  • Some areas may even rely on LTE.

    1-3Mbps vs 30-50Mbps is quite a bit of difference.

    It also depends on how oversold the links are. I could easily take guaranteed gigabit and sell it to 2 homes as “Up to 1Gbps”. Or 5 homes. How many people would be using the full bandwidth 24/7 anyway. But it can also be far less reasonable. I can sell it as “Up to x” to as many as I want to. Sure, you may only be getting less than 100Mbps now, but if others stopped using the internet… It’s still validly “Up to 1Gbps”. Maybe you’ll get it, one day, or night.

    If you don’t have an SLA, you’ll just have to deal with it.









  • Oh well, it seems the Motorola isn’t that usable with stock ROM.

    First the 3 button navigation disappearing. Fine, I’ll get used to gesture navigation.
    Then the bottom-most row of homescreen icons glitching out. Fine, it works if I put all of them into a folder on the left side.

    But now there’s updates available and it’s worse than Windows. Fullscreen update notifications that cannot be dismissed. I found some thread about this on Reddit. Solution: “Just download the update bro”
    How about no.
    Force stop - “Blocked by your IT admin”
    Do I not own the device?

    adb shell pm disable-user --user 0 com.motorola.ccc.ota
    Failure: package is non-disable
    

    Mhm, I don’t.

    Like, security updates are good, but I want to install them when I want to, not immediately when the phone decides to.







  • Oh, I did once have a device without headphone jack, only with USB-C. But I don’t want that experience again. Yet another dongle to carry around, shortening the USB port’s lifespan with extra connects and disconnects, and most importantly, not being able to charge the phone or use OTG at once. For example I sometimes used my phone with welle.io to listen to DAB+ radio (or just general scanning around in SDR++), thus the USB port was occupied by RTL-SDR already.

    I also gave Bluetooth earbuds a go. Definitely not suitable for FPS gaming, and having yet another battery…
    Plus many of these phones have FM radio, which too is a bonus for me as I do use it.

    I could give-in to no headphone jack if the device had 2 USB-C ports, like the ASUS ROG phone, except that one actually does have a headphone jack as well. Mmmmmmmm… 3 port smartphone.
