Yes, but at much higher cost.

attack

They just pull out of those states. How is that an attack?

Good idea.

You can still get the newest DD-WRT builds even on the WRT54G.
That is a Wi-Fi router from 2002.

Of course, the features are sort of limited. I tried the VPN build (on WRT54GL), but I couldn’t get the OpenVPN client to connect. I found some thread mentioning it may be missing something, but I don’t know if that’s the issue.

Anyway, without overclocking I’d expect like 2Mbps. I mean, it barely handles HTTPS. Just trying to load the WebUI maxes out the CPU for several seconds if trying to use HTTPS.
Perhaps it’s not missing anything software-wise, but it’s just so slow it times out during handshake.
So I just put the std build on it in case it will be useful at some point.

What do you use ADB for?

Since adb backup has been deprecated, I don’t see much use for it. Only for recent Android versions which disallow installation of apps targeting low API, as that can be bypassed using ADB.
Or maybe for apps like scrcpy.

Oh, stuff in Android folder?

That’s been restricted since I think Android 11.
You can still access it using a computer with MTP.

Though there may be some better solution I don’t know of.

You mean directories starting with a .?

Depends on the file manager, nothing to do with Android. Which file manager do you use?

P   E
r   l
o   i
j   x
e   i
c   r
t   

I hope.

The last selling point of a Pixel was the quick updates and long update life

And I thought it was the ability to re-lock bootloader with a custom key which is why Graphene OS is only developed for Pixels.

So, it seems it gets triggered by just using ADB shell???

I turned off both sounds and vibrations for notifications and calls. The important stuff gets sent to my MiBand, so I still know about it, and right away know what it is.

I had some app that I don’t remember, and with some certain update its permanent notification got somehow fucked and it was sending notifications every second.

Nokia should have kept it going (referring to N900).

One example is JointPics, a really great app that doesn’t seem to have any replacement. It’s made for joining multiple pictures together, with all the proper scaling options, resolution limiting and output quality settings.

It still works just fine. It does have a border as it’s not made for phones with aspect ratio wider than 16:9, but that doesn’t limit its use.

Oh, and Android is also used on some embedded devices which may need to use outdated software. Thankfully it can still be installed via adb, so it shouldn’t be a big deal. At least until Android drops 32 bit app support.

Same thing this post is about but with Android 5.1 apps.

What’s next?
So far this is how I view all the updates done:
Last good version of Android: 7
Last acceptable version of Android: 13

Linux mobile distributions are probably not yet fully usable and I don’t see another alternative. Perhaps it will get better than Android and iOS just due to them getting worse. I wish Nokia kept it going with phones like N900.

This will really, REALLY depend on each device and manufacturer.
I have Poco X3 Pro. It also has 120Hz so almost everything seems fast, but there’s some components that just seem to run at lower frame rate. For example per-app dark mode settings menu. And it’s also really buggy. But that’s expected from MIUI.

I’ve had Moto G5s Plus (2017) that was extremely laggy on Android 8.1. Then I put PixelExperience 11 (Android 11) on it and it was mostly smooth. Some manufacturers are just shitty with optimizations.

Take out the battery.

Oh…

If I can find it when it’s “off”, who else can?

And you can’t charge/use OTG at once. Also if you plug in earphones 4 times a day and OTG/Charging cable or whatever say 5 times a day, splitting the wear between 2 connectors, you’d now be plugging and unplugging the USB port 9 times a day instead. So it also reduces lifespan of USB port.

Also, I don’t need to carry a stupid dongle with me. And also, those phones don’t have FM radio.
Lastly, it’s generally used as a push towards more expensive Bluetooth earphones, so that you’re likely to shell out even more money, and I hate that. Same with removable batteries, but I don’t get choice now.
