Are android custom ROMs worth it anymore?
  • whom I talk to and what websites I visit, maybe every single keystroke if the keyboard does weird things for machine learning or backing up word lists in the cloud...

    None of this has anything to do with custom ROMs vs stock Android. These are all problems at the application and settings level and can be solved without changing the operating system.

  • Are android custom ROMs worth it anymore?
  • Most of those are extremely simple. I don't get why people shit their pants when they see the words "command line". You are following basic instructions and copy/pasting text; you would need to be illiterate or braindead to get tripped up by it.

  • Are android custom ROMs worth it anymore?
  • I would probably hold off on buying a phone specifically for the purposes of installing a custom ROM on it, but existing users are fine for now. If you have an older phone that is no longer receiving updates then it is still worth seeing what's out there. Custom ROM installation is generally extremely simple and quick these days so there is little in the way of risk or time commitment.

  • Could this be the death of Australia's nightmarish welfare system?
  • What I recall being ridiculous was the wait on Centrelink applications. (It’s been a number of years since being off Centrelink so don’t haven’t paid attention recently)

    Waiting 3 months was an option for me, but Christ, I can’t imagine how shit that must be who need immediate stability.

    It is much faster now. The wait times are down, but the actual claim process has also been streamlined. They've been instructed to wave more stuff through to keep the system moving and perform less checks on information that is likely to be correct anyway. For example, where you might have needed to provide bank statements previously to prove your updated account figures were accurate, now they just take your word that the information you've provided is correct.

  • The Switch 2 gives Splatoon 3 a fantastically fresh coat of paint
  • I was also on the fence for a long time because I detest console shooters as a result of playing a lot of PC shooters (inability to aim as consistently or as quickly just feels terrible to me), but at the same time, the novelty of a Nintendo-developed PvP shooter always interested me. In the end I couldn't make a decision myself so I put it on my Christmas/birthday list and a family member bought it for me. I'm glad I tried it, although I don't like it enough to play regularly.

  • Motorola Razr 2025/Razr 60 review
  • The earlier flips were even better in this respect because the outer screen was so small it basically only functioned as a clock and notification panel. It's kind of a shame that style hasn't been retained by at least one manufacturer.

  • ‘Star Wars’ Boss Says It’s ‘Remarkable’ the ‘First Print’ of George Lucas’ 1977 Original Was Found and Screened After Decades; Discovery Called a ‘Miracle’
  • Kennedy went on to say that anyone who comes into the Lucasfilm fold to create a new “Star Wars” project is shown Lucas’ 1977 movie because it’s “the gold standard” of storytelling.

    "Watch this, it's the gold standard of storytelling. Now make the complete opposite lol"

  • Google’s latest AOSP move spells doom for custom ROMs on Pixel phones
  • I doubt that, to be honest. People will look for any excuse to avoid spending more on the basis of ethics. The usual one with Fairphone is "well they removed the headphone jack so therefore the entire operation is clearly an advanced greenwashing scheme".

    Not to mention the very legitimate excuse that Fairphone is still yet to support many countries outside of Europe. It is too big a risk for many when every generation to date has experienced isolated technical issues that require direct support from Fairphone to resolve.

  • Google’s latest AOSP move spells doom for custom ROMs on Pixel phones
  • There are none on the level of Fairphone. Sony has seen fairly consistent support for its devices over the years and has retained features like the headphone jack and SD card slot, so may be a decent alternative to look into.
