On Should you repair your phone or replace it? We did the math - Android Authority ·
I've had phones since I was 15. (They were available then for ok prices but used prepaid then) I used most phones about 2 years and got a new one. In all those years, 45 now I've lost 1 phone in a train and dropped 1 where the glass broke. This happened in my own house so I used my insurance to fix my phone, 100 own risk. And it was worth it a replacement would've been 1300 euros.

On Google is getting tougher on Android apps that use too much memory ·
Sigh.. what is google doing? My phone has 16+12GB memory. (Honestly don't need the extra 12 but ok) And I've not seen memory use go above 7GB ever. With 3 games open , browsers with maybe a 100 tabs total and a bunch of other apps. What is considered "too much"?

On Google begins rolling out Android’s controversial new sideloading flow ·
I agree, how many apps don't mention buying anything for the app to be useful. Or games that show videos completely unrelated to the game itself. I also block ads network wide and over vpn when I'm out. Even this causes some apps to freak out.

On GrapheneOS isn't pulling any punches in its beef with Revolut ·
There's no audience, not enough people complaining about this. They don't care. The EU just wants to ruin thing getting doctors and engineers in wasting tax payers money and cause housing issues.

On Samsung follows LG in killing Smart TV apps that rent out your internet ·
I have a Samsung but I don't let it connect to the internet. I use it as a 'dumb' (normal) tv. Everything else goes through my shield or RPI and pc.

On OnePlus confirms OnePlus 16, its first flagship after US exit, is coming soon ·
It's quite annoying they left us to rot. Been a OnePlus fan since the 6T and gotten OnePlus everytime after that.

On I tried Android Auto again after 7 years, and I still hate it ·
Hmm use it daily and for the heads-up display I don't have and don't miss it's fine. Looks like a skill issue.

On For the first time in years, I'm thinking about giving up on Google Pixel phones ·
My last Google phone was the nexus 6. Screen was big but everything else sucked. Battery life even after replacing it with a new one with a little bit more mAh.. still barely a day. And the tensor chips are kinda crappy compared ro Qualcomm's Snapdragon.

On I tested this year's two best camera phones to crown a winner ·
I'm rather happy with my OnePlus 13 camera setup. I e never been able to do anything special with my phone camera wise. But since the op13 it's been amazing. Low light shots are amazing (low light as in pitch black)

On Meta now lets you pay for the pleasure of using Facebook ·
Wow... Glad I'm completely off that abomination. Noticing lots of people either uninstalled the Facebook apps or completely delete their accounts. If I'm honest I hope the platform dies.
