Lots of easy ways to get shot there from what I read. Just one more for the list.

I recently tried to get away from outlook as my primary email / calendar. Tried a couple of different providers only to discover just how reliant I am on having seamless calendar invites.

Manually attaching .ICS files to email was not going to cut it. No matter how good caldav is for my phone to desktop, I need to easily make events / respond to them.

A bit more extreme than a sticker: https://www.tyreextinguishers.com/

England and former colonies do at Christmas.

That's what the Orca's want us to think.

I've given Neo a shot. Hasn't got as many features sadly. The main one I miss is infinite scroll through home screens.

Only 2GB... Since android 14 update bricked my phone a couple of weeks ago.

They don't even provide refunds for purchases where the developer has cut support, degraded the app or removed the app from the store altogether.

I was a long term Nova user also. Have tried a few others since, none of which I liked except Neo, which appears to have issues in 14 too.

Been using android since the first galaxy. Never have I experienced such a fuck up as when I let my pixel 7 pro update to 14. And this is from someone that used to run random custom stuff going back a few years.

Android 14 caused my phone memory to become corrupt and I had no choice but to factory reset, losing everything not synced. Apparently this was due to running two separate user profiles.

Somehow Google was too busy finding ways to get and sell more of our data and forgot to test if this basic feature fucking works.

Not looking forward to Monday when I'll have to jump through flaming hoops to set up my work micrishaft authenticator / profile / intune crap again.

Other beef with 14, custom launchers are broken. I have never been able to stand the stock launcher, it is like babies first launcher. No customisation options and the stupid search bar can't be removed. A few apps I use on a regular basis claim to to not be compatible, even though they ran fine for several days in 14 till the whole thing shit itself.

On the UI front I feel as if everything seems to get more bland each release with less interesting customisation than we had circa android 5.

Could probably change Australia to 3 red circles for Sydney, Melbourne and Brisbane.

I've tried a few times in the past but always come crawling back to windows for gaming.

Last time it was terrible performance in TF2 that did it, this was after battling against fstab, drivers for my sound card and GPU. Oh and USB drives also refused to work.

Next PC build I'll give dual booting another shot. Will certainly try to get hardware that others have reported as working.

I still run Ubuntu with Kodi on my HTPC and that's usually good.
