I often hear, “You should never cheap out on a good office chair, shoes, underpants, backpack etc…” but what are some items that you would feel OK to cheap out on?

This can by anything from items such as: expensive clothing brands to general groceries.

    I second this, especially with Android you can breath new life into a phone by installing a custom ROM

      Damn right. I bought myself a redmi note 12 last year and now I am back to using my 5 year old OnePlus 6 with lineage OS as it just runs better somehow.

        Got a OnePlus 6T myself, I chose it because they were supporting the new bands that T-Mobile was rolling out in 2020. Ended up working perfectly - great phone reception everywhere, haven’t had issues with it at all; OnePlus was a great company. I don’t see myself replacing the 6T for another 2-3 years at least.

          The only real issue I have is the battery is a bit worse for wear after almost 6 years of use. The 6 and the 7 were the last true OnePlus spirit phones. The new ones are just too expensive and trying to be actual flagships.

        You should try replacing LineageOS with DivestOS, it’s a much more secure build of Los.

        Also, the oneplus 6 is such a great phone

      What if my phone isn’t supported by any ROMs? Is there an easier alternative to building it for your device on your own, following the given instructions, for example?

        I’m in that situation right now with my OnePlus N10, the plan is to buy a second hand device that is supported by LineageOS
