  • I have a pixel 6 pro, but I wouldn’t recommend it. You’d think Google is capable of providing a perfect Android experience, but my old Note 9 was way less buggy.

    I’ve had lots of issues with 3rd party launchers (nova), I can’t even use the USBC with a dongle and second screen (my old Note could do this without issues). Also this is my first phone without headphone jack and SD slot, both I really miss. Just in general the software (especially in the beginning) felt really buggy with small glitches etc.

    I don’t think I’ll ever go pixel again.





  • No but I am looking for a new laptop and this time I’ll definitely spent more time checking Linux compatibility.

    My previous thinkpad worked fine out of the box, but my current laptop is an HP Omen, that I mostly selected for the price to performance ratio. But I immediately learned that Linux compatibility sucked. Like not being able to boot an Ubuntu usb drive (without messing with the boot parameters).










  • I once had a phone with a replaceable battery, headphone jack, IR blaster (so it was also my TV remote) and SD slot.

    I feel after this we gained waterproof phones.

    (although I only once dropped my phone in water and it was before waterproof phones and it still worked 48 hours later, so I don’t care that much for waterproof phones).

    Anyway I feel we just got downhill after this phone, my current pixel has no: headphone jack, IR blaster, SD slot, replaceable battery, etc.

    I wonder what would happen when a major smartphone maker would make a phone with all those features again.
