I ordered a 10€ "Skmei" watch from Aliexpress and it died in a year. My cousin buys ~30€ casio watches and they last at least 5 years of abuse.
Cheap Redmi phones have half the processing power of a top end midranger and will not decently survive years of planned obsolescence. I only have a Redmi (4x from their decent times) because I got it for free from my dad. It's a decent phone, but performance is terrible so they aren't worth paying for from the longevity standpoint, but if you need a temporary phone they are decent.
Most people, no matter the religion or gender see everything as a transaction (since everything in this world revolves around money). This is what's left from the society, that's why we should all try to change the world and make it a better place.
You reminded me to fit some tape in my phone's MicroUSB port, so the cable actually sits in somewhat properly. edit: I fucked it up, but it's still better.
Well, there is no support from privacy roms, but I can survive with lineageos+microg (with somewhat decent updates) on redmi 4x. There is support for poco f5 and redmi 12 from crdroid, which supports microg and is apparently decent. Cheaper options usually have mediatek processors (mediatek doesn't opensource their software or release fw blobs), so the support on those phones is terrible. Support on snapdragon xiaomis is still way better, then on samsung, oppo, etc.
They didn't change anything. Banking apps rely on play integrity to check if the device is secure (not bootloader unlocked/rooted). Google abuses this, so grapheneos devices also don't get the support.
Wait what's wrong with psychologists? I respect them for not killing themselves from having to deal with other people's psychological problems.
