And a free gym, and 2 months worth of leave every year

funny enough starbucks drip coffee would be better than your your supermarket stuff

I would buy sips from china

Espresso is impossible to fuck up; if you get an espressonated-anything from Starby's you're still getting, you know, actual coffee

Surprise

@bole#0945 but nobody buys that (here), anyway. Everyone goes to starbucks for the vanilla soy decaf grape vegan latte

@bole

Hey

we all have dumb bullshit we spend our money on

I'm new to this whole sketchy Chinese products thing

Should I buy a Goophone?

@fedora too heavy to be worth it, sadly enough

@Ganpo Dadi (贛鄱大地) Xiaomi phones are generally a safer purchase

Xaomi is more reputable, I'd agree

But their phones have only a passing resemblance to an iPhone

They're not flagrant clones

I'd avoid MIUI like the plague after a read through the EULA agreement

'ree'

rt I'm almost certainly going to buy a V20 on eBay for $260

The Mi A1 in red looks nice enough for most people I'd say, and doesn't have shitty Mediatek processor

>removable battery
>IR universal remote
>Integrated DAC
>decent camera and microphone setup

The only qualm I have with the V20 is LG's horrible software, but you can update that manually, yeh?

No u cant

Also b o o t l o o p s

V20 is affected by them iirc

oh ye

I did hear about that

I honestly don't know shit about rooting

That's why most people are going to the A1, the stock Google is p appealing

Oh nvm lg v20 has lineageos support

Idk how good it is

But still you need to deal with bootloops

And they cant really push lineage os updates out unless lg gives needed source codes

Yes

It sounds like the build is not finished

v30 any better in that regard?

Dont think so

Atleast it doesent bootloop i guess

I guess I'll risk it

@Ganpo Dadi (贛鄱大地) did you try Kimovil.com for best bang for buck for your budget?

I have one of Xiaomi's Mi Mix 2. Only complaints I have are the difficulty in the rooting process (bootload unlock mostly) and the screen's lower bezel having a blackout applique to give the illusion of a curve on the screen's bottom corners. It's tough to describe verbally but basically the top corners of the screen physically have a curve built into the LCD, while the bottom corners are the usual square corners. There is a black coating on the back of the screen glass to give the illusion of curved corners in the bottom of the LCD. Really easy to notice as you rotate the phone towards and away from your eyes.
