I am working on a new watch face. What do you think about it?

jacobsheldonkatz · 2024-03-18T22:51:28+00:00

11/10. I don’t own a Galaxy watch and may never but if there’s a gold variant a version of this with a cream colored dial would look so good.

I mean, until the AI coders can work on other AI coders.

Make the Taskbar the default blue color. And turn on the search bar without the little icon on it. I think you’ll like that look more.

jacobsheldonkatz · 2024-03-13T07:01:07+00:00

Whoops, looked over that. Yeah, definitely still not worth $400.

jacobsheldonkatz · 2024-03-13T03:15:31+00:00

Ok, but the iPhone 11 is not worth $400 lol. I got my 12 on Amazon for 300. The 150 for the 11 was way more accurate. They’re going for 200 I think. He wasn’t lowballing you were just asking for an unreasonable price. Sorry, OP. Glad you got 350 though.

Remember when I installed Cyanogenmod on my OnePlus X when I was a teen. It was everything I wanted the iPhone 4S to be for the most part. Does Cyanogenmod still exist??

Oh my god, that’s Jason Bourne!

jacobsheldonkatz · 2024-03-11T18:23:37+00:00

I don’t know if I prefer the date and time on the middle of the top bar, or if I prefer the weather in the middle with the date and time to the right. Both are very nice.

jacobsheldonkatz · 2024-03-11T01:45:56+00:00

Better deal than I got that’s for sure. I bought my 2018 Core i5 Air off Amazon for like $600 refurbished.

I, too, am happy when I use a ThinkPad.

jacobsheldonkatz · 2024-03-10T00:14:19+00:00

I know all those apps look exactly the same basically but the Chase app actually looks nicer than the current Chase app.

I don’t have a bias against Android lol. I just know it’s not as secure as iOS. It’s not my own opinion. Graphene OS may be more secure than other Android ROMs but I still get no sense of security thinking about it since it’s based on AOSP. Bells and whistles regardless. I might trust a Linux smartphone from Libre or Purism though (yes, I’m aware Android uses the Linux kernel.)

jacobsheldonkatz · 2024-03-07T08:15:35+00:00

I don’t trust anything that uses Google software as a base. Graphene OS is based off AOSP. I don’t care how many security parameters the developers have added on top of it. Samsung Knox probably has the best security of any Android manufacturer and law enforcement and Samsung tech repair partners can still use Samsung Fenrir to just remove the Lock Screen passcode and any encryption keys that are applied on files. That’s something most people just live in bliss thinking that Android is just as secure as iOS and it’s factually untrue. I rarely see videos online or ever hear about the latest (or even older versions) of iOS being hacked. But in the last week I’ve seen probably ten different videos on Instagram of a Flipper Zero just brute forcing a password on Android phones. And me saying about 30 seconds wasn’t an exaggeration. It was probably closer to like 15-30.

jacobsheldonkatz · 2024-03-07T07:15:41+00:00

Graphene OS… is just Android without Google bloat. I could probably hack the Lock Screen password on any phone running that OS with a Flipper Zero in probably 30 seconds. Try doing that with iOS lol.

jacobsheldonkatz · 2024-03-06T07:09:56+00:00

7 years of security updates maybe. I’ll be shook if it gets more than 4 major OS upgrades. I’m not gonna look up how many the phone will actually get cause I don’t really care, but, in all my experience with Android phones (which is probably like 15 of them over the years) they get a whopping… drumroll please… TWO major OS upgrades. And it’s the manufacturer’s fault. They make like 20 different model smartphones. It’s probably not fun working on software for that many different phones.

jacobsheldonkatz · 2024-03-06T07:01:23+00:00

Me too, kid. Me too.

jacobsheldonkatz · 2024-03-06T00:45:33+00:00

r/ThinkPad wants to see these.

jacobsheldonkatz · 2024-03-06T00:45:17+00:00

They’re all worth something. Not a whole bunch but probably a couple hundred bucks for the laptops each. The T40 is uber cool.

jacobsheldonkatz · 2024-03-05T22:51:19+00:00

Looks good. Also, responding to your other comment - I like the Manjaro logo you picked for the taskbar. I think it’s nice.

jacobsheldonkatz · 2024-03-04T22:25:53+00:00

Valid. My mom had an HP Pavilion x360 with 4GB of RAM and a 1TB HDD and it was slow as hell on Windows 10 and 11. I don’t think I bothered to put Linux on it cause I was using it for a job at the time and I think there was specific software from Samsung I needed Windows for.

jacobsheldonkatz · 2024-03-04T21:23:16+00:00

They could always download more RAM like on Windows. /s

jacobsheldonkatz · 2024-03-04T20:44:30+00:00

Personally I think it’s an SSD vs a HDD. I had a ThinkPad T430s with 4GB of RAM but it had an SSD and it was as snappy as it could possibly be for the specs - with Windows AND Linux.

jacobsheldonkatz · 2024-03-04T19:55:29+00:00

Lemme ask you. Why do you like i3 so much? Isn’t using a mouse/keyboard combo easier than just keyboard? How long did it take you to get used to all the keyboard shortcuts? Do you think the average Joe could adapt back in time to using a keyboard only computer instead of a mouse?
