  I always keep the isp provided router for the rare case i need support. On the flip side if the problem goes away it’s a me problem.

  I’ve seen a Firefox plugin called block the rich… I guess it wouldn’t fly if they called it block Elon

  Not used it so don’t know if it’s any good

  I put mine in the original packaging and donated to one of these gifts for kids collections… in hind sight that product was so niche especially being pc gaming is probably quite rare in low income families I can’t imagine any kid being happy with it so I feel a bit guilty!

  I was asking a genuine question not trolling, if it’s true I’ll get an AMD card next!

  Guessing amd has better Linux support? Been running Linux for a while on my laptop but my gaming rig has been a windows strong hold.

  Not supporting intel 7th gen and back seemed pretty strong handed, even now they’re still decent processors.

  And I know there are work-arounds but not for the average consumer

  God I loved the Nexus 4, I had iPhones from iPhone 3G to 4 moved to a Galaxy S3 which I absolutely despised due to the bloatware… sold that on eBay and bought a Nexus 4 16gb for £280… Had Nexus/Pixel branded phones ever since.

  Do you put something like lineage on it? I replaced my 5 with a 7a just because it no longer gets updates as of this month I believe it is

  Growing up we always had outdoor cats and my first cat was outdoors and the more I learned that wasn’t great I tried to transition inside after moving house, I figured it would work best alongside of change of scenery and like you described she just howled at the door constantly and stared out of the window… I gave up after 6 months.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨As an OG Reddit Sync user of over 10 years, all this arguing really brings a tear to my eye. 🥲⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  Amazing how good it is considering the amount of back end changes needed.

  It was obviously written well with separation of concerns considered so it could be done that way.

• ⁨Comment⁩ on ⁨People are getting fed up with all the useless tech in their cars⁩ ⁨⁨1⁩ ⁨year⁩ ago⁩:

  I got a 2011 with basic matrix display for mpg mileage trip etc, retro fitted Bluetooth (because the inbuilt one is too janky for a modern phone) and have my phone in a cradle it’s absolutely perfect.
