I'm pretty tall. I move a lot of family members around on rare occasions. I go for week-long trips out of town in my car. I barely drive it in town (usually evenings and weekends and not even every evening or weekend). My car isn't quite that behemoth but it is large enough for what I need. I have helped with over 4 home moves in that car and even used it to transport a fridge to a civic waste site.

It does the job fine. I've never felt the need to get a pickup truck. Some people probably have genuine use cases. The majority probably don't. Those things are wild.

Honestly, perfect gummy fodder. Need to watch it again in different circumstances.

There's cableporn and I'm okay with it

They're out of their element.

I mean.. That's just like... Your opinion man.

Ah yeah much more common now, yet I prefer the customisable nature of wrapper notifications. At one point Messenger worked in them too. No longer.

Yup, Frost was just a wrapper for the mobile site, but it had notifications, dark theme and other trimmings and barely used battery vs. the official app. I've been keeping an eye on the official FB app's battery usage on the new phone and so far in the space of 40% used since I charged my phone to 80% in the morning (with it being 8pm now), there has been no battery consumption from FB at all. This is much better than it used to be. I'm sure when I actively use it it will drain more, but I don't use it really, only if someone sends me a link or if I need to check birthdays.

It's the background usage before that was killing me.

I stopped using Facebook on my phone because of the drain it had on battery. I have a new phone which manages it better and it's back on my phone again, but, like, who even uses FB these days ahead of other apps? Anyway, I still use it for birthdays (which is why I had Frost installed before Facebook broke it), but I miss the days you could just add Facebook birthdays to Google Calendar. Facebook killed that too.

I'm intrigued by this approach. How does Revanced make it work?

EDIT: just found out, you just need a dev key.

I used to use Redber, but Rave made way more sense financially and their roast consistency had less dud beans than Redber. That said, some of Redber's offerings were really nice. The Rave packaging is a great bonus.

I've pre-ordered one in the UK and at £750 for 16/512GB currently, seems decent enough.

I wouldn't switch out of my OnePlus 7T Pro if I didn't have abysmal battery (now, and even when new somewhat average with my usage) and a cracked screen, but this will outperform it as the chipset on the 7T Pro is ageing too. I still get buttery performance 85% of the time, but I think I need something that performs well more consistently with better power management under load (my 7T Pro doesn't like running things like Waze when there's any degree of heat on it from the windscreen), and has a good battery experience.

The 7T Pro charging is still faster 0-80% even though both are 30W, with Warp Charging being a gamechanger for me, so other VOOC tech charging solutions would be neat to have., but if the overall power management and battery life are vastly improved in newer gen chipsets, then this should be fine.

Even with all that said, I have been aching for something smaller, lighter and with the character of the Nexus 5 I once adored, but with less of the flaws. And I think the Zenfone 10 will hit the spot for the next few years. I will miss the notchless display and its size for consuming YouTube content etc, but I will appreciate the flatter screen's lack of reflections and faster refresh rate I'm sure.

Breath of the Wild can be done in under 30 minutes or take hundreds of hours. I'm about 120 hours in and have yet to finish. I could do the final battle now but there's way more going on in this stunning world for me to enjoy.
