I had a Sharp SH-03L for a while, it’s a business version of one of their flip phones that didn’t even have a camera.

The OS was actually android 8.0 but really stripped down to basically only do the whatever apps a flip phone has.

I was able to sideload apks through ADB, but ironically, I actually wanted the google stuff to work since a lot of the apps required it to log in and other things.

The thing was pretty cheap though, paid like $15 for it

Yep, realized in the first sentence and had a laugh

Hey, the data is all gone

Or just installed few months of missing updates, looking at you my broken Manjaro dual-boot

True, it’s a lot of paperwork and not the most efficient, but I can trust that it will work

Even in tech, there are things that probably haven’t changed in the past 25 years

Tbf, for me, that’s more of a forum territory. I wasn’t even using the subreddit for Aprilia motorcycles, but been on Apriliaforum for years

*if you fit the right ideology

I mean, a lot of it is just people who started using chatgpt to do some simple and boring task (writing an email, CV, or summarizing an article) and started thinking that it’s the best thing since sliced bread.

I would know that since I’m a university student. I know the limitations of current AI stuff so I can cautiously use it for certain tasks and don’t trust the output to be correct. Meanwhile, my friend thought that he was making chatgpt better at answering his multiple choice economics quiz by telling it which of the answers it gave was wrong…

I mean if Turkey can just decide to change it’s name and everyone has to respect it (not me Turkey it is), I don’t see why this is different

AFAIK the built-in translator doesn’t support Japanese, which is 99% of translation I need and the extension (which is what is was trying to use before) either requires you to select the text that you want to translate one-by-one or run the whole page through translate.google.com, which doesn’t work with any page that requires an account to access or triggers ddos protection on some others.

The problem for me is that the built-in translator is too convenient

I think that a lot of people are missing this, my first Windows was Windows XP, so I’m pretty much used to doing everything through a GUI

I ignored Windows 8, and even 10 for a while, but that was because Windows 7 was still working and supported and still kinda is my favorite version of Windows.

Then at some point I just switched to 10 and been using it ever since while installing the occasional distro to see if I can move off of Windows (Answer is still no) or as an emergency desktop bootable USB

It really is amazing how I can mess up Linux installs for the weirdest of reasons.

Install arch from scratch on a laptop? Now it either doesn’t go to sleep when you close the laptop or a kernel panick.

Manjaro? Edited the config for the touchpad (of course it’s a random config file that you have to change line by line and read 3 wiki pages for, because Linux) because it doesn’t feel like windows and ran updates from the built in manager within the os. Now it doesn’t boot at all and causes the boot logo to ghost while using windows 10 installed on another partition.

Pop_os? Worked mostly fine, used it for months, broke it only once when using the built in package manager somehow fixed it, but stopped using that laptop and now I can’t boot into it at all.

Not to mention all of the software that partially doesn’t work or work at all. Like, my personal choice for image editing is paint.net, it’s not a useless meme like MS Paint, but also isn’t the equivalent of using a bucket wheel excavator for digging a hole in your backyard like Gimp. It also doesn’t work on Linux at all

Sudoku is my go-to for boring time on the airplane

Because as long as the Russian state exists and can point to their “history” as an empire and use it as an excuse to take over their neighboring countries (like Latvia, the place where I’m from), I won’t be satisfied.

Unfortunately nobody is bombing Moscow yet, so anything that isolates and makes the population more angry and can hopefully topple the government is a good thing in my book

RS50 is such a fun bike, and I know the pain with the carb, I have to ride mine uphill, also, just replaced the 12mm flat slide carb with a 17.5mm round slide, runs quite nice

That’s why I kinda like my carburated 2-stroke motorcycle.

Needs just 3 wires from the engine to work and 1 to shut it off. Weighs just around 100kg and will propel me to 90km/h with just a 50cc cylinder.

Not to mention the smoke, sound, and the narrow powerband, just love that feeling.

For me it’s kinda unfocused, like I can imagine a ball on a table and someone giving it a push.

Only after I force myself to think a bit harder about it, I get a regular square wooden table in a kitchen-esque room, with a silver pinball on it, while a guy approaches it and gives it a small push, at the same time, the post didn’t ask me to imagine the ball falling off the table, so the ball barely rolls at all.
