To LG’s credit, if you have the correct version of phones, they did support and update them as per their schedule. My Korean version LG Wing is now on the last version it’ll ever get, Android 13. That was I think 2023.
Now if anything happens to my Wing, I guess it’ll be a relic and e-waste.
Such a shame that LG decided to exit the smartphone market all those years ago.
What I wish is more viable is the Huawei Pura SomeNumbers. It’s passport sized when closed, with a usable portrait-ish small outer screen to fit besides two cameras. Opens like a book into a landscape orientation, to a 16:10 ratio screen. A dream device.
Too bad it’s locked in China. Technically.
Xiaomi and Poco phones are champions of bang for buck most of the time. But always at the cost of whatever data collection and ads.
It’s made worse that Xiaomi have been clamping down on unlocking the bootloader with more and more hoops.
Agreed. At least there are efforts to salvage it.
I use Thunder on Android for my lemmy.zip account.
Interstellar for my kbin.earth and fedia.io accounts.
Trying out piefed with piefed.social because of their Topics and custom feeds. No “release ready” mobile apps yet, but IIRC either Interstellar or Thunder is trying out supporting piefed.
I think I’m going to like piefed for the custom feeds. That’s my most missed function from reddit, the multireddits. Their default Topics works well enough, but I have my opinions on it, and piefed allow I can set my own.
I don’t really use other fedithings. I’m like the normies, I want some kind of algo-feeding for microblogging and whatever instagram is categorised as, except for the threadiverse/reddit-like.
From the description:
Obviously it would be better than free VPN services. But I’m wondering how it would stack with my current set up. I already paid for NextDNS and PIA. Usually I don’t run PIA unless I want to access spicy stuff. And 99.999% my NextDNS stuff works fine.
I’d love to pay less but I also want to know what I’m trading for it
