My current phone and tablet has just 64GB of storage and I have not felt the need for more.

I feel the mainstream lemmy instances have attracted the reddit mob mentality where any deviation from the groupthink is treated as radicals or bots.

I would prefer two 2.5Gb ports but that sounds like a good router at that price.

Voyager is currently many versions ahead of the one listed on F-Droid. It is still usable but you may want to get the latest version from GitHub.

Just click no thanks and you should be able to read the article.

Use a phone with no Sim card and just connect to a WiFi hotspot when you need internet?

Unfortunately routers with wan speeds above gigabit remain expensive. I would assume that will be the case until faster than gigabit internet reaches mainstream worldwide which will be a very long wait...

Some people value a fresh new battery that can last rather than gamble on a similarly priced refurbished flagship with unknown battery degradation.

If speed is a requirement, a NVMe SSD with a USB adapter will perform much faster than a USB flash drive.

My ISP will provide an Optical network terminal with a 2.5G port. I will still need a router. Also I am not from the US.

Considering I don't have any wired devices capable of above gigabit speeds this may not be a bad option. The openwrt based software looks like a plus as well.

Used ones are Cheap but mostly Gigabit as 2.5 Gigabit routers aren't mainstream enough for the 2nd hand market to be flooded with them.

After some research, it seems there is a huge mark up for consumer grade routers outside of China.

For example a Asus ax6000 router with dual 2.5Gb ports cost only cost only $110 in china while a similar version I can get locally cost $300. Also there seem to be a local forum thread discussing those routers from and perhaps I am beter served finding answers there.

Also I tried pfsense some time ago with only Gigabit NIC and eventually repurposed the machine as a hypervisor. Maybe I can go back to pfsense but considering I need to get a 2.5Gb network card and the power requirements required for a software router to route 2.5G internet I am not too keen.

I think the 8MP ultrawide is probably a deliberate attempt to ensure they don't cannibalize their higher end phones. The poco x3 that was released 3 years ago had a 13mp ultrawide. Similarly priced phones released later downgraded the ultrawide cam.

I usually check navigation on both google maps & citymapper and follow the one that give the most sane directions.

I am supprised the federation bug wasn't more widely noticed. Maybe most people just interacted on their local communities.

I think federation is still broken. I can't see my post on other instances.

If I am not mistaken this is the 'pebble bed' reactor. Nice to see it finally make it out of testing phase.

Seems federation is broken atm.
