Sony Xperia 1V

I had that only when they got damaged, but they easily get damaged

I have had similar issues with USB-C ports but avoid wireless charging as it often causes damage to the battery via excess heating (particularly if not perfectly aligned). I'd give up a 3.5mm jack for a redundant USB-C.

There are but they are not reliable, even from reputable companies. I had both the ones I tried break very quickly, and moved back to requiring a headphone jack after that.

Shopping local reduces the harm Amazon can and is doing.

It's a political decision with regards to consolidation of power. Do you want Bezos and his small group to have such significant power over the direction of both your local region and on a global scale? Their interest is just money, whereas people who live in a region typically care about it beyond that.

All those tax breaks they get? Because they are so big they can bargain at that level. Supporting Amazon takes away from local services as a result.

The way I look at it, shopping with Amazon is often due to laziness (often cheaper or better from elsewhere) and perhaps you get a discount upfront (again, it's not hard to shop around and find comparable or better prices) but there are hidden long-term costs.

I moved from Splitwise to Splid. I wish I had a FOSS alternative too.

Personally I don't mind initial registration, so long as they don't continue to get data, so I'm not sure. There is some development for Garmin connectivity that I'm hoping comes to fruition.

I did like the old amazfit bip and that could be used without registration using the Notify for Amazfit & Zepp app, from what I can remember. I never used it with Gadgetbridge though, and it didn't last for very long before dying (cheap build quality). It isn't much of a fitness tracker either.

Ah sorry, I missed a bit in your post - it's correction during typing only. Upping this setting could help but I suspect you want something else

Heliboard isn't perfect but is an openboard fork that has spell check, is getting active development, and is on F-droid. There's even a correction sensitivity setting. It's the first time I've been able to move away from Swiftkey.

Look into Gadgetbridge, as that allows the bypass of proprietary apps for some trackers

I've used a larger version for cold brew in the past and it worked well. It was a bit annoying to clean out but cold brew batches arent every morning so it was fine.

My preference is now an aeropress with a fabric filter. I use this above a metal filter with the Prismo attachment (metal to stop the fabric clogging the valve). The fabric circle is small enough to be easy to clean, freeze and thaw. I usually only rinse it (much easier with a small flat disk) before chucking it in the freezer but I use Cafitza to clean it every few months to remove any built up oils (just gotta give it a few soaks in boiling water afterwards to ensure its not holding on to the cleaning agent!).
