We've hit the wall of diminishing returns. How much power do you need to run lemmy?

Ive got a 4k oled 144hrtz panel in my phone... to read lemmy.

And my pixel 6 is considered aging.

Pixel 6, look at Mr. Monopoly over here. I just got a 5 off eBay for $100. In fact, my last 6 or 7 phones came from eBay. Can't imagine why I would pay for the latest and greatest.

Do you put something like lineage on it? I replaced my 5 with a 7a just because it no longer gets updates as of this month I believe it is

No way in hell I'd trust some rando from eBay with selling me a phone not riddled with Malware.

Tmobile gave it to me for free after they shitcanned 4g during the Sprint merger. They had to give out new shiny 5g phones to appease users.

I got an iPhone 14 pro as an upgrade (contract). Had a pixel 6 before, wish I had stayed on the 6 to be honest, the 14 pro is amazing but I barely use it for anything.
