All your examples are of things that were stopped while at school, so your argument doesn’t really carry over. You still had your pokemon cards everywhere else.

Doesn’t that mean there’s no ownership and it can be freely taken?

They will cut off electricity if you do something illegal with it…

Too bad LG got out of the phone biz. They had the best dacs and some good phones.

That means the audio still goes through another DAC, lowering the sound quality, compared to an analog 3.5 jack. Also, who wants to further risk wearing out\vreaking their charge port, jack inputs almost seem like they can’t break.

Yeah, but I still feel like the majority of people are stupid. That’s kind of how apple got such a huge market share to begin with. People just happily locked themselves in to a closed garden with shit for options.

The costs of running an oven for an hour is probably costing you like 40 cents and most of that is pre heating. Buy a bread maker or a toaster oven to make your loaves in and it will be less than half that. For most cooking, the electricity used is a rounding error.

No. If you’re lucky, you could take the phone apart and reconnect the ribbon connector that goes from the display to the board and it will be fixed. More likely the display is damaged and would need replaced. No chance a lighter will fix it.

It’s a skill that most people will need to use often in their lives if you live in the US, at least. Unless you live in a place like New York city and don’t ever plan on leaving, you’ll probably be better off knowing how to drive. There’s a dozen reasons why that are all pretty obvious to most people.

But if you’re only 19, never got a license before that, and are dating a guy that’s a fair amount older than you are, I’m guessing you just want other people making all of your decisions for you.

There’s a reason you didn’t hear about them. I never watched the last two that were animated, but 2 and 3 were really bad.

You poor bastard. The 2nd movie was bad, but the third one was bad in such a way that it couldn’t even be a “so bad it’s entertaining”. It just plain hurt to watch.

When you’re living in it, you don’t know what the future will have. I like my information and tech, but growing up as a kid before all that was pretty sweet. You weren’t always after knowing or researching or finding out everything. You lived more in the moment.

There was also a freedom that will never return for anyone. Imagine going places and doing things that at best will only be a story people could tell. No pictures or videos that keep or prove anything forever digitally around. It’s something you subconsciously think about now all the time. It didn’t used to exist. Also the freedom of being a kid and wanting to go hang out wondering around with friends all day completely untethered or tracked. Just a “be home before the streetlights come on” and beyond that your parents have no idea where you are and can’t call you. Getting lost was an adventure.

The better software part is pretty debatable, but dex is cool for the people who use it.

Stfu

Our law enforcement is a huge joke and the meh pay, high turnover rate, and low bar of entry attracts the type of people you wouldn’t want to be associated with to begin with.

But also, why are small framed 5’3 women allowed to be police?

Fact is, most cops can’t outrun or overpower a lot of criminals who chose to resist or flee. In actuality that’s a pretty tiny part of the job. The rest is tickets, reports, paperwork, arrests with no resistance, investigations, etc. you don’t have to be an athlete or even very physically fit to do any of that. Id rather deal with a fat cop that isn’t a dick more than a slim one who’s a dumbass.

Yeah, but I’m not paying an extra $500 for a stylus. Either way I think I’ll have at least another year out of this thing.

I meant redmagic 10 pro plus. My bad.

As for the samsungs:

Because it’s priced higher than it should be, it has a slightly lower performance chip, a much lower capacity battery, and older battery tech that will degrade faster and charges slower. The best redmagic out specs the samsungs in every way but picture quality and does it for $500 less.

Yeah. Id pick up a redmi 10+ pro if it had a pen and sacrifice away the SD card slot. Id at least have a huge battery and awesome cooling.

Yeah, but I still really like my micro SD card slot and pen on my note 20 ultra. Dunno what I’ll do when I have to replace it.

I was old enough to get a bit of nastalgia out of it. Late 80s was pretty fun times.
