I can't speak to GrapheneOS since I've never tried it.

I will say that my son has the 6a, and I don't recall him complaining about it. My wife had the 6 from when it came out until the 7 came out and we traded that thing in as fast as we could because of the issues, but the 7 ended up doing the same things.

I'm still rocking my S21+ from 2ish years ago and it's going strong. I hate the bloat, but it wasn't as bad as I heard Samsung can be. I couldn't tell you anything about the S22 or S23 generations.

It just seems like smartphone innovation has become stagnant. I'm hoping for the new fairphone due to the repairability. I dont want to buy the fairphone 4 due to it being over 2 years old already. I've found that I don't need some beefy top of the line phone for what I use phones for. In fact, it seems like phones are having issues being actual phones now. In the past year, just trying to make calls has been horrible. I can't believe how bad it's gotten. I have so many dropped calls or poor reception, but my phone will show 4+ bars with 5G and will still stream music and do GPS navigation without issue. But make a phone call, nope, the primary function it's supposed to have, it just says fuck you.

They've been trash phones since the 4. My wife and i had the 3s and they were great phones.

My wife has been through both the 6 and 7 now and is constantly having issues with the hardware and some minor issues with the software. Phones overheating and shutting off just from browsing the web, poor battery life, screen completely dying, apps like spotify and facebook just not loading or crashing, the phone freezing up and not accepting any screen or button input, the phone calling 911 by itself.

I didn't hear great things about the 5 either. But it seems like their marketing department knows what it's doing because the 8 sounds like it's getting rave reviews yet again.

I'm hoping fairphone brings their new phone to the US.

I gotta say, Hatchbox has not done me wrong yet. I've tried other brands, and I always come back to Hatchbox because it just works. Other brands I've tried will clog and string or seem fine then just do weird stuff in the middle of prints.

Great prints and post processing BTW. I'm currently working on a Mando helmet as well. Posted mine a few days ago. It's still in post processing (painting currently) and not going to be done for Halloween unfortunately. Maybe I'll have the helmet done along with some armor for next year.

Exactly, you can pick up pretty decent used ones on ebay. I grabbed an LSI 9207-8i for $41 shipped. Plenty of SATA ports now.

I appreciate all the tips, I'm not very artistic at all, and it probably would have looked a lot worse before everyone here commented lol. I want to do it right, so I probably won't get it completely done before I take my kids trick or treating. So my current goal is to at least get it primed, sanded, and the base coat of paint on. I still have to cut the face shield I got, tint it and mount it inside. I saw some pics that gave me some ideas. Would you recommend velcro tape for the interior for foam pads and the face shield, so it's all removable? Or do you have a better method?

I didn't even know that was a thing, looks like I'm returning the primer I got. Thanks.

I was debating on giving it a worn/rough look. I still haven't really decided. I think I'm going to shoot for a red/black theme with red being primary. Probably a darker red and I was thinking of using a matte black. I just am not sure about how I'm going to utilize the black.

Definitely going to be priming it tomorrow though. Then I need to run somewhere and pick out my colors.

Yea I've spent the last week to week and a half getting it epoxied together, using modeling putty to fill gaps and divots, and sanding.

It's a bunch of people upset with the company's CEO or whatever over personal views. The browser itself wasn't that bad after you disabled the ad and crypto stuff, which they heavily pushed on you.

I had switched to it from Chrome last year but ended up not caring for it, so I went to Firefox and Librewolf. People can use whatever the hell they want, idgaf. But for those who will eventually end up complaining about YouTube ads and continue to use Chrome, I have no sympathy for if you can't take the few minutes to download and install a new browser and move your favorites over.

If everyone who could WFH did, I'm sure the lower carbon emissions from so many fewer cars on the road would have been a large help. Buuut noooo gotta be in the office so you can see me type a little.

About the same here, just canceled last night before I even knew about this. Got my vessel sea worthy within the last week so I decided it was time. Timing was perfect.

Seems like

Or you can download all of your kids shows and host it on a Plex or jellyfin server for them.
