@adi Yup it’s all true! 😥 Horridyingly so 🤦♂️ Cryptocurrencies are such a waste of energy 😳

I always find it ironic, but very sad, how almost everyone is for greener and renewable energies but find new and creative ways to be far more wasteful and destructive to the environment than ever.
As a side related note, this is one of the reasons I personally won't buy a brand new phone. The Pixel 3 I bought recently was literally from a mobile phone recycling company that tests and resells them. I would love there to be a whole lot less planned obsolescence in general.
Less planned obsolescence, more time/resources towards to maintaining existing items a bit longer. In a similar vein, I'd prefer instead of new car models coming out every few years, maybe every 10 years with maybe upgrades and maintenance to the current gen in the meantime.
Sorry, I went a bit off track there 😂
@eldersnake Yeah, I put LineageOS on an original Pixel that was new (to me); couldn't be happier.
@jlj Nice! I put CalyxOS on my Pixel 3. It's quite nice, no complaints with the OS at all. I don't love that the phone itself has a non-removable battery and no headphone jack, but that's a hardware decision and one that seems to be the go-to on most phones the last few years, _sigh_
@jlj @eldersnake I never had a phone with no headphone jack. Why are people complaining about it?

@adi I think the main reason is the hardware designers decided they could make phones thinner without the jack. Also I think Apple did it first, and of course they can then sell you the adapters so you can connect your old headphones. _Of course_... Then others followed suit.
@adi That’s a double negative there mate! Did you mean that all the phones you’ve had don’t have a headphone jacks?

@eldersnake I understand why but as a no headpone jack phone owner is that such a big issue?

@adi Probably not an issue for a lot of people, as evidenced by all the people walking around with wireless AirPods or whatever 😁 But it's annoying to me, as I have a $200 pair of headphones and prefer wired over wireless. I have a USB-C to 3.5mm adapter for my Pixel, but that in itself uses the phone power to operate and hence uses extra battery.
@adi Say it without double negatives 🤣
