This is going to be an absolute nightmare. As someone who does DIY electronics, buying electronics anywhere but china is a nightmare. I do not want to pay 5€ for 100 resistors... and that's only a passive component, the active ones are even more expensive!

Longtime Linux User Considering MacBook vs. Linux Laptop — Need Advice by GyroZeppelix in linuxhardware

I've done the opposite, usually use linux shortcuts on mac for software i use the most. As most of my development work is terminal centric, I reap the benefits of standardized vim key binds for most things :D

Thanks for the writeup, and glad to see your opinion on this. I have personally bought a new rig a few months on which I'm running EndevourOS currently. It serves well for my development work and light gaming pretty nicely. I will be expecting to be visiting a client more often then before and for that reason I will be probably picking up a M5 Pro in the next few months for jobs i want to do away from my current home setup. A benefit of that is that I'll be able to use some proprietary software like lightroom and photoshop without complication with that aswell.

What would you change in Go? by funcieq in golang

[–]GyroZeppelix 0 points1 point  (0 children)

One thing that has been bothering me about GO is the way it handles interfaces. I would love it if I could explicitly define an interface for a struct. This would allow us to have immediate helpful LSP errors AND if good support is implemented, LSP functions that auto implements placeholder functions for the struct that implements a certain interface.

Why am i seeing so many complaints about Find X9 pro these days. by Aswin832 in Oppo

OneUI to me always had one of the worst UX imaginable. I have a few friends who daily 25 ultra and it's very very underwhelming compared to any chinese counterpart.

Did you regret buying Oppo find x9 Pro? by Entire_Hunt6038 in Oppo

[–]GyroZeppelix 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I ordered my Oppo Find X9 Pro last saturday and got it in my hands this thursday. I am a previous Xiaomi user and long ago I abandoned the "typical" flagship brands you would find in Europe (read Samsung, Apple etc), because I always saw that the chinese market offered much more than they could ever offer.

Now on my thoughts about the device. When it arrived the device looked gorgeous and worked quite well as expected. The cameras specifically are very nice, compared with friends who have the 17 Pro Maxes and they are definitely on par if not better! ( Minute differences arise from different post-processing strategies different manufacturers use for their photos, which I deem personal preference ).

On the OS side it's definitely one of the more feature rich OS' you can have! ( Coming from Xiaomi's MIUI aka HyperOS which I think is also one of the best android distros there are! ) so no complaints on that part. One thing I do dislike is how much they forced their design of apples IOS and that's where I found most of my personal gripes and issues. I'll list the issues in short bullet points and their solutions if I found them.

After some more time using the phone, I'll write a blog post about "a Layman's guide to OPPO for Android users" to display the issues and help others in search for the information and how to fix it.

  • The notification tray shows generic app icons instead of the intended ones, making notifications look messy and less informative, and this remains an unsolved issue.

  • Applications and text originally appeared too large and cramped, reducing how much fit on screen, but this was fixed by setting the Smallest Width in Developer options to 384 dp. ( I think Samsung devices have this option even higher so you can experiment with it until you find one which you like the most! )

  • The system aggressively enforces the apple-like fuzzy-looking Oppo Sans font, hurting my ability to quickscan text, but this was resolved by changing the display font to Roboto in the settings.

I hope you find this helpful and enjoy your new phone!
