I just want a bus to go vaguely near where I work so I can stop driving for commuting. I cycle of the weather's right for it but I really don't like the heat or rain.

Ignoring all other concerns, Brave is simply the buggiest browser I've ever used, both on desktop and mobile. It's the only one where I have to regularly switch to a different browser due to sites not loading properly.

Banking apps are fine on GrapheneOS and o think smart watches are too but can't personally confirm.

The only one I've ever really stuck with is Arch. I tried Pop_OS for a while but it wasn't for me.

My home server runs Debian purelynfor stability but it's a lot more work to get setup than Arch is.

First party controllers generally are leagues behind third party options these days if you ask me.

This sounds like absolute hell.

I'll never understand wireless keyboards. They just sit on the desk? Why go through the hassle of charging it?

Pretty sure Google also spies through the OS.

Free games aren't an interesting incentive?

I forgot Action Launcher even existed. I used to use it years ago. Just downloaded it again and it's certainly changed over the years.

My current server is anything but power efficient as far as I can tell. It was thrown together during lockdown from various older server components bought from eBay.

Ah nice to see that it is actually feasible then. I imagine I'd have an even easier setup too as I intend to just use Linux with all my selfhosted software in Docker containers.

My server at the moment is anything but energy efficient. It's an old Xenon (can't remember the exact model) so definitely not Raspberry Pi levels of efficient. My biggest concern would be the GPU idling but it seems there are power management precautions I can take with Linux so maybe it wouldn't be so bad.

I'm not sure it would be much good or much of an upgrade compared to what I already have now.

I absolutely wouldn't have this issue as I could happily reboot whenever I wanted and it wouldn't inconvenience anyone.

I've said for years that Siri is simply better than Google Assistant for actually controlling your phone. Music being the best example because Google Assistant is determined to funnel you into as many Google services as possible.

How exactly is a Pixel locker down and not customisable?

Lo for the same reason it's hi and not high.

The Nexus 7 would be absolutely pointless today. It's barely bigger than most phones.

I had one at the time but the form factor was simply inferior to either a 10inch Android offering or any iPad.

It does have swiping though. It's ripped straight put of gboard.

What's wrong with this?
