You are running a device that is nearly a decade without updates?

I completely agree with what you said. It’s been years since I bought any games and yet my experience just gets better and better on Steam, especially as a Linux user.

YotoPhone. They also made a version 2 & 3. Unfortunately, Yota went bankrupt.

In particular, it means you can’t easily pick up, use, and put down your phone and maintain charging.

I strongly disagree. While you can’t “maintain charging”, it’s extremely easy to change from charging to using and back again. If you want to use your phone while charging, wireless charging doesn’t make sense, but if you want to quickly use your phone (like sending a quick text), it’s nicer than having a cable attached.

Can it? Certainly. People have been doing so for years now.

Should you? None of us can answer that for you. None of us know your needs, your technical proficiency, or your willingness to put up with bugs/quirks

If you’re interested, you should go read/listen/watch the experiences of users and ask questions once you have some specific ones.

Some are, like Bitwarden or Wikipedia or Jellyfin, are on fdroid too without Google’s bullshit. Some even have functionality they’re not allowed to have in the Play store.

To be fair, there are also some features that also rely on Google’s builds. For example, Bitwarden’s “Log in with Device” only works on the Google Play version.

You really can’t compare any other country to the Great Firewall of China.

I figured, I was looking for the model number so we could see specs, age, etc.

What model? I’m running Linux Mint on a ThinkPad x201 and love it!

I’m surprised Disney would be the reason. Epic has enough reasons all on their own.

… but if you take inflation into account if the price is stable then goods are getting relatively more expensive cheaper.

FTFY

What’s the problem? I’m not on Android 14 yet, but my quick search says the pebble app should work.

Except when the third-wheel is footing the bill ;)

No, to be more exact, it’s 14 years (you have to go back one more year).

That’s patently false. Ever since Apple introduced their own silicon (A4 released in 2010), they’ve generally had the best performance of any ARM chip. It’s not that the competition is bad, it’s just Apple has historically been excellent at recruiting top engineers and executing their products. For example, in the Intel-era, there were multiple years publications said the best Windows laptop was a Mac.

The charging and headphone ports don’t work (so need to use wireless charging) and battery life is quite poor.

Have you looked into having your S10 serviced? I was willing to have my charging port changed a few weeks ago, but the technician chose to clean it first, and that’s worked perfectly and was even cheaper. Is your battery in poor health and might need to be replaced?

What is the reason your S10 is on it’s last legs? If you see yourself needing a lot more power, maybe the FP5 isn’t the best bet for you because you’re right, it might not be useful to you in the later years of it’s life. However, I’m not sure what people are doing with the current top-of-the-line SoCs to justify that much power (if people want it to play games or for non-practical reasons, that’s fine too). As an S10e user, I feel like we’ve come to a point where my current phone should be powerful enough for the foreseeable future. My only issues are I’m no longer getting official software updates (I’ll probably go with a Custom ROM soon), my battery life is a bit shorter than I’d like, and parts are getting hard to come by with most being “new old stock” at best.

This was mentioned a couple of weeks ago on the Vergecast. I was wondering if someone was going to get assigned the article, and here it is!

There are lots of good arguments against autonomous vehicles, but “they’ll eliminate low paying jobs” isn’t one of them.

IANAL or a resident of California, but I think you’re right. According to California Penal Code § 594 PC, vandalism is when a person either “Defaces with graffiti or other inscribed material”, “Damages”, or “Destroys” property, which doesn’t describe this act. I would think some sort of “mischief” is the most they could reasonably charge someone with. Maybe “public endangerment” but if you did this to a driver, they would just remove the object, so I think there’s an argument of who is causing that public endangerment.
