epic ratio rule

Be sure to follow the rule before you head out.
Rule: You must post before you leave.
There are few rugged phone options and I'm not fond of the environmental impact of electronics productions. I run my hardware into the ground and frequently buy used.
I mean, I get it. I built the lineage OS Updates for my last phone myself when community support ended, and only replaced it last week after the screen broke. If it hadn't, I probably would have replaced the battery, has kinda gone a bit bad after five years.
Still ordered a cheap tft screen that fits it (original amoled is too expensive to make sense) to be able to use it as a backup.
I bought new this time, but mainly because I needed a new phone quick. Also wanted one of the new Pixels with 7 year software support to put Graphene on, so I found an 8a for like 400€.
So yeah, fuck the throw-away attitude towards perfectly serviceable electronics.
