 First time using #coracle and #amber on the new phone. Had to install xapo with google and the thing went spaz until it got location. Pfft...

Anyway, it's a no radios device now. Got my coracle and need osmand and done. I guess at a pinch I may sometimes use the wifi but only wifi and never 4G... It's not got 5G either anyway. 
 oof, i hate typing on a qwerty keyboard even touch based, can't remember where anything is, been literally 20 years since i typed that shit

so anyhow, coracle seems to be a bit laggy especially at starting up... the wifi is working great... magisk comes with the charge controller and is set by default how i want it - stops charging at 70%, so i hopefully will avoid having a bloated battery again from long term plugged in and idiotic android default settings that assume you ever take it off teh charger

well i will take it off the charger sometimes but not that often, and it will never have a mobile network sim in it

got the wireguard hooked up now too

win

took way longer than i had hoped, really hard to put xapo on a phone without google shit turned on

they probably should think about making that shit optional, ya know lol 
 what keyboard layout do you use? 
 on the phone, same as on the pc - dvorak - i'm so used to using it now i'm really slow and clumsy with a touchscreen qwerty

you kinda get used to knowing that all the vowels are in one line on one side and most of the keys you press are in the middle row 
 oh that was before configuring the new one 
 xapo? 
 yes, the first actually decent bitcoin neobank

they even have lightning inbound and outbound, they just KYC and demand location info - though having said that, they also accepted merely my GPS data as acceptable location info before and i'm not at that address and they aren't telling me there's a problem with that... so as far as EU authoritaah is concerned i'm still on the other side of the island 
 makes sense if you say it like that
