Most mobile devices won't work without batteries. The best way to work around this is to supply it with 4.2V (anything between 3V and 4.2V will do) over the battery connector.

Proxigram is like bibliogram. You can use one of their public instances

If your hate only goes towards touchscreens and not having physical buttons, Mazda is (or at least was) very anti-touchscreen. I haven't done any research on their current stance or if they have good EVs, but a neighbor of mine was really happy with his Mazda ICE car for having a button for everything.

In that case you can try adding before:2023 or similar to your search

This could be a long shot but if it's a Samsung Galaxy Tab S, the battery connector solder joints kinda die after a while, which can either be fixed by reflowing them or by applying pressure (I have a tablet with that issue). You could try pressing on the battery connector and see if it works then.

Yooo this reminds me, I think there was an AITA comment on reddit some time ago about a guy who burned down a Pizza place due to putting the entire bee movie script in a message box.

Edit: I believe it was a comment on an Askreddit thread, but a quick google search appears to not be enough to find it

Edit 2: I think it's this one, no clue if it actually happened though https://www.reddit.com/r/tifu/comments/bjttfe/tifu_by_ordering_food_online_amd_essentially/

Huh, pretty much every plan in Germany includes infinite call minutes and messages

I use Dual Shock 4s for all my PC gaming. They have all the features you'd expect, work with most apps and games (and there's DS4Windows for the rest), the bluetooth makes them great not only for something like the SteamDeck but also my phone, a friends iPad, ...

And the best thing is I can pick one up used for around 20€.

The newer Sony Xperias sound like a good fit for you. I haven't used one myself, but they're pretty decent from what I can gather.

Also it seems as if Sony is the only phone manufacturer shipping flagships with headphone jacks and SD card slots.

On another note, I highly recommend the GSMarena Phone Finder for getting a general selection of phones that have the features you care about.

Soumds like revolt might be interesting to you.

Another big factor with the OLED deck is that it gets significantly more battery life. Especially in less demanding games, you can get 2x or even 3x the battery life of the LCD version (cries in LCD deck).

As for storage size, if you're comfortable replacing the internal M.2 SSD, I believe you can save a bit of money there by buying the smallest size model (+ you get a bonus smaller SSD which can be nice for some projects). There is an ifixit guide for it.

If you're not up for that and still want to save money, the micro SD card support is supposed to really good and practically indistinguishable from the internal SSD from what I've heard, but I haven't yet tried it myself.

I can highly recommend rdx for browsing reddit without an account

I really enjoyed Dave the Diver on my deck, I'm only 9h in but didn't play for a while due to lack of time.

Another one that isn't really my thing but uses practically no battery is Minecraft through PrismLauncher (I don't like playing Minecraft on controller).

And some other games from my library that play nicely on deck, some might take a little bit more power:

• Celeste
• Geometry Dash (especially with the new platformer levels)
• Hue (might be a bit boring, I got it for free)
• Pole (might be a bit frustrating, I got it for free)
• Rayman Legends (there's a certain patch to make it run without uplay)
• Stardew Valley
• Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion
• Turnip Boy Robs a Bank
• Undertale

I use this app for scanning documents, I just tried sharing a picture to the app and running OCR on that picture, which also worked fine, so it should also fit your usecase.

The units can be adjusted in Settings > Appearance > Units, or are you missing options there?

High resolution displays on laptops, SSDs in laptops.

Those are the two I can think of right now. I believe Linus (LTT) talked about this on WAN show not too long ago aswell.

HoleyLight sounds like what you're searching for. I've never personally tried it though.

On Samsung phones Samsung Gamelauncher Gaming Hub gives you the option to mute all game audio, but I'm afraid this is a Samsung exclusive feature.

Another feature I have on my Galaxy S10 is the ability to set different outputs for apps, ie. "bad sounds" from some app to phone speakers (which are muted), and the rest to my Bluetooth headphones.

On my phone this feature is called "Separate app sound" and is located in Settings > Sounds and vibration > Separate app sound. It might also be a Samsung exclusive though.

Edit: I have yet another, sadly probably Samsung exclusive, solution. Samsung Sound Assistant let's you set a different volume for each app (like Windows volume mixer).

It'll be a collab with HP!

Infinity has it in settings, but I haven't tried it yet

This looks awesome, Thanks!

I started making an Android app for it here. It's obviously still in a very early stage, but it can already kind of display profiles. Also disclaimer I don't really know what I'm doing, this is more of a yolo I wanna look into Android app development kinda thing.

I presume your phone can't enter deepsleep if it's not in Standby. I'm not that knowledgeable on that topic but another point (that might be practically the same thing) is AFAIK your CPU and GPU can't shutdown, as your phone is still on and rendering a black image.

Here's a similar question, my answer should also be relevant to your question.

As for Switch emulation, yuzu still runs great, with many playable games on the deck. If you don't have the AppImage or Flatpak already, make sure to get it from a reputable source.

Edit: Or, if you're lazy, just use Ryujinx (also available in EmuDeck).

Streaming, especially video, is quite challenging and expensive. The fact that discord's video streaming was so cheap was always somewhat suspicious.

Dolphin (Wii and Gamecube emulator) sounds like something for you.

MineTest should also fit your criteria.

I believe there are a few games on F-Droid, I haven't tried any of them tho. Other than that, I believe the best games for you would be Wii games or an older console. Possibly also switch (with yuzu if you find an apk), but that requires a beefy phone.

I really enjoyed Tetris (2023). The story was super riveting and I also really liked the soundtrack (mostly just "modernized" Tetris music).

Miracast is pretty good, but I don't think it supports DRM-content. Also it seems to be getting phased out in favor of chromecast.

Damn even though you explained the abbreviation I still read it as Wife Approval Factor for a second and was very confused

I don't know how well this fits your usecase, but you can use DiscordChatExporter to export your messages to local files

Mann I remember my M8. I still use it as an IR remote sometimes. Sadly the battery is pretty much completely dead so I can't really use it for anything else.

If you have to access wikis from fandom, you can use breezewiki

It's currently in early development and I don't know how well it works, but Xournal++ mobile is a thing. Its desktop app is really good, so I'd expect the mobile app to eventually get there aswell.

Edit: Whoops skipped the drawing part, Xournal++ is more for note-taking. Krita is a good choice for drawing.

I'm on both, the one friend I message on matrix conveniently also hosts our instance.

Nowadays I very rarely use discord (only for server voice channels, because it's just better). The few chats I still have on discord are bridged into matrix.

For many of my friends it was easier moving them to Signal though instead of matrix.

+1 for FolderSync, it's amazing. I use it to sync some folders to my server over SMB.

Clipious is an Android Invidious client

I believe Matrix doesn't have nearly as strong (if any) metadata encryption as Signal

I got Stardew Valley, Spirit of the North, Celeste and Dave the Diver. All of them play super well on the Steamdeck, and except for in Spirit of the North the battery lasts forever.

There's a lemmy profile setting whether to show bots, you probably have that turned off.

I got this a few days ago. Previously I was using Geometric Weather, but then in Feb or so it got stuck. I'm very happy that this app (or rather the fork) is now maintained again!

It's probably a rarer use case, but I use the headphone jack on my S10 all the time to connect it to my stereo and get good audio quality, most cheaper bluetooth receivers only use SBC so the difference is quite noticeable. (Also because the S10 has a pretty good DAC).
