I don't really care about the site, but their releases were fast and had consistent X265 quality, nothing new matches them

Pahe is quite fast, PSA recently did something to their encoding and often/mostly can't play them anymore on my TV, they worked fine up until last year, not sure what they messed up, at least with pahe X265 I have guarantee it will work

it's fragmentated but that's how federation works

I would see solution in third party app where you subscribe to communities and if they share same name like Technology then app will merge them together and also remove duplicate posts

I mean pretty much all batteries even now are user replaceable, it just depends on skill of the user, but I know they mention EASILY replacable, so I am very curious about their definition of "easily" since it means something different for everyone.

I dunno man, I just entered "c h u d 1984" into qbit search and immediately got 1.6GB 1080p YTS rip result, even some integral cut

but yeah 1337x search plugin seems broken, not getting any results for few days, everything I get is from bt4gprx.com and torlock plugins, even torrentgalaxy plugin seems not work

what's the point of SSD for archival purposes? seem like less safe option than HDD and speed is not really issue for long term archiving or watching TV shows/movies, I don't really see point in SSD besides running OS/apps

Technology on beehaw has almost 20k subscrubers

strange, it's showing me here 1609 subscribers here through kbin, or what I see are kbin users subscribed to technology on beehaw while you quote directly beehaw users?

public tracker I can easily search directly from qbit, also good for newest releases

Pahe for DDL stuff, if I want better X265 quality at small size (PSA used to be good, but they fucked up something and I can't play their X265 rips anymore on TV, X265 Pahe rips always work)

ain't gonna pay for usenet or getting invited to private tracker

The evil is always in details, thats why with their Incandescent light bulb ban, these are now sold as heating devices/lamps, so much for their bans/rules. That's why I pointed out commercially available tools can be at same time specialized tools, they should rather mention something like it must be tools owned by 50% households according stats and do simple survey about screwdrivers.

what phone?

Sony used to seriously fuck up camera if you installed custom ROM, not sure if they abandoned this user friendly practice

I use old.reddit on computer with ublock origin, I don't even know Reddit has ads, been visiting for 10+ years, never saw single ad, same on mobile where I use Boost + Adaway or Kiwi browser + uBlock origin, I will see how the 3rd party situation works out

depends on country where you live and how long you seed

Honor 10 with some old rooted Lineage Android 8.1 without gapps, wife has Xiaomi Mix 2s running some old Xiaomi.eu I think Android 9 with gapps (plus she has company S20 FE with official ROM), actually upgrading to new phone would bring pretty much zero benefits to my daily life besides having better camera

couldn't be bothered to upgrade to newer one, it's available for wife's one, but there is no point, if it wouldn't improve her life at all, as for me I would need to go to EMUI to have slightly newer Android but I will rather have clean Android, anyway looking for years for replacement compact phone with decent camera (4a seemed great but asymetrical punch hole and crap battery and all other pixels had either this problem or they are too big already, zenfones unreliable hardware without software support), currently Xiaomi 12 seems like best option for 400EUR

Galaxy S21/22/23, if you dont mind shutter lag

Zenfones, if you dont mind 3 times more faulty hardware than other brands, shit software support, bad software optimization, meh camera and bad VFM

Xiaomi 12, if you dont mind MIUI or installing custom ROM

Xperia phones if you dont mind remote control aspect ratio, shit software updates, meh camera and insane price

Pixel 8 if you dont mind waiting, it should be under 70/150mm judging by display size

I am aware of that, but already low quality photo (compared to Pixel/iPhone) has even worse quality with this option.

you forgot most importantly it's 3 times more faultier than other brands which have 99-100% reliability, while zenfones like 96-97%, these data are publically available in european online shops

there is Xiaomi 12 and upcoming Pixel 8, both overal better options than everything you listed

be aware that this option lowers the already low image quality

with the use of commercially available tools and without requiring the use of specialised tools

It's contradictory, what about commercially available specialized tools? Who defines what's specialized and not?

DDL is fine if you know where to look, Indian pahe uploads to mega, onedrive, pixeldrain, especially the last one has pretty much no limits and their X265 rips are on par with rarbg

Squabbles has unrestricted sign up, but from what I see it's becoming Reddit very fast, just same intolerant hivemind already calling for downvotes so they can downvote inconvenient opinions despite they are presented in civil way and don't break rules, so might as well stay on Reddit for same experience

why? ublock works fine to block sponsored stuff

no, 1337x.to is the official one

check Indian Pahe or PSA WF, both for DDL links, they are quite fast and pretty good quality X265 rips, better than YTS and most of the stuff, X265 Pahe on par with rarbg

why would I even care about it, if only thing I torrent are movies and TV shows?

yeah, great phone if you dont mind crap SoC for the price, crap camera, no 4K video, remote control aspect ratio and crap software updates

I think for that money I would rather buy Xiaomi 12 or deal with Pixel 6A size
