  • Reception is awful. It is rare that I actually have a stable connection if I don’t have WiFi. I used my OP5t to check if it really is a device issue and yeah it is. This is only slightly better of I leave 5G on, which is an absolute battery killer.

    The battery already barely lasts me a day. If I wake up really early for my standards, let’s say 6am, and I have to commute even just 30 minutes and I spend that time on my phone? Yeah I will have to charge again at like 3pm latest.

    The finger scanner is so unreliable that I stopped using it at all. It kept locking my banking app, it never works on login, and even when it does work it never does so on the first try.

    The camera produces over sharpened garbage. I have never seen images this heavily processed. I luckily found open camera as a replacement but it’s very outdated and not great to use. One upside of it is that instead of having the blue app icon break the material 3 theme on my home screen, I can hide it in the quick tiles…



  • Having read the book more recently than watched the movie, but isn’t this very obvious?

    The electric animals are reduced to a reference in the movie while they are a really important part of the novels world building and the different characters motivation for a higher status…

    Having now read the article too I gotta say it’s a really weird take to say the usage of blade runner for the movie and the job deckard does is inherently better is a weird take. They are my least favourite additions from the movie actually.

    The name might be easier to market but the job now being percieved as detached from the police department harms the story in my opinion.










  • As someone whose egg cracked very recently I am still unsure if Maya will be my final decision.

    It’s tough for me. The female Versions of my deadname were ones ingot bullied with my entire teen years so they have this very negative memory to them.

    First I went in a direction of names I just find nice and pretty I guess. Starting with Sofia which didn’t really fit my vibe, then Florence which is a really nice name but a bit too extra for me. Shortened it to Flora but that felt odd.

    For two months now my gf and some friends have been calling me Maya. How did I find it? I reminded of the 3D program Maya. I remembered it’s also a name. I liked the sound of it and it felt like it fit my vibe and so far that has been the case
