It took them years to finally add reminders for the birthdays (and similar special dates) in the contact app.

Every time I get it (like once every 2-3 years) for me it’s never with diarrhea.

Just agonizing with a lot of vomits, fever, congestion, coughing, muscle pain etc.

Also crashed here and I’m using Eternity.

If everything goes well (I’m being optimistic)…living on an island and with 2 kids (1 already incoming).

And hopefully not travelling much for work. Ideally no more than 2 or 3 times per year.

I see this as part of the experience one has.

My rule is to not take anything that has information from the client.

For example I generally just create a txt file with a few example of “how to do this or that”. Generic stuff. So next time it takes me much less time to do the same thing.

If you want to keep it installed but automatically “disabled” 10 seconds after the screen goes off. Try “Ice Box” app. It will remain disabled until the next app launch.

Android for kids

In my pixel 5 for the past 2.5 years I charged using the “adaptive battery” slow charging function. (Which charges the phone in like 6 hours).

And during the day I charged up to 80% or 90% when my battery was going low for the rest of the day.

Also I was charging the phone every 2 or 3 nights because in the pandemic I was not using it a lot.

I think now the battery life is about the same. Maybe 5% worse than new. But it is also hard to test this because the os and the apps and the usage changed between day 1 and today.

An app called “Batt” reports 564 charging cycles though.
