Exactly.

Honesty and transparency go a long way. If we know what’s going on, we can choose to help if we have time (say it’s for a portfolio).

By how much? What is your start point?

My 2 year old Lenovo (business, not consumer) laptop takes the same time to boot as my ~4 year old phone. Though the difference is negligible.

This is what I’m talking about - we both have different experiences, and I’m sure neither of us is using a stopwatch or ensuring we’re measuring consistently every time.

Given how fast either one boots, I don’t really see the issue. Especially since phones don’t get rebooted constantly (though I reboot mine every 3-4 days because stuff I do makes it unstable). Previous phones ran for up to a month before needing a reboot.

Edit: Just did a test, 40 seconds to being logged in on my phone. Not exactly a problem.

I think we need better/standardized metrics to make any statement about Android being slow to boot.

From personal experience, it boots faster than any computer I own.

Then again, most apps on Android register for a bunch of receivers, many for “on boot” so do whatever they do for that broadcast. (Yet another reason I run rooted, to disable those receivers and keep rarely used apps hibernated).

These days I try to do both, but recognize it’s an on-going thing that will never be done.

Sometimes folder structure can be a challenge because of extensive metadata. Where do parts of a compilation go, for example. At least with metadata, music players can show the tracks correctly.

Plus if they’re links, how many still work?

You understand the value of risk management.

Made the least attractive one go first… Dammit. Haha

The 60’s…thats whats with the hats

You’re God Damn Right.gif

Ah, thank you.

Just reconcile to using 1 or 2 gen older phones.

I don’t get it.

Haha, well done.

Nah, it’s 2 different things.

I could add pictures in the shopping list app, I just don’t want them there.

Instead I slowly took pictures of everything I own. And when something new comes in, I take a pic of that. I have a folder for inventory photos.

Those photos are only a just-in-case for insurance.

I vaguely recall a desktop mode phone around 2012. Not sure if it was DeX, may have been.

There’s also the insurance angle.

Heaven forbid you have a fire or flood from a water line break. Insurance companies aren’t your friend and will shaft you if they can - I’ve seen it happen with friends.

So now I have an inventory (and pictures). I have about 4x the stuff in my place than the average person in a house this size, so the defaults from insurance would make me lose lots of money. Once they see an exported spreadsheet with counts and dates (plus the pictures), they’ll cut a check and not argue.

Plus the inventory helps me keep track of what I have so I don’t buy it again.

I have 800+ items in my home inventory list. Lots of different tools, household stuff, seasonal, and cooking stuff.

I used to be able to keep track just by having a few containers, but then I started forgetting what container something was in.

Now containers are labelled with a container name and list of what’s in it, my inventory app (just a shopping list app) indicates the container name.

Edit: You’d be surprised how much stuff you actually have until you start inventorying it. It’s a tedious task.

AutoIt. Just have it play a Windows ding sound every 4min, but also set the volume to zero first.

Have the script launch at login/startup.

AutoIt doesn’t require an install, you can simply copy the script engine to a folder with your script. Been a while, but you may be able to compile your script with the engine too, so you have a stand-alone script.

Or make a silent, 1/4 second long wav/mp3, and use that to ensure you don’t hear anything.

Just verifying, after enabling subnet routing, did you create the routes (it’s in the docs for subnet router).

I have the same problem you do - for some reason TS will “steal” the route, even when correctly configured.
