Convenience? Ok. But safety? Are door viewers unsafe?

I should really switch away but haven’t had the money

Why just not ditch the doorbell camera altogether?

I set the notifications to vibrate and set a ringtone for all calls. I don't think you should respond to messages immediately.

The light bulb form factor was created hundreds of years ago for incandescent light bulbs. In this form factor, it is impossible to properly cool the LEDs. I used 12 pieces of Yeelight Pro 8W in a 10 m² room, and this room was as bright as the sky.

The latest Chinese smartphones use new S/C batteries. They have a capacity of 6000-7000 mAh with even less overall weight.

Xiaomi 11i Hypercharge can go from 0% to 100% in 15 minutes. And it's a 2021 phone.

I have battery powered fan from Xiaomi.

I think the charge controller counts the amount of energy that has passed through it.

These are my own observations. Of course, I can put up with these shortcomings, but why should I if I can just use Firefox? It is the only non-Chromium browser that is more flexible thanks to css support.

Brave Browser Caught Redirecting Users Through Affiliate Links Also, I found Brave to be bloated with crypto/AI features. That being said, I see no reason to use it instead of Firefox.

android, and I mean all of them, lags like hell on 2Gb RAM

False. The key is the software you use. I use Lineage OS without Gapps, most apps from F-droid and my mid-range Samsung runs pretty smoothly with 2GB of RAM.

Did you know that not everyone on Lemmy has or wants a Google Pixel?

Using the Internet without an adblocker sucks. This is many times worse than a theoretical attack on the browser.

My friend's phone screen broke. So whenever he received an incoming call, he would take a wired mouse out of his pocket and connect it to his phone to answer the call.

Can't yt-dlp download high bitrate videos? I think I saw this option in the list of formats.

Yes, it's true. Most of the talk about Creality printers is based on their early models. I had a first gen Ender 3 and it was terrible. I had to calibrate it and adjust the screws after every print. But then I switched to the K1 Max, and it became much better.

Google Pay is the most underrated product in terms of privacy. Just think, you're disclosing your financial status and consumer habits to the world's largest advertising company.
