Yeah, its absolutely not a space problem. The Samsung S10e has a headphone jack, a SD card slot, and has a 5.8" display. Its way smaller than the vast majority of phones today, yet it has all of these features.

I think we all know the reason apple removed it was because they can sell you the worse product for more.

Having the reader on the back was easily the best spot. The only thing I miss from my old phone.

Maybe give the universal android debloater a try. Its a pretty useful tool.

Oh, I know what you're talking about. I got a "new" phone a few months ago. Was thinking about either the pixel 4a or Samsung S10e, and went with the latter.

The cool thing is that both of these phones have LineageOS support. I didn't try it yet, but LOS sounds pretty awesome, I hope that I won't be disappointed.

What a coincidence. Just yesterday I saw a video about how Mario Galaxy works from a technical perspective, and water was one of the topics.

As it turns out, the water effect was done by manipulating the floor texture with a noise pattern to make it squiggly, and then putting a transparent layer above. It looks pretty good and doesn't need much processing power.

I just thought that was interesting.

This is really interesting, thanks for your insight. I don't really know a lot about cars, but maybe I'll give it another try one day. I will definitely keep this in mind :)

Thank you for your tips. I do remember reading the forums, but never getting the point of it. Maybe I should set my game to English instead of German, the translation for the latter is very weird.

I also had the problem of finding rivals during the night that I just couldn't beat, because they were way faster than I was. And that was the case even after upgrading every part of my car. Maybe I just made the wrong choice for the first car? Which one did you start with?

Man, I would have never expected so see someone talking about Kaido Racer here. I tried that game about 2 years ago, but never got far. I only ever had the first track to play, since I never beat the right enemies to unlock the other ones. I probably should give it another go, it seems pretty well made even if the translation is a bit funky haha.

What about you? How far are you currently?

Maybe the Yo-Kai Watch games? They are RPGs probably inspired by Pokemon, but better in basically every way.

You play as a kid befriending Yo-Kai (creatures taken from japanese folklore), while exploring a pretty cool city. Has a nice soundtrack as well. The story of the first game is kinda meh, but I think it still has that summer vibe.

The second game is a lot better, with an actual story, more stuff to do and more to explore. Definitely the better game, but playing it first might make the first one less enjoyable afterwards.

Both of these games have that childhood summer adventure vibe, even though I myself didn't spent my childhood befriending Yo-Kai.

Awesome. Just read through the whole page, seems like they made some big changes. Very nice!

That's basically what I was thinking. Maybe something like an i3 12100 would be a good choice, but that is also almost overkill. I'm personally using an 10100f, and that's not just fine for web browsing, but also gaming.

The PSU is also overkill I guess, but going with a quality PSU is a great idea nonetheless. But something like a 400W unit may be better suited for this built, since a PSU is going to be less efficient when it's just getting utilized about 20%. Even 400W may be too much.

Why are you going with the i5 though? It's absolute overkill for web browsing and office stuff. Or did I miss something in your post that explains the choice?
