2 days agoI’ve got an S9+ and find most newer phones worse in some way or other. Either no expandable memory or no headphone jack. And I’ve already come to terms with losing my am/fm radio receiver and IR blaster. I intend to use this device until it becomes more expensive to repair than to just buy a new one.
Hopefully some manufacturer can notice there’s still a niche demand for these things by the time that happens.
Searx is a meta search engine, which uses google by default as well. If you’re going to use it, you should probably go into the settings and turn on a bunch of other search services as well.
One of the benefits is that if you use a public instance, it’ll act as an anonymiser for google so they can’t track you as well.
