Stock(ish) Android or it’s a no-go.

There was a time, but not anymore. All of the flagships are good enough for anything not worth dragging out my big Nikon

Unfortunately the phone itself is bloated and huge...

According to my sister, who lives in Chicago (in the city, not a suburb), both coyotes and rabbits are big issues, not so much cats.... (I’ve seen tons of rabbits in her neighborhood, but no cats at all)

Even outside of financial/legal improprieties, Musk has always had severe self-control problems on Twitter, and combined with his thin skin, has many times gotten into hot water by getting his knickers in a twist and tweeting something stupid.

personally i’m a Vita CFW guy now and its the best overall portable device for CFW

The launch model GBA was pretty much the perfect Game Boy, if you ask me.

I still have my SP too, but ... it has a stuck pixel (an obnoxious one too: white, in the middle of the screen...)... TT

I had the Lite, which was pretty good, basically the Pocket with a backlight (albeit a weird green-colored backlight), but like all gameboys, the big problem was the screen... LCDs from the era, just weren’t very good, and always had too little contrast.

I’m kind of scratching my head as to where all the hate is coming from.

The capacitive buttons can be problem even if you never use them.... The failure mode I usually saw was that they’d activate without user interaction, e.g. the system would suddenly turn off.

My biggest concern would be whether these can be used as simple earphones, without bloatware intrusive crap like Alexa, without privacy issues, etc... just normal bluetooth earphones.

The slim is pretty much the same thing as a standard PS4 (the launch one), the only difference is it’s physically smaller.

I mean.... isn’t that all we really wanted anyway?

The EU is in many ways a great thing, but their handling of intellectual property law has been utterly horrible, you can practically see the corporate lobbyists’ fingerprints all over it.

Ugh, that is ... not an attractive watch.

(The camp might still be in operation, I’m not sure.)

..., Nicholas Cage and ... were each offered the role of Aragorn multiple times but turned it down

There’s the Chakushin Ari (着信アリ) series of films from Japan, where the phone itself is part of the horror....

The thing is, there has to be more to it than just “we kept in touch,” because you can’t, for the most part, just contact a young child—they don’t have phones, they don’t have email, and they have limited autonomy. Any contact is necessarily going to be via their parents, or with their close cooperation.
