Not sure they’re $1 each if you need a dac.

Again I was sucked in here… I bought WF1000XM3, then XM4. Since having a kid, we’ve had to watch spending a bit more and i’ve really started to embrace repairability and longevity. Recently picked up a Framework laptop that I plan on keeping for a long time.

Similar with android. I had a pixel 5 and loved it, the pixel 6 pro came out and I was dragged in (higher res screen, 120hz etc etc). Then the pixel 7 pro came out and I bought that too (mainly for signal improvements).

Looking back, my pixel 5 did/does everything these do. I’ve decided my next upgrades will be whenever the below happens:

• Phone broken
• No more updates
• Feature I need, and I mean need (it would be hard for a phone to come out to do this)

I don’t need some random AI features/camera improvments. 99% of my phone use is podcasts, browsing the internet and any phone from the last 5 years will do that nicely still.

Probably not as many as you’d think. Switch nails PS3 games usually.

What are you subbed too? Looking for recomendations.

There an RSS feed?

Galaxy s5 was only 0.3mm thicker than an iPhone 14.

Ip67 and replaceable battery

I doubt apple will make a french SKU that’s different to the GB SKU. The NA market is big enough to get it’s own SKU though (see sim card slot)

When they have this i’ll move over and start to consolodate some other services.

The users like it more.

Stop making new things, add this into keep ffs.

Yeah that’s fair. I think I grew a bit tired of their energy.

How’s Smashing Security these days? I listened a few years ago but grew to not like them as much.

I have a few I like.

• Cyber - Motherboard from Vice. Will have a weekly discussion about hacks/breaches etc etc.
• Digital Foundry Weekly - Weekly discussion with the guys from DF about PC hardware and gaming technology.
• Hunting Warhead- Investigative series about finding and hunting child abuse victims on the dark web.
• Intruder alert- Only just started this one personally and it’s new, but it’s discussions about about techniques used by hackers
• Cybercrime Investigations - The title says it all, some british cyber journalists explore some famous hacks.
• Rabbit Hole - New york time that explores whaty the internet is doing to us.

Not quite podcasts but here’s some tech “podcasts” I download via yt-dlp from youtube and import into my favourite podcatcher, mainly because they don’t have an MP3 RSS feed and I like the podcast format.

• Asianometry- Releases episodes in depth about science/tech in asia, very often covers semi-conductors.
• TechTechPotato- Ian Cutress’ youtube channel regarding AI and semi-conductors.

On a side note I bought 5x4TB Seagate Iron Wolf drives in 2018.

They were cheaper then, than now.

Which apps and what do they rely on? I just need stuff like banking/email/browser/whatsapp(I know but it’s what everyone uses here).

I’ve always wanted to do this. How stable are these roms? Do all apps work without issue from google play?

Good man. Black on my phone thanks
