  • Advanced versions can even instruct your phone to change important settings under the hood and expose you to significant vulnerabilities.

    The scariest thing for me.

    At one point I got something along the lines of "Your carrier has changed some settings, tap to review.", once again showing me that my phone isn't mine.
    In this case it was emergency alerts, but I don't know what all they can change. It wasn't a carrier phone, by the way.
    I also found apps related to (I think) multiple carriers, just disabled by default on Moto G52 5G. Orange was definitely one of them.

  • My closest attempt at pronouncing that:

     <>
        
    echo 'šxʷməθkʷəy̓əmasəm' | aplay -c 1 -f u8 -r 2000 -t raw -
    
      
  • Unfortunately, when buying a phone I always have to make some compromise. If I aim for hardware or very specific feature, there's going to be a compromise in software.

    If I was looking for software, Google Pixel with GrapheneOS looks quite nice.

    To be specific with the key features/functionality of my phone:

    Software: Surviving high DPI without the software falling apart (I hate how large everything is on phones by default, plus >=600dp the tablet mode is awesome), OMAPI (needed for external eUICC), manual band mode selection (indoors and in vehicles this can sometimes make a huge difference, like from 35Mbps to 150Mbps based on my tests), manual cell tower selection (I haven't yet made much use of this apart from figuring out that towers in city seem to have 1km limit), and a lot of other stuff in Engineer Mode that I don't yet understand so I won't touch (some settings can persist factory reset).

    Hardware: 85.14Wh battery (22,000mAh for the more marketable way to write it, and for comparison, my ThinkPad has a 45Wh battery), Dual SIM + SD card (not hybrid), IR blaster, headphone jack, custom button (short, long, double click), 1,000lm light that sucks up 6W (I don't have a way to measure that though), night vision camera (IR), FM radio that works without earphones (still works better with them).

  • I've been trying to find it for a while now, but I can't.

    Constantly plays at Tesco supermarkets, goes like A ha a ha a ha, yuhoo yuhoo yuhoo, a ha ha haa haaa haaaa. No lyrics, just womans voice making these, I guess meant to be "happy and excited" noises made into a song that plays on repeat.

  • Work, family, language, money. There can be many reasons.

  • card holder, lanyard or finger loop.

    Damn, I was hoping for electronic accessories like the Moto mods.

  • It also serves as a plug

    Yep, time for some sleep. My brain just auto inserted "butt".

  • I think workers would be better than drones. Drones can't even sting.

  • Without water, just the syrup.
