The work culture is bad in China, I would not want to work 997.

US is worse

Cool thanks for the info I’m thinking to get a travel phone with this os on it. Maybe a used pixel 7 or 8

No government can be trusted.

To you know if wechat or alipay work? I need these while traveling. They use QR codes for payment and other services. I wish this took off everywhere as nfc payments are locked into only a few apps.

They have folding phones that’s are smallish

Dvd video on a cell phone looks great

The issue with blurays are the unskippable intros before the menu hits

This is true. Spending more for newer A series vs used “higher” end older models is up the how the phone is used daily.

The A Series is like the Nissan Sentra of phones in my opinion.

No way! I am totally shocked! /s

At 299 or 399, but at 499?? That’s a hard pass. You can get a used pixel for less and better specs. I get it that people like new, but phone innovation has mostly stalled.

You can get a new battery for an older phone installed. I’m just saying this is getting like the car market where buying used is the value leader.

I think they should drop the a series. The used phone market can fill the gap.

Improve

Get a box of cds at a garage sale.

I also want to look into the exit node stuff.

Bohi linux?

Air fryer, i got it for around $20 at bestbuy. I haven’t used my gas range in years. I ended up getting a bigger over for 45 recently to make larger meats without having to cut them. I get the bella pro brand. They are certainly nothing fancy, but very high value for the amount of cooking I’ve done in them. Pork tenderloin, perfect.

Can’t use a vpn it shows location is from unexpected location and gets my passport reset. Its really annoying.

Sorry, I referred to car features that we really need. Before 2020 we had functional car interiors that everyone knew had to use and were pretty safe. I haven’t seen much innovation that has helped beyond moving all controls to the glued on iPad behind a subscription.
