Yeah, some are. It's just unfortunate that you frequently have to pre-order, fund a kickstarter, or roll the dice with some unknown Chinese brand that may or may not ever see a software update/3rd party ROM support. That, or they're more expensive because of the smaller production runs.

I really like the PlanetCom ones, but they're a bit pricey and have some quirks that would probably make them not a good fit for me as a daily driver. Not sure I'd want to pay those prices for a secondary device.

I did order a Minimal Phone the other day (July batch), so hopefully should have that toward the end of July/early August.

Until then, I'll keep using my Cat S22 Flip which I have grown to actually love.

While [insert ad company name] products are a little more expensive, the quality and customer service are unmatched. It evens out when you use the [insert ad company name] reward card which gives 5% off each purchase.

Both of my last two laptops have internal batteries. Both of them are also fairly easy to replace. The Thinkpad is the easiest (as is usually the case), but my old Zenbook is almost as easy (just requires a very tiny torx screwdriver which I already had from my cell phone repair days).

As long as they're not glued in and otherwise a huge PITA to replace (like phones), I'm okay with internal batteries.

It does, but I'm talking more about scheduled posts. Many instances require those to be tagged as bots.

Well....I guess I did miss the nod.

That also shuts down my fever dream theory lol.

The only one I saw I kind of liked was the Titan, but it seemed a bit out of date (not sure if it gets updates, and I didn't see it listed as supported for LineageOS).

Or even a nod in Lower Decks (or if there was, I missed it).

But yeah, so many things in that episode that should have been followed-up on weren't, and everyone just seems to have pretended it never happened.

Every time I see this episode, I just assume it's someone's fever dream but the scenes establishing that as the framing device were cut for time constraints.

Maybe dubvee? That's kind of the exact vibe we're fostering.

Site info: https://dubvee.org/site

I'm looking for a instance with...

  • the fewest trolls (they're site-banned upon discovery)
  • [the fewest] bots (see rule 2: "No fscking bots"). Some bots are allowed, but only ones that are just a human queuing up things to post on a schedule.
  • and anyone that likes to take things to the extremes (See Rule 8)

Cons are that a lot of accounts are banned (rule 8) and we don't federate with some instances: .ml, grad, hexbear, lemdroid (too much spam originates there). We're kind-of the opposite of lemm.ee in a lot of ways, so it might be a bit jarring if that's where you're coming from.

50:1 aspect ratios!

My genuine hope is that this puts an end of the stupid "thinness wars" and we actually see innovation in devices again. I'm beyond sick of the "tall, skinny, razor-thin rectangle" form factor.

 
 

You hear that piano intro, and who do you think of?

I'm not proud of this one, but sunk cost fallacy kicked in and had to see it through.

 
 
 

Ukraine used ArduPilot to help it wipe out Russian targets. It wasn’t the first time and it won’t be the last.

Open source software used by hobbyist drones powered an attack that wiped out a third of Russia’s strategic long range bombers on Sunday afternoon, in one of the most daring and technically coordinated attacks in the war.

In broad daylight on Sunday, explosions rocked air bases in Belaya, Olenya, and Ivanovo in Russia, which are hundreds of miles from Ukraine. The Security Services of Ukraine’s (SBU) Operation Spider Web was a coordinated assault on Russian targets it claimed was more than a year in the making, which was carried out using a nearly 20-year-old piece of open source drone autopilot software called ArduPilot.

ArduPilot’s original creators were in awe of the attack. “That's ArduPilot, launched from my basement 18 years ago. Crazy,” Chris Anderson said in a comment on LinkedIn below footage of the attack.

VOY 2x19 "Lifesigns" + The Orville

I'm refurbishing my old laptop and came across this. I'm pretty positive this is the very last thing I ever posted to r/Risa on the old alien-based site and quite likely the last thing I posted there at all.
