I’m sitting in the hospital room I’ve been in since Tuesday and can’t even begin to explain how bored I am. Let’s chat about anything except politics, I could use some distraction.

I collect hobbies and may even know something about your hobbies. What do you like to do?

My wife got me a drone for an early Christmas present. Been flying it and I'm scared it'll kick off another string of expensive hobbies. Also why the hell is DJI so ahead of other drone manufacturers. So if the US bans DJI, I'd have to build my own or pay more for less.

I bought my parents iPhone 16 pros since their phones are getting old (not really they have Pixel 6s). They're Asian so even though I put them on pixels, they clearly want iPhones. Hope this will get them through for 5+ years. But I know if I don't upgrade them, I'll never hear the end of, my phone is slow, my phone is hot, my phone can't take good photos.

My mom takes so many photos on her phone and always complains about the pixel phone, however IMHO pixels take better photos than iPhones. So either she'll complain or she'll complain. She's rarely super happy about anything. But since she got what she wants, she can deal with the consequences.

Sorry for a little bit of trauma dumping lmao

Shameless plug

I also have an Instagram (but I've stopped posting there so I can be more active in the fediverse)

I have been interested in drones, but also was worried about the price lol

As for the rest, I happen to be a fan of iPhones, especially for older generations. Source: my mom refuses to anything other than some flavor of android.

Yeah iw as hesitant too. But with DJIs house insurance, I can fly a little more recklessly. Price is high but the vantage points you get is really nice. Plus the certification process is easy.

I feel like the UI for apple is much easier than android. So overall I think it's a net benefit for my parents.
