  • As you add more compute per user interaction (“smart” features), you increase power consumption. To keep an 18hour discharge cycle, you have to have more battery. Since phone thickness is a negative marketing feature but increased screen size is a positive marketing feature, you end up with bigger phones.

    Every time they reduce compute power consumption, feature inflation overtakes the gain and more power is needed over time. Try turning on battery saver in the morning… even with “normal” use the battery will last significantly longer due to disabling background power consumption.

    You must have done more than rename a partition… it is looking for the partition UID and not finding it. Since the UID is never supposed to change until the partition gets wiped, this is very odd indeed.

    Also, putting external volumes (usb stick?) into fstab is not a good idea… let the automount find it when you put it in and want to access it.








  • No.

    If you ever so carefully paint yourself into a corner then the corner is where you will be stuck. How badly do you want out of your corner?

    There are FOSS and SAAS options that could work if you wanted them to… but whether they will depends on you.

    Meat eaters trying to become vegetarian for ethical reasons often fail because the “un-meat” options out there don’t meet their standards. Success almost always requires some letting go and re-adjusting. If you are not open to that then don’t force yourself to put up with something you don’t really want.
