I looked into my options really carefully when choosing my phone last year. Few things to note, when looking for an Android phone:

  • Make sure it's either a pixel or a Snapdragon powered phone. This just means that if the manufacturer does some stupid stuff, there is a higher probability of your phone having a custom rom.
  • Stay away from Samsung if you want to install custom roms, they are really against it.
  • Pick a manufacturer of good build quality and software updates being stable, some manufacturers just half as them and brick the phone/ damage display/motherboard because they pushed update with wrong voltage.
  • if you want a basic phone and don't really care about the most beautiful photos or do heavy mobile gaming, just pick a cheap phone, it will be more than enough.

The phone I picked was Moto G52, it cost me ~150USD and it is one of the best phone experiences I've had. It lasts me 2-3 days on a charge, mostly because I do close to nothing on it just answering calling/messages and some basic internet surfing. For my purpose, it is better than a top end iPhone/Android phone.

Motorola is quite slow with updates, but the community is great and created and are now maintaing custom roms, which means I get the latest software updates quite regularly. The camera is passable, but the speakers they are loud like really really loud, louder almost all smartphone.

Bonus points: it has a headphone jack.

I also got myself a surname.me domain for this reason. Now I feel like a boss.

p.s. I'm also a bit scared if the .me domain could be called of by the country,. since it's not a genericTLD, controlled by Montenegro.

So no more racoons? 🥺

So did you give in and start feeding them? Or did it evolve into a war, which you lost by moving somewhere else?

Rather than a screen a good place to mount phone by default which is easy to remove and place would be amazing.

I can't say, OP is probably saying having NONE as pronouns is bad?

If that is it, I will probably take shyguygamer667 side cause it just might be that they are not willing to disclose their pronouns and that is perfectly fine.

I mean to say that the wet bulb temperature at which most will die is ~31.5°C, the gaurdian report I linked is saying that the 35°C number comes from a 2010 study, whereas the findings of the 2022 study found the number to be much lower ~31.5°C.

Hubs are one of the reasons I pushed my brother to get a ThinkPad for University. He has all the ports he wants, no need to carry a stupid USB hub.

From what I know the critical wet bulb temperature is ~31.5°C. it was from a study done last year.

A long shoe horn.

I got it cause my formal shoes are a tight fight. It has been a game changer, it is a whole new experience wearing shoes, even the normal ones.
