“Shitter’s full!”

They might be stuck with single source hardware from Motorola now, they announced recently there’s a good chance they can’t support the Pixel 11.

It’s on world so probably not, there’s a couple of instances that are more willing to allow it for egregious assholes though.

Red bean bubble tea would probably be fire.

Anecdotally, a friend of mine pirated the Crash Team Racing remake because they loved the original as a child but they were furious about the microtransactions shoved into the remake just after launch. They wanted a couch co op game to play with their roommate and that was already loaded up in their emulator so that’s what they played… roommate went on to buy the remake because it’s one of the best kart racers on PlayStation. Piracy resulted in a sale they wouldn’t have otherwise made.

Honestly I can’t tell the difference with the launcher compared to what shipped on the phone, not that I used that very much - but I upgraded from an LG G8 and the whole thing looks very familiar. The camera app feels very much like the one on my LG but I suspect someone who is more into photography than me would be frustrated by it. But the standout awful stock app has got to be the clock, the ui is clunky and feels awful to use, the tones are obnoxious, and it has all the visual flair of a C student project.

I’ve mostly just replaced it with the alarm on my smart watch.

My first smartphone had an IR blaster, that thing was amazing.

Yeah. Apparently Behind the Bastards had a two parter about them, “the racist cult behind herbal tea”. I haven’t listened to it yet.

Edit: the brand has changed hands and is now just at boring large tea company levels of evil AFAIK.

Well, that’s a new and odd fetish.

I finally replaced it but until several months ago I was watching a lot of YouTube on a ~2018 Amazon Kindle tablet… one of the reasons I replaced it was because YouTube on Firefox chugged on that thing near the end. NewPipe managed to get like six more months of semi-acceptable use out of it (I was still sick of the ads and preinstalled app-ads) until I found a good deal on a used Pixel tablet locally. A dedicated app is less bloated than the web interface, but I guess this is more of an argument for NewPipe and other third party frontends than Google’s still bloated app.

Mostly unrelated, but anyone got suggestions for repurposing an old Kindle fire? Might be interesting to see how much ADB can debloat it and maybe turn it into a retro emulation device since I don’t need a digital photo frame.

I bought a new in box old stock Pixel 9a for $350 USD a couple months ago from eBay. This was just before that Cop City protestor gave a duress password to border patrol, I wonder if that caused a bit of a spike in demand for old Pixels?

The local dispensary is trying to convince me to buy one but idk. How is the smell? I live with other people and we have a rule of no smoking in the house because we don’t want the place smelling like that.

I like moscato.

Manischewitz Concord wine is sickeningly sweet though. The only reason people drink that is TRADITION.

It’s a pretty reasonable size by US standards. If you get the free refill it’s a bit much though IMO.
