Oh man, they almost had me depending on camera quality, but how old is that processor?

That’s always a good recommendation. I’m pretty hard on my gear so I usually buy new to get the most life out of them. My earbuds were pretty worn by the time I washed the case. But I’ve more than one person say refurbished has worked out great.

Those look interesting. Thanks for the suggestion.

Do those have ANC?

How good would you say the ANC is?

That took my back. Mpow were my first Bluetooth headphones. Good to know they are still around.

For me it’s the camera. If the best camera I have is the one with me then the one with me is going to be the best I can buy (within reason) if they could get Samsung or Pixel quality (or iPhone I guess) that would be awesome.

I’ve had issues with the Nexus 6P, Pixel 2, and Pixel 4a. All have had connectivity issues with either Bluetooth or Wi-Fi after 2 years. I assume the antennas that wrap around the outside are getting damaged in my pocket or something else.

Yes but will the hardware still work after that time?

Oh no at this point I’m just genuinely curious. Does it do notifications? I wonder if it would work well tutanker from Mac OS.

How much tinkering did it take to get it stable? How much ongoing maintenance is needed?

This is why I recommend Mint with Cinnamon DE. Same reasons. It’s always interesting to see someone come to a different conclusion with the same reasoning. 🙂

I highly doubt the PineTime is stable and reliable enough for the mainstream.

You are assuming they know about and care about those issues. The teens in my life don’t care.

Debian.

Thanks again this is exactly what I was looking for.

Thank you I’ll check it out

Yeah it was unfortunate because of their (basically) no returns policy I didn’t want to roll the dice on a second one.

Armbian was the most promising when I had mine, but still wasn’t ready. I just couldn’t get into manjaro, but every time I loaded a new OS the screen would die, come back, flciker and a “shadow” around the perimeter of the screen.
