Not really sure why Samsung has started returning to that style of camera module on their newest phones. It isn’t old enough to have any kind of nostalgia value and still looks dated to me. Maybe that’s the point and they have decided their high end phones need to be more visibly distinct from the rest of the lineup? Or maybe they are trying to copy Apple again? Sony are the only manufacturer I can think of that retained this design consistently and they are a bit of an outlier since they often ignore industry trends.

The 5T still has official LineageOS support here. You can also get a microG version here.

It looks like someone is maintaining an unofficial LineageOS fork here. There doesn’t seem to be a lot out there, unfortunately. DivestOS being discontinued was quite a big blow to some of these older devices.

On the bright side, your pile of shame is now so big that you can live in it and avoid buying a house!

Thankfully I have so many games on my Switch that I am yet to finish or even start that I have absolutely zero desire to buy a Switch 2 and deal with this problem. Never been so grateful for my pile of shame lol

We didn’t buy most games when I was a kid, we rented them.

Many people still rent games, for even cheaper then they did back then. Xbox Gane Pass and similar services are popular for a reason.

You fanboys get so weirdly defensive whenever someone even slightly pushes back at this conspiracy narrative you’re trying to push. Almost as if part of you knows your “evidence” is nowhere near as solid as you pretend.

Ah, so the monobrow photo is after the security cam photos. How interesting that you tried to avoid telling me this the first time around.

Ah yes, the “different nose” which is mostly obscured in the top photos and has a giant red circle covering it in the bottom photo.

The majority of their servers support port forwarding. “Only available on paid tiers” is a completely meaningless crticism, because a) you wouldn’t use a free VPN for torrenting unless you were an absolute moron and b) very few VPNs supporting torrenting in the first place because it requires so many resources. If you want a good VPN with port forwarding, you need to pay for it. Nothing about this makes Proton VPN “fishy”.

As the other person said, the owners of PIA also own several other VPNs and their history prior to this was pretty bad. One of the biggest selling points for PIA, the “no logging tested in court” claim, also occured before these new owners took over so it’s questionable whether that is as believable today. A big part of trust in privacy-related software comes from financial incentives and motivations driven by the business model, and the parent company does not have a good track record in terms of prioritising security and privacy above financial gain.

I believe Private Internet Access also offers this feature if people need a cheaper alternative, although it comes with tradeoffs regarding trust and ethics.

When was the bottom photo taken?

It’s a monarchy really

Yes, this is actually a much more helpful way to think about Trump’s approach to presidency. Here is Dr David Smith from the United States Studies Centre explaining this in a recent episode of PEP (excellent in-depth American politics podcast from Australia).

Yes, Proton VPN is a better option if you require that feature.

Yeah they are all interesting ideas that appeal to some kind of niche, but their inability to support them as a small company undercuts most of that. It is a problem for most manufacturers though, even relatively big ones like Motorola are quite poor when compared to the big three (with regards to software support) of Apple, Samsung and Google.

LineageOS support would definitely make me more interested in the Jelly Max. I have considered it a few times but there’s just no way I could justify the purchase with the doubts I have over its long-term viability.

Same here, it’s part of the reason why I’ve never bothered to own a Sony or Microsoft console. Their first party titles are not radically different to anything I could play on my PC, and often I can actually play them on my PC with significantly better visuals/performance/input. Meanwhile, Nintendo is still puting out first party titles that are quite unique to their systems. It’s actually so good that they’ve become a portable-focused company now because their systems and games have become the perfect accompaniments for PC gamers.

Yeah like the closest Nintendo has got to mentioning specs is just a bigger OLED screen, which is so obvious it could barely be considered a spec drop.

Very true, though I think for many it is still a home console in their head because on the surface it appears like a direct continuation of the Wii U. It’s actually the opposite - a portable console that can optionally be used as a home console with, in some cases, improvements to the visuals when doing so. Some people still see Nintendo as being in direct competition with Sony and Microsoft when they really haven’t been for a long time now.
