I often hear, "You should never cheap out on a good office chair, shoes, underpants, backpack etc.." but what are some items that you would feel OK to cheap out on?

This can by anything from items such as: expensive clothing brands to general groceries.

Damn right. I bought myself a redmi note 12 last year and now I am back to using my 5 year old OnePlus 6 with lineage OS as it just runs better somehow.

Got a OnePlus 6T myself, I chose it because they were supporting the new bands that T-Mobile was rolling out in 2020. Ended up working perfectly - great phone reception everywhere, haven't had issues with it at all; OnePlus was a great company. I don't see myself replacing the 6T for another 2-3 years at least.

The only real issue I have is the battery is a bit worse for wear after almost 6 years of use. The 6 and the 7 were the last true OnePlus spirit phones. The new ones are just too expensive and trying to be actual flagships.

You should try replacing LineageOS with DivestOS, it's a much more secure build of Los.

Also, the oneplus 6 is such a great phone
