Laughs in European

I've never had to pay extra for hotspot usage even though all of the phones I've had were bought directly from the service provider.

And before that, they were in a separate section like they are now, but it had a thing you could click to hide that section entirely for 30 days.

Just because it's less bad than the previous thing doesn't mean it's good.

Wooden spatulas are supposed to look rough though. It somehow feels wrong to cook with a spatula that has no battle scars.

Make it happen anyway, just so Trump and his lawyers have to deal with unpleasant shit on a Saturday.

It's easier. You need enough room for the nose to swing around because the front wheels follow a wider trajectory than the rear wheels. The access road is usually much wider than the parking spots, so backing into the spot gives you much more room to maneuver.

You also have much better visibility overall. If you go in nose first, you can't see the front corners of your car, and you also have terrible visibility when backing out of the spot. If you back in, the mirrors show you exactly how close you are to the cars around you, and you have an unobstructed view when you leave.

Sad? It is a good day for Twitter to die.

Or wearing pants.

Damn, that's nuts. I hope this guy and his allies get the justice they deserve.

Disappointment.

Microsoft Flight Simulator.

I get to fly planes for a year, and then I get enough money to buy my own plane in real life? Yeah, I'm doing fucking AWESOME. Let's go!

It's all a blur because I was maybe like 6 or 7 at the time, but I'm fairly certain it was Red Hat. The original, not RHEL.

I have vivid memories of playing a game that involved collecting gems and avoiding falling rocks in a maze, similar to Boulder Dash or Emerald Mine. I have no idea what it was, but I know it wasn't Rocks'n'Diamonds because I played that a lot and the graphics were different.

Wait until they hear about Finnair flight 666 to Helsinki (HEL) on Friday the 13th... Sadly that flight is no longer a thing, but Finnair still flies from Singapore (SIN) to HEL.

Why say lot word when few word do trick?

Strange how they only refer to it as "a ship" or "the ship" and never mention its name. It's called Fremantle Highway.

So I had a Z1 and Z2, and the Galaxy was an S8+. To be honest, I don't remember much about them, but overall I think I'd rate the Xperias higher than the Galaxy simply because I don't remember ever being annoyed with them. They were just reasonable, good phones that didn't try to do anything crazy.

My two major gripes with the Galaxy were:

  • There was a HUGE physical button that would activate the Bixby voice assistant thingy so I'd often press it by accident. The button could only disabled in the Bixby app... which required a Samsung account. So I had to create an account just so I could go into the settings and flip a switch to disable that stupid button, and then never use the app or account again.

  • The fingerprint reader was totally useless. It was so small that it wouldn't work unless I hit it just right, and it was placed on the back of the phone right next to the camera so it was basically impossible to hit reliably, and chances are I'd accidentally get fingerprints on the camera instead. It was even worse with a protective case on because the reader was recessed inside the hole for the camera.

The one thing I really liked about the Galaxy was the always on display. It was nice being able to check the time in the dark without lighting up the entire screen and blinding myself. For my next phone, I'll probably get something that has that feature.

I haven't seen the movies, and don't really care about the franchise, but this thing looks sick. Being able to fly on another planet is also super cool, and it makes me wonder... could this be the first step towards spaceflight on MSFS?

Robot Arena 2 (2003). I had so much fun with that game as a kid. A reboot with modern physics and graphics would be awesome.

Use whatever distro you're comfortable with, unless it lacks the features you need. I prefer Ubuntu MATE, but I use Arch because the official and user repositories generally have the newest versions of everything and I don't have to mess with PPAs.

Same, I like playing railworlds but I always get stuck when I start expanding my railway network because there aren't enough resources for the expansion to pay for itself.

For fun. My last iPhone was a 4S, and after that I had a couple Sony Xperias and a Samsung Galaxy. When it was time to upgrade, I decided to get an iPhone 11 for a change, for no other reason than to see what they're like nowadays.

I've been really happy with it, it does everything I need it to do, and I don't miss the Galaxy at all.

I have to smell the black pepper shaker any time I use it. Not because I'm worried that there's something wrong with it, but because black pepper smells good.

Wireless charging pad. Yes, it's less efficient than wired charging, but it's just so convenient.

But then you have the same problem all over again, just at a different scale. If multiple people create those feeds according to their personal tastes, how do you decide which one to use? It's unlikely that any of them offer the content you want and nothing more, so you'd still have to tweak them to add the stuff that's missing or remove the stuff you don't care about. Yes, technically it's an improvement because you no longer need to do all the work yourself, but it would still suck.

I didn't say it was legit, I said it has always worked for me.

I've bought a ton of stuff (both games and DLC) from G2A and never had any issues.
