Re: What modern activity did you get up to today?

It seems most banks love to tie their services to a smartphone and employ activation procedures that make users jump through hoops and have no way to transfer it to another phone without contacting the bank. 10 years ago, you could have a certificate on a computer and things were simple(r). Now …

That was a disaster, replacing Magisk 21.1 broke another app (can't access my online bank without it...), still broken after removing Magisk. Works when restored from backup with old Magisk. There went my evening. Also, funny output of adb after restoring data partition: >adb push data_before_delta. …

Replaced Magisk 21. something with latest version of Magisk Delta on my phone. Now looking for the damn ZIP files of the modules I had installed before and re-granting permissions for root apps. Financial app devs and everyone around them are a bunch of scumbags.

There's this for OBS, no idea if still works for latest version. That forum reminds a bit of MSFN, with hopefully less toxic community. Though I can't be bothered to sign up, running too old Windows versions is just not for me, prefer to tweak newer versions with shell augmentations, much less …

Yes, I would argue that humans have a bad tendency for looking only at the bad side if things , social media just made it worse. It's easy to fall into the pit of despair. Not sure if there's any better advice other than less doomscrolling and to try focus on something of smaller scale that you …

Re: The best Windows XP games.

I like Amnesia: The Dark Descent (2010), if anyone's into horror genre. And Cry of Fear, 2012, total-conversion running on Half-Life's engine. The newest game I played on XP x64 was Wolfenstein: The New Order from 2014, this one was compiled with the older compiler that still targeted XP by default …

Hosting own game servers...yeah, good in theory, but IMO it wasn't what it was cracked to be. The amount of crappy servers that were out there, either running the same old boring maps all the time, other weird combos of game rules, wanting you to play the game "their" way and kicking/banning you …

Anxiety, she's always there, her loyalty is unmatchable. Time is just passing by, there's work, charging batteries in between, weekends come and go like it was nothing. In free time, I read discussions on obscure topics, listen to catchy music tracks on repeat, play some games, go on shorter walks. …

XP's Luna is OK in my book, Win9x's default color scheme however looks like it comes from the cemetery. Win10's defaults suck too, all that whiteness in the title bars. Nothing beats Aero for me, using custom theme currently on Win10 to make it look similar to Win7 + DWMBlurGlass. That's just me …

These days you can come across people saying they prefer playing games on their smartphone rather than PC. Used to have a game or two on my smartphone, but not anymore. I'm insisting on an older low-end model from 2014 and only have essentials. Was actually more into mobile games back in the era of …

I'm a bit tight on storage with Xperia E3 as well, hovering between 130 MB and 180 MB free space. One time recently something in the OS glitched and was almost on zero for a short while... It was updated to Android 7.1.2, specifically LineageOS 14 (unofficial port) from stock 4.4, so can run some …

Thank you for response, that Moto G5 has much more space compared to my Sony Xperia E3 with 4 GB (2 GB for /system, 2 GB for /data). Theoretically, higher capacity flash should last longer, but then there are also usage patterns that could vary wildly between individuals and who know what other …

eMMC storage durability in smartphones

Posted on 2024-07-06, 14:03

I was wondering, since flash storage has limited write cycles, does it ever happen in real life that smartphone starts to glitch out due to bad storage? Or literally everyone just replace it way before internal storage becomes a problem? Just something I got curious about now that my phone will …
