Phones, can't live with them, can't live without them (note to self: please do not let Allison anywhere near setting up or troubleshooting smartphones, for both her sake and for yours)

@allison Take the dumbphone pill. I switched to this a couple weeks ago and it’s the best phone I’ve ever owned.

@allison You don't want to see what's on my phone anyway.

@orekix @allison Smartphone cost is subsidized by datamining. They're not cheap because they cost less to make.Plus service is like $5 a month.

@knotteye too bad the sim carriers have truly awful reception and/or billing systems

@allison It's quite curious how a person can be both really into computers and also not care in the slightest about smartphones.Tinkering with my PC is a great joy, but my phone? I want it to just work, I don't care about customization or anything like that.I wonder why that is.

@cirno I'm starting to become quite exacting of what I want out of my phones, not out of the joy I still sometimes feel when working with general-purpose computers, but complete paranoia that if I don't do it, someone else will take it upon themselves to do things *much* worse.

@knotteye @allison I like maps + uber on my phone, very convenientI have no problem with simply not using my phone, I detest them for everything that isn't messaging and calls, services like the previous two I mentioned are what I consider nice convenience to haveabsolutely 0 dumb crap like social media or games on my phone though

@allison I haven't noticed any reception issues, but I obviously don't use my phone that much or have strong opinions on carriers.

@knotteye @allison also the stellarium app for android is really nice, my mom was curious on which stars were actual stars and which were planets and you just point your phone at the stars an it shows you the constellations and all that

@orekix @allison I know what I sound like but I swear it isn't some stupid cali girl digital detox thing. It really is just a nice, quality phone. It does maps (with GPS only too, no net connection!).Honestly I bought it because I broke a phone and was looking for a replacement that wouldn't spy on me and wasn't fragile. I could go through the whole flashing lineage thing or I could just buy a dumbphone that can't sell my data if it doesn't have any. That one seemed more appealing after I bricked a phone installing lineage.

@knotteye @orekix What phone did you brick, out of curiosity? I'm considering installing lineage on the actual phone I get after this placeholder, and I want to make sure it's as relatively idiot-proofed as possible

@allison @orekix Unihertz titan.My pro-tips for don't bricking your phone are: use something you can flash the official lineage recovery on, even if you use a different custom recovery. If it's got a lineage recovery build then guaranteed someone else has actually flashed your device with lineage so if you do what they did it'll work.I bricked my phone because I was like "pfft I'll just get my hands dirty and manually flash system images with fastboot alone."

@knotteye @orekix Ah, gotcha. Well the one I'm considering is a Pixel 5a so it should probably have some measure of official support.

@MischievousTomato @allison @orekix Yeah qualcomm's tooling is impressive, it can make up for shitty recovery support. The titan has a mediatek SoC unfortunately.

@allison @orekix I've never seen a custom ROM that didn't support Pixels, they're every phone hacker's first port I think.

@knotteye @orekix And just as well considering. Except for all that fancy Xperia stuff Sony puts out, Pixel 5a is the last current flagship which offers 3.5mm headphone support
