Oh that’s right - it was right on the cusp of 4g. Thanks for that.
Wow, that’s a pretty hamfisted approach, but they did the best with what they had I guess.

I love that this appears to have the option of installing an extended battery. I had one on my HTC Incredible, and got one for my wife too when she got her HTC Thunderbolt. The Thunderbolt had CRAP battery life because of the drain from the new 3g 4g radio, and the Inc was so small… I probably wasn’t helping the battery situation with my custom ROMs. But we didn’t mind a bit of extra bulk in order to achieve a full day+ of heavy use, and had a spare battery we could bring with us if needed, too.
And then the sleek, gorgeous HTC One m7 came out and after only one generation, sealed in batteries were the norm for every other phone I’ve ever owned. Now, the battery life wasn’t so bad - and so I didn’t mind, but all these years later I wish it were at least an option on the market.
Pretty sure you shouldn’t use WordPress - it’s an aging platform with serious security vulnerabilities. 😬
It’s good to know I have options! Aster is already the singular solution on Windows as far as I can tell, and for good reason I figure… this is a pretty fringe need. But at least I know I can potentially replicate the setup on Linux - I’ll for sure look in to that.
I’ve watched the other Linus (the one with the tech tips) on a month long daily driver challenge for Linux and I just can’t bring myself to dive in voluntarily for all the headaches and incompatibilities I know I’ll uncover - those presented, and about a thousand others sure to come up for each individual user.
I used to LOVE flashing roms on my devices. Started with my PSP, installing CFW so I could install homebrew. Then it was my phone and I loved the flexibility to do things Android couldn’t do or didn’t want me to be able to do. It was basically a hobby all unto itself, checking for new feature updates, sometimes taking a nightly build to fix a bug, finding a problem and deep diving for the right root application to fix it, whatever the case. Now I do too much with my phone to have a broken user created 5g radio, or GPS is currently broken in this ROM, or my homescreen glitches out when I switch apps rapidly. I just don’t have the patience or time for my phone that I need to be able to trust to work - to not work, and good luck finding the root cause.
Same sort of deal with my PC. I already have a VERY unusual setup to begin with, using Aster v7 to multiseat both my wife and myself on the same computer. It’s over specced to the point that we can pretty easily play games simultaneously without issue. Aster SOMETIMES presents usability issues, but nothing like what Linux would do. And while I haven’t investigated it, I’d bet that it would be a real struggle to replicate this setup in Linux. But my weird edge case aside, I’m fully capable and yet completely disinterested in converting because I just need it to work, for everything I’m doing, and without a 2 hour rabbit hole on why I can’t install this one dependency I need.
I have a couple bootable flash drives laying around and have dualbooted computers in the past. But I just don’t think I could fully migrate today.
I bought a pro license because of basic features being stripped out of home over time - here’s to hoping it’s ONLY home licenses that get abused.
I understand your perspective, but you were a victim of a fucked up system and continue to be. I agree that giving up tipping would require us to also support the workers getting a fair wage. But the whole rest of the world has proven your “shitty service” theory entirely wrong - they are able to pay food service workers properly AND give great service, and I suspect the whole world would chime in with a wealth of experience. And not paying slave labor wages doesn’t drive the cost of goods up as much as the capitalists would lead you to believe. Again, proven by the entirety of Europe.
Maybe for the rest of us, but his sycophant making this plea to the board thinks he’s invaluable and they must keep him around. That’s an awful lot of money to make working a part time job.
Thanks for the context - that’s fascinating.
This is why we’ve never seen or heard aliens out in the universe. Every civilization burns itself out faster than they can solve long distance space travel. Maybe the Great Filter is just the inherent nature of sentient beings. It would make me feel better to know that every other civilization to ever exist in the universe also destroyed itself in this manner, but maybe we are a special level of stupid.
Every non-PC, non-web browser on your network also reaps the benefit.
Well to work with heavy machinery, you have to be 18. You’ve clearly never met a 14 year old, but 4 years and puberty at that age make a BIG difference. These children were very obviously, well, children.
Bioware didn’t make Starfield - that was Bethesda. Maybe you were thinking of Anthem? And fair point there.
I would happily move from the US south to Ireland. My wife and I went for our 10 year anniversary and it was the most magical place I’ve ever been. Freezing cold temperatures at times during our visit and still, the hills were still lush emerald green, the loughs glistened in the sunlight, we walked some incredible river trails and crossed stone bridges, walked and lived amongst the ancient history of castles and forts all across the north and through the center of Ireland. We spent 4ish hours a day driving from castle hotel to castle hotel, I never expected the drive to be one of my favorite parts of the trip. Deep forest to tall swaying grassland; sheer cliffs, hills, and mountains; rivers, lakes, and the sea. Just utterly, unbelievably beautiful. I think we’d sell our house and all our worldly possessions to live in a shack, if we could emigrate tomorrow.
Toss in there the benefit of living in the EU, but in reach of the British and Scottish countryside… Leave behind hidden US sales taxes for clearly defined pricing with VAT, ditch the nightmare of the US system for the EU healthcare system, there’s so much else to love.
Well that’s not classically how DND works - it certainly didn’t on my Note 20 Ultra. Maybe you had Google digital wellbeing settings turned on? Or focus mode or something of that nature, such that when the office is in DND notifications are held?
YouTube Music allows you to upload up to 20,000 tracks to your personal storage for free. And then you can just pre-download anything you want or you have anytime access to just stream your whole library, without the need to preload your device as if it were 2003.
I don’t read it so cynically, yes it’s in their best interest and a very smart play, but I don’t read malice into it though. Good business move, but also good for the communities and projects they’re contributing to.
Oh yeah also all arcade games with prizes are rigged. All of them. We literally have a setting that determines how often the game will allow wins.
One time on vacation, my little sister and I found a crane game in the game room of our hotel that was clearly over tuned - basically every button press was another win, it was great. We still remember it fondly. A stupid thing, but even at that age we knew these are usually scams and we we’re stoked to just basically get cheap toys.
Yeah, I had that one too actually - the Moto Z. I rather liked the feel of it with nothing on the back at all, but there were swappable magnetic plates you could put on it if you didn’t like the feel. I never bought into the Moto mod ecosystem but was definitely into the idea of the battery pack and IIRC, there was a full camera body with a zoom lense you could buy too.
