thanks, this sounds great. i've installed a few custom firmwares but like a decade ago and i wanted to install one on my motorola recently and was just perplexed at the complexity of it all, i might be getting old. i mean i can follow instructions, but just so many things can go wrong, don't do this, softbrick, don't do that, hardbrick ... honestly, the instructions were well written but unorganized a bit, just put me off.

i think i might like GOS tho, sounds great and 2nd hand pixel 8 or so are cheap enough so i'll probably give it a go.

alright thanks for the extensive answer, this sounds great. i like the two profiles setup. and i didn't even know about aurora store ( i am out of the loop i know :) ) looks like this could be my next phone, and previous gen looks great enough, i don't need the latest bells and whistles, pixel 8 would be great.

how is pixel with graphene os ? does it completely remove all google spyware shit? or do they have some sort of hardware backdoor?

the reason I ask is because i have a motorola right now and it pisses me off immensely ... there is this notification they keep pushing, "Activate Live Lock screen" which i don't even know what it is, some background pictures crap. I uninstalled this app, but the notification remains. Like it's not there always but keeps coming back every few days. this has been going on for months and i got so pissed i decided to contact support and complain there. they said, something along the lines of, we can connect remotely and do it for you. ( like disable, but they can't disable because i went through every option on the phone, it cannot be disabled, it's just bloatware) but their "we can do it for you remotely" got me thinking, backdoors, backdoors everywhere.

now i want a new phone lol and one that can support a custom firmware but installing custom firmwares on pretty much all phones is a nightmare.

but i also hate buying anything google, hence my question.

it's just a moving average cross. 50 day MA moves below 200 MA, that's it. Can be a bearish sign but I've seen it bounce in this moment a bunch of times.

But technical analsyis is just drawing imaginary lines on a chart, they know nothing about how stupid Trump and Musk are so it might very well be bearish. At least I hope so. I want to see him get margin called at 114$ or so they say.

that sounds great in theory but a) noone respects this and b) noone enforces this

i know because i reported a bunch of companies and websites and every time i got a reply "welp, there's nothing we can do"

GDRP is useless

I never got the appeal of plex. I've been using Serviio back in the day and it was free, open source and did what I needed it to, which is play a video on tv, that's it.

Plex wanted me to purchase subscription years ago and I couldn't for the life of me figure it out how to set it up for free.

I've been using stremio for a few years now but i think it's closing in on the EOL as well, so i might go back to serviio and kodi one of these days. Just need a good NAS that could run a streaming server as well. Don't want to keep my gaming rig on at all times just to watch movies.
