I'm not poor but phones do not interest me in the slightest, so while all the stupid people participate in some sort of mobile phones arm race, I just keep what I've got until it breaks.
Well, it happened last week and all the dorks at work were all "OMG you have to wait until the Pixel 8 Pro is announced!* or "Dude right the iPhone Bully XL Max 69 is only £1200".
Me being clever just ordered the cheapest mid-range Sony I could find because rdrama.net is actually far more lightweight than a lot of people realise so I don't need heaps of pointless power that uses the battery up in a morning.
Anyway, you guys, it has now been 48 hours since I last charged my phone and guess what percent my battery is on?
59%!
Incredible.
Lesson for everyone: buy mid-range phones. They're better.
Thanks for reading my blog.

I wouldn't buy mid-range modern slop - buy top-of-the-line slop that's a few years out of date. The r-slurs that buy a new phone every year for no fricking reason will balk at a phone from, say, 2020 - even if it was considered hot shit when it released. You can get most for under $300 on ebay ime.
I only buy a new phone when my previous one has become useless because EVERY FRICKING APP UPDATED WITH 600 NEW BACKEND NODE PACKAGES OR SOME SHIT AND NOW I NEED MORE PROCESSING POWER TO RUN A FRICKING BASIC WEBPAGE

"software dev" is so obviously going to become some low status script kiddie indian shit job it's not even funny. There's no requirement for talent anymore it's just how fast you can put theory to code, performance be darned. When 80% of your field is simping for shit like Agile and Scrum you know it's fricking over and it's brownnosers all the way up.
Anyone reading this, Specialize in something mildly challenging and get out before it's too late. Don't say I didn't warn you
