This is why I use a USB C stick instead. But Android is getting abit too locked down for things at large in regards to that so??? I guess we just have to deal with this late 90s protocol Microsoft made for mp3 players on our Android devices that have already been replaced by better solutions like on Symbian where it still hid files but pretended to be a USB stick.

My 200 dollar android smartphone breaks all my laptops in all the benchmarks I ran on it that cost so much more than it. Legitimately though, I guess it doesn't mean that much since there is very little I can compare it with. Minus saying "Oh look wow this web assembly thing runs faster on my smartphone than my cheap computers from eBay!". Or "Roblox can look and run so much better on my smartphone than on my computer and not run at 20 fps!" Or also "Look at this benchmarking tool it scores higher on my smartphone!" Or also also also "Look at me ma I'm running emulators and ruffle flash-player games faster in the web browser on my phone than on my computer that can't even run Run 3 at max settings!" Or also also "Look ma I can run Fallout New Vegas at higher settings and higher resolution and framerate than my new cheap 100 dollar mini PC or laptop from eBay!". Honestly though if you just gave me a real operating system with the terrible mid tier soc in my phone and shoved it into a laptop with a real operating system. I think I would like that a lot more than the 100 watts my biggest laptop draws from the outlet that can't even hardware encode video with an 8th Gen core i7 Intel with dedicated amd graphics. Like imagine the kind of power-draw a phone soc would have on a normal laptop battery all without paying up the ass for something that has the screen kill itself in 3 years thanks apple. Though but seriously minus the non upgradability of arm MacBooks and anti-repair nonsense; Apple seriously did wonders in taking their mobile silicon and expanding it into something really really great in the traditional computing world and making a unique series of chips separate from their mobile counterparts. X86 needs to finally die. Anything else should be looked for in the future. It is embarrassing that my shitty low end smartphone out performs all the computers at my local Walmart.

Yeah you should probably do that instead. Or be like me and switch phones everyday for some reason. Go insane use an iPhone and then an android phone than a phone from 2016 you have to custom rom to get working again because it's last update was from 2018 and you have to replace the battery.

I use both a password manager and Firefox password sync.

Keep them forever like I do! Just start collecting smartphones because it's better for the environment. I have like 10 of them never going into a landfill. Maybe find people who actually need phones idk.

As someone who has had shitty laptop keyboards with fucked up keyboards. I got some actual use out of the feature throughout the years and I have to say it's quite nice.

Oh really thats neat! Well I hope it comes here in the states or else my current iPhone will probably be the last I'll ever use once the battery degrades enough or it no longer gets support. I really don't want to have to pay 20 dollars for a signing service and a abunch of outdated apps or be tethered to a computer to use JIT ever again and I would rather just use my android phone for everything.

Good news is you'd probably be able to run a torrent client or anything else that doesn't require JIT code in order to function.

Doubt Apple will allow JIT to run on their specific region sideloading.

Thanks I'll just go back to my own world now.

No one knows how true this is now it's almost unreal.
