Very cool. Thanks for sharing. Not perfect for the usual reasons, but very memorable.

Yes, Sir.

Here's mine: Dreaming of an Organic World.

😉 Just following Wikipedia's statement.

Regarding the US reception, I don't know. 🤷‍♂️ But,

The 4G has this Xioami spec:

• 2G: GSM: 850 900 1800 1900MHz
• 3G: WCDMA:1/5/8
• 4G: LTE FDD:1/3/5/7/8/20/28
• 4G: LTE TDD:38/40/41

The 5G has this Xioami spec:

• 2G: GSM: 850 900 1800 1900MHz
• 3G: WCDMA:1/2/4/5/8
• 4G: LTE FDD:1/2/3/4/5/7/8/20/28/32
• 4G: LTE TDD:38/40/41
• 5G: n1/3/5/7/8/20/28/38/40/41/77/78

So, for connectivity, 5G is the way to go.

If I were to buy my own cheap phone, from my preferred local store, I would be limited to pretty much Samsung, and Chinese phones such as Xiaomi.

From experience using an extended Wifi (open area, multiple routers and extenders), Samsung models seem to have the most problem on the edges. People with Chinese phones (and in general, iPhones) don't seem to have this problem. So, Samsung is out for me. I would consider Samsung if my regularly-used Wifi signal is strong.

These damn phones last more than 3 years. Having a 2-3 year update policy (normal for cheap Chinese phones) are pretty wasteful. Therefore, the phone should be likely to support custom ROMs. For this purpose, Xiaomi is it.

Xiaomi models come with either MediaTek or SnapDragon CPUs. Since phones are often used a security device (2nd factor and such), having a hardware-backed storage is something to be desired. For this purpose, SnapDragon is it.

Two models I end up with:

XIAOMI Redmi Note 12 4G (8+256) ~USD$ 172

• CPU : Snapdragon 685 (Octa-Core 2.8GHz)
• RAM : 8GB LPDDR4X
• ROM : 256GB UFS2.2
• Display : 6.67" AMOLED 120Hz
• Back Camera : 50.0MP + 8.0MP + 2.0MP
• Front Camera : 13.0MP
• OS : MIUI 14 (Android 13)
• Battery : 5000 mAh

XIAOMI Redmi Note 12 5G (8+256) ~USD$ 245

• CPU : Snapdragon4 Gen 1 (Octa-Core 2.0GHz)
• Back Camera : 48.0MP + 8.0MP + 2.0MP
• OS : MIUI 14 (Android 12)
• Rest same as above.

Sorry about no price ranges. This store usually sells phones on the lower half of the spectrum, though. So, let's say they are mid prices.

I would personally would grab the 4G version. Faster CPU. Possibly newer Android. I am on Wifi most of the time. Don't need 5G.

Searching for something to make humor, didn't find any, but found this:

"Relationships are based on four principles: respect, understanding, acceptance and appreciation."

That's pretty wholesome, Mr. Gandhi.

From "Be awed. This is my domain." to "Man, now my legs are sticking out like a wabbit's."

"Your work is me. ASA you get over this, you'll see that you are happy."

Yes, there have been. They won in the same fields twice, different fields twice, but looks like none except Marie Curie that won in two different scientific fields.

The SSD's performance is so high, it's pretty much possessed. Sleeping function would probably require incantation.

The /c I found relaxing include:

• !Aminals@lemmy.best
• !andfinally@feddit.uk
• !animals@beehaw.org
• !animalswithjobs@lemmy.world
• !Awwnverts@lemmy.world
• !calvinandhobbes@lemmy.world
• !cyanideandhappiness@lemm.ee

Well, there are a lot to list (I only got to 'c'). One of the best things you can do is, post positive things that make you happy on the /c you follow for your fellow lemmies. The happiness this generates are multiple times worth the posts you read. Try it. Be a positive content relayer / originator yourself.

All of them is most likely the most accurate answer. The tilted examples would be: Genghis Khan is widely admired as a hero by the Mongolians and almost universally hated by others. Leopold II is admired by the Belgians but would be a criminal, probably crimes against humanity, today.

A Congolese man, Nsala, looking at the severed hand and foot of his five-year-old daughter who was killed and allegedly cannibalized by members of the Force Publique in 1904, as a result of Leopold's policy.

No, unfortunately, I haven't. Maybe sometime....

If they knew it wasn't going to work, why ask for it at the first place. Red herring? Ask for something big to trade for something smaller? Drama for the bored?

Opting out is likely impossible for people living outside the GDPR area right now.

You are right. The EMUI outside of China is still based on Android with its own eco-system, although the other EMUI is also based on HarmonyOS which may/may not be compatible with Android, especially in the future. It seems, the phone has disappeared from some international markets altogether, the countries being friendly to China or not, probably because consumers are worried that their phones wouldn't be supported by critical apps.

Well, you squeeze them, and they squeeze you back. Typical. Like, the US is not expecting that.

Besides the chips, there are still the OS. It'll take a while yet, if ever, for Huawei phones to gain traction again outside of China. What would you buy: Qualcomm/MediaTek/Huawei(SMIC) chip? What would you buy: Android/Huawei OS?

The bro is going 🤷‍♂️ .
