just recently (2 months ago), I bought a Moto G84 5G, specifically because it had a snapdragon processor (and therefore good custom ROM support), is officially supported by LineageOS and it was cheap (160 EUR). I never needed a flagship phone, the cheap phones ~200 EUR always worked fine for me.
I was using Xiaomi/Redmi/Poco devices before that, but it seems that they have gone entirely Mediatek in that price segment, which is a shame.
As someone who uses nextcloud exclusively for calDAV and cardDAV, what replacements are recommended?
My workflow is:
-Musicbrainz Picard to get all the information from an online database
-clean up the tags with kid3 (Linux), rename files and folders
-use mp3gain to “normalize” all songs to the same level, so I don’t have to constantly adjust the volume.
office package doesnt just come with windows any more
strictly speaking, it never was part of windows, or came bundled with it from Microsoft. Our first family windows computer (Win 98) didn’t come with an office license, instead the manufacturer included only “Word” and “Works” as a “value add”. It was a separate piece of software that we could install (or not if we chose to).
Up to including windows 7, every single computer any of my friends and family purchased came only with a windows license, If they wanted MS Office, they had to buy the license separately and install the software package themselves. Sometimes it might have come preinstalled as a trial, but that still required purchasing a license after a set amount of time (usually 90 days, I believe), and it varied from OEM to OEM, as did their other bloatware (Norton, Eset, etc.).
I have only noticed Windows installing office out of the box with Windows 10/11, where they install the app from the MS store during the initial setup - I assume they started this on Windows 8 as well, but I have only seen PCs being upgraded from 7 to 8/8.1, never a fresh install.
But even then, it’s just a limited trial for their office 365 suite.
Not frequent, but I do go back
Wait, we are supossed to change hobbies? I just pick up new ones.
One of my hobbies is picking up hobbies.
There was a dog, after all…

It is 26 years old. That is a quarter of a century. Just like a 1975 song was called an “oldie” in 2000, it’s fair to call this an oldie now.
Edit: “What’s my age again” is closer to ABBA’s “Waterloo” than it is to today.
This looks like Voyager but it might be an instance setting.
Edit: it is an experimental setting in voyager.
From a technical standpoint, the windows NTFS filesystem is designed inherently case sensitive, just windows doesn’t allow creating case sensitive files.
Connecting an NTFS drive to linux, you can create two separate files readme.txt and Readme.txt.
Using windows, you can see both files in the filesystem, but chances are most (if not all) software will struggle accessing both files, opening readme.txt might instead open Readme.txt or vice versa.
I remember when you could edit files in an editor to make the UI whatever you want. Add your bookmarks menu the the context menu, add a “save session” button to your toolbar.
It was truly customizable.
I don’t have any anecdotes, really. On all my cheap devices, I never really had any issues with apps getting killed by battery management. I know that sometimes, you’ll have to specifically switch off battery management for these specific apps, which can usually be done with a single action that the app generally let’s you access directly on first setup.
But I’ve always used stock android or at least AOSP based Roms - I’ve never stuck with OEM Roms longer than the (usually) first 7 days they keep you from unlocking the bootloader. Once I can unlock the bootloader, the OEM Rom is gone.
I do know that some OEMs have their own battery management implemented on top of androids, which is often more aggressive, and a bit more convoluted to access.
