@dobey I am not here to argue. I was just trying to help using the information I had being in North America and having to deal with carriers dropping bands. The problem is even bigger as the bands are dropped regionally so for one person it may work and for another it will not. It is often that low usage areas keep their old bands longer as they are not seen as worth the cost to upgrade the towers in those areas but busy places get new hardware and lose support sooner.

We are both correct. If I go on eBay and search "Nexus 5" I will not only get one compatible with US carriers because there are at least two model variations of nexus 5 so you can not just say that the Nexus 5 is compatible either. But as you say if you get a specific version of the Nexus 5 it is compatible in the US on certain carriers for a limited time.

@keneda How is cropping (and resizing) photos (and screenshots) going for you?

You took 'do not care' out of context. They do not care about downgrading like is possible with a desktop OS or AOSP projects. You can still download and install the first ever Ubuntu desktop image. You can get old versions of Lineage at least for a couple of versions back. The OS is supposed to be about giving us the choice of what we run.

Devs are rarely on this forum. They prefer to communicate via blackholes where knowlege is not indexed and searchable on the web. Like Discord, Matrix, Telegram etc etc etc. That way they get to answer the same questions repeatedly and anyone looking for the answer must ask rather than search the web.

You can publicly search years and years of Linux kernel mailing lists without any accounts and find all kinds of information on Linux development, but nothing like that for UT development because it is locked away and not indexed. Feels like a step backwards from mailing lists which were honestly terrible but still better than the blackholes being used now.

Sorry for the rant. I'll ltake my leave now.
