I thought getting the Samsung S4 was the better choice at the time. Bigger screen, slimmer, etc. But the M8’s screen was crisper, had stereo speakers, and looked solid. Should have gotten that instead.

Sorry, it runs Winblow$ 95 🤭

Nice. I’m using a dell 7440 latitude with Mint Cinnamon and the track pad is glitchy to say the least.

Not skilled in any of this, but have you looked into a NAS? This might be a place to start since you’re talking about ripping Blu-rays, sharing, etc… I’m sure you can eventually connect the NAS to your desired PC in the future. Someone else might have a better suggestion.

You don’t have to jailbreak an apple device anymore, side loading works?

Clone it in case your SSD dies.

Those are Brillo pads, bro…

You will gain some extra battery time depending on what you’re doing with it. So, the OLED is still better to have.

Im sorry. I meant once you go OLED you don’t go back.

Edit: it’s like eye orgasms.

OLED is worth it.

However, any USB-C charger and cable will charge moderns phones. Wether it be slow or fast, it will charge it. Everyone at home has at least one or two sets. Also, laptops that use a USB-C chargers can accommodate phones as well. We’re going in the right direction.

I think the majority of phone users who are or are not tech savvy mostly care about charging and the fact that they can use just about any USB C cable is where we’re finally moving to. An Android user can stop lugging their charger to an iPhone users house and vice versa (not counting extended stay). It should have been this way from the get go is what I’m saying. The fact that USB-C cables are fragmented when it comes to features is messed up, i agree. Not sure who’s at fault there.

Ok fine. What else besides data transfer and charging did you need back then when memory was expensive and data wasn’t that important to have on phones besides phone numbers and text? USB Mini / USB Micro could easily handle data transfer and charging just fine.

Edit: im fine with using any cable, be it 30 pin, lighting, usb c, etc. etc. As long as everyone uses the same cable. Keep it simple, convenient, and reduce extra waste.

Come on man. The talk has always been about apple not implementing the industry standard charging port on their phones. It goes back to the 30 pin days. They just want to make proprietary items for mad profits and milk it until all sheeps wake up.

Oh right, i forgot Mac’s are primarily used for making phone calls, texts, are kept in pockets when traveling, and USB-C is mainstream now so charging is a breeze, but screw iphones ami’rite?

So what? They didn’t implement the port on the iPhone until recently. When did USB-C come out again? …

Indeed! Definitely avoid the torentino add-on and just pay for all the different subscriptions totalling more than what cable costs these days. You’re welcome.
