Downloading/torrenting kids cartoons

Hey all. noob-ish pirate here. Skipping long winded post. I’m struggling to find sources to download/torrent kids cartoons. Some are easy, but I’m looking for paw patrol and it’s scarce on 1337. The more modern stuff and the super popular stuff are a little easier though. Not really any information on the Wiki about this...

The Fairphone 5 is a little more repairable and much more modern (www.theverge.com)

I'm having a tough time choosing my next android smartphone, any ideas?

I would be okay with a phone that has good custom ROM support or is supported for a long time. Since I would likely flash a new operating system on it after it runs out of android updates. I have been looking at the Pixel 7 / 7a and will take them into consideration. Thank you for your input!

My previous phone I dropped I was using a phone case that was not slim and a screen protector, but it still broke from a short fall. That is what I mean by durability. Maybe build quality or quality control is what it really is, but whatever it is I would prefer to be able to make cheaper mistakes in the future.

I intentionally stayed away from those brands because I appreciate privacy, and from the little bit I heard about those brands I got the idea that they do not respect user data. It is also why I refuse to use iOS. Pixels are okay because I can install Graphene or something on them though. I will look into those phones regardless, so thank you for the input.

The s23 looks appealing due to the integration of a pull tab for the battery as opposed to glue. I will look into this. Thank you.

How long did you have your 5 before it became unusable?

inconspicuouscolon, 9 months ago

Your suggestion is a good one. I am concerned about purchasing it second hand because there would be no safety net if it breaks, which is what happened to my secondhand Pixel 5a soon after purchase. I am taking your suggestion into consideration. Thank you!

I am sorry for being unclear. I would be willing to pay up to $500 if a phone suited my needs very well, but I am aiming for a lower price. I do not need every feature, just the important ones. Thank you for your input, I will check out the Zenfone!

You grasped what I was trying to convey well and I appreciate that. I will definitely look into the Zenfone as far as repairability goes, since I think that a repairable phone with a few years of android updates might be what I need. Thank you for your input.

I like the Zenfone specifications, but when I watched a teardown of it it appears to be a pain to repair. It will still be on my list, but I do not think that is what I will go for. Thank you!!

The Xperia 10 V has expandable storage, and I have a microsd for my music so that is not an issue. I will look at the 10 III and form opinions on it today. eSim is not important to me.

Thank you for the information about LineageOS. I am unfamiliar with it, I thought it would be a good idea since I was using GrapheneOS on my Pixel and I liked it far more than any stock I’ve experienced.

Wow. Nokia is fulfilling prayers now apparently.

In seriousness, this is a very promising device. I’ll likely wait a bit after release before pulling the trigger on this phone, but honestly it’s probably what I’m going to go with. As far as rooting goes, I suppose that’s up to the XDA community to decide. The 2 year android updates is pretty short, I agree. But for the price, I think that it would be a good option regardless.

Thanks for following up on this as well!

Whoops, I think they meant software support, like how long the phone is updated for. Hopefully this still helps.

It’s against the rules to post recommendation requests on !android That is a good idea, however I have received far, far more responses than I expected to (I am new to lemmy and I have not really posted on social media) so for now I will abstain. Thank you for the comment!

The storage limitation is a shame, but if it fits all my other criteria I could look past it. However, I question the durability and battery life of pixels. I have heard a lot online that pixels have bad battery life. And my pixel 5a had what I thought was adequate protection, but it failed to withstand a short drop. Despite these biases a used Pixel 6 / Pixel 6a is still on my radar.

I appreciate your input.

I almost dismissed it but your enthusiasm is keeping it on my radar. Thanks!

Fortunately, I have scaled back my paranoia over the past few years. However I would like to check exactly how much data collection is going on and how much I can remove in the settings and how much I can remove from the baked in stuff.

Thank you for the input!

I did not purchase the OnePlus as it was a hand-me-down. The Fairphone 4 is a bit expensive, but I am considering the investment. Your recommendation about the A14 is a good one and I will strongly consider it against similar priced devices. Thank you!

inconspicuouscolon, 9 months ago

Definitely a strong contender due to the replaceable battery and other parts. If I cannot find a phone that performs as well in my ideal price range this is probably what I will end up doing. Thank you for the input!

I actually got my Pixel 5a on Swappa. It died ~3 months after I purchased it, so now I am hesitant to purchase a phone used as you cannot return it. I will take your suggestions into consideration though, thank you!

The Fairphone for a long time was sort of my “dream phone” due to the philosophy of repairing it. However recently I have stumbled across the Rog Phone 7 by Asus. It does not have the repairability that I desire, and it is too expensive for my current financial situation. But the battery far surpasses Fairphone’s and although it is not as readily repairable, a teardown video reassured me that i would be able to at the very least attempt diagnostics. Also, it is a newer model so I know there will be support for it for a while. I am not completely convinced that it suits my needs better than the fairphone, and both are too expensive.

Perhaps by the time I can comfortably afford one or the other, the winner will be more clear.

inconspicuouscolon, 9 months ago

This is definitely an option. However the past few years have not been kind as far as repairability goes, and that would be a must for a used phone. Newer phones are starting to add options for self repair but the majority are overkill for me.

Thank you for the suggestion!!
