    I have the S23 ultra, which has about the same display

    It can go very dim with just the standard slider already and on top you can toggle extra dim which has it’s own extra slider. In my pitch black room, reading white on black text I have to stop the extra dim slider to about 3/4th before it starts being too dim to see the screen.

    There’s also the blue light filter slider (they call it eye comfort shield) that you can also add on top, it’ll turn everything more on the orange/yellow side making it easier on the eyes.

    Otherwise, I say you can’t go wrong with the S series of samsung phones, they’ll last a long time and have the top specs of that year. The S23 has an aluminum frame and if it’s any close to mine it’s very tough, I like looking at durability tests on youtube to get a good idea of how much damage it can take. 100% you have to get a screen protector, film ones work okay, but glass protectors are wayyy better. Glass protectors just feel the same as the display, though if you plan to be rough with it film protectors are easier to replace. I got mine from whitestone, Spigen is good and well recognized too. I say to get a screen protector because just taking it in/out of your pocket after two days you’ll start seeing micro scratches, so this would help with the longevity of the device.




  • Out of Milk is one, not sure privacy wise though. there’s an ‘Do Not Sell or Share My Personal Info & Limit Use of My Sensitive Personal Info’ button down, but who knows how much they respect that.

    Otherwise, I’ve used it a couple times with my roommate and it works well for listing products and synchronizing between devices. The interface is really simple and it even lets you scan barcodes







  • If you look at pretty much all earphones and earbuds, you’ll see they have a screen mesh where the sound comes out. You can remove this mesh (depending on the device, it might take some effort), and very often you’ll find an accumulation of earwax. I had a pair of Galaxy Buds+ that I needed to clean when I noticed the sound was unusually low.





  • So how about a movie that I’m the target demographic of: Borderlands, Clear example of hollywood not sticking to source materials and aiming for a quick, lazy cashgrab. Thankfully it backfired. This looks to be the same recipe, throw some well known actors in, type out a generic story vaguely inspired by the source material, slap the vfx team on it and call it a day.

    They are disrespecting the franchises they depict and by letting it be we show them it’s okay to do so. Kids don’t know what’s good or how to spot a lazy cashgrab. Most of them haven’t been deceived by greed yet, this could be it. I think they deserve better.
