i stacked it on top of the overheating pixel

[valid sky]

Definatly a ROM short

[subtle hawk]

yeah haha

cuz i'm tryna use newpipe to download videos right

it was like 600 gigs of it

[hexed citrus]

new phone who dis

[subtle hawk]

what does "who dis" even mean

the box looks minimalistic, nice!

[hexed citrus]

it's literally who this

but when you spell it it sounds like dis

[hexed citrus]

it's literally just the phone, SIM tool, USB cable and a pamphlet

[subtle hawk]

the internals are also minimalistic, nice!!

[hexed citrus]

miss me with this minimalistic bullshit

the charging brick should be included

[subtle hawk]

nuh uh

😭

[hexed citrus]

especially with the changes to USB PD

[subtle hawk]

fair

hasn't usb pd change been forever now

[subtle hawk]

oneplus phones still come with the charger, right? @valid sky

like their top-of-the-line fast charger

[valid sky]

Yeah, mine came with 100W Charger

[subtle hawk]

damn

yeah

how was the unboxing experience

[valid sky]

It was ok

Not as unique as my ROG Phone 3

And not so boring

[slate cape]

just asking, hows the camera on it?

honestly not too interesed in gaming, i should just get a samsung s24 when it drops

[subtle hawk]

samsun

samsung makes quite alright products

[hexed citrus]

basic af

take phone out, take charging cable and sim tool out

toss out box

[slate cape]

Their tablets are catching up with apple (finally lmao)

About time

[valid sky]

Normal Camera was good

But in SM, yuck....

It was amazing while it lasted

It died due to humidity

I live in extremely humid city

Last week's humidity

Sometimes it gets so humid to the point that it gets foggy

No wonder phones with no IP Rating dies

[hexed citrus]

do you live in dubai or smth?

[subtle hawk]

yeah, i've unboxed the pixel 7

it's depressing

[hexed citrus]

same for the fold

[subtle hawk]

it's just a cheap box holding a cheap phone (at least repairable)

[subtle hawk]

at least the device is good, right?

[hexed citrus]

I mean it's a small incremental upgrade from the fold 3 and 4

[subtle hawk]

rip

[hexed citrus]

it's better but essentially the same phone

[subtle hawk]

well isn't that every phone now haha

it's "new", but it's quite the same

is there a reason for me to use airpods instead of your classic headphones?

[hexed citrus]

[subtle hawk]

there is no reason

it's preference

i use airpods, or any wireless earbuds when i'm outside

i'd rather not wear classic headphones while walking outside

[subtle hawk]

most i data hoard is just photos and videos

[subtle hawk]

i've given up on ethernet lol

my usbc hub just doesn't like it

straight up disconnects too randomly

[subtle hawk]

yeah going 20km/h and hitting a few bumps hurts

[crystal sonnet]

those scooters do not exactly have what you may call a "suspension system"

[hexed citrus]

this is why DIY ebike is superior

since you get the best of both worlds

[crystal sonnet]

or just swap a disposable bike engine with a motor and battery

actually hold up

marine biomass fuel is sustainable

[subtle hawk]

oh yeah

quite yes

it sucks

[subtle hawk]

diy ebike?

as in

you created your own conversion kit

[hexed citrus]

ye

[subtle hawk]

damn

nice

[hexed citrus]

you get the engine and controller

[subtle hawk]

i don't plan on converting my "quite cheap" city bike

that also doesn't have suspensions

[hexed citrus]

then you can either assemble the battery yourself or buy a premade one

[subtle hawk]

ooh nice

[crystal sonnet]

If you can get your hands on the ones made by "actual motorcycle manufacturer" (around my hometown we favor something made by Viar)

should bounce a bit more

[subtle hawk]

lol

[hexed citrus]

doe the best part about DIY is that you can overspec it

so instead of say a system that can do max 20 km/h

you put smth that can do 80 km/h but cap it in software to 20

you still get to ride at 20 km/h but the instantaneous acceleration you get is much higher so you can actually go places instead of having a anemic vehicle

[subtle hawk]

basically a bad motorcycle

but super cheap (and more reliable)

cuz funny thing here in da land of de geese, anything above a 500w motor will be considered a motor vehicle

[crystal sonnet]

and any petrol engined is subject to motor v taxes 2x the price

wifi 7!?
Android 14!?
How is that innovative?

[subtle hawk]

mf thinks phones are supposed to be innovative

if they work they work

you don't have to buy it lol

[little seal]

Okay, but why would I need wifi 7 and Android 14 when wifi 6 and Android 13 have been available for a year or two?

[slate cape]

I'll probably just buy a s23 ultra tbh

Or s23+ with 512gb

[hexed citrus]

you maybe don't need them

but overall wifi 7 is a big step up from wifi 6 compared to the jump from 5 to 6

[mental coyote]

How nice of a boost are we talkin', here?

[subtle hawk]

that's what i'm saying

the thing with phones is that

you don't upgrade yearly

you upgrade every 4-5 years, which then, the specs will be quite great

3.x is all the same

if it got 3, it’s fast enough

[ashen zodiac]

tbf

The era where phones didn't use USB C, the Lightning was great.

The era where phones started using USB C, ay yo fuck off Lightning.

It's not even the fact that I've seen a few of these fucking snap inside the iPhone's lightning port

Or the fact that I have to clean out my parent's iPhone ports when they stopped charging cause it's just a big hole that gathers pocket lint and then gets squished down by the cable

It's the fact that the wire material itself is a piece of shit that frays.

So god damn easily

Damage control much?

still kind of a dick move tbf.
If anything, they should have charged that kind of money on the initial agreement for their payment.

this makes it sound like "Unity Dev Pass" than anything.

them doubling down on it is enough for companies to prep their lawsuits

because it's obv it doesn't need to be said

because the assumption here is that most ppl here aren't corporate greedlords

yeah

the garage has no signal

and i don’t like diggin into NA mobile data

rather not pay telus for mesh network tbh

current gateway works enough

plugs to fiber, creates wifi and has ethernet ports

it’s just toasty, but it gets the job done

[subtle hawk]

hey, @hexed citrus you seem to be good with networking

[hexed citrus]

perhaps

[subtle hawk]

yeah

anyways, i never knew that a single device could have multiple connections with one network

that range extender can connect twice to one wifi, that's amusing

[hexed citrus]

what ecosystem

[abstract schooner]

I like my Samsung account and don't wanna start a brand new apple account.

[hexed citrus]

well then up to you

any of the samsung tablets are more or less the same

with the same tiering as the phones, A for budget, S for top of the line

[abstract schooner]

Guess I'll consider an S series.

I was also looking at tablets recently, if you want something cheaper and more on the protuctivity side

Get tab s7

If you have money get tab 8 or 9

Greetings dwellers of the tech channel
I'm looking to change my phone which started to get slow even in azur lane
Redmi note 10 5G 64/4
What should I upgrade to?
Currently in my mind I have Poco F5 and Poco X5 pro
Tho I heard there might be some motherboard issues on F5?
Thanks in advance

I'm also open to other suggestions that might be safer

[mental coyote]

Something with at least 6/128 and a reasonably newish SoC would be my suggestion. AL ain't getting any smaller, and is 11 Gig by its lonesome.

Question is, what do you have access to, brand-wise?

[dull nexus]

Pretty much everything Samsung Motorola {another one I think would be good edge 40 cheaper too} Redmi oppo

Realme but a bit limited on that

Same for pixel

[mental coyote]

Well, if yer not planning any wacky shit (root/custom ROMs), Sammy's got a phone for damn near every price range, and longer software support than Moto. Don't know jack about Oppo/Realme, both ain't terrible common over here.

6/128 solid

8/128 better

12/256 going far

16/256 is bruh

[solar steppe]

ya I wonder that too… I think its good to credit your engines!

[vagrant holly]

I think it's because of a certain stigma Unity has among players

Since it's free and easy to pick up and has a huge library of assets available for it, Unity is often used to make shovelware or otherwise low quality/effort games

Many being simple asset dumps

So when many people see Unity they instantly grow a bit weary

Or when you say you made your game with Unity it tends to sound bad and the expectations are usually set pretty low

You could argue Unreal is easy to pickup and has plenty of glorified asset dumps labelled as games aswell, but Unreal has a history of well respected names like Unreal Tournament

Also the big rivalry between Cryengine and Unreal helped Unreal estabilish itself as a "premium" engine, Unity got no such rivalry and just stayed as the go-to engine for if you ever wanted to start learning to be a game dev for cheap, with all the consequences this entailed

serialized plastic back when?

[hexed citrus]

there's plastics that are as tough as titanium

[ashen zodiac]

Im pretty sure it's serialized

Cause attached to the glass was the wireless charger

And... flash on the camera? Something...

[hexed citrus]

it's the wireless charging flex that also houses the flash that has a serialized chip on it

which means you need to transfer those across when doing a back swap

[ashen zodiac]

Personally I find it more hilarious how there's always something new to serialize and disable.

The fact that people will say "It's to prevent from harvesting parts"

[hexed citrus]

those people are so fucking dumb

When there is literally a tool that lets you fucking copy the serial code and clone it to a new part

[hexed citrus]

not for everything but ye

[subtle hawk]

sandisk ssd doesn't like my mac

scared of losing a few hundred gb of my moms photos

it's scanning a long time

[lyric thicket]

is the ssd formatted with APFS or something like NTFS or Fat32?

[subtle hawk]

exfat

ability for her to use the disk on her x1 carbon

but apparently it seems like it doesn't like being indexed

cuz it likes unmounting itself once in a while

[lyric thicket]

and the files are being copied to the external drive?

[subtle hawk]

another one

two copies

and then copy to NAS

[lyric thicket]

from external1 to external2?

just trying to be super accurate

[subtle hawk]

external1 to external2

external2 holds a copy and puts it on NAS0

so i have 3 copies in the end

i don't trust sandisk

or WD too

[lyric thicket]

its not my top brand either lol

[subtle hawk]

i purposely avoided their microsd cards this purchase

[lyric thicket]

WD has been good to me tbh but i have seen some horror stories

[subtle hawk]

i scare of wd

512

[lyric thicket]

so have you tried moving the files to your macbook first? then move them to external2 after?

[subtle hawk]

haha nah

the macbooks doing leeching rn

so i'd rather not load even more

it's going okay for now

[lyric thicket]

okay well as long as progress is being made

i think you'll be safe in the end with multiple copies

[subtle hawk]

yeah i'll be safe

thanks

[lyric thicket]

also something to consider, 200gb of google photos is less than a dollar a month for 3 months

i think apple is pretty cheap as well

[subtle hawk]

my mom doesn't trust the cloud

[lyric thicket]

might be worth to yeet up to the cloud if you have a decent internet connection

xD

[subtle hawk]

i wish i could yeet it

but my mom likes her photos

[lyric thicket]

yeah ppl do like their photos. also i think shutterfly might be a secret OP way to store huge amounts of photos

my aunt has like 2tb uploaded there (she also spends a stupid amount of money on the site) and i dont think she pays for storage anyway

[subtle hawk]

wtf sounds OP

how do they fund that type of storage anyway 😂

[lyric thicket]

my aunt

she funds the entire site i swear my guy

she gets prints and tee shirts and mugs and all the bullshit

all of it

[lyric thicket]

the entire bullshit catalog

[subtle hawk]

then you get unlimited

[lyric thicket]

ahhh

there is it

[subtle hawk]

here's the whole thing

currently I use synology photos to handle things from my drone and phones

[subtle hawk]

your aunt must be the most festive one haha

very happy

[lyric thicket]

so lets now figure out the smallest purchase you can make on shutterfly

xD

[subtle hawk]

xd yeah

[lyric thicket]

divide by 17 months and we have our cheapest cloud storage yet

[subtle hawk]

ongg

my moms has amazon prime which also has amazon photos

but it's bezos

[lyric thicket]

hes a creep

[subtle hawk]

yeah

he likes privacy for himself

but not anyone else

thing is my mom uses london drugs photos to print her photos out

[lyric thicket]

mmm the oldschool way

so she NEEDS sd cards i bet

or at least sd cards make it easy

[subtle hawk]

i believe she uses some smartphone app

it's like

advanced stuff for me

[lyric thicket]

advanced boomer tech

[subtle hawk]

i think she uses her phones to select photos, and then they print it

it's too advanced for my zoomer mind to grasp

[lyric thicket]

its okay, i am a millenial i am here to bridge the gap

[subtle hawk]

yesssir

das good

[lyric thicket]

EVERYONE CALM DOWN I HAVE A MORTGAGE LISTEN TO ME

[subtle hawk]

😂

[lyric thicket]

hows the transfer going im invested now

[subtle hawk]

waitin

well it is quite a huge file

so i don't expect it to be fast

it's processing a long time

i'll hold back from nuking the drives until it's successfully copied over

[stone needle]

Someone save me

I have another set to do

Waiting for me

[subtle hawk]

😭

[lyric thicket]

i just replaced a set of APC 3000 batteries, i feel you brother

[stone needle]

But these like 24 battery need to be replace

And I have another brand to put in 8 battery

[lyric thicket]

its a workout for sure

[stone needle]

Ye0

At least someone pick them up for free cause they output 10-1v

When I test them all

[wispy quartz]

I have a sealed lead acid battery in my room

[stone needle]

Well

I need to get 24 now xF

well

12V 9AH 2,75 kg each
33KG
fuck me dead
no wonder it so fucking heavy

so both battery pack are 33kg each

[lyric thicket]

my last job they had 6 rack mount APC units that were stored on top of some shelving overhead, each one was around ~80 lbs / ~36kg

i thought i was going to fucking die everytime i had to get one of those down

[mental coyote]

Pixel 8 leaks

Honestly so excited for its launch, will probably upgrade to it soon

https://m.gsmarena.com/google_pixel_8_and_8_pro_product_pages_and_detailed_specs_leak-news-60068.php#image1

[subtle hawk]

looks the same

[lyric thicket]

Anyone got advice for cheap hardware to play with proxmox for a homelab?

I want to eventually set up some high availability VMs for clients but ive never had a bunch of older machines laying around lol

[gilded inlet]

How much money do you have

[lyric thicket]

Im not loaded but my new job of 3 months im actually deleteing my credit card debt like a good boi

[gilded inlet]

I was gonna suggest get a framework board and the collab case they sell

[lyric thicket]

Oh yeah thats an idea roght there

Someone else suggested zimaboards

[gilded inlet]

Zimaboards?

[lyric thicket]

https://shop.zimaboard.com/products/zimaboard-single-board-server?variant=39283928465606&gclid=CjwKCAjw69moBhBgEiwAUFCx2I9A8aFtn4FSkZbFLVAd2QnRBFDUAbZgW34F7dklZsk2wJtx6LLeFRoCyxIQAvD_BwE

Nothing crazy

Kinda like a pi type device

[gilded inlet]

I see

[lyric thicket]

Does framework have their own marketplace for the older boards or should i look around ebay?

[gilded inlet]

Framework is relatively new and they do have a shop where you can get the boards, spare parts for the laptops, and the little cards

Their boards require the usb c card for power

Modular and easy to do too

Ltt is a investor in framework

I'm planing on setting up a server array with framework boards

In a blade configuration

[lyric thicket]

Yeah ive basically only seent them on his channel but never considered there might be some already out in the wild for projects like this

[gilded inlet]

Yea

Framework has an entire forum for stuff like that

[lyric thicket]

Also i could see a 4u type case with 10 little laptop boards in it lmao

[gilded inlet]

XD

[lyric thicket]

Would be sick

[gilded inlet]

That's one idea, with 3d printed supports

[lyric thicket]

Looks like their maketplace is still only 1st party

[gilded inlet]

I know

Because their the only ones who are making laptops the user can repair

Heck you could buy the parts and assemble the laptop yourself

Also at the moment they only have 13 inch laptops but are coming out with a 16 inch laptop that has a pcie expansion slot

And they are actively asking the community for making expansion cards for the usb c slots and pcie slot

[lyric thicket]

https://frame.work/products/mainboard-11th-gen-intel-core?v=FRANFG000B

Actually not a bad deal

[gilded inlet]

Yea

[lyric thicket]

Kinda of a sick deal

[gilded inlet]

And the collab case is perfect for blade server setup

[lyric thicket]

Can you link me this?

[gilded inlet]

The case?

The case is on their shop

The cooler master main board case

[lyric thicket]

Oh i must have missed it

[gilded inlet]

But yea

The board needs the usb c expansion card for power, at least 1

[lyric thicket]

Yeee also an ethernet port for what id want to do

[gilded inlet]

Yep

I have an idea for a stand that just slots the computer in

[lyric thicket]

Looks like itd be around 550 600 for what id like to do but if they have the 1135g7 in stock thats really compelling

[hexed citrus]

ebay

there's tons of used servers on it

or compact office computers

[gilded inlet]

They have a 1TB expansion card as well as M.2 slots

[lyric thicket]

I have a ton of shitty little 256gb m.2 drives that would be prefect for boot drives

[gilded inlet]

And 32 gb ram cards I believe on the shop?

[lyric thicket]

Oh wow

[gilded inlet]

Yea

They have 16-32GB ram in both ddr4 and 5 and up to 4 Tb M.2 ssd

So plenty of storage and ram

[lyric thicket]

I have plans for a larger freenas machine anyway

[hexed citrus]

if you plan to go beyond 8 drives

get a JBOD

[lyric thicket]

That could work well with these too hrmm

[hexed citrus]

I have 2 JBODs for my main storage head unit

[lyric thicket]

I need to autopilot work for another month and have cash to spend lol

[gilded inlet]

Yes

[hexed citrus]

which allows me to further expand the storage if I ever fill up the current array

[gilded inlet]

Yea

Actually

Best cpu for mass storage servers would be the threadripper

[lyric thicket]

I think for my home humble beginnings id only need 4 drives for a simple raid 1 0

[hexed citrus]

with 4 drives I'd go with raid 5

[gilded inlet]

There's small nas servers you can buy

[hexed citrus]

the storage server is running 2 Xeon Platinums

purely because it has to compute the parity calculations for a 1 PB array

[lyric thicket]

Ive seen a ton of xeon e5 2xxx gen servers on ebay

[hexed citrus]

those are a good start

but they're OLD

[gilded inlet]

Thread rippers have gotten really cheep

[lyric thicket]

But my home is not well siuted forbthem lol

[hexed citrus]

so don't expect a lot out of them

[lyric thicket]

They are doing their best!

Lol

[hexed citrus]

I have 2 servers with those old xeons in the rack that I use for fun projects where I don't mind nuking the install

bought them ages ago, still serving their purpose

[subtle hawk]

deck

[gilded inlet]

Lucky

[hexed citrus]

enjoy

I was thinking of getting one too

[subtle hawk]

it's arch too

my favourite (soon)

they're the consoles you tinker with

not too much brute power

but great emulation

[hexed citrus]

what about modding?

[subtle hawk]

😅

you're the guy

switch is fun to play with too

I wanted I switch when I was younger

now it's a deck I go with

[gilded inlet]

Only games I'd play on switch is smash and kart

[hexed citrus]

I have a switch purely for zelda games

and fire emblem

[subtle hawk]

[gilded inlet]

Mario kart go brrr

[lyric thicket]

I blame you... im working on a NAS first i decided last night, but i think after that im going to pick up one of the 1185g7 mainboards or the 7840u if they are out by the time i have the cash...

[lyric thicket]

Anyone familiar with VM settings here?

Some help would be apreciated.

[lyric thicket]

im about to dive in myself, no help from me. but id love to hear the problems you're running into

[subtle hawk]

apparently theres this caps lock indicator

and the colour of it changes to the app colour

ngl that's pretty nice

[slate cape]

bruh 1.8k

i think ill wait longer for sales and shit at this point lmfao

[lyric thicket]

black friday around the corner

bet they 'find a way' to make the deal at 1k even

[final estuary]

Anyone got an idea why i cant download bluestacks on a macbook air 2022

[lyric thicket]

is that an M1 or intel based mac?

I would check and see if they have a universal binary for mac or if they have a download for either type

[final estuary]

its a m2 and its somehow not working

i deactivated the security settings and stuff but still its not working

[lyric thicket]

oh geeze we are on m2 already

[final estuary]

thats the problem

[lyric thicket]

https://isapplesiliconready.com/en/app/BlueStacks

this is from 2021

[final estuary]

currently working on it -.-

[lyric thicket]

https://www.reddit.com/r/BlueStacks/comments/vf1r19/apple_m2_silicon_is_here_and_bluestacks_have_not/

this is from 2022 and has a mod from bluestacks posting that it

[final estuary]

ill just go cry or smthng its fine

thanks for helping xd

[subtle hawk]

anything past 2020 is apple silicon

using m2 pro here

i’m trying to get deep rock galactic to run on this thing

🗣️the steam deck may be fun, but i’m ruining the experience of others because i’m just not good enough on controller

10c (6p4e) and 16c gpu

around 6-7 tflops FP32 on the m2 pro gpu

[lyric thicket]

yeah i was just looking into the M2 chip, seems like a beastly little thing

i was working in a school system doing IT when the M1s started coming out and having to manage apps for intel vs M1 was paintful

i'm trying to remember we used something to run intel based binaries on M1 chips but it like doubled the resources it took

Rosetta 2!

worked pretty slick

[subtle hawk]

ehh

rosetta 2 is just a translation layer

running intel apps on them shouldn’t tank anything

well 8gb of unified ram is shared between gpu and cpu

could probably be why your instance is using double resources

gaming on mac most the time uses Crossover w GPTK

Crossover uses Rosetta 2 so it’s able to run x86-64 code (which windows games run on)

[lyric thicket]

I wasn't a huge mac guy (still am not) but I just remember stupid shit like Zoom took forever to come out with a universal binary and ran like dog on the M1s for a long time

things might be better now tho

[subtle hawk]

yep

it is

zoom uses practically nothing

my favourite app isn’t on universal yet

Ripcord my beloved

[subtle hawk]

Time for me to rethink my choices...

STILL, I would ban the fruit brand phone... from the choice, so no, don't come to me and suggest a Fruit Brand Phone that is Overpriced, Overrated, and Overhyped

I do wonder, if I got myself 400~1000 US$, which Phone worth my budget the most...

Most likely still RoG 7 because of the "Outdated" design of no "Notch" or "Punch hole"

[subtle hawk]

lmfao wtf

[subtle hawk]

are you delusional

no one’s talking to you

get a oneplus or a used pixel

don’t go for “rog” quality

shit sucks

[hexed citrus]

translation layers do actually in fact come with a performance penalty

sometimes a hefty one

[subtle hawk]

yeah

realtime translation does take some knock

i believe it does take 10-20%

not too significant in rosetta2’a case

[hexed citrus]

sometimes even more if it uses more underground instructions

[subtle hawk]

😔yeah

[hexed citrus]

20% is very significant

[subtle hawk]

it is?

let me check

[hexed citrus]

that's 1/5th

[subtle hawk]

yeah it’s around 20-30% dropoff i think

https://www.anandtech.com/show/16252/mac-mini-apple-m1-tested/6

only skimmed it sadly

[subtle hawk]

for translation it’s pretty good

well obviously native apps would be a lot lot better

[hexed citrus]

it's decent but not great

ARM to x86 translation is around the same

or RISC to ARM

[subtle hawk]

it is arm to x86

RISC to ARM to x86?

[hexed citrus]

in rosetta's case is the opposite

x86 instructions to ARM

[subtle hawk]

ooooh

wait i see what that means now

yeah x86 to arm

don’t the M series have some part of the SOC for x86 code

or something

[hexed citrus]

nah

[lyric thicket]

99% of the use cases we needed rosetta 2 for were generally light enough to not matter

we had rosetta 2 pushed via MDM to hit with our pre-stage enrollment

so get new Macbooks from our rep on our token... turn the thing on... before you even finish setup its got all the good shit like rosetta 2 and chrome and adobe CC and removed garbage like safari...

we used Jamf Pro for our mdm and the ONLY complaint i have about it is we could not build a printer driver with the settings we needed. it would push the driver with bone stock settings always. which means we never had a truly hands free deployment for the damn things

it was so close tho

so close

[subtle hawk]

damn

[subtle hawk]

oooo

[subtle hawk]

safari bad?

i like safari lol

[lyric thicket]

Personal preference.

Also we were a google workspaces org. We had a lot more control over chrome

[subtle hawk]

Bruh, I was talking to you guys

but ok

[subtle hawk]

What the... Where's the RAM + Storage + Procie?

is 8gb

16 in higher

that’s typical for smartphones

i think

Hmmm... Okay... I almost think of having that rather than RoG but...

That Punch hole...

pixels are okay

pixel 7 was improved over pixel 6

[wispy quartz]

I have a pixel

[subtle hawk]

pixel 8 should be better than 7

[subtle hawk]

me too

[mental coyote]

6pro

8 series is looking like reasonable temptation, tbh.

I'd probaly go straight 8. Only thing I'm really taking advatage of atm is the 256 GB storage.

[slate cape]

Was thinking of getting pixel 8 Pro with 512gb since I'm planning to use it for at least 4 years

It's currently 1.8k for my currency which is way too expensive, I'll wait for blackfriday first

[subtle hawk]

For me, I dunno which to buy on next year... I just hope there are some newer phones that is not ROG 7 that chose to retain the bezel design and not notch/punch hole

and for me, camera qualities don't matter, I ain't a Insta/TikTok user, I care more for the Procie/GPU/RAM/ROM, I can live with lower quality camera, I don't need good looking selfies, just enough for documentaries that is for documents(professional stuff)

If I were Given an Iphone, I will change it to android phone of same value

[hexed citrus]

just deal with it

the notch/punch hole ain't going away

and if u need it for documents get a tablet

specs nowadays don't do much especially at the higher end as they're marginal upgrades through the generations

foldables are also an option but only for power users and productivity freaks

[wispy quartz]

Got 7 pro

Had a regular 7 but it got fucking destroyed

[slate cape]

1850

Man

[subtle hawk]

I was meant as camera for documentation in events once I had a job or something but ok

[subtle hawk]

Ouch

[slate cape]

If it manages to drop to 1.4k by blackfriday

I'll definitely buy it

Or else I'll just a s23 u

[subtle hawk]

TBH/TBF, I have two question:

Assuming the word of "No Fruit Brand Phone" is dismissed...

Will you recommend me that fruit brand phone or still go for Google Pixel?

And why US made Phones generally viewed better here than Chinese ones?

they're the same

[subtle hawk]

iPhone

documentation

well you could do the Samsung fold V

it's a good device too

Hmmm... okay... but samsung fold might a tad bit out of budget but will try if have the money

[subtle hawk]

but this is more important tho

I see

Google pixel over iPhone

for your case

u seem to not like apple

you won't like them more once you start using iOS

Hmmm... oh okay.... but for general case why people put iOS Phones in upper tier then it is Google Pixel/OnePlus/Samsung, then the chinese phones below?

this intrigues me the most

iPhones just work

they will record, take photo, and do everything easily

advertising too

android isn't that enticing when people are in the Apple ecosystem

chinese phones = chinese tracking

they all think that

most I would rate it by software support and a little bit of popularity

[subtle hawk]

hmmmm... Are Chinese phones, and specifically ROG bad in this area?

in the software support one?

ROG yes

Oneplus is inconsistent but still supplies

Huawei does a fucky job but is ok

but honestly chinese brands are fine

but I don't like ROG for the shitty build design and quality

Shitty build design and quality? hmm... can you tell me more?

idk

too gaming for a workplace

and bends easily

well idk

I throw my phone's like frisbees

my iPhone isn't dead yet

Holy... ok then

well

yeah

ROG phones aren't bend proof

and their software isnt refined as Google pixels os

okay...

[hexed citrus]

better cameras and a much simpler interface together with a robust integration with the rest of the ecosystem is why iphones usually are high

[hexed citrus]

ROG phones are literally a gimmick, they're not that more powerful than most flagships while costing just as much for the brand and gamer tax

[gilded inlet]

cough 1 TB of storage

[hexed citrus]

mine also has 1TB of storage, so?

[mental coyote]

I'd ask how many of us in here would even use a TB.

[hexed citrus]

exactly

[subtle hawk]

Ouch....

seems 1 TB is too far fetched, fine 512 GB plz

[subtle hawk]

Explains

[subtle hawk]

Brand and Gamer Tax

Same as Apple with their Iphone Brand but cut the Gamer Tax out and have better camera(which IDC about that) then for me but ok...

Thanks for the info, gotta seriously note this

(Yeah better run into samsung... Fairer price)

[mental coyote]

At this rate, I'm thinkin' I'll save a bit longer and see how Black Friday/Cyber Monday pans out.

I could try shit via trades now, but I'd be outta spare phones in case something were to go wrong.

[subtle hawk]

yeah wait till discounts

[subtle hawk]

I dunno if wkwkland have tech stuff discount in their yearly events so... I will wait for the item's depreciation

[subtle hawk]

solid

But... Red Magic 8s?

Is it good?

[hexed citrus]

dunno

never head of it

[lyric thicket]

idk about yall but i barely need 64gb on my phone, if i uninstalled games id be okay. I have my photos stream to google photos then delete originals from my phone automatically

[hexed citrus]

I don't even have games on my phone

[lyric thicket]

verizon logs all my texts for me

[hexed citrus]

besides AL AK and BA

[hexed citrus]

I was just given this 1TB model as replacement for my old fold

but generally I only use 100 GB at most

[subtle hawk]

Few ways to safe your storage, while keep games:

1. Put important photos and videos on a Cloud stuff, delete them permanently in your device ASAP
2. Uninstall unimportant apps
3. Delete all SMS/MMS(Maybe WA/FB Message as well)
4. Clean your phone(use Device's own cleaner, DO NOT DOWNLOAD 3RD PARTY CLEANER)
5. Check your recycle bin of phone(if there is any), clean them

Instant: Factory Reset

[lyric thicket]

yeah man I have the S22 Ultra 5G with 256GB internal storage. I don't use it at all. I have unlimited data so literally as soon as I snap a photo it's syncing to the cloud.

[subtle hawk]

red magic is good

i like that more than asus

idk why

[gloomy tinsel]

because asus phone more likely to be dead after a few months

rog 2 rog 3 rog 5 experience

[subtle hawk]

yeah

that thing

asus phones have no lifespan

hope the rog ally does

[mental dagger]

Better than the system hogging all of my space.

I'm still gonna install linux

[subtle hawk]

used to do that

it’s not bad

[little seal]

Chrome OS is a Linux Distro made by Google, so it shouldn't have any problems running a different Linux Distro

[subtle hawk]

yeah

read on some website that it voids warranty
