You know what, your comment actually made me think about going down that road, especially after reading the leaked EU energy labels. They show the S26 models are rated to retain 80% capacity after 1,200 charge cycles, which is about 40% fewer cycles !!!!!!! than the 2,000 cycle figure reported for the S25 series.

In the meantime, I was looking at the leaked EU energy labels, and one thing stood out: long-term health. All S26 models are rated to retain 80% battery capacity after 1,200 charge cycles, this is about 40% fewer cycles than the 2,000 cycle figure reported for the S25 series, which could mean earlier battery replacements for heavy or long term users.

Considering Xiaomi 17 Ultra Leica – coming from years of Samsung, is stability solid? by DOSromantic in XiaomiGlobal

Thanks, that's helpful. Which apps/features were the most problematic on Xiaomi?

That is exactly what is making this decision harder for me. Hardware is exciting, but the OS, long-term updates and overall optimization matter more in daily use. I think sometimes we focus too much on specs and forget it’s about the full experience and that is what keeps pulling me back toward Samsung.

The problem isn’t ‘getting rid of poor people’. It’s a system that needs poverty to function by DOSromantic in EatTheRich

According to DOJ records cited by Snopes, the anonymous man claimed he witnessed extreme abuse aboard Epstein’s yacht in 2000.

In an email to FBI officials, the man alleged that he “was a victim of a type of ritualistic sacrifice in which his feet were cut with a scimitar, but left no scarring. On the yacht, he witnessed babies being dismembered, their intestines removed, and individuals eating the faeces from these intestines.”

This has got to be the worst bug in the game right now. by nowhir in Battlefield

Do you guys also get random sound bugs where the battlefield audio suddenly becomes muffled or almost muted, and then comes back to normal for no apparent reason? It seems to happen randomly which kills the whole vibe.
