They’re both toddlers, about a year apart. The littler one is still into the younger target audience content and she is very picky! Thank you for the suggestion <3

The words we let her mispronounce because it’s so cute is balloon (Babloon!) and Restaurant (Resternot!!)


LMAO It’s better left alone but you can’t help but need to make sure it’s complete. I’m the same about my music, if anything is improperly tagged or named inconsistent I fix it- it’s compulsory I swear.


Does TheRarbg have the same aggregate of content that Rarbg did, or is it a migration sort of deal? Thank you for sharing.


Love Bluey and especially Hilda! I’ll check the other’s out, thank you. Definitely ideal if I can wean them off of the more annoying kids shows… The little man is into Spider-Man and Sonic right now, and the littler ma’am LOVES Frozen and Skye from Paw Patrol.


Well the torrents are there, I just can’t access them, gives me some weird screen. And if I manually convert the torrent to a download link through real debrid, it says it’s not allowed to do that or something. But torrenting it myself works fine.


OOOOO I don’t know why I haven’t tried this before! Guess I thought 1137 was an adequate search engine? This is seriously awesome, thanks for showing me.


Oh nooooo!!! I’ve definitely had that before… Always regret it when I delete media files, I just save them all now and if I HAVE to save space I compress them.


Hey hey, great suggestion. I do actually have stremio + torrentio + real debrid set up, works really well! Thing is, I’ve been getting some errors with Real Debrid on Paramount+ kids shows. Seems like they’re cracking down on those torrents or something? Anyway those I’ve just been downloading manually instead, but it’s made me want to download more stuff just in case the streaming setup becomes less consistent :p


Downloading/torrenting kids cartoons
Hey all. noob-ish pirate here. Skipping long winded post. I'm struggling to find sources to download/torrent kids cartoons. Some are easy, but I'm looking for paw patrol and it's scarce on 1337. The more modern stuff and the super popular stuff are a little easier though. Not really any information on the Wiki about this stuff. I see plenty of *streaming* resources. I guess if it comes down to it I can record it? I don't know the best way to do that, certainly doesn't seem ideal.. I'll update my post to reflect my levels of success :)

I never quite understood the headphone jack thing. It’s a nifty thing to have but an adapter is a one time purchase. It seems like nowadays lack of headphone jack is just a minor inconvenience.


This is definitely an option. However the past few years have not been kind as far as repairability goes, and that would be a must for a used phone. Newer phones are starting to add options for self repair but the majority are overkill for me.

Thank you for the suggestion!!


The Fairphone for a long time was sort of my “dream phone” due to the philosophy of repairing it. However recently I have stumbled across the Rog Phone 7 by Asus. It does not have the repairability that I desire, and it is too expensive for my current financial situation. But the battery far surpasses Fairphone’s and although it is not as readily repairable, a teardown video reassured me that i would be able to at the very least attempt diagnostics. Also, it is a newer model so I know there will be support for it for a while. I am not completely convinced that it suits my needs better than the fairphone, and both are too expensive.

Perhaps by the time I can comfortably afford one or the other, the winner will be more clear.


I actually got my Pixel 5a on Swappa. It died ~3 months after I purchased it, so now I am hesitant to purchase a phone used as you cannot return it. I will take your suggestions into consideration though, thank you!


Definitely a strong contender due to the replaceable battery and other parts. If I cannot find a phone that performs as well in my ideal price range this is probably what I will end up doing. Thank you for the input!


I did not purchase the OnePlus as it was a hand-me-down. The Fairphone 4 is a bit expensive, but I am considering the investment. Your recommendation about the A14 is a good one and I will strongly consider it against similar priced devices. Thank you!


I’m having a tough time choosing my next android smartphone, any ideas?
I am picky about the features I look for in a smartphone. Hopefully this post can be a good resource for myself and others who have similar preferences. For reference, I am using a Oneplus 7 Pro with a non-functional camera and flashlight. # Very important features ----------- ## Battery life It should handle a day's worth of general usage before charging. Heat kills batteries, so decent heat dissipation is important too. ## Durability **or** repairability I recently bought a Google Pixel 5a, a phone I greatly enjoyed before I dropped it 5 feet and the display decided its work was done. My top priority is to have a useable device for ~5 years before needing an upgrade. ## Storage I like storing my music collection (30 GB and growing) and expandable storage would save me from having to carry a DAP (mp3 player). Without expandable storage it should have 256 GB storage. ## Price Electronics aren't meant to last a long time; I'd prefer devices costing ~300 USD, but I would gladly pay a little more for reliability. ## Microphone Please let me be intelligible on phone calls. Please? Pretty please? ## Software updates **or** custom ROM support OS updates for 3+ years or resources on [XDA](https://www.xda-developers.com/) for flashing a custom ROM. Ideally LineageOS. # Would be nice ----- ## Root capability It's a bit dated nowadays, but I really do appreciate having that extra bit of control. This also ties into custom ROM support. ## Fingerprint Sensor I loved the dedicated fingerprint sensor on my Pixel 5a. Power button fingerprints are worse, but better than nothing. Typing in my passcode every time is a bit of a pain. ## Speakers Preferably dual front facing stereo speakers. Having some decent output for videos when I don't have anything else with me would be nice. ## OLED/AMOLED display Makes stuff WAY easier to see when the sun's all sunny. ## Processing power I don't play phone games. I watch a lot of media and I message people. Must be capable of simultaneously running muliple apps and background services. ## IPA ratings It'd be pretty sick if I could bring it with me in the shower without worrying about water damage. ## Fast charging Won't always use it, but it'd be great to have. # Cutting corners ---- ## Screen resolution I don't need a 4K display. Hell, I don't need a *1080p* display. If it cuts costs, 720p is just fine so long as it looks okay. ## Size It can be big or small, thick or thin. Not picky. ## Other features I don't need Headphone jack, NFC, 5G, wireless charging --- The phones I am looking at right now are as follows - Sony Xperia 10 V - No custom ROM support, long term durability is unclear. - Fairphone 4 - Slightly out of price range. - Samsung Galaxy XCover6 Pro - Way out of price range. I would appreciate any input or questions. EDIT: As of 4/13/24, I decided to pick up a Samsung S20 FE. It's been treating me well, and for the low low price of $280 NEW, I'm very pleased with what I got. My complaint is that the vibrate is seriously weak. Use it on sound mode if you don't want to constantly miss notifications.
