I initially considered that, but in the end I just bit the bullet and got one 2 weeks ago.
My thought is with the current trend of PC hardware prices, I didn't want to wait to see how it affects phone prices.
At the same time, I do not know if the collaborative phone between GOS and the manufacturer will be something I like. The current Pixel 10 phone is already bigger than what I ultimately prefer and I think it's more probable the new phone will be phablet sized.
Very interesting. I was cpnsidering using separate profiles, but I read somewhere that google services is sandboxed anyway, so having it all in 1 profile is fine.
What I will need a separate profile for though, is for banking apps. I have one which is adament that I use a keyboard app from the play store and will refuse to function if I have one from F-droid installed.
Congrats. I too also moved to GOS a little over a week ago. Found out a few of the apps fromy old phone no longer work as intended and I'm now discovering the security restrictions of Android 13 is making syncing of files in the Android/data folder very difficult.
I do not have first hand experience, but have been told that while Bazzite is excellent for gaming, the immutable nature of complicates matters when it comes to software development, dev tools and stuff of that nature.
I think early generation CRTs had mercury and lead in them, which made them not enviromentally friendly. Not too sure if there are any modern materials which can replace the hazardous ones.
I remember back in the day when i was muckimg around with my HTC Desire Z, there were loada of custom ROMs out there and I don't think there were device blobs back then? If that could be done back in the day, it should still be do-able now? Unless Android has become so much more complicated now that it is a very big task?
It would be great if there were more options for phone sizes. Not everyone wants a device they needs ro use both hands just to type message or even the most basic task of reaching the top of the screen without adjusting the grip.
Most of the options listed are easy to use. The difficult part is getting enough users to adopt the new system initially to motivate the rest to migrate as well.
One of the many upgrades which i think makes the most improvent / quality of life upgrade is the Z level probe. Either a BL touch or a CR touch will work. It helped me tram the bed as well as built a mesh of the bed.
"Professional firmware" is also a good upgrade. Lots of improvements over the stock Creality firmware.
Once you have been printing with it for some time and feel like tinkering a bit more, "Belted Z" mod for the Ender 3 v2 is another upgrade I did which was really great. It replaces 1 lead screw for 2 belts on each end of the X gantry to prevent sagging.
I also recently upgraded from the stock ender glass beds and replaced it with PEI sheets. I get the choice of either textured or smooth beds and the prints pop right off. No need to wait for it to cool down or having to pop it in the freezer. LOL
