I bought one of these for my wife and we she has unfortunately had to switch back to her other phone due to some bugs. It seems to fail to be able to make phone calls or maintain bluetooth connections frequently. She has never had an issue receiving calls though. I'm still working on trying to find a solution for her because her old phone is a Pixel 6a which Google just nerfed the battery into oblivion like they did my 4a. I swear they have it out for us.

Give the browser extension uBlacklist a try if you want to always filter out specific sites. I did that to block some AI slop and content mill sites that are good at gaming search engines.

Mine was obviously worse than before, but still lasting well over a day before the previous update. I ended up having to buy a new phone as it was unusable.

Glad to hear that they just rolled with it.

I have seen Gwar live more than any other band (well over ten times), and it was always a good time. I haven't seen them since Oderus (Brockie) died though, but their new lead singer was the original Beefcake, so I'd still like to go again if I can.

It was truly wild to meet him briefly at Defcon after years of seeing "FREE KEVIN" and such.

As far as I know, the PS5 had way more exclusives that the equivalent Xbox console. Sony just started releasing PC versions of many of those exclusives a couple of years after release because they like money, which took away their exclusive status. I see this as a good thing as exclusives aren't good for anyone other than the console maker.

I am also a big fan of the MX518 lineage mice, so I hope someone make a version that has that shape. When Logitech released an updated MX518 several years back I bought a couple of them, so I will be good for years hopefully.

As if I don't have a stash of previously reinvented wheels to choose from in my personal code. Buuuut, who can resist reinventing the wheel for the 25th time?

We watched it live in elementary school, most of the kids didn't get what had happened right away. Our teacher was just standing there stunned until an announcement came on the intercom asking all the teachers to turn it off. They didn't say anything to us, just tried to pretend like we didn't just watch people blow up live.

Congrats, you're already a much better screen writer than anyone at Marvel.

We've had this thing hammering our servers. The scraper uses randomized user-agents browser/OS combinations and comes from a number of distinct IP ranges in different datacenters around the world, but all the IPs track back to Bytedance.
