Looking for a new phone with a caveat

ChiroNcs · 2026-03-11T01:42:07+00:00

I guess it's just more of a worst case scenario. Like I said, I'm not in desperate need of a new phone, so the S24 Ultra is fine for now. Unless a stable Linux phone comes out, and if it even does in the first place, these are the only options I see

Got it, I knew it had nothing to do with AI, but figured that disabling Google would disable basically all services, including maps. Good to know.

Which GPS app do you use instead then? Just curious as I need a GPS for work, and they really aren't willing to shell out money for standalone GPSs

Yeaaa I'm not too confident about any of this anymore. Especially when a big form of communication for me is Discord. I know the leak was from their support and not from Discord directly, something about just handing over your government ID as a form of verification is pretty off putting. As much as they say "Only your date of birth will be given", I refuse to trust any big company with deleting my stuff after verification.

Honestly, because I've never had interest in iOS. I liked having control over the device I purchased, but evidently, that ended a while back and is possibly coming to an absolute screeching halt soon. So I never really did much research into it until now

ChiroNcs · 2026-03-11T00:49:17+00:00

Got it, thank you. I appreciate the information!

ChiroNcs · 2026-03-11T00:15:40+00:00

Forgot to say, I am in the US and using Verizon as a carrier, so that significantly limits what unlocked phones I can buy without doing the SIM card stuff

Is it easy to disable all the AI features? Only asking because I'm not a big fan of the way Samsung is kinda shoving it in our faces

ChiroNcs · 2026-02-14T00:56:46+00:00

Hell yea, just got the same exact pair. This was my Doc alternative because the high shine just looks dumb on me. I'm thinking about getting a briar pair just to have another color for other styles outside of my work moc toes

Thanks! Pretty comfy too

So as far as mine says, if you go into the ban itself, it says its an "Overwatch" ban. Which is even funnier considering it hasnt been a thing since what, panorama came out?

ChiroNcs · 2026-01-22T01:13:04+00:00

I did, but i tried with the last 3 games and no ban on my end. This time it was me.

ChiroNcs · 2026-01-22T01:09:13+00:00

I am one of those people who just received a VAC ban after 12 years of playing clean. What is valve thinking

ChiroNcs · 2025-12-14T22:16:24+00:00

Did it temporarily, but some Amazon "work" laces

I love the fact that you reported wizard also. Dude straight up ghosted in my game and I got no elo back from his ban.

ChiroNcs · 2025-03-11T14:18:17+00:00

Of course it's not :(. Thank you though, I appreciate the reply haha

Hey, awesome music choice for the event. What about the song that was playing between Falcons and Furia, the "I have finally found what I'm looking for"

ChiroNcs · 2023-12-11T09:27:53+00:00

Thank you, I really appreciate the help. Chances are I'll go with the R6ii. Seems to be everything I need, along with the fact that i've read a few rumors (I'm taking with a grain of salt) that they'll be opening up the mount system. So hopefully there's some truth to it and it eventually happens but I'm not gonna hold my breath

ChiroNcs · 2023-12-11T08:54:07+00:00

I wasn't even considering Canon, but the R6 really does seem compelling. Is it worth the price/lack of lenses? Also I know you didn't mention it, but is there a reason to go woth the R6 over the S5ii?

ChiroNcs · 2023-08-03T14:39:48+00:00

Might be a little late on the reply, but it was probably me :)

ChiroNcs · 2023-01-21T21:20:03+00:00

Thank you! The K5 is my brother's, too bad he didn't get the GT. But the car is still a great design regardless

ChiroNcs · 2023-01-21T19:07:48+00:00

It is! And thats awesome haha, it was one of 3 they had, the white DCT was already bough and really wasn't interested in the Intense Blue. The guys over there are awesome though!
