It is hit or miss with app updates, I don’t mess with bank stuff breaking randomly


Why apps force to use locked-down Android with spyware ?
1. No Root 2. No Bootlocker unlock 3. No Custom ROM 4. Needs Google Play Service 5. Needs to be installed via Google PLay Store 6. Needs my phone number 7. Needs that SIM in that phone 8. Needs that SIM in that slot 9. Needs location 10. Works only via Mobile Data 11. Developer options disabled 12. Needs someother app to be uninstalled 13. Disable VPN (Firewall apps use that) So for bank stuff to need a seperate phone, other for whatsapp (and other spyware) and then your main thing. And when you go out people ask questions. I don't understand my apps are developed with their security dependent of the OS, why can't they make secure apps

Got a new monitor and I got some quesitions.
1. There is no difference between HD and 4K video - VP9 Youtube - Only 1 place I can see is this video with cactus needles (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WEwgbKr5R9I) 2. Windows isn't showing it as HDR supported. 3. Monitor is factory caliberated but Windows Display Caliberation's seems to say it's not. 4. I need to zoom most websites to 110%. Earlier I used 90%. 5. I used to use my 200Nits Moinotr on 20% and one New monitor of 350NITS I am using 100%. 6. I was expecting "frameless" design but it got a chin and 1 cm bezel on 3 sides. I am using 27" 4K HDR10 8+2 Bit. Earlier I was using 24" VA

[Opinion] Fast SoC makes Phones slow.
I remeber **Moto E 1st Gen** with Snapdragon 200, 1GB RAM ,4 GB (2.1 GB usable) Storage. I have played games on it in 2017 it was some COD AW clone. I could install alot of Apps on just 2.1GB storage. No hang and good multi tasking on 1GB RAM. Again I got a SD 625 + 4GB RAM and it is awesome. I remeber thinking 4GB in phone will be max forever as 8GB in PC/Laptop was good enough for gaming and 16GB in PC for browsing ain't enough. Now in 2026 6GB in Android is considered low-end and Apps crash. Again I got a Snapdragon 7s Gen 2 + 8GB RAM. Devs please stop making apps big, CPU/RAM heavy. Apps like Facebook/Instagram should be shamed they are 1GB each. Android OS has no limit on cache. Android OS has no native user-frienly option to control which apps can run in background. Phone/SoC reviews are a scam, they say SD 363 is 50% better than SD 625. I don't think it is a very big leak from SD625 to 7s Gen 2. Reviewers are stuck in 2013, "casual games run OK and COD runs at 60 FPS", it always did for every phone! I think I am going to boycott high tier phones.
