  • I have cables that are 15 years old and still work. Not USB-C obviously, but A-A and A-B, but also some USB-C cables that are close to 10 years old now and came bundled with some OnePlus phone (the 3 I think?).

    The key to not breaking cables is to not roll them up tightly. If you need to transport them, put them very loosely into a bag or something, and everything should be fine.

    I’m using the cheapest 2m long cables I could find online, they don’t fail if treated correctly.

    ColorOS is hot garbage unfortunately, full of Chinese bloat.

    Up until the OP11 they would ship a different release for Western markets (OxygenOS), but from the 12 that’s apparently a thing of the past.

    I’m still rocking the 10pro and love it, but absolutely dread the moment when it inevitably fails someday.



  • Yeah calibre is amazing, and also integrates anti-drm plugins nicely. Recently I’ve been reading more and more on my phone so file formats don’t matter anymore, but it’s still a great software just for managing your ebook archive.

    As a mobile reader I can also really recommend ReadEra (free and ad free), they do have a premium version, but all that adds is synchronize books via cloud storage to other devices and sync reading progress.
