Should also be more reliable in long run too since both are TLC

You do have a point, the SSD is known to have very slow cache that Toms and others have reported dipping the sequential to 0MB/s

One could possibly get something like TeamGroup MP44L or SN580

And then there are “disable ad-blockers” + “Ad-free subscription” sites

Clever.

At least it’s either optional or can use 3rd party app (Heroic for example)

Iirc that’s the only Android Torrent client that could bound to specific network connection (just like qBittorrent on desktop systems)

Indie games and open source projects are worth paying for imo

Direct Rendering Manager. Part of Linux kernel to communicate with GPUs.

Subscriptions, subscriptions everywhere

Not really anti-Pixel, just that pricing could be better

But I found some used ones in sale, thanks though

I used Xiaomi Mi 9T Pro/K20 Pro before, I can get used to recovery and flashing stuff

Lastly do you think 8 Pro refurbs are fine for $700? Main concern is lack of RAM from S21FE which apps closed itself very frequently as soon as I switch from one to the other

Ye T-Mobile is offering Pixel 8 Pro for free if I do 24 month installment but that isn’t worth sacrificing for

That’s why I was looking at Nothing Phone 2 which is on sale, unlocked too, for double the storage as well (I already used up 90% of my 128GB) at $550

Heard community is growing but I was uncertain

Do you think its worth waiting until Pixel “9” becomes available? I’m switching out on July since that’s when my installment is over + getting out of this hell hole S21FE

At least Magic Earth has good policy though, no?

Thanks, looks promising but unfortunately unavailable

Not really dislike, but was wondering if there were any better choices

Should I be concerned if I am not going to be installing Google Apps (or gapps) or microG?

Aw shucks, the porter moved on from Lineage to develop more on e/os

Any alternative custom ROMs that are generally considered complete Google-free other than those 2?

Thoughts on Forgejo? Heard about that one for selfhosting git
