This is why I switched from a multitool with pliers to a Swiss Army Knife and XS Knipex Cobra pliers. Overall smaller and lighter than most multitools, and higher quality materials.

put the phone to my ear

Clearly you would look more normal if you blast it on the speaker while holding the phone in front of you, like everyone else. /s

501 is the style

0126 is the color

32x34 is the size in inches waist x inseam

Levi's still sell non-stretch 501, and they should fit pretty much the same (although there is a lot more variation from one batch to the next than there used to be). If you can order from Levi's online you should be able to get similar ones. Or check any shops for 501 32x34 in 100% cotton.

Another option would be to get the original 501 shrink-to-fit (color 000). It's a process to break them in (not as much as heavier denim), but they should last longer since they're not stonewashed or otherwise treated to make them soft. Just read up on sizing first.

That and the shrinking ability to grant access to device storage. If that becomes an option only on rooted phones (which seems like the directly Google is heading) it will make the audience for such an app much smaller.

LULd for sure.

What a bunch of ~~clowns~~ idiots (edited to remove the implication that clowns are genuinely as clueless and incompetent as Sonos execs). When Sonos launched in 2004 they were far ahead of any other company in the connected speaker landscape. And they stayed best-of-the-best for a dozen years. Since the S1/S2 split they have been on a steady down trajectory with no signs of improvement.

Now another bunch of employees are getting the axe while the decision makers who have steadily ruined their service remain at the helm. Good job, Sonos.

If I was shopping for speakers right now I know exactly what not to buy.

Likewise for Portugal. Its highest point is Pico, in the Azores archipelago.

No. 1970 is 0 in Unix time. The NTP RFC specifies 1900. I had to look it up!

Better to represent it as a 64-bit unsigned fixed-point number, in seconds relative to 0000 UT on 1 January 1900. It's how he would have wanted it.

Obligatory: Debian.

But I'd be tempted to put Proxmox on it and then run containers for each function. Then you get purpose-crafted solutions for each use case, but can easily plug new functions in or shut them down based on what you decide later.

Keep the tv dumb. Don't connect it to the internet.

I like to check rtings.com for model specs and comparisons. Like, some panel types work well in a bright room, some work better than others when you are watching with a bright light source behind you. The warehouse clubs (Costco, BJ's, Sam's) tend to have good deals on midrange tvs.

Then pair it with a streaming stick of your choice. A generic Android TV stick/box would work.
