I got a task to buy a smart phone for my grandparents, they are not techsavy but they know how to use basic functions. Iam looking for an andoid because it has language pack i need. I dont need it to have lots of functions, onley a good camera and a big screen. Bonus points if it can be flashed with some kind of simplefied...
My mother is 84. I got her a Motorola phone for around €170 / $180 and did the setup for her (increase text size, setup whatsapp etc.). It is perfect. Main consideration was a decent battery life, reasonable camera and a not awful processor.
At her age all she wants is phone calls, texts, youtube and whatsapp and most androids in that price range or higher ticks those boxes IMO.
Thanks. Yeah that is a big assed chicken for Ireland tbh but it’s still more expensive overall.
I feel like you guys have been badly burned by price gouging. I remember seeing a thing on Reddit about egg prices skyrocketing and they had barely budged here so I found it odd.
Long story short, I learned there is an XMMS release of a plugin I use in Winamp for music playback (mp3PRO). Sadly, I recoded most of my music to mp3PRO back in the day, and now I’m stuck using Winamp, even on Linux. I like the player, wouldn’t change it, but I wanted to switch to something native, like Audacious or Qmms....
If it doesn’t work out or you find yourself tight on space in the future you can always recompress to mp3 or ogg and take the quality hit at that point.
I have a Galaxy Tab S7 and for a trip to Spain I downloaded some stuff to watch on the flight. When I got on the plane none of the stuff downloaded on Disney+ would play. Maybe an issue with downloading to the SD card? I don’t know, but regardless Disney offers SD card as a download destination so they should make sure it is...
Would you blame some Ukrainians for wanting all Russians dead?
I mean that’s a fucked up starting point tbh, so yeah, I would.
Ukraine has made it clear they’ll stop at their border. Hamas have made it clear they will not. They’re an existential threat to Israel.
edit: we’re all looking in thinking an equitable two state solution is the answer but Hamas have made it clear that’s not an option for them. How do you discuss anything with someone whose stated goal is to eradicate you?
At least in Northern Ireland the goal was to leave Britain alone after a united Ireland had been achieved.
Well now I'm disappointed too! (lemmy.world)
What is the most unusual spirit you have in your home bar?
I find unusual spirits interesting, and I want to hear about the ones you have.
What could my upstairs neighbor possibly be doing to make this much noise?
Their foot steps sound like they just have 2 pegs for feet… they hit so hard....
What phone do you sugest for your grandparents?

What are your "poor person" money life hacks?
Let’s get a list going. Like with a Target debit card you can get $40 cash back and it takes 1 to 2 days to be withdraw from your checking.
Is there any way I can make an old XMMS plugin work in any modern player?

Go watch Invasion if you don't believe me (lemmy.world)
If you only criticize civilian casualties when Palestine resists, then your concern isn't civilian casualties. Your concern is Palestine resisting massacre. (lemy.lol)
