  • I have bought all my round 90ish phones in my collection second hand otherwise I would have no shot at affording it. I have bought a couple of lemons yes, but overall I got mostly quality stuff

    In my opinion if you set a limit on how much you want to spend and keep looking around that price point you can get some amazing deals. My top 3 are a Galaxy Note 9 in almost mint condition for 70€, a LG G8S for 60€ in excellent condition and a Galaxy S10E for 50€ with a cracked back (easy fix btw).

    Also the most important things to look out for are screen damages. OLED burn-in still is a very common issue and many LCD screens also have problems with very uneven backlights. I always demand a totally black and totally white image of the screen beforehand for that reason.

    Also with battery life its less of an issue than one might think. I only got a handful of phones where the battery life was really unusable (less than 3h of SOT). I remember the HTC One M8, 10 and U12 Plus as well as a Sony Xperia Z5 Compact, Honor V8 and Nexus 6P really being in an unusable state when getting them in terms of battery. Not bad i.m.o. for a sample size of 90.

  • I got it working but curiously enough the server needed to add the clients as introducers. Then it worked and I got a message on all devices that a new folder has been added and showing a UI that easily allowed me to add the folder.

  • I always added the "server" as an introducer but for some reason the server itsself gets a prompt to add all the folders from the client but the client doesn't get a list of all the folders the server is sharing which is what I'm after. The introducer does however work by directly giving me a list of all the other devices the "server" has been connected to. I'm using syncthing version 1.20.1 on my server btw.

  • Thanks, I have tried method you described but in my case it led to a total mess since the device I exported from and imported from then were indistinctable for all other devices causing issues.

    But thanks for telling me about syncthing fork! I will definitly check it out!

  • Intresting idea for sure. I don't really see this working out on "normal" laptops and desktops, for the simple fact that mouse and keyboard support on Android Apps is usually terrible. But for 2 in 1 devices that are used a lot in tablet mode this could be great. But then again ChromeOS offers exactly that.

  • No shit, almost no government does. There is already a big negative selection going on before that. Those who lick the boots of the party's leaders and or don't mind fucking over others to gain an advantage make the race.
