A pocket linux pc would be great. Why do you want to keep the sim in the normie phone? Or is that just in case you get a handheld that doesnt have a sim slot?


Whats the issue with taking (1) and/or (3) in international trips? Is it about those countries that want to search you phone at the airport?


Yea, maybe not a bad idea, depending on the price and how many years of updates it still has.


Ive used Insular, that creates a “work” profile, mainly because the apps become somewhat hidden and it allows for a different password than the main profile. So I can share my main pin for other people to use my phone while still keeping the banking apps out of reach. But some apps just wont work if they detect a custom rom or even unlocked bootloader, even in insular.


[Question] Two phones setup for longevity and privacy
Ive been using custom roms to greatly extend the lifespan of my phone (still using a xiaomi mi9t from 2019, running smoothly on A15, with lineageOS). Some apps, like banking apps, or gov apps sometimes require a stock android and locked bootloader. But, besides the stock spyware, stock roms become unusable in 2 to 3 years, forcing an upgrade. Im thinking of getting a cheap 2nd phone to keep with stock android to use banking/gov apps and to leave at home. This way i could use my primary phone with a custom rom and have it working for way longer than 3 years, with _less_ spyware, and wasting less money (depending on the price of that 2nd phone). Does this seem like a decent strategy considering how android is moving? **Important question:** If the cheap phone gets outdated, would it be safe to use it for banking considering i wouldnt install other apps or use a browser in that phone? The brands available here (brazil) are mostly motorola, samsung, lg, xiaomi and realme (no pixels, nothings, fairphone, pinephones,...). What would be the best options for these two phones? The 2ndary phone should be cheap and reliable (gonna be used like once a week, but should last as long as possible) and 1ary phone should have unlockable bootloader and have good rom support for many years (i hope this niche wont die soon). Banking on the browser is not an option anymore in my situation. I think it wont be around for long in the rest of the world too.

Alright. I guess it depends on the types o tasks we have, and how our memories behave.


These home chores are not that complex that I need remiders. But I do have a list of stuff to buy, like food and cleaning products, on a shared text file (a shared google keep note actually, forgive me for my sins), and every tuesday or so one of us goes to the market to get those (we alternate).

Basically, whenever I have time to work on something, I try to do the most important and time sensitive things on my todo list. If I dont have enough time to do those, then I wont, and thats it, what can I do?


Getting notifications about my todo lists is just annoying to me. When i wanna look at what i need to do i just open the list and look at it. I prefer not to pollute my notification with that


Its not a glitch, it is putting word after word just as it was programmed to do.


They probably cant do this unilaterally. Maybe gog paid for those copies and they are limited in quantity.
