Yeah, I had the same issue. Sometimes it was the SD card, sometimes the network interface (not your case obviously), sometimes things connected to USB, sometimes it was running hot… I gave up and now I just run everything on an older Slimbook Zero. Yes, power consumption is higher (still pretty low) but so is stability.
For all we know Locke is a SciFi movie about guy living in the year 2050 and refusing to use modern phones and cars due to privacy concerns.
Yes but the SciFi movies are not about people living in wood shacks so we don’t see them.
You know how in SciFi movies everyone has the same phone? This is why.
I’m sure it differs from phone to phone but on the one stock android phone that I have somewhere it’s impossible to remove the search widget from the screen which is pretty insane. I can’t imagine using a stock android any more.
For virtualization.
Not if the author finds and destroys it.
I’m thinking about moving to Korea. Not forever but for a year or two. Learn the language, get to know the culture, disconnect for a bit and come back to EU. How’s the IT job market there? Is it doable?
Wow! I love Dune!
Depends where you live. In some countries nothing. In other countries fines. In some death penalty.
Adblock extension was always available. Now more extensions work on mobile but adblock was available from day 1.
And this is what does the tracking? Or just occupies space?
My GF bought Samsung phone couple of weeks ago and all the apps were removable (as in you could uninstall, not just hide). They have different version of the OS for different markets, right?
Honestly I don’t get the entire concept of spending tracking apps. I believe in the end it just a hobby that some obsessive personality types enjoy with no real value behind it. Saving money is super easy: don’t buy things you don’t need. What I do is I make a meal plan for the week and only buy things needed to prepare them. I buy basic ingredients like vegetables, rice, chicken, eggs. If I need thinks like shampoo, detergent and stuff I compare the prices in the store and get the cheaper option. How would following all my expenses help me save any meaningful amount of money? For me you either don’t care about money and just buy everything you like or you simply make sure you don’t buy things you don’t need. Why would you need an app for that?
And going back to your example, I can cover all this with really simple spreadsheet. Monthly expenses: mortgage, car, spotify, netflix, insurance, VPS, bills, food… Why would I need an app for that? I think there could be some use in an app that specifically tracks entertainment subscriptions. I could have centralized info about current prices and free periods so you would just have to tell it when you signed up and for what plan and it could tell you when the next payment will be and what it will be. Still not very useful but IMHO way more useful than an app that tells you what’s your mortgage.
While I agree that mortgage is a monthly payment I highly doubt anyone would forget they signed up for it wouldn’t know they are paying it. Same with insurance. Bank app handles regular payments. This is more about the small charges that are hard to track.

Out of curiosity, what do you use it for? What things do you save there?
Are you suggesting everyone using those apps has amnesia?
What are all you people taking notes about? Is everyone here still in school? Why not just remember things?
But you need 2024 phone to run it.
