    I own a nothing 3a. Love the phone. Software is very close to AOSP concept and was able to uninstall immediately all the apps I didn’t want, and they don’t come back with upgrades.

    Overall great built, good matherials, great software. Don’t care a bit for the fancy ldes, and they don’t get in the way.

    I would recommend, but the CMF1 is old, unless you get a very good deal…

    This nothing phone I own is the first phone ever I don’t feel the need to root for any reason.







  • After a long research to replace my old phone, I landed a Nothing Phone 3a. Last July bought for some 200€ and been happy ever since.

    Plain android, not bloated, able to uninstall all crap and bootloader is not blocked and can be unlocked without phoning home.

    Not related to the company at all, just an happy customer.

    Main defects, lacks 3.5mm jack and not small at all.

    Yes I have such a cable. Run inside a pvc pipe, partially underground but mostly on the fence. Its about 80m, terminates into a 5 port switch to bring PoE to a few external cameras and a OrangePi zero running my pons sensors and automations.

    Addendum: while 100m is the theorical maximum, I have successfully run much longer cables (up to 150m, uninterrupted cable) with p2p between two switches, and did work just fine, so… Go for it.

    Also, while the standard recumends to avoid cascading switches, again I am proof that it isn’t an issue to have multiple switches in cascade on the same network. Not old style hubs, of course. So adding switches in the middle would increase distance even more
