Mine was delivered mid Feb so not even a month at this point. The phone only became available in February as far as I can tell so there aren’t many in people’s hands yet so I’m probably a bit of a guinea pig.

Anytime!

What phone are you using? Those are the features I want in a phone but I couldn’t find anything that works on Verizon in North America.

I finally had to retire my dying LG V30 that I wanted to keep forever because it had a headphone jack.

I like the power and build quality of flagship phones but no flagships have a headphone jack anymore so fuck em. I’m not gonna spend upwards of $1000 for a phone that doesn’t have the features I want.

I ended up buying a cheap Motorola that has a headphone jack, wireless charging, and an SD card slot. I do miss the AOD that is only available on OLED displays though. It’s a bit chonkier than I’d like but overall for 300 bucks I’m pretty happy.

Years ago I had a similar problem that was resolved by changing the method of I/O scheduling.

I’m not sure which one I used or if this is still relevant with modern Linux but it’s something to look into that might help.

I am responding to you on an LG V30 that I haven’t been able to part with because of the things you mentioned.

The battery life sucks and sometimes the fingerprint reader on the back doesn’t work right but I can’t bring myself to buy something new that doesn’t have the features I want. It just feels like I’d be downgrading.

I can’t speak to any of the newer litter robots as I have a LR1 and an LR2. The only issue I had was with the LR1. The hall effect sensor wore out and I was able to replace it with parts from their site.

I and many people I know swear by the litter robot. Off the top of my head I can think of 5 different households in my social circle with 1 or more litter robots.

For 4 cats you might want two litter robots as they tend to fill up quickly with multiple cats. Or set up the litter robot in addition to a traditional litter box so the cats can choose where to poop.

Download a torrent file and put it into a torrent client. Let the client download the torrent. Take the resulting file and watch it using the video player of your choice.

Yes but don’t tell anyone.
