My favorite phone was a Sony Xperia Compact. If they still have SD Card slots my next phone will be Sony.

I can’t wait until holographic storage comes in spheres, and you have to bring it to an old Gypsy woman if you forget the encryption key.

Every single Microsoft site still does this.

Samsung was caught disabling phones in Mexico because people were buying phones from other regions where they were cheaper.

One of the arcades in the town I grew up in had one of these, for a short time. I never played it (I was young enough to not be interested) but saw some of the older kids playing it. Pretty soon afterwards my dad forbid (forbade?) me from that arcade, because he heard that’s where they sold “drugs”. I never made the connection until just now. Pissed me off, because that arcade had Robotron.

I do this with 4 different devices and it just works. I wouldn’t leave the vault file open on any device I’m not actively using though.

Keepass XC (Windows) has a setting “automatically reopen the database when modified externally”. If the file is open and Syncthing updates it from somewhere else, it should open the new file and prompt for the password again.

PERCUSSIVE ENTRANCED MEN

I’ve never played, but the videos I’ve seen look like a button-mashing nightmare. And I think you underestimate the Elder Scrolls lore.

Yeah, but those were meant to be quick, quarter-driven games. Think of Zork and those games (all text). Think of the old Sierra games (King’s Quest 1 had text commands, KQ5(?) was point-and-click).

As computer speed and graphics have grown, story has often suffered.

Games have been steadily driving away from story-oriented to action-oriented since they began. I expect ES6 to be some type of Dark Souls clone.

that’s the way it’s always been!

Engineer here. It’s like that because that’s the way it’s always been. To change it would mean retooling silk-screen printing on the D-pad, and changing the wiring underneath. And they probably use this D-pad everywhere, so someone like me will have to talk to someone else like me, and right now I have phone shyness (can’t just be an email, have to call a meeting). I’ll also have to talk to a supplier and get them to change the wiring, and Procurement won’t let me just change anything, because it gives suppliers a chance to requote a job, and they’ll ask for more money. And then I’ll have to talk to Production, because they’ll have to retrain the workers, make sure someone doesn’t stop the line because this new part doesn’t look exactly like the old part. Oh, and Quality of course, need to make sure the inspectors don’t start rejecting the new parts (just kidding, they never look at parts). Then there’s Marketing. Since this is a customer-facing part, definitely need their input. Might have to change catalogs and brochures with new pictures.

No, they just got the good brand of gummy bears in the cafeteria, I’m going to go buy a bag of those, and then fill out these forms my new boss has been asking about. New boss, new forms, same old shit.

OH NO, IT’S ON THERE!

…anyway…

Is there someplace to get this list of passwords? I’m not worried about my current passwords being on there, but there was one I used years ago that I still haven’t found on any list. I’m curious if it’s on there yet.

Most of the phones I’m looking at max out at 256 Gb storage, minus whatever the OS uses. My next phone will almost certainly be a Sony because of the SD card slot. I do a lot of RAW photography, and travel in enough places without data service and/or sketchy cell access that large local storage is not negotiable.

Not a custom ROM user, but I assigned mine to activate the camera.

Bottles of Guinness used to have a little plastic “widget” with a nitrogen charge in them. When you opened the bottle the drop in pressure would cause the nitrogen to release and foam up the beer. But the size of the widget meant they could only get 11.2 oz of cold, refreshing stout in the bottle.

Then they removed the widget. I’m not sure if they did anything special to replace the foaming head, but they sure didn’t replace the widget with 0.8 oz of beer.

2 olives please. With Tic-Tacs.

I worked for Walmart many many years ago, and this pissed me off to no end. On Thursday I would have to go through and increase the prices on everything that was going to be on sale the following week. Then Saturday morning I had to change all the prices back to what they were (or just a sliver lower). Then I would get bitched at for putting the wrong sign in place (these were supposed to get the “Rollback” signs, not the “Sale” signs, ffs).

Hated that job.

I always click randomly on the first 2 attempts to mislead the AI. Hopefully you did the same, and when the robots come to kill us the grease will freeze up and they won’t be able to move.
