I recall some people calling 1440p 2K and it really grinds my gears

Using a multipart downloader (like internet download manager) for archive.org downloads saturate my bandwidth (though its only 60ish mbps)

My samsung has the feature built in, but on that old phone I rooted and installed Advanced Charge Controller. (Not feasible for most people i know)

My old phone with 3GB ram was hell (granted it had a weak SoC too). Now that I have 8GB (on a midrange phone too), it's become much more enjoyable to use my phone. Everything is snappy, nothing ever freezes

Android 7 is quite old though, isn't there any custom ROM development for your phone? I know there are downsides but it's usually been fine for me

Not charging my old phone to 100%, rather to 85% or 90% has helped with battery longevity immensely. After almost 5 years in use, accubattery still shows 80% battery health, and even if that's not accurate, it still lasts quite a while. The SD625 that phone had was very sluggish though, so in the end I still replaced it

Most (recent) games have a way to reduce the render resolution, while keeping the UI at native resolution. And for those that don't, lowering the settings a bit should be enough with your gpu

PS2 and PS3 games are also abundant in Internet Archive. Using IDM (or you could use any multipart downloader you like), I can usually download from there at my max speed (which is only 65mbps but still).

 

I have noticed that this app uses quite a lot of my data, possibly because it's downloading all the images in the background.

It would be nice to have a setting to control whether images should be preloaded (with options like wifi only, always and never)

What if you write, for example, "search term site:reddit.com" ? The SEO wouldn't really matter then, would it?

I'm just gonna browse both for a while I guess. I know I'm not downloading the official app on my phone though
