For the past several years I’ve been using a Huawei P10 phone. I’m not really enthusiastic that it is made and controlled by a Chinese company, but what isn’t at the end. I’m currently looking for a replacement since this device hasn’t had any software upgrades since 2020 and I can’t install or update many apps anymore.

I also don’t use my phone much, I find that mobile phones degrade our humanity. they turn you into a slave of the device, instead of empowering you to be a better person they enslave your senses turning most people into zombies. I try to only use it as little as I need. My current use cases for my phone are: work communication with my team and the customers, taking pictures of the shippments, map navigation, listening to music or audiobooks, checking the weather and ordering Ubers. With these in consideration it sucks that most of the recently launched phones don’t have a headphone jack anymore. Like it really fucking sucks.

I will be seeking for options in the following weeks, my budget is around 400 USD. Batteries end up dying after some years of use and you stop getting software updates so it’s really not worth to spend more in fancy flagship models. The options to be considered have to have a decent representation in Mexico, so I can get easily get support and make the warranty valid in case it’s necessary. So far it seems it might be a Samsung mid-range phone or a past year flaship model, probably refurbished since I know a couple of people that have bought refurbished without any issues. We’ll see if there are any good deals on the cybermonday that’s about to happen.

Hello dear blog. I haven’t forgot about you, I’ve been busy, in a bad way. I’ve been meditating and I have reflected that I have been putting others before me, which has become unhleathy for me. As a colateral I have stopped doing a lot of the things that I deeply enjoy and that I have always prioritized which is pushing me into a situation where I feel like I’m losing myself. I need to fix this. I need to start writing & creating again.

Every day that passes I agree more with the idea that people with slower reaction times have more fun in Apex Legends. The time that it takes to kill someone with a mouse and a keyboard is too high and most of the times if you don’t hit a perfect spray on the opponent someone else will have to shoot at him to down them. If your reaction times are faster than your team-mate’s you are gonna be the master kill assistant because you won’t get any of those kills, you will make just a ton of damage.

So there was a little bug in my blog, it didn’t really affected me much but I knew about it. It took me some weeks to care enough for me to report it in a Github issue, then it stayed in the open issue queue for 3 weeks, I then decided I would fix it myself, it took me some days to decide and implement the fix. Took some other days for the pull request to be accepted and merged. In between this time I abandoned my blog and writing all together. Congratulations to me, I got paralyzed by my perfectionist stupidity.
