I prefer my own intelligence even if flawed. I think that’s the beauty of it. Nothing against AI, but i don’t like the idea of running thoughts through an AI for a post on the internet, feels weird.

Yeah it looks like i need new friends, but that gets kinda hard when you’re older

I’m using nextcloud and synology drive (both available from the internet) with SMB fall-back through wireguard in case i need access to other folders on the server.

I don’t know about the support part, i was on call with support for the first few days about basic functionality regarding the phone and the laptop and they were very polite and helpful.

Also, there’s a easily accessible user manual for every device and every function on their website, something that can’t be said for a lot of other brands.

Yeah, i get that, sorry.

I wanted to write a quick post about this but then got carried away.

I agree with the chilling, i think most people are on some death rampage to money and that makes them angry and irrational

Isn’t it a company’s whole point of existence in this economy to gain profit?

I think all major brands are going in that direction. I work in electronics repair (not consumer electronics) and it used to be “a thing” to have schematics available for a device you are repairing. Not anymore, and for a long time.

I would love to try a Pixel, unfortunately it’s not sold in my area and i wouldn’t have any support if something went bad with it. The best phone i had was a Nokia, and it was the phone with the worst hardware, but the stock Android experience was beautiful.

I would agree a few years ago. However, when everyone stops supporting their hardware after 2 years, and you see apple supporting it for 4,5,6 years, it makes you question who’s really here for wanting you to “buy new stuff”.

That article will be really helpful as it isn’t my first language so the thought/text conversion works a bit differently for me. Thank you!

Not true, sorry. Using self hosted cloud and it works perfectly.

I find the keyboard much better than gboard. I don’t use autocorrect tho.

Stock apps are one of the things that kept me. I didn’t have to search the play store for an app, it was already there. I use imap for mail, and the mail app is the best app i ever used on any mobile device. Paid apps included.

There is adblock for safari

Background sync works a lot better for me than on Android. I never have to worry about syncing photos or files, while on Android it would stop and i wouldn’t notice for weeks that my photos disn’t sync.

Apps are more expensive, but better as well. There are apps that are the same as on Android but pricier on iOS, i agree there.

I don’t use a filesystem on any computer, or should i say built-in storage. Everything is connected to my home server and that part works as intended.

For that part, the Apple website has an actual user documentation for iOS and MacOS and it’s good. Not the best, but far better than anything available for Android.

You have to actually give it a try. It isn’t like android. It requiers some adaptation. That said, i understand if someone found their OS of choice and doesn’t consider anything else, i just never was in that postition with Android.

Have you tried WiFiMan?

I would agree but then again i tried to repair some other brands hardware and it was even more difficult. At least with apple you know what to expect. Try to repair an Acer laptop in the EU, good luck with the local “official” repair guys

Whole point of the post is to get opinios from other people. There is no story, just my general observations about the software/hardware

Noted. Pushed twice on edit. Took some skill to find the return button tho.

I don’t really care what others think about companies, but when people i hang out with start judging me based on their views about some company, that gets weird

Couldn’t find it on Memmy, but Voyager has it so now i fixed it a bit.

Seems like i can’t find the eddit button anywhere
