  • The A is midrange?

    I got a S24 basic model ans and this feels like a rather midrange phone.

    My old phone, like 8 years older, was faster in charging, bigger screen, better camera, etc etc.

    This just feels like an Android copy of an iPhone with some tiny bullshit AI features that I can actually download as apps on my older phone most the time

    If I could’ve actually just replaced my screen with a proper new oled and replaced the battery, it would’ve been fine.


  • Also BT has allowed multiple devices to connect to the same one for ages. Like since 4.0 at least.

    I can have my headphones connected to my phone and my computer so that I just pause the audio on one and start up in the other. Sometimes the switch takes a second or two but that’s it.

    It’s been like that for years on BT speakers, but probably not the very cheapest ones from like 5 years ago, (no offense to anyone I buy the cheapest ones I just happened to get a morr expensive one by luck back then), but my cheap-ass Chinese headphones can do that as can my generic brand bt speaker.

    If you connect two devices, it usually prioritises the one which started playing media most recently. As in I put a song on, but then you click a song on your phone so it takes over.

    So I feel like it’s more a skill issue with the guy you’re replying to but might just be older BT.


  • I have like a huge pile of letters from some twat lawyers sending threatening letters about copyright.

    The sad thing is most people I asked say “I would pay”. This was like more than 10 years ago when I first got some of them.

    The Pirate Party in Finland tried informing people of them being just threats, but Finns are really complicit people and afraid of breaking any rules, so I’m sure these twat lawyers made thousand, tens, maybe even hundreds of thousands. With Finland’s tiny 5m population.

    Basically what happens is some company in Germany which owns the rights to some B-class show or just a porn film even, then they upload it to an open torrent site. Wait for people to download it (remember the didn’t give permission to download it), look at the IP’s, then send the respective country in EU a request for the ISP to get that IP owner’s information and then hire a local lawyer to send them a threatening letter; “you’ve illegally downloaded a porn movie, pay us 800€ or we’ll take you to court and you’ll have to pay tens of thousands.”

    And if that goes to someone married or someone who downloaded fetish porn or something, they’ll be even more likely to pay.

    I never replied or did jack shit. Nothing has happened.
