Make sure the device you pick up has low latency. Not sure if you can find specs like that in the spec sheets. For watching video, latency is not an issue, but when gaming, you want as little time as possible to go by between you pressing a button and the thing showing up on the screen.
Yes your Matrix homeserver does have to run the bridges. So I agree with you - you have to somewhat trust the admins of your Homeserver, or host your own homeserver and bridges. But I understand that the latter is not for everyone.
Which funnily enough, has bridges to Signal, Whatsapp, Discord, Telegram and some more, meaning you wouldn’t have to have as many other clients installed to chat with contacts on those platforms
Also look at the memory of you haven’t already - run memtest

Runs great on my old-ish Galaxy S10 !
Frell yeah!

have you tried the builtin “winget” as alternative to chocolatey?
check out “conversations” its free on f-fdroid and paid in the play store (although from time to time its free there, also)
Sponsor Block (+ the already existing uBlock origin) for an ad-free YouTube.
Currently using the fennec build Firefox with those add-ons and have since ditched the YouTube app. Works great so far as an ad-free/native alternative to apps like revanced or newpipe
I’m not sure how piped will be able to handle all the traffic when it gets more popular.
As far as I understand it - piped proxies the traffic between youtube and yourself.
And libretube uses piped in the backend. So all traffic has to go through the piped servers. Not sure if they will be able to scale this up…
Alternatively: Firefox for Android + uBlock origin addon works well for me.
Unfortunately, there’s no Sponsor Block addon for Firefox Android.
Switching power supplies (“bricks”) are generally more efficient than linear power supplies because they lose less energy as heat. that’s were the difference comes from. (Of course they have drawbacks as well, like increased noise)
Yeah but if the OLED screen has to display black (RGB 000), it turns off the diodes completely. But as you said, most dark modes have a dark grey background which doesn’t do shit (jerboa has a black option btw)
For oleds, it makes a difference and not an insignificant number of smartphones today use OLED screens.
However, if the microwatt-hour of battery saved by browsing a shitty website of a shitty company for a few minutes saves the planet is another story…
Exactly what I was thinking…
