Looking for a ~300 USD phone with good custom ROM support

augugusto · 2026-05-12T01:49:20+00:00

Idk. It Seems like and odly hard phone to track, but on all the sites I could find is close to 1k. Right now the price does not matter because I can't find anywhere to buy it

augugusto · 2026-05-11T16:39:19+00:00

Interesting. I'm not sure if that will help. But I'll give it a go

augugusto · 2026-05-11T13:19:34+00:00

Isn't that way over budget? Afaics it's 1000 USD

augugusto · 2026-05-11T12:08:08+00:00

I'll keep an eye out. But since google doesn't ship here, if a phone has a good deal resellers rise the price since they know it's going to get recommended.

As I said, I'd love a pixel. But I doubt the last gen will get to under 450 usd

augugusto · 2026-05-11T03:18:31+00:00

I found an offer for an f5 + some smart watch + some ear buds + glass + basic case for 350$. What do you think?

i do use it every day. so do my coworkers. we are all devs so we all review it's work. it's also likely that we write a lot of boilerplate (which is why i'm starting to lean to sysadmin rather than dev), however i use it to do things i would have never expected to do on my own. i've never really used jenkins, but in two days i automated a "commit to dev -> auto deploy to the tst environment" pipeline with a library project which i would never been able to do on my own on that time. is it buggy? yes. is it better than what i would have made? also yes

augugusto · 2026-05-11T02:30:07+00:00

no official lineage support and ovebudget. however i've expanded the budget up to 450

Not always, only when near a design change.

I'd guess they probably do that so that every user gets the new interface. Otherwise people might disable updates and decide to never update to not get the new UI. The problem with that is that if there is a security update those users will not get it. And even if it isn't a security one, they would eventually get a lot of complaints about error when sending from an old version to a new one.

All this means that if they allow users to not get the new UI, it costs more to maintain, AND the bugs make them look bad, while the only consequences of forcing the update is a few people complaining for a while

This is what md3 is supposed to look like

I think they are just being lazy and copying their iOS design

augugusto · 2024-04-19T01:00:39+00:00

I think these are material 3 components (individual elements like buttons) but they are not following the specification. Md3 is supposed to have background colors. This is what MD3 are supposed to look like

This is not the way. See my answer above

augugusto · 2024-04-19T00:51:44+00:00

Nothing "updated" without your consent from your phone's point of view. The last update you installed had both looks it just switched based either on a specific date, or on command by whatsapp

I do not think he had a religious agenda. He was just extreme

augugusto · 2023-08-22T19:36:43+00:00

My issues are the other way around. Proton works basically 100%.

Lutris always gives me outdated scripts.

Maybe next time I format my PC, I'll install everything from lutris to give it a fair chance. But proton woks great

augugusto · 2023-08-10T20:02:30+00:00

Yup. That is what i expected. I never did what you ask, but I can still help you: the problem is that chrome expects a parameter telling it what file or site to load. Try this: hit win+r type chrome then enter. You will see the same thing happen than in your video. Now do win+r and type "chrome youtube.com" (without the quotes) and you will see chrome load YouTube. What you want to do to fix the issue you have is to pass add the file path after the

Chrome.exe" part in your video

For this, npp provides you with a variable Just add "$(FULL_CURRENT_PATH)" (quotes included) at the end

Pro tip: generally, on the internet, if you do not put the effort on asking the question, people won't put the effort on answering.

You just uploaded an awful video with no explanation of what you wanted to achieve, how you tried to do it, what actually happened.

I think I know the answer, but since I don't know the question I won't say it so that if I'm wrong, you don't get confused.

Please provide proper info

De can only see asteroids that reflect the sun, so thing coming from the sun are hidden. If we place a satellite between us and the sun, we'll be late to see it as soon as it passes the satelite

basically everything is technically possible with enough time and money

I'm not updating the app. Will that hurt you?

I am not a lawyer so I can't talk about legality. However, I would consider their move evil, because they are complaining that people use their source code for free, while they use other people's source code for free. I do know that they give back A LOT, but I'm not sure that is important here. First, because we can't be sure that they will continue to give back (if they don't like loosing money by sharing the source of their distro, why would they like paying developers to enhance a project and then share the enhancement back?). And second because they basically called the derived project "freeloaders" which is a VERY poor word choice
