Might be picky but if they don't return their shopping carts or just leaves it in a parking spot

I use my spare as kind of a media controller sort of speak thanks to kdeconnect and casting locally. In the near future, I want to get into emulation so that might be what the spare phone gets used for instead with the help of one of those cheap steam deck docks for USB C. As for more creative ideas, I heard some people use them as a dedicated GPS, media player or even a dashcam for their cars (not sure how the battery would hold up in the heat and whatnot). You can use it to remote view your pc or even play games from that same pc or even one you don't own through cloud gaming. You can repurpose it to be a 2fa device only, so you can keep your TOTPs and other 2fa methods separated from your main assuming the device is up to date security wise. If the camera and whatnot are decent maybe keep it as a spare camera for all your video/picture needs (online meetings, video recording, document scanner, etc...) a dock might be useful for that. If your spare has that desktop like experience when you connect it via HDMI there's nothing stopping you from using it as a really lightweight computer to do basic web stuff. These are really vague answers since I don't know what phone you have but I hope it helps get the ball rolling

Alright appreciate it I'll see what it has and comeback if I find any good channels, for a lack of a better word

How's the outdoor content like on there?

Can only share my thoughts on the matter. Got myself a brother HL-L2320D a couple of years back and I'm not unhappy with it but I would avoid it if I could time travel. Really wish it had a dedicated Ethernet port and a scanner and I urge you to look for those features, especially since scanning apps are going the subscription route nowadays. My use case is probably different from yours but I didn't print in color at all in the past idk 5 years now so you might save money on getting a monochrome one but really its up to you for that part.

Hopefully the editing portion takes off. Been using open document reader from fdroid to view and just been editing the actual ods files and such on my computer. Can't wait to see what the future has in store

Just a tad bit confused are you trying to back them up or keep your bookmarks synced across different browsers/devices? I'm a bit slow today, haha

Like age? Couldn't really afford that many luxuries growing up so my first real phone was at 17, some kind of kyocera, as for my first computer think I was 11. The computer was actually a laptop, a Sony VAIO, from a thrift store. The keyboard, trackpad, battery and speakers didn't work and the screen had damage so I got a hell of a deal on it. Didn't know how to fix it at the time, so I just used USB peripherals, connected it to my TV and threw on lubuntu, that beast lasted me for another 6 years until I went to college.

Soap easily. God the lives it saved and continues to save easily makes it the best invention imo
