You can disable the Bixby key, and pretty much ignore it altogether. At least that’s what I do on my Note 8. 

OK, now you have my attention!

I have 4. Two on bottom (27") Two on top (24"). It’s fantastic.

Rule #1 of me. Power off my laptop completely, and don’t rely on sleep.

This is the reason.

I have a 10" version of this knife that I got used. It’s a workhorse of a knife that I use when I’m afraid to use my pricier knives. It’s been tough as nails, and keeps a reasonable edge throughout. I’ve had that knife for more than 10 years, and I have absolutely no idea how long it was around before that, but damn…

That’s more of a soft-shoe.

I bought a car in 2018, and it was a Toyota. I didn’t even seriously consider a Chevrolet. Hell, I got a Corolla for less than a Cruz, and it has more features, and will likely run for 200K+ miles. The best I ever got out of a GM was around 120K, and that was after replacing the freaking engine!

How about the stripper who slipped me her number? We only had sex that one time, but I guess she wasn’t hitting on me?

I’ve always drug my heels, and never made a Quora account. Now I’m glad of that. 

If I’m going to drop $300 or more for a console that’s supposed to be a great portable experience, I expect it to be a great portable experience. 4 hours or so battery life isn’t. 

I’d at least like to see them forced to unlock the boot loaders on request. The companies literally have their devices locked out (Looking at you Amazon). I’m thinking of trashing (selling) the Fire Tablet because the damned thing’s Crunchyroll app is shit. I have a Nexus 7 that runs the Android Crunchyroll like a…

Yeah, that sucks. I’m firmly in the camp of “If I’ve bought it, it’s mine.” My last console was an XBox 360, and it’s collecting dust. (Well, technically, I guess my Steam Link counts???) I just play on my PC most of the time. I’ll probably revisit when my son gets old enough to care about consoles. But if I’m locked…

So I wonder how this will play out in regard to Tablets.

Example: I have a Kindle Fire Tablet that’s a 2015 model, and is upgraded to the latest firmware. I’m pretty sure it’s not rootable at this point. (I looked a few months back, so it’s possible there has been some sort of forward progress in the community)

Second…

It’s illegal to repair your own game console? Seriously?

I’m lucky to not have asthma (Mom did, no longer does), so it’s more of a gagging thing than anything else. If I were ever to want to do pot (I don’t, I don’t even drink these days, not from a puritanical reason, I just don’t really have time/reason) it would have to be in a consumable or maybe a vape if it had the…

Yeah, to each their own. I certainly don’t want to take away your enjoyment of the stuff, but I avoid that smell much like I avoid Bath & Bodyworks in the mall. I’ll cross to the other side of the mall aisles to avoid that mess, because it gags me when I get near one of those places. 

I’ve smelled a few long-term homes of weed smokers, and no, it’s still there.

Note: We’re talking about the ugliest dog contest here. Neither smell great. I had a computer that came in when I was fixing them for a living that had spider webs laced with cigarette smoke... Man that was some vile shit. I think I got a…
