The cows yearn to be milked.

Accenture is an Irish consultancy firm that did the same.

You could save nearly a couple hundred a year in most instances. LG have a dev account path, android is relatively simple I hear and various foss apps and patching apps will cover most.

Google are undeserving of more money

I cant specifically remember what IGN did to make me avoid it. There was a revoly.on reddit years ago that stuck with me.

They also rank shit games high and are a but boring, but I think maybe there was a lot of ads or something.

Fuck youtube and their shit premium pricing

I buy merch or direct where I can. I generally pirate older stuff or stuff I would not pay for or cannot find anywhere. I got a rip of dogma and I wll buy the4k to encourage a sequel.

They do not want you offline.

I hate that it hangs loading for so lomg before admitting defeat and showing the offline listings.

I disagree that modern headphones have the same naming issues.

They have an unnecessary blast of letters and numbers in comparison to some others. Even though others have long names they are still better because it is somewhat natural in terms of Brand>Product Line> Current Product.

• Sony WF-1000XM5
• Bose QuietComfort Ultra Earbuds (2nd Gen)
• Technics EAH-AZ100
• Sennheiser Momentum True Wireless 4
• Samsung Galaxy Buds 3 Pro
• Google Pixel Buds Pro 2
• Anker Soundcore Liberty 4 NC
• Nothing Ear (a)

Again with the phones, I was actually wrong. Sony used to use the letters to show their range and it was again unreasonable but we all recognised that Z was the flagship. Now they use Xperia as Brand then 1, 5 or 10 to show place in the range and then Roman numerals to show their iteration within the range.

Sony Xperia 1 VII which is spoken as “Sony Xperia One Seven” which creates an issue with current naming conventions to align with years so they appear 8 years behind the Samsung Galaxy S25.

Sony Should be selling the Xperia 25, 25 Pro and 25 Ultra or some variation or play on this. If they want to stand out fair enough but its not like they are.

Yeah I have been top member for over a decade. It is convenient, there are some things pushing me away though.

• The podcast push, autoplaying unremoveable videos on the homescreen.

• The algorithym pushing US style hack shit like what loser group of comedians take on politics is despite I exclusively listening to Australian comic book movie news and British Ukrainian war coverage.

• Worsening UI/UX, poor offline management

• Shorts/Reels

• Removing features, from the running tempo sensor to family mixes.

Do I need an invite for usenet?

My favourite phone was an xperia, they are poorly marketed, overpriced and thebmost recent iterations are sub par in terms of components. It is so disappointing.

Lately? Everything from rollout, branding, naming suuucks with Sony. Consistently. Their most recent phone is Sony Xperia Z VI. Their most recent headphones are WH-1000XM6. Wtf fuck. Their competition is Pixel 9, iphone 16, air pods pro, etc. …doing things differently could be done better.

They are a poorly run great company. They make genuinely gpod tech but every business decision is poor.

As an exampl, Sony own a lot of music, like a huge amount of through their labels. The could have made Walkman a streaming service to rival spotify and Apple and stuck it on every Xperia phone for a year for free and got market share. They just suck at getting it out there. They could have been the company to fill the luxury android spot to rival iphone.

I wiped it, coincidentally I also wiped the negligible amount of linux knowledge I had from my brain… restarting the process. I might write what I do down, preferences and software etc.

I wiped it, clean install…then I fucked around with gnome and now I regret things.

I didnt encrypt home this time around. This is a trial interaction for me and that is unnecessary complication.

These were my thoughts, lack of space but it should have hundreds free. I have a 500gb home drive and a separate tb for files.

No idea what process would have created enough info to fill the home drive without an internet correction.

Yeah, its my frst dip into linux bit apprehensive to to start over…cant even rememer what I installed.

Would you recommend not encrypting home?

Seems like something I would have done, not being that knowledgeable - encryption = good.

But I didnt sucessfully delete anything. The one file was showing way bigger than any other and there should have been hundreds of gigs free.

Makes sense though, thank you.

You should probably take the hit and put a few 4K pieces on there as a treat. Maybe balance out with a 480/720 collection for smut.
