The first Android phones were really exciting. I got a Samsung Galaxy (no numbers, no letters, just Galaxy) in 2009. AMOLED screen - the first Android experience for me. Unfortunately Samsung dropped the update support really soon - which got me into custom ROMs - another exciting thing…

I always buy a new phone and a new case and after some years I ditch the case because it wouldn’t hurt to buy a replacement and it feels like a new slimmer version of my trusted phone…

I don’t need the audio jack, but I guess it doesn’t hurt. There are phones that have all that, but unfortunately they are at most mid-range phones which isn’t what I’m looking for.

I agree. I was completely unaware of that button and I was looking everywhere in the settings for an option to delete (accidentally) saved drafts or even clear all of them if necessary. Maybe we two are the only ones but it seems a rather unintuitive location. I understand why it’s there: to use a drafted comment several times in different threads, but the feature I was looking for was to delete a draft and it didn’t occur to me to look in the editor for such a feature.

My dog refuses to do 2FA so that’s not going to happen anytime soon… /s

There is no such thing as too much RAM…

Update: We switched to Kitchen Owl as suggested in the comments.

We switched to Kitchen Owl and it works out okay. The recipe management is nice in theory, but doesn’t work well for most of our recipe sources (because of parsing issues most websites aren’t recognized and ingredient amounts are not parsed correctly for German recipes), but we usually just create an empty recipe with a link to the original. This isn’t perfect - in hindsight we should have stayed with Bring! because it just works better. We are hoping that the issues will be fixed sometime in the future although I am not sure what to expect…

My home server is called Home Alone, my web server Carl Lewis. At work we use names of robots or computers from movies, games or comics.

I bought some USB-C dongles when I switched, but I only used them once in several years to connect my phone to a rental car which had no Bluetooth audio.

It is explained in the article though…

You know you’re allowed (some might even say supposed) to have different keys for different machines. They’re basically free to generate and take up to no space.

We were really trying hard, but there were no Android devices with FireWire 400 port available so we couldn’t connect to our developer team’s hardware…

INWX because it’s a local provider which seems decent.

I think in general you can expect popular phones to have a higher chance of getting custom ROM support. The Google Pixel range would be a safe bet. Most custom ROMs maintain a list with devices they are supporting or planning to support, but as far as I know there is no site combining these information.

For the exact reason they are posting this. What if some service you are referencing has breaking changes? If you pinpoint the exact version it will have no effect to your project unless you decide (hopefully after some consideration) to upgrade the service version number.

The color choices are interesting. White or three different kinds of black (okay one is a greenish black)…

Have you tried changing the power saving settings for Boost?

Some brands are more aggressive with killing inactive apps than others. It would help to know which phone OP is using.

Can’t wait to tell my wife she has to create a merge request to change our plans for tonight. 😉
