not called Brad but rather a lad, from Bradford in the UK.

Enjoys breaking apps, escooters, spam rings and sometimes bones, but not my own. That sucks.

  • I usually limit it to 80% during the summer, but because I work outside and through the night too my battery can reach very low temperature levels which absolutely hammers my battery life so I let it charge to 100% / or just to warm it up via a small powerbank on my FLT sometimes during the winter months.

    As for longevity? I usually go through a phone every year or two so I don’t see the wear of of what others are saying in here using their phone for over two years (that’s my max), but I feel the 20/80% guideline is a fair one to go by since the reported 100% isn’t fully accurate anyway.



  • I’ve also been using Linux for a similar amount of time, and it’s only at work now I have to use Windows.

    And as for home users using Linux? I have a few family members quite happy with Ubuntu / Firefox since all they need is a browser and VLC for their “PC”, so I don’t know where you got that “it’ll never get there” metric from.

    Alright they don’t have a clue how Jellyfin works on that box, but they sure do appreciate and use it a lot these days now they’ve got used to it / dumping Netflix.


















  • I’ve got to be honest, FACT might keep on yammering that they’re nailing these “IP” pirates in the UK but all the dodgy firestick sellers I’ve ever met, all the guys who have pirated since god knows how long I’ve never ever once heard of someone getting done over here in Britbongland?

    Worst I’ve had is two emails to one of the 10 email addresses BlueYonder supplied us with (yes, I’ve had my BY/Telewest that long…) telling me I’m naughty for torrenting two episodes of Animal Kingdom back in 2016/7. And, because they use a Gmail backend for their email stack I didn’t even get notified and only noticed them because I got bored, printed them out, and rolled them around my toilet paper roll for shits and giggles.

    Seriously, is there anyone around here from this same land and heard of anyone getting “done”?
