The internet never forgets… your private information.

There are 2 types of companies, the ones who have been hacked the the ones which don’t know they’ve already been hacked g about to be hacked.

If you’re curious about the company Clearview AI, check out the book “Your face belongs to us” by Kashmir Hill. It’s an interesting read.

The side mounted finger print reader / power button on my old Sony Xperia XZ 1 Compact was great. Wish more phones had side mounted FP sensors.

I have it on my Asus Zenfone 8 too. Sad to tink that my next phone upgrade will likely not have the 3.5mm port anymore. :(

If Apple had kept the 3.5mm port, we’d all probably still be having it on our phones and not have to deal with flimsy adapters.

I still have the CD. Getting it to run might be the tricky part. :p

I enjoyed Uplink as well.

Civilization 4, Dungeon Keeper, Black & White just to name a few. See you next year. :p

Asus Zenfone 8 purchased outright in Australia. App does not exist on my phone.

I used to, but ever since I started using a Sony Xperia Z3 Compact followed by the XZ1 Compact and now the Zenfone 8, ive never rooted it since it’s not as easy to do so compared to my old Nexus 4.

Anime Cast works for me. Sometimes I have to try different servers but I cn deal with that.

I’ve just started deleting my stuff. Their mass delete doesn’t seem to work and it looks like i need to do it one at a time manually. Argh.

Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact.

The very last true compact phone with a 3.5mm jack, FM radio, in-device noise cancelling (only with proprietry 5-pole earphones) and hardware camera shutter button.

Oh, not to forget tool-less sim tray removal. This phone had it all.

My thoughts about the removal of the buds too. Really shitty move. Pretty sure people will still buy the buds if they like it even if the phone still has the 3.5mm jack.

I would offer a suggestion “it’s not that I have nothing to hide; it’s that i have nothing i want you or anyone else to see”.

Both may sound similar but in reality quite diffierent.

I actually upgraded to the Zenfone 8 from the XZ1C. I still miss the size as well as the dedicated camera shuttrr button. I also find it amazing that Sony went with a pull out sim tray. No more needing to poke a small pin just to eject it.

I too would like a smallerphone as well. Bringing back the 3.5mm jack would be a bonus, but a smaller phone is higher on my priority list. Even better if it’s the same size as my old Sony Xperia XZ1 Compact.

I use GPS Logger as well. Everything is saved locally in a kml file. The trick is to find an optimal settings which gives you enough data points but doesn’t kill your batteey in the process.
