I noticed a big jump from pixel 6 to 7 in cost, so the 6 is what I meant. Still very usable in 2024. I don’t need all the newest features, just security upgrades. The battery is fine - I use a chargie to keep it between 35 and 85% to prolong the life.

You can pay more for a more modern phone, but if your only criterion is a usable pixel you don’t have to spend more than about 200 if that.

Edit: I really appreciate your recommendations though – I may try one of those out when I need to upgrade.

I usually buy pixels used for $200, where are you getting 6/7 phones for that price?

Thanks for dropping that knowledge… Perhaps in years and years hence I’ll search “Windows add app to startup lemmy” to remember how to do this… I’m much more used to using msconfig to tell Windows apps NOT to start up automatically…

Instead of “Windows add app to startup” I would search “Ubuntu add app to startup” and limit it to articles posted in the past year. Maybe not obvious but not that different honestly.

On the other hand, no amount of searching got my laptop’s volume up and down keys to work in Ubuntu :(

I hope this is not fallout from the 404 Media article

What open source stuff? Asking for a friend

To be fair IDK how to tell a Windows program how to start up automatically if it didn’t have an option for that in it’s own settings… I’d have to search for a Windows guide

Same. Hexchat + znc = peak of software development
