I bought a second-hand xperia 5 III last week. Edit: Flashed lineageos and a magisk module to use the stock camera.

The naming scheme is confusing, the first number is the price range, where 1 is the most expensive, 5 the sweet spot, 10 the "budget" model, then the second number is the generation, I < II < III < IV < V < VI.

Recently I found out about sony xperias.

  • Decent price second hand
  • decent specs, snapdragon CPU
  • Unlockable bootloader
  • Very good camera, not bricked by unlocking the bootloader
  • LineageOS support on some models
  • Headphone jack
  • Double SIM + eSIM
  • micro SD card
  • Large battery
  • Easy to repair

For smartphones I think a significant driver of their ever-increasing sizes is that battery technology is lagging behind power demand. The worst thing of having a small phone these days is that the battery lasts less than a day. Big screens used to be too power hungry to be practical but LEDs are extremely efficient these days.

My prediction is that we'll return to the miniaturization craze of the 1990s whenever the next breakthrough in battery technology happens.

nerd excuse me the embargo has an exception for food and medicine

It's really easy you see, you just need to pass an inspection and get a written permission from the President of the US, the payment must be made in cash in US dollars before shipment and through some non-American bank, and the shipping company must go straight from a US port to a Cuban port and back with no layovers.

This is not a joke, it's what is actually written in the law.

I like it because it's designed. It think it's the only DE with actual designers continuously working on it. It has few options and doesn't feel hacked together.

:dean-smile: I like the piracy comm and most of the db0 users I see coming here; they don't deserve being thrown into the .world pit.

Once upon a time if you pressed F1 on the desktop a full manual showed up that started with "how to use a mouse" and ended with registry hacks. It was contextual so if you were in the calculator it showed information about the calculator.

Today if you press F1 it opens Microsoft™ Edge™ with a Microsoft™ Bing™ search for how to get help with windows. The results include some shitty youtube videos that somebody uploaded with that exact phrase.
