A couple of years ago, Canada required all carriers to cell unlocked phones, or allow them to be unlocked for free. Nothing bad has happened because of that. Our cell phone plans are still too expensive, and the companies are wildly profitable.
I bought a book that had Yggdrasil in a CD that I used so I didn’t have to go into the university for the Unix labs.
I think that the entirety of the book, around 1,000 pages, was printed out man pages.
Did you know that you can edit the title of your post? You should think about it!
I have a Bip as well, and aside from the silly name I love it. Even after 5 years a single charge lasts more than a month.
It tracks my sleep and steps, and is always on (other smartwatches turn the display off to save the battery).
It doesn’t do all the fanciest things. I can’t answer phone calls or send text messages (it will display received messages), but the advantages far away the drawbacks.
I have a Bip watch as well. I actually bought a fancier one, but the Bip has a display that is on all the time, and after 5 years of use still has a battery life of about 5-6 weeks!
It tells the time, buzzes when I get a phone call, and tracks my steps. That’s about all I need.
Back in 1996 I was studying computer science, and one of my courses required me to write programs in Prolog. Rather than go to the school to work on the computers there, I bought an enormous book (I think it was a printout of all the man pages) that had Yggdrasil Linux CD-ROM, and ran it on my home desktop.
The Pakistani chef at a restaurant I went to ask us if we wanted it “white people hot” or “brown people hot”.
My Motorola G Power lasts for almost two days of regular use. I love not having to worry about running out of juice!
Not a very powerful phone, but it meets my needs.
I think that fine documentary, “The Core”, explained how to deal with this issue.
Rocksmith is kind of a follow-up. Except you use real guitars, and you can only have two of them. Choose between lead, rhythm, and bass.
Try to find Rocksmith Remastered, though, and not the new subscription-based Rocksmith+.
Tracing the career of The Beatles in Beatles Rock Rand was absolutely amazing.
I am a big fan of MyNoise, which mixes real-life recorded sounds, but you have a ridiculous amount of control over almost everything.
It’s browser-based, so compatible with any device. Once it has downloaded the sounds, it doesn’t use any more bandwidth.
Definitely worth supporting with a donation.
Fireworks are basically banned all over Ontario (Canada), because of the risk of forest fires. That goes for official and unofficial ones.
I use Brevo as well. Free tier: 300 emails per day.
Very happy with them.
