  • Seems promising but it looks like they're still working on adding stuff like suggestions at the moment which I can't do without. I'll give it a proper try once they're implemented

  • Weasels are weasily identifiable and stoats are stoatally different

  • Hmm I'll give that a try, I don't think I'll stick with 60Hz but it will be interesting to see the difference

  • How does CalyxOS bypass the root detection?

  • Don't notifications only work if you install it with Google play services though? I need notifications to work reliably

  • Yes Tailscale or perhaps just a direct Wireguard VPN is something I want to look into at some point. I want to get everything else on my server set up first before I worry about external access though (I'm also slightly paranoid about exposing anything to outside connections even if it is as safe as Tailscale)

  • Oh I never realised Xiaomi wasn't available in the US. But yes I agree, I was interested in CalyxOS and LineageOS until I realised they weren't even as secure as stock Android. LineageOS still interests me slightly just because of how unrestricted it is, but I probably won't try it unless I have major issues with GrapheneOS

  • Yeah it was cheap enough even if it only lasts me a couple of years I won't feel ripped off! I only looked at Pixels as I specifically wanted to run GrapheneOS over stock Android any of the other custom ROMs

  • Yeah Immich is good enough at the moment, as you said it's a small team and it's completely free. I'm also planning on checking out Nextcloud as a replacement for general cloud storage soon. I've heard mixed things about the aurora store, especially since the no account feature just seems to rely on a bunch of anonymous gmail accounts they made and from what I've seen they randomly get blocked. If I was to completely avoid Google play services I'd probably use obtainium or f-droid, but as I need Google play services anyway it doesn't seem like I'm compromising much by using the Google play store as well.

    Interesting to hear the battery life is a GrapheneOS specific issue, I guess that's a compromise I can deal with as it's still enough to get me through the day! And yes I think you're right about me just being used fo the iOS keyboard, I'm sure I'll get used to this one soon.

    I've found the chromium reader mode now, I didn't expect it to be under accessibility settings!

  • I got the 8a sealed off of ebay for £260, I don't see the 9a dropping to that price any time soon. I wasn't willing to spend any more than that as I'm still not sure if I'm switching permanently or not. Had I not got such a good price for the 8a I probably would have waited and got a 9a

  • I think it's mostly a me issue, I have this issue with every fingerprint sensor I've ever used (phone or otherwise)

  • What's your average screen on time? Mine is usually 2-3 hours. I've been using the 80% charge limit, but even without that I don't think it would last 2 days

  • I don't think so, where would I check that?

  • I've looked at that quite a lot, "system apps" is almost always the biggest user from 20-40%. After that it does seem to match with whatever apps I have used the most (usually Jerboa at the top). It doesn't seem like there's any apps running in the background constantly using battery, I thought KDE connect might use a lot as I have that set to always run but thats always listed at <1%

  • I haven't switched away from Google maps yet (I never used Apple maps on iOS). I know it's not ideal but I very rarely use it so I haven't looked at any alternatives yet

  • iOS does this as well so I have no idea how people manage to forget their passcodes

  • I've always thought the fact that the LockScreen is just one massive advert tells you everything you need to know about fire tablets!
