Second iphone
« on: Sat, 07 October 2023, 12:26:29 »
Guys, they is installed spy apps on the wurk iphone.

What's the best iphone to get at this point (price wise), just as a beater for private use. It has to be iphone for occasional wurk apps.

If you are looking for iPhone specifically, then something like an 11 should be fine. If you want the latest software updates than don't go below the XS/XR since they have discontinued software support for the X, and you might just want to go up to an 11 so you can get continued support for a while longer.

The more recent Iphones are relatively similar to each other. So unless you really want to take better photos or want more powerful hardware for some reason, then I would recommend the cheapest one you can find that still has software support personally.

cherry blacks - unlubed - filmed and springswapped with tx 55g mediums - alu Plate | pretty happy with this, the blacks were cherry picked so they weren't that scratchy to begin with, but currently breaking them in, may lube them with a dry lube like ro59 or ptfe powder.

lubed with tribosys 3203 | like topre a lot, prefer it lubed but did make less tactile but that might have been a skill issue. probably will get more tactile over time as the domes age.

bad orange alps lol | definitely needs a restoration. planning on wax boiling them and maybe a replacement pcb because the board has only 2 key rollover apparently.

gateron yellows - lubed with 205g0 - 62g tx mediums - pc plate | probably my favourite keyboard already, feels super nice and sounds pretty good, it's got a great layout as well. probably gonna build this with mx browns, I feel like it would suit the board more.
| camo filco

stock with silent reds | Pretty cool looking board, the silent reds are actually good, they are smooth and I don't mind the mushiness (it's not even that mushy as well). the layout is pretty weird, but is useable. will probably mod this in the future. maybe a pcb and plate swap, change the keycaps to something dolch like, and also spring swap the springs in the silent reds.

stock, needs a cleaning and probably replacement foam. Do plan to change layout so it has split bs and rs, as well as ansi enter.

Built with new nixies on pc half plate. Love this board already, probably the best looking board I own, those brass accents are so mint. Really like it as is, but I do want to try an alu build (probably with nixies as well) just to experiment with that.

I have been using a Pixel 3 for years and have been very satisfied, although I am not a "heavy" user.

My daughter got a 3 at the same time and used until a year ago when it finally died completely. She had abused it relentlessly, mostly by dropping it, and its features and components had given up the ghost one by one, back camera, front camera, sound, screen had cracked more than once causing the loss of the bottom 10%, then later the next 20%, you get the idea. Countless times I said "Why don't you get a new one, as much as you use it?"

Several months ago she finally did, I think it was maybe a 6 (the larger size, which I would not do because I carry my phone in my pocket) and she is very pleased with it.

"Starting in 2011, the deficits again started to shrink. During Obama’s term  the deficit was reduced by $900 Billion  before finally in 2015 the GOP managed to wrangle a “reconciliation” bill out of Obama where he again cut corporate taxes, as well as made permanent some of George W. Bush’s original tax cuts. This is the year everything reversed. Before this, under Clinton, Bush and Obama the deficit in almost every year was gradually decreasing. The balance we had of taxes and the economy was bringing the deficit down, the money coming in was slowly catching up with the money going out until 2015. Trump’s subsequent tax cut has continued the new trend even after the rest of Bush’s cuts have since expired. Obama had an average GDP of 2.3%, with 11.6 million jobs created and unemployment peaking at 10% in 2009, then falling to 4.3% in 2016. If we had continued on that downward deficit track, we would have again reached balance and another surplus in 2017-2018.

That means software support is really good right ? Using it for that long.

maybe you can consider the mini if that's your thing? it has a bit of a cult following. i've been using a 14 pro and it's excellent. i have fairly high screen time so i'd say it's worth it for me to just get something nice and new.

From my very limited understanding, Android goes through major "generational" changes infrequently. As I recall, when I got the Pixel my Galaxy 5? still worked fine but I had crossed the support threshold such that I was too far behind the curve to get some app that I wanted/needed.

Not that I am particularly concerned, but I sometimes wonder how long in the tooth the Pixel 3 is getting to be.

No high screen time here, just need secrets secret.

7a is a solid contender then.
