I don’t think anyone who can install a Rom, or is willing to read a bit of documentation, should buy this.
If your choice is this, or buying some stock Android Phone and using it as is, this might be OK, but you’re not getting anything special.
My last phone had 12, my current one has 8. Fine for multitasking. I really dunno what I’d want an LLM on my phone for.
My last phone lasted 5 years till the display broke. Had to switch the battery once, but nothing else gave out. My current one gets 8 years of updates, and I plan on using it till then, as long as nothing unexpected happens.
No? Kinda? I’d say a Pixel (so Google hardware, yeah) with Graphene, and either self-hosted, or independent end-to-end encrypted cloud storage.
There are alternatives to the tech conglomerates.
There’s quite a few TP-Link Models that can be flashed with open source firmware. The ones I helped friends and family with seemed to get software updates consistently after being discontinued.
This isn’t an all out endorsement, but I’ve certainly seen worse.
What did you do with the school bus?
Rather annoying. You would think that it shouldn’t make a difference whether or not a mounted drive is present in the machine. I run everything I host in containers on a single machine, so I can’t say whether I’d have encountered such issues.
Jellyfin supports audio books too, but I feel that audiobookshelf gives a much neater experience.
Different use case. Look at this.
I signed up on a smaller instance, and it took them like two weeks to confirm my account. But it does work now.
Holy-C used to be called C+, I think.
There’s also qobuz. They have a streaming service, but you can also straight up buy a lot of albums and download them drm free.
