11 months agoI will be the devil’s advocate here and say that having the 8 Gb ram config on their cheapest machines (MBA, Mac Mini) is perfectly fine, but having it as the base config on the MBP is borderline false advertising.

I have a Poco X5 5G which was the cheapest phone they had with a headphone jack and 5G support. I use it daily with my wired IEMs. The sound quality is better and I don’t have to worry about battery for long listening sessions. I do have a Soundcore Liberty 4NC for calls though. It gets pretty awkward using wired IEMs for calls nowadays.
I use Firefox exclusively on Desktop and Brave exclusively on mobile. Firefox on Mobile still has performance issues for me.
As I said in an earlier post, better get out now and migrate while the communities are still intact rather than slowly bleeding out due to these policies. There is going to be one kind of content on Reddit and that’s the ad-friendly, corporate supported kind.
It’s probably gonna turn subscription based. As in, you have to subscribe to not only send Thank-Yous but also receive them. What Reddit wants are paying customers for their IPO, not “users”.
I basically quit Reddit cold turkey. Rather than watch the slow, sad decline of its communities by going along with Reddit management, I’d advocate them to make the transition to the Fediverse now rather than later. The /retrogaming/ community (I need to drop the /r/ for obvious reasons) did this and is doing quite well for itself on Lemmy and Mastodon.
1·1 year agoI also have a S20 FE and can attest to the bloatware they install with each software update.
Samsung is pretty much notorious for this, especially in developing countries where they bundle in every third-party service, PayLater app, shitty mobile game, etc alongside a new device. The only reason they are seen as preferable is that other companies are doing worse (see: Xiaomi).
That’s about it. I don’t use ChatGPT often enough to sub. I sometimes subscribe to Canva Pro if I have a project ongoing.
