¯_(ツ)_/¯

[bronze reef]

there are geneuinly like 50 apps

which i don't need

[civic dock]

No that one’s nice, its the apple’s notepad

[bronze reef]

but can't delete

[bronze reef]

hmm

font notebook

for some reason

script editor

[civic dock]

If u open text edit, go into settings and put the default opening to “plain text”

[bronze reef]

stickies

[bronze reef]

k

[civic dock]

That one’s also nice

Like a paper reminder that sticks on your desktop, to remind u what u have to do

[bronze reef]

hmm

[civic dock]

I used it to mark tests

And homework

[bronze reef]

there is an app called finder

i can't close/quit it

[civic dock]

That’s file explorer

It’s always open

[bronze reef]

is it possible to do so?

[bronze reef]

ouch

[civic dock]

No

[civic dock]

Relax it won’t do anything

In windows it’s always open too

Explorer.exe

[bronze reef]

hmm

[civic dock]

It just appears closed

Your desktop icons is Finder

[bronze reef]

one more thing

Any app i close/last used comes to dock

is it possible to stop it?

just keep the pinned ones there

not all

Found the setting

[civic dock]

Pressing X closes it but it keeps it “a little open”

[bronze reef]

"show suggested and recent apps in dock"

[civic dock]

Completely closing apps is Command Q

[bronze reef]

for finder?

[civic dock]

Or right click on said app and pressing QUIT

[bronze reef]

alt+f4 for mac

i see

[bronze reef]

i did see quit

[civic dock]

Any other app instead of Finder

[bronze reef]

the red button doesn't close apps

quit closes them

[civic dock]

It « kinda » does but leaves them in cache (last closed app)

And RAM

RAM on macOS shouldn’t be a problem

[bronze reef]

24gb ram

on mac

512 gb storage

[civic dock]

In my expierence 8 Gb in widows is equivalent to 6-7 on macOS

[civic dock]

Oh wow

[bronze reef]

i guess i am good then

[civic dock]

Ohhhh u have the M series

[bronze reef]

m4 pro

[civic dock]

That thing is faster than most desktops

That thing is faster than 90% of desktops

[bronze reef]

hmm

[civic dock]

In CPU

[bronze reef]

is it worth the price?

it was like twice the price of this pc(windows)

[civic dock]

if u paid refurbished, yes, if u paid apple directly, idk

What did ur parents say 😭

[bronze reef]

i didn't buy from apple store

i bought it from a showroom

which had them

[civic dock]

Oh

If it was cheaper than apple’s price, then yes

[bronze reef]

They say that if it helps you more than this pc, it is good then
but you do have to make the value out of it then

[bronze reef]

it was cheaper

[civic dock]

Exactly

Mine was 2100 CAD

[bronze reef]

like 10% cheaper from website price

hmm

[civic dock]

Im definitely still keeping it till it breaks

8 yrs old and still running

[bronze reef]

3,190.40 for actual price

[civic dock]

Oh

💀

[bronze reef]

2,871.36 costed from showroom

[civic dock]

10 yrs minimum you’re keeping it

[bronze reef]

use it till it dies 🗣️

[civic dock]

🗣️

[bronze reef]

i bought a 2 year extended warranty over the free 1 year for the money it saved

cuz every part costs so damn much that buying warranty is worth

[civic dock]

Amd and Intel just caught up to m2 almost m3 so ur good for like 2-3 years before windows laptops reach that performance

So in 2 yrs it’ll still feel bleeding edge of new

[bronze reef]

i aint targetting what will be latest till the coming years, just wanted something which can work without a problem for long

[civic dock]

👍

[bronze reef]

nice

[civic dock]

Tbh for u even a 2020 m1 would’ve been a game changer

Everything just opens instantly

I have a friend with an M Mac

[bronze reef]

hmm

What would you say for the price

[bronze reef]

this much good/fine?

or did i overspend 💀

[civic dock]

Better than apple’s

[civic dock]

I’d say a little

But its gonna last a looong time

[bronze reef]

apple's?

[bronze reef]

that what i like/wanted to hear

[civic dock]

The official price

[bronze reef]

yep

[civic dock]

Alu will open instantly

[bronze reef]

it did
i am getting consistant 60 fps there
i am so not used to them that i can't play there

[civic dock]

Since devs optimized the hell out of macOS version but forgot windows

[civic dock]

😭😭

[bronze reef]

i am so used to around 30 fps on this pc lol

with freezes/lags

[bronze reef]

hmm

[civic dock]

Also I can play almost medium settings on my Mac

But for like 5 mins

[bronze reef]

it opened with high settings on default, but still kept the lowest in all settings

because no need to pressurise the pc

to keep its life long

[bronze reef]

Used to it+lives longer

What does option key do?

[civic dock]

Perfect

[civic dock]

Alt

Shift + option + volume buttons to fine tune the volume

[bronze reef]

oh right

i forgor

[civic dock]

Fn + F to toggle full screen/windowed (for Alu at least)

[civic dock]

👽

[bronze reef]

That will help a lot

ty

[civic dock]

👍

[bronze reef]

Just pressing fn opens emoji tab lol

[civic dock]

Ohh

Didn’t know that

Good to know!

[bronze reef]

[civic dock]

Will be useful

[bronze reef]

lol

the keyboard is quite smaller than that in windows

the arrow keys are so small that i can press like all left, down, right with a single tap(metaphorically)

[civic dock]

I got used to the light gentle press of apple keyboards

Playing alu with that keyboard is nice

[bronze reef]

Oh right

you reminded me something

[civic dock]

At least that’s my preference

Yes u can connect Bluetooth controllers

[bronze reef]

Does this keyboard have the ability to understand the power of pressing of keys?

[civic dock]

😭

[bronze reef]

like i pressed them like i usually do(a lil hard) and the car went left so fast

[civic dock]

The trackpad does

[bronze reef]

i had to press it gently

to get the result i get on windows for pressing keys normally

[civic dock]

Yes with windows keys u have to rage

[bronze reef]

Like it measures how much i press keys and works accordingly

[civic dock]

I play on my Mac and sometimes on my bro’s windows

[civic dock]

That’s new…

Hm

[bronze reef]

i did notice that

[civic dock]

High settings? Does the Mac heat up quickly?

[bronze reef]

i didn't even try the high settings

[civic dock]

In 10 seconds of medium settings my Mac’s fans are max

[bronze reef]

opened the game, logined, put settings to lowest like this pc
restarted the game and played

[civic dock]

Game looks good either way

[bronze reef]

true

i didn't try high settings

[civic dock]

On lowest settings it keeps my Mac cool

[bronze reef]

i will try once, but just as an experiment

[civic dock]

👍

[bronze reef]

cuz my eyes used to the low settings now lol

[civic dock]

Loll

[raven bear]

What the cap, did ur pc problem solve

[bronze reef]

which one?

[civic dock]

It kinda did but bro had bigger plans as well 😭

[raven bear]

Ur severe lag

[bronze reef]

the lags?

[bronze reef]

oh that

that i couldn't login?

[raven bear]

Like playing on high settings!?

[bronze reef]

no

[civic dock]

Bro bought a new Mac 💀

[bronze reef]

Buying a new pc where i can play alu aswell in

I am playing on lowest settings in this pc aswell even though default settings are high

so that i don't fry the pc

and get stable fps

[raven bear]

Whale

[civic dock]

😭

[raven bear]

Which Mac

[bronze reef]

I had been planning for months

m4 pro

[raven bear]

Ah, multitasker

It should run well

[bronze reef]

my 1st mac

don't understand a single thing

never used ios

[raven bear]

Which SoC is there

[bronze reef]

no iphone, no tab

no macbook

[bronze reef]

what is soc

[civic dock]

M4 pro…

[bronze reef]

[civic dock]

It’s a MacBook Pro

[raven bear]

I don't have either, my cousins do, so I've tried there, so different and lacky UI

[civic dock]

It kills like 90% of desktops

[bronze reef]

the pro max was like double the price of this macbook pro

and i was like hell nah

[civic dock]

😭

[bronze reef]

i aint buying ts

[raven bear]

Oh mb thought M4 pro is model

The names are like that

Eh

[civic dock]

strange

[bronze reef]

it is the chip name iirc

[raven bear]

Yea it is

I forgot

[bronze reef]

no worries

[civic dock]

What chip do u have in your pc?

[raven bear]

Even M2 is quite strong

[raven bear]

No mac🥀

i5 11Gen H series

[civic dock]

Indeed, and it came like in 2022

[bronze reef]

My pc(windows) is made of plastic while this is metal composite

Does its body get hot in summers at it should conduct heat?

[raven bear]

My laptop is like 2.5 kgs

Heavy duty

[civic dock]

Now go compare that to m4 pro on cpu-monkey.com

[raven bear]

Eh M4 pro takes the cup ig

It's a much more advanced and latest

Cpu

[civic dock]

I have a dual core 6th gen i5

[bronze reef]

there are two

[raven bear]

s....six gen

Threads

[civic dock]

Oh yeah, which one do you have

[raven bear]

Below is the better one

[bronze reef]

how do i know

[raven bear]

Try checking pc specs from settings

[bronze reef]

cuz i don't

[civic dock]

I think its on the apple logo at the top left, then click on “about Mac”

[raven bear]

Oh right, it isn't windows

And I was about to say click start

But it should bw there in settings

System

[bronze reef]

there is no thing such at cpu or gpu written there

[raven bear]

Pc specs

Option

It shows all cpu/gpu model along with software installed

[bronze reef]

all i know that it is the 14 inch screen macbook pro

there was a bigger one which came built in frmo apple on demand but costed more

[raven bear]

Or just search the model on shopping site

And see specs

[bronze reef]

i bought from a showroom irl

[raven bear]

Below

[bronze reef]

i guess gotta check the box

[raven bear]

Ah it's available on online shopping sites too

Should show

Not like exclusive to offline

Store

[bronze reef]

oh wait

there it is

on the laptop's box

12c 16g

if that is what we are tryna find

[civic dock]

Yes it is

[bronze reef]

what does it mean?

[civic dock]

Fr?? I thought it did show…

[civic dock]

12 CPU cores, 16 GPU cores

[bronze reef]

and what does that mean

[raven bear]

Yea

[raven bear]

Just know it is a good sign

[bronze reef]

hmm

[raven bear]

You can do multitasking more smoothly

[bronze reef]

i am still open to ferrari's techinical answer

which he was typing rn

[raven bear]

And tasks which uses more multiple programs or paths to process

[bronze reef]

:trolley:

[raven bear]

Are easier

[bronze reef]

aah isee

[civic dock]

• Shift command 3 to screenshot entire screen instantly
• Shift cmd 4, 5 or 6 for other screenshot options which I forgot at the moment

[raven bear]

Isn't there a print screen for screenshot

Idk lol

About mac

[bronze reef]

hmm

[civic dock]

Let’s say I run a chess AI to analyze a chess match. It will use 1 CPU core, a “brain”. I can run 2 engines at their full speed (APPROXIMATELY, irl it ain’t exactly like that) (dual core), your 1135g7’s 4 cores has “4 brains”, now your Mac has 12

[civic dock]

Yes it is and it blows Windows’s out of the water

Also screen recording is much more efficient on macOS

[bronze reef]

older vs newer

[civic dock]

At least I can screen record with less performance loss on macOS than windows

I have both in a dual boot setup

[bronze reef]

The chip thing is less on mac?

[raven bear]

The clocking is a bit lesser, I see

[bronze reef]

idk what lower chip total does

but it is less

[raven bear]

Core wise

[civic dock]

I prefer Windows’s game selection

[civic dock]

Lower chip total…?

[bronze reef]

4*2.4=9.6

12*0.7=8.4

[civic dock]

Geekbench and Cinebench are good benchmarks

Which are a little lower on the webpage

[raven bear]

Though it is very optimised

[bronze reef]

hmm

[raven bear]

Comparatively

Which adds to value

[bronze reef]

what about this?

[raven bear]

Dunno much if Macs overheat

But get a cooling pad

Preferable

[civic dock]

Just like windows laptops, it’ll get warm but not burn your pants

[bronze reef]

Hmm

[civic dock]

I do not understand these metrics 😭

[bronze reef]

i don't either

i just did the total math

idk what they mean

[raven bear]

Oh also can u use afterburner or riva on Mac?

No ig

[bronze reef]

what is it

[raven bear]

That'd help monitor it

[bronze reef]

i didn't mean about heating due to apps

[raven bear]

The gpu cpu temp and fps thingy on top

[bronze reef]

i mean general het conducting due to temp outside

metal body

[raven bear]

% power and watt usage

[bronze reef]

so should get hotter????

[raven bear]

It is conducting so the bottom part will be more heated

Get a cooling pad, good option

[bronze reef]

hmm

[civic dock]

Mac has a built in command line tool for that

[bronze reef]

i don't keep it on my lap anyways

[civic dock]

Powermetrics

[bronze reef]

i use it over a table

[raven bear]

Oo nice

[raven bear]

Keep it elevated for air intake

[civic dock]

Everything but FPS

[raven bear]

I mean away from wall

[civic dock]

👍

[raven bear]

Open space

[civic dock]

FPS has to be game built in

[bronze reef]

k

[bronze reef]

is there a way to see that?

i could see fps on windows with gamebar

[civic dock]

On ALU nope, but even on windows idk how

[raven bear]

Ah, so much captivity in MacOS, feels a bit clumsy to me

[civic dock]

Lol

[raven bear]

Game bar is outdated trash

Use MSi afterburner

[civic dock]

Wait till u discover that most Linux commands work on macOS

[raven bear]

Combined with rivatuner to cap fps

For smoother fps

[civic dock]

Alu has a built in FPS cap 😭

[bronze reef]

i just want my pc to not freeze

i don't need 200 fps or smth

[civic dock]

60 fps is gonna be fine lol

For ALU, in my experience

[bronze reef]

my mac gives 60 fps without sweat, but i am so used to 30 that i can't play on it lol

[civic dock]

Also the response time i much lower in that Mac than your windows

[raven bear]

Ye 120 cap, 120+ and unlimited doesn't work

[civic dock]

Ah

[bronze reef]

one last thing i want to ask

on opening safari

which seems to be the mac's browser

i see big logos for favourite sites

[raven bear]

U played 30fps all along?

[bronze reef]

is there a way to remove them?

[bronze reef]

yes sir+big aah freezes

[raven bear]

60 or 120 would definitely boost ur gameplay or whatever experience

[civic dock]

Right click, press remove

[raven bear]

It's more satisfying

iOS has extremely good consistency on 60fps

[civic dock]

My dual core runs 60 stable

[bronze reef]

i can blame my skill issues on the pc's framerate then

while using 30

[raven bear]

Even though screen is capped on 60Hz

[bronze reef]

with 60 i can't

trolley

[raven bear]

Not anymore

60 is enough

[bronze reef]

nooooooo

[civic dock]

Hahahaha

[bronze reef]

that is why i don't want it

[raven bear]

120 is just better exp while there's a lil advantage if you're darkhyper

[bronze reef]

i need to have something to justify my skill issue

rather than get the blame on myself

[bronze reef]

not working

[raven bear]

Just act like newbie driver who plays at 60/120 ig saying I'm new

I use the same excuse

[bronze reef]

hmm

[raven bear]

He's alien tho

[bronze reef]

but you guys know that i aint new

[raven bear]

Not only us but....

[civic dock]

What!! It works for me

[raven bear]

y'know

Everyone knows

[bronze reef]

Throwing directly into bin works smh

[bronze reef]

welp

[raven bear]

But not everyone knows me

[civic dock]

Oh right on trackpad, u have to go in system preferences -> trackpad and enable right click

[raven bear]

Very few ppl know

[civic dock]

Hahahahaah

[raven bear]

OG style actually

[bronze reef]

i am one of them

Is there a way to have bookmarks?

of websites

[civic dock]

Yes

[bronze reef]

like on windows

[bronze reef]

is that different from the favourites thing i removed?

[civic dock]

There’s a button I think

[bronze reef]

being?

[civic dock]

U can customize the bar … by pressing another button

I don’t have my Mac rn which is why my messages might be empty 😭

[bronze reef]

rip

no worries

lmk when you get to know that

one last question, fr this time

Does this keyboard's background white light stays on forever?

Like my window's pc had a key to turn it off/on

[civic dock]

In system preferences u can change that. Idk if the newer Mac models have it but there used to be a button on the function key rows

(I have the function keys)

Oh u can put more stuff in control center

Ohhh next to the date in the top right corner there’s the IOS style control center

Might be there

[bronze reef]

hmm'

Found it

big thanks to you bro

you are a lifesaver these days

The game looks sooo good than on window's

not because of high settings

the screen itself is very nice

[civic dock]

No problem

[bronze reef]

How do you take screen shots here

you told the key commands for full screen ss

is there a way to have those crop like screen shots like we get on windows using lightshot?

[civic dock]

Shift command 4 I think

Or 5

One of them is cropped screenshot

The other is it opens the app then u can choose

Also don’t forget to change the location where your screenshots get saved so that u remember

[bronze reef]

It works pog

Both are for screenshots

with 4, you can predefine the area you want

you can in 5 aswell

but they are a bit different, hard to tell how

[civic dock]

I think 5 is the window selected then?

Or 5 is the rectangular select, 4 is the mouse select

Is it that built in android game ?

[craggy edge]

||Something that Android 14 would never come up with||

[craggy edge]

Yeah

Most of the Android users call it: Android Easter Egg 🥚

[desert condor]

I am still playing with android 13 clock

[desert condor]

Hmm ,||IK||

[craggy edge]

Mmh, good
Which Android device you use?

[desert condor]

Samsung galaxy S20 FE

[craggy edge]

Nice

[desert condor]

It's good tho , still working fine since 2020

Doesn't lag at all

[craggy edge]

It seems like the S series are good
The older versions, I mean

[desert condor]

New ones are good too, I mean till 23 Series ,idk the lastest series

Still they are offering 7 hrs of android updates now

[craggy edge]

Let me tell it out for ya about the latest series: S24 & S25

S24 in 2024
S25 in 2025

[desert condor]

Yea

[craggy edge]

From S21 series till now, they don't have SD card slots

Same with A36 & A56 about the SD card slots

[desert condor]

They introduced E-sim in FE series from S23 FE , they added flat anti- reflection display in 24 ultra , got rid of sharp corners from 25 ultra , added QI 2 wireless charging from 25 series

[vague spire]

[desert condor]

In the 1930s, a Russian scientist named Sergei Brukhonenko did a shocking experiment where he tried to bring a dog's severed head back to life. He used a machine called the autojektor, which pumped blood and oxygen into the head. Amazingly, the dog's head showed signs of life-it blinked, reacted to touch, and even licked its nose. The experiment...

The fact this semi worked is crazy

The context is supposly a dpg was decapitated and was quickly hooked on a artificial blood pump The dog was alive for few minutes and finally died

When a alive being is decapitated they are alive for good 5 sec

Ig within that 5 sec they were able to hook it up on a artificial heart

🗞️ NEWS: Ferrari hit with BOP changes for Brazil 🇧🇷⚖️

The Ferrari 499P has been hit with a three-part change to its Balance of Performance measurements ahead of the WEC 6H São Paulo.

The all-conquering LMH will run as the heaviest in the field, with the least power and lowest available energy per stint.

⏭️ Swipe for full BOP table ⏭️

🔗 Want an in-depth look at what these numbers ACTUALLY mean? Head to onlyendurance.com for a full breakdown 🤓

Ferrari now runs the same weight as the Toyota GR010, which won in Brazil on the series’ return last year. Both cars carry 1060kg, but the Italian marque have 5kW (6hp) less power around the Interlagos circuit.

The move looks to reduce the gap between the 499P and the rest of the field, after winning the opening four rounds of the season and only missing out on pole position at Le Mans.

Elsewhere, Alpine and BMW also take weight hits, gaining 8kg and 9kg…

@dull widget anything new? did you talk to other mods?

[dull widget]

They won't be unbanned

As stated the last time we spoke about this

[tranquil shard]

what?
do you think that the guy will make that kind of joke after learning the hard way?
anyway i don't know if this is an official answer or not, but i think it's worth giving bro an appeal form

a proper one*

[dull widget]

There won't be any appeals or unbans and that's an official answer.

[tranquil shard]

yeah well, they will be really sad

whatever

"just expect an earthquake"
don't, he/she is just another player

@dull widget can i do some actions like customer care ticket on behalf of him/her?
dude can't stop begging
probably expect another friend to come in, but anyway
yes or no? i'll take them

i'll take the yes and I'll take the no

[wanton island]

Can anyone tell me where I can find the codes when they come out, I play on IOS

[dull widget]

They can contact Customer Care fine

You don't need this server to do that

[tranquil shard]

#🆔・tickets-customer-care kind of thing

[tranquil shard]

"half a month passed and they didn't answer me" he/she says

[dull widget]

Contact CC again

[tranquil shard]

i'm not the banned person

[dull widget]

I mean tell them to contact Customer Care again

@raw sleet lego

[raw sleet]

lego

okay so, the tool is quite simply called "universal android debloater"

requires you to connect your phone to the pc

lets you disable ANY app package on your phone without root

and the program usually has descriptions for what something does and if its safe/recommended to remove

safe to say its really damn useful if you cant afford to unlock a phone

[frank oriole]

isnt it debug bridge?

[raw sleet]

yes its done through adb

[frank oriole]

so it doesnt remove apps

it just hides/disable

whatever

[raw sleet]

like i said, it disables them

[frank oriole]

ahh sorry

didnt see then

but can we remove?

[raw sleet]

still technically the same as remove though

[frank oriole]

ok but you said any app package

[raw sleet]

nah just disable, removing system apps from the system folder requires root

[frank oriole]

how about not user-accessible

system components

[raw sleet]

yes that

[frank oriole]

that i would like to change

[raw sleet]

you can disable it with the tool

[frank oriole]

kk

ok basically instead of waiting to unlock my xiaomi i should go for uad too

tool

[raw sleet]

the default page is "recommended" where it should be safe to remove every bloatware it lists ion the debloater

[frank oriole]

yes

[raw sleet]

either of the two

id say its best you get it unlocked and flash a new rom onto it

stock roms are garbage

and ive realized that even with my sony xperia 5v

roughly 2 weeks ago after over a year of maining it, i finally bit the bullet and switched from a stock rooted install to lineageos

[frank oriole]

thats what i was thinking of

[raw sleet]

initially i was stuck with stock since nobody made custom roms for it yet

stock rooted was pretty okay, since sony's android is mostly pixel-based

but it was fairly buggy

[frank oriole]

you sound really enthusiastic about this

nice

[raw sleet]

overall experience was like a low 6/10

didnt like how glitchy everything felt, had multiple boot partition bricks cause of magisk v28, never lost data luckily

[frank oriole]

btw stock roms arent garbage, or its atleast a highly subjective term, especially in 2025..

they improved significatnyly

significantly

[raw sleet]

yeah but the one my sony had

i was actually shocked how crap it was

[frank oriole]

oh ye

[raw sleet]

even though i had NO bloatware

dude

when i switched to lineageos 22.2

after just 1 day of use

[frank oriole]

so u found better ram management ?

[raw sleet]

camera wasnt sluggish, all of my mods worked properly, screen didnt flashbang me on the aod

[frank oriole]

nicee

you know what

[raw sleet]

and yes, the memory management was abysmal on stock

i couldnt run more than 1 app at a time

TWO if i was lucky

[frank oriole]

lineageos might have a better optimization code to speak with the kernel

[raw sleet]

and i had 8gigs of ram

lineage? 5 apps WITHOUT ISSUE

AND i have 12gb of swap too

[frank oriole]

and also i would double check that this is not placebo effect

you know..

[raw sleet]

lineage also boots faster and offers the bare minimum of

reversed layout 3 button navigation

it baffles me how it gets neglected on aosp roms

[raw sleet]

it really is no placebo

my general experience went up to 8/10

so far the only bugs ive noticed are that my screen sometimes fails to turn on, which is easily fixed by blindly changing the brightness

[frank oriole]

2 against 5

wow

[raw sleet]

and that games lag for like the first day when i have show touches enabled

though i think the encore tweaks module fixes those

[frank oriole]

ok what can you recommend me to do now

start with uad just to find middle ground

or commit myself to custom roms?

[raw sleet]

sadly i REALLY have 0 experience with anything other than google, nothing and sony

you genuinely should go for a custom rom

[frank oriole]

i see

[raw sleet]

before the xperia 5v i used a google pixel 3

ran resurrection remix on it

i miss that custom rom, actual customization peak

sadly it died as android 12 released

i hate material you

it killed SO many modding projects

not to mention play integrity

[frank oriole]

ok xiaomi bootloader

lets go

[coral crater]

I had a wave of depression after that 1st set

[raw sleet]

thats another thing, do NOT switch to a custom rom if you rely on banking apps and contactless payments

you do NOT want to bash your head trying to fight google and their stupid integrity

[frank oriole]

well you said you have no experience with anything rather google, sony but you shared some decent knowledge

i will do your suggestion now

[raw sleet]

yes cause i went for phones that have easy to unlock bootloaders

google and nothing are only like 3 adb commands

[frank oriole]

u have no information regard xiaomi?

[raw sleet]

sony is the same except you need an unlock code

[frank oriole]

hope i wont break anything lol

[raw sleet]

no ive never owned one

the xiaomi modding community is massive as far as i know

do research before you start tinkering

[frank oriole]

i can use community ye

massive community

of course

[raw sleet]

anyways homescreen

modding so awesome!!

[frank oriole]

wow

[frank oriole]

holy cow

[raw sleet]

iconify is a really cool customization project

combined with colorblendr which lets you override the monet engine

[frank oriole]

how much experience you have in nodding

modding*

you look really experienced

[raw sleet]

nearly a decade

[frank oriole]

**** me

[raw sleet]

my experience really is just flashing roms

it started with rooting back in like 2015

[frank oriole]

a decade? you do this for living?

[raw sleet]

i mean i do have a bunch of modded phones yeah

[frank oriole]

dayum

what a beast

[raw sleet]

mostly older samsung phones, pre-android 6 era

the current era of a/b partitioning is pretty cool too though

which is basically "unlock bootloader and have fun"

[frank oriole]

so you squeezing every drop of performance out of your devices

this is so cool.

[raw sleet]

technically yeah!

thats another thing

my xperia 5v now doesnt need greenify

it just doesnt run out of battery for a whole day

sometimes almost 2 days if im not playing asphalt on it

so during weekends it usually sticks on just 1 charge

[frank oriole]

lets dive into the xiaomi rom community

[raw sleet]

at least it has in the past 2 weekends since i switched to lineage

[frank oriole]

see what they have to offer

so much optimized versions

[raw sleet]

just make sure you go for aosp-based roms

stuff like crdroid, pixel experience, lineage

[frank oriole]

ahh its like the most trusted scaffold BEFORE modding occurs on that os?

[raw sleet]

also keep in mind, most custom roms do NOT come with google apps, youll have to flash them yourself

[raw sleet]

well no its the most reliable since it doesnt look like trash

[frank oriole]

lol

[raw sleet]

most roms are usually built off of lineageos ironically

cause thats almost the cleanest android for modding

[frank oriole]

maybe licensing issues.. i dunno

[raw sleet]

yes its that

[frank oriole]

ah lol

[raw sleet]

lineageos used to be called cyanogenmod

[frank oriole]

xD

[raw sleet]

back in the android 2 days

yeah, 2

crazy i know

[frank oriole]

when they rebranded?

[raw sleet]

the creator of cyanogen got warned by google for shipping google apps

they rebranded with android 7

[frank oriole]

yes its a valid point

[raw sleet]

hence why they had to start shipping cyanogen without google apps

which is fine really, just an extra file you have to flash alongside

[frank oriole]

i like how you explain things

you dont just "do this" you explain the "why"

[raw sleet]

just like how i explain how i hate multiplayer

[frank oriole]

^_^

do you take part in any xda forums?

[raw sleet]

sadly no

i keep on the low

[frank oriole]

maybe publishing articles

i dunno

you sound like a trusted professional

[raw sleet]

the most ive done was contribute to the legacy portable computing wiki

[frank oriole]

i must admit

[raw sleet]

i am Not a programmer

[frank oriole]

no you are not

[raw sleet]

im just tinkering and throwing things at the wall

[frank oriole]

if you were a programmer i would have know already

[raw sleet]

and then i pass on my experience

[frank oriole]

trial and error

i can relate

[raw sleet]

yeah a whole lots of it

im lucky enough lineage just worked 1st try on my xperia

[frank oriole]

even as senior dev i still do trial and errors

[raw sleet]

like, i didnt do it for MONTHS cause i was terrified of bricking it

the guide is a lot more different compared to my google pixel

like i had to flash 4 images through fastboot

and then 4 zip files in the lineage recovery

[frank oriole]

no warrany

warranty after you do custom rom

[raw sleet]

not like it would help

[frank oriole]

so ye.. you brickin it

[raw sleet]

i got the xperia online

[frank oriole]

ah lol

i see

[raw sleet]

i buy all my phones online

isp have the absolute garbage tier offerings

samsung alphas, cheap xiaomis

[frank oriole]

but how do u trust the phone will come without scratch?

[raw sleet]

actual garbage

i dont

[frank oriole]

like how can you pay much money

[raw sleet]

but so far its worked

[frank oriole]

idk

[raw sleet]

pixel 3 and xperia 5v both came new in box off of ebay

nothing 2a was off of amazon for my sister

[frank oriole]

why dont u buy in local stores

[raw sleet]

cause they dont exist here

[frank oriole]

XD

[raw sleet]

imports only

[frank oriole]

where u live

[raw sleet]

somewhere, not in nevada

central europe, basically no qualcomm stuff here

which is stupid??

the first pixel phone we got here is the pixel 6

which baffled me

but it made sense as soon as you looked at the soc

tensor isnt qualcomm so oh whoops suddenly its europe-compliant

idk man, phone companies are stupid most of the time

like its not like my phone will explode if its a qualcomm

[frank oriole]

real issues .. qualcom rewally makes best android chips

you are working around regional market limitations to get better hardware

i see how u operate

nice

[raw sleet]

i havent done a benchmark with lineageos yet but on stock rooted it basically was neck and neck with a s23 ultra

[frank oriole]

btw

if you like the technical challenge, why wouldnt you start developing?

[raw sleet]

low interest

procrastination etc etc

[frank oriole]

but u want to?

[raw sleet]

yes and no??

mostly no

it seems like hell for my tism

[frank oriole]

lel

i see..

an expert user

thats how they should label you

[raw sleet]

garbage tier expert

[frank oriole]

decade isnt garbage

u are skilled

but u are a poweruser

[raw sleet]

sort of

its not like i use the terminal constantly on my phone

[frank oriole]

you can run the best reviews possible for hardware

thats why i asked about xda

[raw sleet]

anyways

[frank oriole]

you are something else

[raw sleet]

im toxxy

[frank oriole]

me on the other hand

debugging my life

xD

[raw sleet]

yeah, i code

in css

[frank oriole]

well i wouldnt call css coding but i get it

nice

[raw sleet]

thats the joke

its not coding

[frank oriole]

ahhhh

xD

cuz i heard people say "i do code, css html" and its always funny

[raw sleet]

alright now imma geekbench

time to see if i got better performance

thing is with lineageos, i lost 32bit app support

some little reading ive done is, phones that have both zygote and zygote64 running, generally can have performance issues

which could also explain the lag i faced on stock

forgot to mention, gifs and videos broke my refresh and response times every time i viewed them on stock

on lineage it doesnt happen anymore, 120hz all the time

[frank oriole]

wow

i love open source

[raw sleet]

thankfully sony keeps their android stuff open source

ironic too

[frank oriole]

LOL

[raw sleet]

god forbid you mod a playstation console

but nah its ALL good with their phones

[frank oriole]

ye ye

funny as hell

[raw sleet]

i can get why though

[frank oriole]

?

[raw sleet]

consoles are for people that lack a frontal lobe

[frank oriole]

XD

[raw sleet]

their phones though are for enthusiasts

you dont get a sony phone for a great experience

you get a sony phone if you care about owning your phone

sony phones are notorious for having terrible auto

[frank oriole]

tbh i have no clue what Zygote is

[raw sleet]

which i dont mind frankly

[frank oriole]

sounds like super advanced stuff

[raw sleet]

its something kernel-related on android

handles 32bit and 64bit apps i guess

[frank oriole]

ah another kernel thingy

[raw sleet]

yeah i could re-enable zygote32 but

i would have to reset the phone

someone made magisk specifically for zygote32 functionality

just sucks you need to wipe data to do it

[frank oriole]

mm

look

sony has many products and you are right

the plug-and-play products

are for the braindead

[raw sleet]

alright performance didnt improve much over the s23 ultra

but thats STILL good

[frank oriole]

without place for tinkering

[frank oriole]

so you test yourself scientifically in geekbench.. amazing

[raw sleet]

benchmarks are stupid

but it helps your ego regardless

"yeah my xperia is better than your bloated samsung"

[frank oriole]

i dont care about the high numbers

[raw sleet]

me neither

[frank oriole]

funny thing is

[raw sleet]

my phone is responsive and it runs asphalt unite consistently at 60fps (because the devs suck and dont let me do 120)

[frank oriole]

u measured improvment from 2 apps to 5

120hz consistency

and yet you look for numbers

for ego ?

[raw sleet]

imagine gatekeeping 120fps because "we care that your phone doesnt explode"

do note the xperia 5v has the same soc as the s23 ultra
