I really want phones like this to actually work and to succeed, but there are so many things these companies have to get just right – it’s a huge undertaking.
Releasing a phone that’s admittedly unfinished seems really risky. People are getting sick of unfinished products being tossed at them for full price, with the empty promises from the company that those missing features will be added in later.
I thought $500 for only 6GB of ram is really disappointing.
I would love an android version of this and I will give you feedback on it and donate.
I don’t hate those people but I do want to slap them and tell them NO.
Magisk requires patching the boot image to gain root. The i believe the boot img gets overwritten during an OS update, and so each time it needs to be repatched. I’m not knowledgable enough to automate patching the boot image automatically after an OS update.
I wish the modern xperia phones were more popular and got more love. Hardware-wise they are amazing, i just wish they had easily-replaceable batteries.
I just replaced the battery in mine. I had to get a heat gun to take off the back plate, as well as a new seal for the back plate. I’m not 100% convinced it is still water resistant, and I don’t plan on finding out.
I would love to try /e/, but for some reason there is no support for the Sony Xperia 1 iii.
In fact, LineageOS is my only option, and after a bunch of time spent learning how to set it up and tweaking it to meet my needs, it’s mostly fantastic. My biggest complaints are missing camera features and no easy way to do OS updates while maintaining root.
If anyone knows of a way to automate the process of regaining root after updates, please tell me!
A school shouldn’t make kids pay to call their legal guardian. Make phone calls free.
Were they actually being dishonest about it, or were they not disclosing it? There are a lot of things people don’t disclose before meeting up. Outside of a romantic relationship context, cis people tend to be more accepting of trans people in general if the cis people don’t know right away that the person is trans and find out later.
But for sexual/romantic relationships it’s different because most people want to know the genitals of their potential partners up front. This makes it difficult for trans people, who are stuck deciding at what point they should disclose the state of their genitals, in a way that is considered honest, keeps them safe, and maintains some privacy.
Flight attendant: “Why are these screens pushed in and stained orange?”
Yes, please! Keep pushing on the screen harder and harder until it breaks. Then do it on the screen next to you.
Yeah but most people aren’t lemmy users, meaning that the people who are here and have tech questions probably do more with their computers.
I have windows-only software i use that interfaces with hardware and the only way it all works is using an actual windows PC – not a VM.
I’m actually really happy for them that they’ve never been persecuted for their sexual orientation!
Nice try but you’re not tricking me that easily into using Twitter!
Fun story:
Tonight I pirated the PC version of Firmament (made by Cyan Worlds). I backed the game well over two years ago but the game was delayed, and then when it finally released a year ago, Cyan only released the PC version, and the PS4/5 version —the version I elected to receive — still hasn’t come out yet. I don’t know if it ever will and I’m tired of waiting.
So I pirated a game I bought for a different platform because it never released for the platform I bought it for.
I’m allowed to use it and be critical of it at the same time. But I use it way less these days because adblocker or not, it’s become a user-hostile and censored place and every video is following the same formula in order to get seen the most and the whole thing feels gross.
God I fucking hate YouTube.
Well in that case, one brand of such glasses is Reflectacles 😎
Oh wow 3-4 is great. My current android phone is using 9Gb out of 12. It’s insane. I have no idea what’s using it all.
I hope that since this phone isn’t running android, 6gb will be enough.
