    I can only recommend against buying Xiaomi phones because they are shitty by design. My parents have Xiaomi phones and there are ads everywhere, including in the standard system apps.

    For example: The vanilla files app is hidden and you can only use it if you know what you’re doing and dig it up. Instead you have Xiaomi’s file manager app that not only lacks many features, but has the audacity to be infested with apps. When you start the app, you will get a full screen ad and can only continue to the proper app after a few seconds and even then there are banner ads still.

    If you install apps manually from apks, some Xiaomi app scanner launches to scan the apk. I doubt the scanner is effective or does anything useful, but it’s yet another opportunity to show full screen ads.




  • Plenty of reasons to need a powerful truck in America, particularly for contractors and the like, but fuck me.

    Nah, even for contracters there are far more practical options like the Ford Transit and Mercedes Sprinter style vehicles. The current Ford F-150, Dodge RAM, Cybertruck and so on are just impractical and a safety hazard to everyone else. You literally can’t see children in the driveway ahead of you. And most people who drive them aren’t even contractors.




  • That one was a reissue of the original GameCube controller with the original connector and everything. It works on the original GameCube and Wii and with the USB adapter that was released with it, you can use it or any other GameCube controller on the WiiU, Switch and maybe even Switch 2.

    This new controller looks like a GameCube controller, but is something entirely new. It is a modern wireless controller that mimics the GameCube controller shape and button layout but won’t work on the original GameCube, at least not without some additional adapter hardware
