Pixel 8a. Dahil lang naman sa GOS kaya gumamit ako ng pixel. May backup phone Poco X4 GT ako which I use mainly for gaming. Ig ill wait para sa later model ng Motorola na may GOS kase sabi ng leaks around 1.5k usd daw ung model nila na compatible sa GOS. No plans as of the moment to upgrade kase both my phones is enough para sa needs ko. Maybe in half a decade na.

    Can confirm na gumagana ung Landbank, Metrobank, Maribank, Gcash at Maya sa GOS. Although gamit ko ung workaround para sa Metrobank, that is ung Huawei Appgallery version ininstall. Kailangan kasi ng Play Integrity ung play store na version.

    I think this is a little bit outdated at least for the Philippines. Goverment documents now primarily use A4 to comply with ISO standards. Some places such as schools may sometimes use the letter size (commonly referred to as short size here) but A4 is now much more common.

    I got a Pixel 8a more than a year ago to use GrapheneOS. Its performance is somewhat similar to my Poco X4 GT but it runs a little bit hotter specially when running a private space. Last month it died immediately while I was using it. The phone immediately turned off without any warning. The problem was found to be a hardware one and that some component (i guess it was a transistor) was shorting in the board. Luckily there was a shop near me that was able to repair it.

    If it weren't for GOS and maybe for its camera, I would not use and recommend pixels with its very mediocre performance and possible hardware problems.

    I have an HP victus with linux installed which I use for work. It is heavy and cumbersome to carry always and thus I decided to get a lightweight laptop with good battery life. I was considering to get an M chip macbook and to install linux but later found out that HDMI out function is broken at that time. Instead I opted to get a second hand Thinkpad X1 carbon and it served me well since. My only gripe is that it only has 8 gb of ram that can't be upgraded. If you prioritize battery life, the M chip macbooks really is your only choice but if you have some time to tinker with linux, you can maybe get around 10 hrs of battery life at least for me with my Thinkpad.

    Im also a bit surprised by this survey. While I personally believe that the US is the biggest threat to the world, I found it hard to believe that other Filipinos would not say its China. The whole country is so drunk on western propaganda. There's even that news recently here about launching a Tomahawk missile and has been praised by virtually almost everyone even by some academics. The US is highly favored here. Even with the Iran war and the energy crisis, a lot of Filipinos put the blame only on Trump instead of the whole American imperial machinery.

    Yeah, a lot of kakampinks see themselves as morally and intellectually superior to others to the point of alienating the other voters. Some of them would even call others, specially the DDS, as "bobo" without even trying to understand the material reality of these people. The content creators are really guilty of this. There's even that recurring idea floating among those circles on only restricting voters based on some arbitrary measure of education. ROFL with these people.
