Hey, I just wanted to get back to you with an update and a reassessment. Due to insurance issues and them giving me the run around. I would not recommend a foldable device a carrier will try to screw you at every corner if you have any issues and make you jump through hoops of flaming shit just to get a replacement device. I realized these are the perfect rich person toy, that you will need to get the upgrade every year or risk insurance claim hell.

If you get a foldable, have a backup potato phone, keep your backup stuff there and work profile.

That being said, I will likely be getting a replacement Tuesday.

Oh just remembered Stremio Android app with the Torrentio addon!

Other than running a Jellyfin server for them or running Firefox with this extension on the Android TV, maybe a VPN with adblocking capabilities, I don't have one to recommend though or a maybe a Pi hole. I'm not sure if Adguard DNS will work with that.

It's not for everyone, but I love having a real phablet in my pocket. It is basically like carrying a full computer in your pocket; be it for videos or pictures or just browsing Lemmy, I like having the bigger screen. I am more of a power user of the device and run and control my other computers using Termux shell and SSH.

The outer screen I wish was a bit wider. I wish Samsung would put the fold at 90 degrees from where it is currently, so the outer screen would be shorter and fatter, which would make it more usable.

Sound quality is quite good, or good enough for me (not much of an audiophile), it can get louder than my partner's phone when we have volume battles. I have not heard any audio distortion from it being turned up all the way, either.

Samsung Galaxy Fold 4 and Samsung Galaxy Flip 3. And thank you.

I have the Fold 4, I've been using it as a daily driver since 2022. I love the thing, but just last night I had my first problem with it, I have a hardware failure that when I close my phone it turns it off. I am luckily still under the T-Maybe insurance; I have to go poke them with a stick later.
My partner has the flip 3, still going strong.

Overall I love the device, but I recommend never having a foldable without insurance.

The same way you put together a killdozer.

This isn't the first special council in the United States there have been many of these in the past, with the first one in 1875. Throwing this out would not likely hold up in court due to the long trail of use in the past.

Just a reminder, minimum wage in Pennsylvania is still $7.25.

I bet he will be boxed bulletproof glass, just like he was in his January 6th speech from here on out.
