Virkkunen

I also like flat lukewarm soda for some reason. I feel like I’m just drinking a syrup. If it’s cold however, it’s the most disgusting thing ever.

I actually host this for myself and found out the same results as wrapped gave me between February and October this year.

“More reasons to Avoid the Raspberry Pi”

I didn’t know we even had reasons to avoid it

Nope, never used a private tracker before (forgot to add this). The site just seems innacurate.

I don’t use a VPN nor I bother with one, I download movie torrents all the time (5 this week already) and the list is completely empty. I do have dynamic IP but ir usually only changes after I restart my router, which I haven’t done for a month now.

And there’s NeoWin again with the Windows 12 clickbaits. This “leak” is just Windows 11 IoT Enterprise Subscription, and there’s absolutely nothing nowhere that even mentions the number 12.

Watch out mate, you’re going to bring out the deniers

Simple and effective, looks pretty good

Google does not take anything as seriously as they should.

I have the same “issue” on my galaxy watch 5 pro. I can see the dents on walls I accidentally hit, but the watch hasn’t a single scratch.

And being pedantic, it’s not sapphire glass, it’s sapphire crystal. Glass is a wholly different thing. Sapphire glass would be when Apple claims their products have sapphire in them, but in reality they just mix the tiniest amount of sapphire in the glass so they can technically call it sapphire glass, but it doesn’t offer any extra resistance or hardness.

The galaxy watches are pretty good, and as usual, Samsung carried Wear OS on its back while Google was planning on killing it, up to a point that Google then decided to have their own smart watches.

There’s always the under-the-hood changes from Android upstream, and Samsung keeps adding customization options every update. Without rooting or 3rd party apps*, no other OEM comes close to OneUI’s customizability. For me, that’s a huge plus.

*I meant specifically 3rd party apps, because Samsung has the Good Lock suite of apps, which needs to be installed from the store. They work somewhat as a beta testing of features or advanced controls for existing features, and many of the features are added to new updates, for instance, the quick settings easy access up to One UI 5.1 (Android 13) is only available via Good Lock’s Quick Star module, but seems to be built-in on One UI 6 (Android 14)

The “Quick Panel” […] in terms of the look, it’s a pretty shameless copy of iOS’ Control Center

What is the penchant for these journalists to say everything looks/is copied from Apple? The quick settings menu looks nothing like iOS control center, unless they’re talking about both having buttons and a blurred background. Also I believe Samsung’s design is older than Apple’s, at least first iterations of it.

Apple

People tend to forget that they aren’t the centre of the universe

Samsung’s and Apple’s have negligible battery drain.

While the salaries and economic power in Brazil are a lot lower than the US, our internet and phone plans are a lot cheaper, accessible and provide a better service than most of the US, that still stuck in data caps, feature blocking and low speeds.

I have never heard about this here in Latin America. If you want to port forward you can easily do it via your router, even the ISP’s provided ones. There’s also nothing stopping you from using the ISP router only as a bridge and handling everything from your own router, the ISP router only needs to receive the internet and nothing more.

The only thing about being connectable is that we have dynamic IPs, but you can easily solve that with DDNS

It’s funny how out of touch with reality Americans are.

Here in Brazil I’m paying around 20 USD for fiber optic 1000mbps down and 500mbps up without data caps. Brazilian law also only considers piracy a crime if there’s profit (i.e. trying to sell a movie I’ve downloaded), so there’s no need to hide anything.

Editing for more information:

My home internet speeds almost never drop below 90%, there’s also a law that requires ISPs to deliver at least 80% of what was paid for. You can easily port forward, there are no blocks or anything. We also have dynamic IPs, but you can easily get around that by using a DDNS.

My mobile plan is around $15, I get 45GB monthly with 5G at no extra cost (5G gets around 300-600mbps down depending on the time of the day), unlimited calling to any number in the country, unlimited SMS (nobody uses SMS though), and for roaming I get 1GB daily internet and 1 hour daily calling with no extra cost.

All of this is cheap and very accessible to everyone.
