I quite enjoyed reading their in-depth tech coverage. Especially, in the early days when theyvcovered smartphones. There won’t be a 2nd anandtech in history for a long time to come.

They should release their articles as a torrent to conserve the long history of anandtech.

You know we had to :}

Do you know anything about financial markets?

I’m at a beginner level in Investments and stock market.

Study and you’ll understand everything you could do with it.

I’m already learning about Investments and stock market. Maybe, once I finish that I could consider this. But, I don’t see much value in crypto so won’t bother.

Perhaps, if my perception changes in the future I could reconsider. Just not in the near future.

I never understood the crypto hype. There was even an article by protonmail detailing its history and all. Yet, I remain oblivious.

Sure: https://adguard.com/en/blog/adguard-parental-control.html

That would be a liability, and they would go after the parent company crying foul play.

Yeah, something like Adguard family DNS protection or any other family protection DNS service exist which works at the device level or even the network level and is simple to setup on smartphones and latops/computers or even the router.

YouTube won’t even load comments saying restricted mode if I browse through Adguard family protection DNS server.

Permanent notifications are not a thing since android 14. Every notification can be removed.

Stupidity at its finest. The whole point of cheap 3rd party apple accessories is to use workarounds to get past apple DRMs and use them without paying the apple tax.

Blame apple foremost for creating such a market in the 1st place. You don’t need such workarounds in other phones because they just work.

Your phone needs to be connected to WiFi or data(depending on your settings) and needs to be idle and charging. Playstore will slowly auto update your apps as long as your phone is not too hot for auto-updates. This process takes a long time.

Fuck advon.

That’s Google’s version of android. Most OEMs still have the single tap internet toggle.

It depends on the app in question and how powerful your smartphone is. On flagship smartphones and well optimised apps there’s zero lag. On midrange smartphones and lower you may notice that on some heavy apps.

So, you should be fine as long as you get a current generation upper midrange or flagship smartphone.

What add-ons in particular made you make the change?

Maybe your install is bugged. Try clearing the cache and a app restart if that doesn’t fix the issue. Uninstall and reinstall firefox (backup your data 1st before).

Firefox has and is buggy on android. You may need to occasionally restart it once a while. It will continue to be improved. But, that may take time. Like the increased extensions which took years after the rewrite.

Turn off all related functions for photos in the Google photos app and delete any backed up pictures. Finally, disable/uninstall the Google photos app from your phone.

Does keepassDX or keepassdroid work for you?

I’m getting the same results as this person. Not the weird ones like the original post

It takes a while for adaptive battery to kick (weeks). Especially, when you newly setup an android device. Same with adaptive brightness. Mine drains fast in active heavy use on 5G with motion smoothness set to high. I also have a dual sim model where one can be pulling the lowest signal strength from tower which can also affect battery drain.

Ah, what was that? I’m currently using one oneui 5. Compared to xioami, the software is more stable and doesn’t have stupid restrictions like not allowing access to running services or frequently killing background apps and services.
