  • I have the 10vi. It’s pretty good for the money I paid (~300€). The UI is very close to plain android which is nice and doesn’t have a billion extra apps pre-installed like Samsung. The battery has been great so far. MicroSD and headphone jack are great features and I think you can also unlock the bootloader.

    Having said that, some issues I’ve had that may or may not exist in other versions:

    • The lock screen is buggy as hell, way too many accidental fingerprint unlocks and camera bugs that have persisted across updates.
    • In Europe (different countries) it’s only ever gotten 5G once.
    • Sony is doing something weird with its camera hardware. Any apps that try to use the camera outside the official app are having issues focusing and one app was actually crashing. This is not an everyday issue but would be a problem if you want to use a third party camera app.

    I’d still recommend it but maybe try to find a discount cause Sony overcharges a lot.










  • If it’s something specific like what you mentioned, just search for relevant articles with lists of recommendations. For more general themes you can go to goodreads (or similar), find some reviews you agree with on other books you liked and see what else the reviewers liked. Or do the same with people you know if you have similar tastes. You would think LLMs would be good at recommending books but every time I’ve tried with chatgpt the results were pretty bad but YMMV.




  • Greek: formal you is usually used with older people (but not family), teachers when you are a student or higher ups in general. Wherever I’ve worked we used the informal form but I don’t know how common this is. Also retail workers typically use the formal form with customers so I do the same with them but many people do not. It seems to be slowly going away as a feature.

    Spanish: I’d use the formal a bit less than in greek but it depends on location. In Spain it seems pretty rare but some central and south American countries use it much more.
