Even then Nexus and early Pixels I used had pretty meh battery experiences. The highlights now are the cameras but there’s too much AI crap for my liking and Exynos bones put me off. Let’s see what’s about when my Zenfone 10 starts ageing. It’s been a quirky, mildly buggy (mainly Telegram crashes) but otherwise solid experience, with meh cameras vs the Pixel and Samsung offerings. Stabilisation on videos has been solid though thanks to the gimbal.

I got Google to give me a full refund before my 6P bootlooped so I bought a Pixel XL. No Pixels since for me. Oneplus 7T Pro then Zenfone 10.

Honestly the main thing keeping me from going back to Pixel was the chip but by 2025 I’m sure I’ll have other issues with the landscape of mobiles.

I’ve been toying with the idea of getting back into Linux for a while now. While I’m still on W10 I’m not rushing, and haven’t installed a TPM Module so Windows doesn’t force W11 on me yet, but when I have no choice that may push my hand. There’s some stuff I find easier on Windows but Linux has really caught up in the past 20 years and I reckon I could daily it in the coming years.

Grim Fandango, Full Throttle and Normality all have vivid memories in my brain.

I haven’t rooted any phones or flashed roms in years. Please let me know why it’s so taboo to mention Magisk?

Now this would be useful.

Oh, I’ve been using AdiIRC for ages now, just for chat though. Some quirks, but overall I chose this after using HexChat, can’t remember why now.

I’ve had 4 system updates so far. Let’s see how long before it slows down.

Also been invited to the Android 14 preview.

Interesting but should be baked in.
