Holy shit, that’s insane…1992? Back then setting up a drive meant configuring interleave and some other stuff.

Yes.

All I want to know is where’s the off button for this garbage.

And people wonder why I don’t let apps auto-update?

Uhh, what could possibly be better than deep fried butter?!?

But… Does someone have to die after dinner?

Ewww.

Tastes vary. But gimme a toad in the hole, or many other Brit dishes and I’m there.

Wow, that says a lot for Bandcamp

There’s and endless supply of guides for ripping.

On Windows just use Exact Audio Copy - It can pull all the track info from multiple sources. I forget what I used on Linux.

Diskprices.com.

Well, you don’t buy them there, but they have links.

Any SAS drive is essentially a data center drive, or at least was likely deployed in a business-class RAID system.

Generally a good point, but…

Flash isn’t permanent. Data storage mediums at any scale are impermanent.

Vinyl is pretty stable, provided it’s stored out of light and extreme temps.

CD’s are the same.

For me to store my (currently) 5TB of data (and have it be accessible) requires about 15TB of actual storage (3 copies to prevent loss, because hardware fails). Plus at leas one always-on device to play the media from. Each of these storages requires manufacturing, and then power to run them, and maintenance (new drives as old ones fail, new hardware, etc).

No solution is perfect, each of these approaches has it’s own pros/cons.

There’s no comparison between the two.

iOS - you can do only what Apple says you can do.

Android - whatever you want, mostly. And so many devs working on it outside of Google, it’s only a matter of time before Google’s restrictions are undone.

Keep in mind, people outside Google have worked on it for 15 years now. There’s a lot of non-Google expertise.

But… Whether it’s worth it is up to you. I use an iPhone for work, because they manage it so I can’t do anything beyond what they permit, even if it’s an Android. I need to make calls and use the tools the company provides. So iPhone.

But for personal, I do a lot of stuff that simply isn’t possible on iOS.

Like the pvc pipes inside the house? 🤦🏼

Sonofabitch.

I’ve used it for proba ly 10 years. Wtf.

This is a good thing

Meh, washers rarely need replacing anyway.

Grew up in a shop, did tons of oil changes, driven half a dozen cars over a million miles, replaced one or two drain plugs, but never just a washer.

Oh, dammit, that took me waaay too long to get. Haha

I have a Pixel, I don’t have this problem, and I run it hard. Switch apps extensively, have ~250 user apps, rooted, numerous service apps (Foldersync, Syncthing, Resilio Sync, 2 versions of Telegram, Teleguard, 2 XMPP clients, VPN), etc, etc. The apps I want kept alive stay alive, the ones I don’t care about get hibernated when Android decides to.

OP is using Graphene, I’m using Lineage, both start from AOSP. There’s something overly aggressive in Graphene battery optimization config.

Wow. I have a Pixel with Lineage, 1.9 gig for system.

Whats Graphene doing using so much ram?

That’s interesting, and surprising. Graphene doesn’t do anything special with battery optimization, does it (I didn’t think it did)?

Have you asked on any Graphene chats (they use discord and telegram, right?).

I’ve used Greenify for 10+ years to manage hibernation, but it really only works well with root, and the Graphene folks aren’t down with root… So the only thing I can think to look at is how battery optimization is configured per app (and the “don’t keep activities” setting in Developer Options).

Edit: look in Developer Options for “Background Check”, here you can select which apps can run in the background.

I’m running a Pixel with Lineage and battery optimization works fine. Graphene starts with AOSP like Lineage does, surely they aren’t doing anything weird with battery optimizing?

Or any other big city.

Tyoical New Yorker hubris.

With any luck, this will just clarify the divide between OSS and the garbage on the Play store.
