Thanks for replying.
What I am looking for is a way to storing my personal files at home. I am not looking for internet connected device that I can access remotely.
It will be mainly used to store my personal photos and videos, and not used to stream movies to a device.
Should be accessible by devices such as android, windows, and iOS.
Hope this helps.
Google till this day has a lot of their apps display stuff and buttons inconsistently.
I am sure the new UI update will bring those back across different screens.
That’s one of the issues I had when on Reddit. The developer used to go AWOL for extended periods of time. Not an issue on Reddit but definitely an issue here. Since then, I have switched to infinity for Reddit and kept using free apps.
Now on lemmy, I still use free apps (mainly voyager) and wouldn’t pay money for sync.
On an additional note, I see the developer of boost doing something similar.
I have seen this happening before on my phone.
Some apps detect a capacity of 4350 (Accubattery) while Samsung themselves state that the design capacity is 4500.
I haven’t done any battery change and still rock the genuine one it came with.
I don’t think it matters to be honest as long as you are sure the battery in your phone has the right capacity.
The fact that they take over and withhold those 2FA seeds are a big no for me.
I know Samsung phones can do something similar with a built in Modes and Routines feature. They allow you to access things that otherwise would require root from tasker.
I have a few routines that I use.
For example,
I have one that auto rotates some apps.
One that sends a notification to my watch when the phone is fully charged.
Another that enables NFC when I open the wallet app and disables it automatically.
Another that enables auto rotate, silences phone, and enables DND when playing games.
An application like tasker makes you realise the weird and amazing stuff you can do.
That last screenshot is the reason why I think local backups should be an option.
Most of these browsers use the enterprise policy of chromium.

For a year, but it will be extremely difficult for them to maintain mv2 after jun 2025.
You can add a screenshot button to the top bar.
Check this site and you can go through all available android launchers.

People aren’t buying as many phones as they used to, and the Chinese are making cheaper foldables now.
It’s not a google thing specifically to be honest. Tapping into phones happened way before android was a thing.
Smartphones, both android and iOS, just make it easier for them to tap.
The playstore is just flooded with garbage apps.
Once my apps are installed, the play store is only there for updates. Searching for new apps on the store is just rubbish.
Proton is great but I do feel wary from putting all my eggs in one basket again.
I’m not sure but does unobtanium work for you?
I used both Touchwiz and One UI. Touchwiz came with a lot of bells and whistles, wasn’t optimised, and generally ran on old phones that had limited power compared to phones nowadays.
Current One UI phones feel snappy to be honest. Also, compared to pixel phones these days, pixel phones to be less customisable out of the box with a lot of big bulky widgets, and UI wasted space. I prefer Samsung’s implementation on android where it follows a more traditional UX.
Added an edit to my post. Hope this helps.
