  • Oof. I mean, OnePlus had already fallen off quite a bit since being required by Oppo. I’m typing this from an 8t but I made up my mind months ago that this would be my last OnePlus device due to their merging of oxygen os and color os and their massively degraded modding community.

    Man, the android phone industry/community used to be so vibrant and fun. I’ll keep this one until it dies but I don’t know what I’ll do next. All the time it seems like Pixel and Samsung are my only choices. Are Motorola ok? I ditched them years ago ironically for essentially the same reasons I’m ditching OnePlus now but again it’s been years.








  • I have a 9560, and I’ve personally replaced the ssd, ram, battery (multiple times, both sizes), ac jack, and wireless adapter, plus redid the thermal paste, this all in the 5 or 6 years that I’ve had it. It’s pretty easy to work on, you just need a Phillips and a few sizes of torx. The official service manual is a huge resource there.

    My L15 Thinkpad looks comparable too, though I’ve only done the ram it’s also just a matter of removing some screws.






  • It definitely seems to me like they’re trying a similar strategy to Microsoft’s Surface line or Google’s Pixel line where the main goal isn’t really to outcompete directly, but rather to influence the market by a) proving that the platform is viable and b) providing a blueprint/setting expectations for third-party manufacturers considering getting in on it. I swear I remember valve saying they were open to licensing steam os to third party devices (granted, I dunno if anyone’s taken them up on it), and they obviously want as many people on steam as they can pull off.
