in some time has it? Damn, accubattery was goated. Such a shame they didn’t just open source it in the first place, but I can respect the labour they put into it.

Damn, I hope they know what these pieces are worth and at the least sell it to some worthy collector who knows how to take care of them.

Comparing your real, everyday life to someone else’s highlight reel is so much worse. I have been so much happier since getting rid of most social media. All the people I love, I can catch up with via phone calls.

I’ll be honest, if I was inviting a friend of a few decades to a vacation I would both check that he could afford it and if not just outright sponsor the whole thing.

Whats the difference between “Fraud” and “Defraud”?
