To be fair, I would also be upset if someone consolidated their toolbox with mine. I am single though so that would make that a whole lot weirder

That’s why I put my phone on my desk over night instead of next to my bed. When the alarm goes, I have to get up to turn it off and at that point I might as well get dressed. Oooor hit snooze and literally fall back into my bed

This might be a bit overkill for what you want but you could try using a selfhosted music server like navidrome and streaming to your phone. I use symfonium on on phone which can be configured to request the streamed music to be transcoded to a smaller size for streaming from mobile network or for caching it on your phones storage for offline listening.

Given that symfonium supports a lot of self hosted media providers from which to pull, you could also try sharing your music locally using samba. I’m not sure if the transcoding still works in that case though (it would obviously have to be done on your phone)

Works great for me on my pixel 7 but you have to be aware that you loose some stuff too unfortunately.

Not all banking apps work and payment using your phone is completely out.

If you care about it, the health stuff also isn’t available

I miss the bluetooth option for sharing files :(

It’s rare that I actually want to use it and it was never anywhere near fast but it was a nice thing to have in my opinion and I am disappointed that it was removed

Edit: Nevermind, it’s still there. Maybe I was blind the last couple of times I looked for it

Yes but do they present a stripped copy or strip it from the original?
