Why send it to the cloud when Excel is running on a perfectly capable hunk of silicon? That's doesn't make a lick of sense to me

Remembah to wash under ya foreskin. If ya don't, ya go ta hell before ya die.

I haven't updated my phone since I got it, never found a reason to

Out of curiosity why are you considering upgrading? My 4a 5g does everything I need, can't imagine upgrading it any time soon

This lack of context awareness is exactly why I don't even bother with current gen assistants

Have you considered therapy?

"10 1/4 Inches" - they knew what they were doing

Looks like it hasn't had updates since 2019, but if it ain't broke why fix it?

I've had my 4a 5g for 2 years now and have no issues with it. Uninstalled some of the G stuff I don't need, and with Greenify it lasts two full days with moderate usage. Would probably be even better with a custom ROM, but I go the other way and keep it stock android 11 with updates turned off. Rock stable with no frustrating unexpected changes, I went like 180 days without needing a reboot

Has a headphone jack and a decent camera, which are must-haves for me. I'm probably going to be keeping it for another 2-4 years like I did my last phone (LG G5) until it starts falling apart or becoming unreliable

I'd check out Greenify, it has root and nonroot modes. I've found it to greatly increase my deep sleep when used religiously even without root

...there's ads on Lemmy?

I'm with you there, but judging by Makita's complete lack of battery development in the last 20 years I don't see that happening

FFMPEG is a big, complicated can of worms. The commands you listed are actually more for the batch processing. The basic FFMPEG syntax is as follows:

ffmpeg -i 'inputfile.mp4' -options 'outputfile.mp4'

A typical basic command I do multiple times a day at work, would be to trim a 2 hour video starting 7 hours in. something like:

ffmpeg - i 'input.mp4' -ss 7:00:00 -t 2:00:00 - c copy -an 'output.mp4'

You can also work with codecs/filters (-c:v) etc. The best way to learn IMO is to just study examples.

The official documentation is here: https://ffmpeg.org/ffmpeg.html

A bit more user-friendly wiki is here: https://trac.ffmpeg.org/wiki/Encode/H.264

Guess the UK better get used to seeing "We're sorry, [AppName] is no longer available on your country."

That poor squirrel didn't stand a chance

I would just move on at step 3

Outlook does the same thing with Exchange services. It would kill my battery in a matter of hours

"RDBMS-backed CRUD persistence patterns" sounds totally like fake techno-jargon in a low-budget action movie

I think every house should have a decent drill and air compressor. After that, vibrating multi-tools can handle most other jobs, just sacrificing speed and accuracy.
