it's not literally hidden, but it's not easily searchable because since it's a chat, it's not indexable on search engines. A forum is a better solution to avoid the same questions being asked 1000x and to expose great solutions and advices.

That's the problem, discussions should happen on the open web, not hidden in chatrooms

Discord and matrix are not searchable, they shouldn't be used at all

Use Kimovil to check bands and specs. If it's a mediatek cpu, don't buy it, it has poor custom rom support. Only buy snapdragon fabbed by TSMC. Make sure this would be a popular phone (because only popular phones get roms) by checking hype. You will have to run Xiaomi.EU as your rom for a good while then maybe after a few years you might get some better roms.

It's 2023, we shouldn't promote proprietary apps that adds tracking and ads

It should be a price upfront. Instead it bakes ads into the app, ads which aren't even present on the instances. I find it a bit disrespectful towards the hosts who maintain their instances for free and only ask for donations.

 

I don't know what it is with this display, but I've never experienced something like this despite owning multiple amoled and oled phones.

The whites are blindingly white even at low brightness. On a more balanced image, the displays seems not bright enough even at max. Since text is often white, it hurts to read text. And outside, the display is barely readable.

Am I the only one having difficulty with this display? I used to have an iPhone 13 Pro Max and a Note9 before this phone, both running always at full brightness too. Now I don't venture above 20% indoors.

Chrome actually protected your sorry ass. Why the fuck are you not running Ublock origin?

It's shocking that they're so openly scamming their customers. Base models comes with last's year chip and features. Has a gimped USB 2.0 port for maybe a 5$ difference. It's a total insult.
