I have to mention the fact that on the desktop version, sometimes when I turn off the feature that automatically plays videos when I hover over them, sometime later the feature gets re-enabled without my permission. I have no idea what could possibly trigger this, and it’s ONLY on desktop for me.

Am I just hallucinating? Or has this happened to someone else?

My current phone is a Samsung Galaxy A32, the last in the A3x line that has one. It’s really nice to have a headphone jack because… well, you plug your pair in, and it just works. You don’t have to worry about Bluetooth connections, or another battery that will die one day that you constantly have to recharge. Also, you get FM radio functionality on your phone, which isn’t really useful, but it’s pretty fun to mess with. I’m surprised Apple never had it on the iPod Touch despite the Nano and Classic both having it (some with a special accessory that unlocks the feature, some have it built in).

Also, support for my phone ends on Android 13 (One UI 5.1), meaning if I want new features (or even emoji updates), I have to get a newer phone, and that means either getting a lower tier model to keep that headphone jack at the cost of performance, or getting the same tier (or higher) at the cost of the jack. And I was never convinced by other Android phone manufacturers either, especially since companies like OnePlus don’t sell their products in my country, so my options are either Samsung, Google, or a whole bunch of Chinese companies, many have really terrible skins of Android. Either that or I get an iPhone, and none of the ones that are currently supported have the headphone jack. So I guess I’m sticking with my A32 until the day it nukes itself.

I heard they removed the ability to transfer audio to the AirPods Max through USB-C, when it actually worked with the Lightning model. I have absolutely no idea why they felt the need to completely get rid of wired AirPods Max usage, it felt kinda cool to pair it with an old iPod (most don’t even have Bluetooth. The ones that don’t are: all Classic models, Nano models before the 7th gen, all Shuffle models, all Mini models, and the 1st gen Touch).

Now I’m actually glad I’m stuck on Android 13.

They are doing their best, and I at least appreciate that.

I originally thought it was gonna take about a few months.

Now that I think about it, it’s probably better that it took longer, because bugs.

Took them long enough.

Got it.

A bit of both. I also don’t like capitalism.

I guess I’ll have rich people for lunch.

I’m pretty old. Not very old, but old enough to be a legal adult. And I’m possibly the most liberal person in my family. I’ve been this way for years.

You’re welcome.

I genuinely thought that what comes after “well done” is “congratulations”

We could make an anti-MEMRI.

The Hebrew letter Chet does indeed correspond to the Arabic letter ح which makes the hard H sound. Since most Hebrew speakers cannot pronounce it, the closest sound to them is KH (also represented by the letter Kuf, Arabic equivalent is خ), thus when they try to pronounce “Hamas”, they end up saying “KHAMASSS”. And no, Chet is not the only Hebrew letter affected by a sound change like this, but it’s the relevant one because it’s used in the Hebrew spelling of “Hamas”.

Hope that makes it make more sense.

It was just one country, really.

Egypt. It’s Egypt.

My country was one of the first. It also recently recognized Israel as well. Everyone I know is protesting the latter.

Spoiler: it’s Morocco.

Pretty sure I have a French language DVD of that specific Teletubbies episode. Pirated too.

And yes, it’s only that episode.

Sometimes, when dual booting Windows and Linux, especially on the same drive, the Windows installation just breaks. Sends you to automatic repair only for it to not work.

I learned this the hard way.
