  • It’s an underdeveloped country, everything is imported so prices are much higher than what you’d expect. The government is corrupt, there is no free public healthcare or education.

    You simply can not sustain a family without having one of your family members in a foreign country as the breadwinner. If you can’t go abroad, it’s grueling poverty for you, good luck caring for your sick parents or sending your kids to school. Even our nation’s leaders send their children abroad for studies/job.

    Yeah, the USD equivalent doesn’t mean much if your nation actually has something to offer in exchange for your low wages, but that is definetly not the case everywhere.

    That’s why “Why would anyone ever work over 60 hours?” first seemed like a sarcastic comment to me.

    Everywhere isn’t europe or america guys

    Everyone doesn’t live in 1st world countries.

    I’m in one of those places where people barely make a living even after pretty much working to death. I am still a student and I have been lucky enough to be born into a more fortunate family. I don’t have firsthand experience, so I will give an example.

    A good example is my teachers. They have a 6 to 5 job 6 days of the week, and their monthy salary is equivalent to 865USD.

    The fact that I can use the internet and tech as much as I want is a blessing














  • Yup, you are right. Mobile banking seems to be really difficult on custom ROMs and overall it just brings too many issues. I will keep using the stock ROM for now (HyperOS). I have google play services disabled, all Gapps and Xiaomi bloatware apps deleted. I feel like that’s good enough. RethinkDNS to block internet connection from apps that don’t need it. I shouldn’t let “perfect” get in the way of good.

    Do you have any other suggestions to make my phone a bit less of a data mine?
