I specifically looked online before replacing my last one – it didn’t just beep, it screamed at the top of its lungs.

Now a happy owner of a silent LG microwave. (You hold two buttons simultaneously to put it in silent mode)

It’s hilarious that they say

Swiss made nail clipper with two functions

Followed by not mentioning what the other function is…

Yes. IIRC it’s based on latest LTS kernel with Google patches. So it’s been “year of the Linux phone” for a while now.

It’s unfortunate that the slop they put on top of it is such a privacy nightmare. PostmarketOS is trying to change that and supports Plasma, Gnome, etc. But it’s early days yet and still rough around the edges from what I’ve been reading.

I’m going to have to kindly disagree on some points about manuals.

1. Manuals are still popular in Europe and many parts of the world, on all levels of cars.
2. I have a friend with a cheap(ish) Suzuki Swift that comes with manual transmission and adaptive cruise. Yeah it won’t change your gears, but still makes interstate trips much more comfortable.

I myself now prefer to drive auto, after moving to a city known for its traffic jam, and I am inherently lazy. So that’s one good argument from me.

Another is that if you injure one of your foot, there’s a 50% you can still drive your auto. Which was really handy that one time I dislocated my left ankle. In a manual, that chance is 0%.

Hello, fellow old person 🤝

They have been pretty good on popular technologies like python & web development.

I tried to do Kotlin for Android, and they kept tripping over themselves; it’s hilarious and frustrating at the same time.

Also turn off the adblocker at some point. Kids gotta learn what’s an ad and what’s not.

And install Windows while you’re at it. Ransomware builds character.
