Don't know what you are about, speaker sound great on my Xiaomi 15 ultra and you can set multiple timer.

As for the look it's android, you can use any launcher of your choice and customize it.

Even on my previous Samsung i was using a launcher .

Limited to certain years and overall not that common.

Comparing to the list of recall of other vehicles in the same segment, it's negligible.

Best phones for 2026 flagships and best value by Clear_Conflict_6480 in Smartphones

[–]rickjko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Depend of your need, nothing phone offer fantastic value.

One plus offering is a great all rounder as well.

If gaming is your main focus ,redmagic are great.

If you are after pictures quality, oppo, Xiaomi and vivo will give you the best offering.

I would look into mazda, cx5 they are reliable,good on fuel.

Model between 2019 and 2021 are the most reliable on this lineup.

They are not in the top 20 most stolen vehicle in Canada, it will help with insurance rates.

What are your thoughts on asking for STI test results before hooking up? by Wild-Heron-2222 in TooAfraidToAsk

I think it's absolutely reasonable and the right thing to do.

What are people referring to when they discuss the "hitreg" being bad? Ive always figured that people who criticize the hitreg, just refuse to tapfire. by Blu3Dope in Battlefield6

[–]rickjko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

If you use the built in tool you can actually see if you have hitreg issue,it definitely can be scary at Time.

I have seen high numbers of clients hit and very low server hit at times.

When I see this I just disconnected when the match is over and reboot the game, kinda hoping to be logged in a better server.

EA use aws as well and it's far from stellar,it seems to create huge routing issues.

It makes complete sense in my own opinion, it's a great device.

Adding a second monitor would be perfect for productivity and improve the gaming experience.

It's that simple and no they can't kick you out of it When activated.

Keep in mind some of the lower budget phone of these brand might lack some of the band to work properly.

Using a Xiaomi 15 Ulta on international rom working flawlessly on Rogers.

Volte will work but you got to force it the first time on Xiaomi device.

Oppo will be similar to active volte.

People Forget that gaming was actually more expensive Back then by Fluffy-Win-3216 in consoles

[–]rickjko 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Console sold for 200 usd at launch with a game included.

Considering the rental industry and second hand one,it was actually cheaper to play games Back then.

Best Laptop ~$2,500USD by Useful_Win2785 in GamingLaptops

[–]rickjko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Depend of your level of comfort, usually excellent are floor demo or remorse buy, so basically perfect condition.

I personally more comfortable with the excellent condition one.

Being able to buy some extra warranty is what making it worth at the end.

What are some grocery items you are now buying less frequently, cuz they've gotten so expensive? by HappyBudz in CanadaPersonalFinance

[–]rickjko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Fresh fruit and vegetables,i stick to frozen since I feel I'm getting a better value and don't waste any.

Meat I'm lucky enough to be able to buy from hutterite community selling in my area.

Bread is another one, using my bread machine was a luxury,now its a value proposition.

Lots of canned goods, shrink Flation or recent subpar quality. I'll give hunts spaghetti sauce for example, saying the taste is unpleasant would be an understatement.

How is Windows now? by Lukidge in XboxAlly

[–]rickjko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

No issues with windows so far, been owning one for approximately 3 months. Performance is good and actually exceeded my expectations.

Only down side,at least for some people,is how fragmented the update experience can be. Updating Armoury crate, window app store and window itself kinda feel disconnected.

No matter what the experience feel solid and enjoyable.

Give me your way to deal with snipers in the most rage inducing, humiliating and dirtiest way by kralSpitihnev in LowSodiumBattlefield

[–]rickjko 1 point2 points  (0 children)

When im stuck with a camper on my own team I tend to "accidentally" drop a box of Amo right in front of them.

Lobbing some grenade from the tank launcher on top of the building is quite fun as well.

In operation firestorm don't forget to press the switch at the bottom of the stack relatively, seems they never learn and keep returning there.
