A used flagship is a great phone (except for the glass nonsense, give me all plastic please). It's all I buy, 2 or 3 year old flagship for 1/4 the price of new.

I just upgraded from a 2017 flagship to a Pixel 5, for $120!

I haven't had a charging concern for Bluetooth for probably 10 years.

Today, my ear buds have a case. If I use them for music for 8 hours, they tell me they need charging. That's how much they've improved.

The charging case rarely needs charging, and it supports wireless, so I just set it on the charging base.

A "must", only for a subset of users.

If it were truly a "must", more people would be complaining.

I get it, you find Bluetooth unappealing for reasons, just like I find larger phones unappealing. Unfortunately, we're a minority, neither of these are a "must" for most people.

Looks like the Europe map of Ticket to Ride. Neat version.

Me too!

I tried using a Graffiti keyboard on Android, without a stylus it doesn't make sense.

Yep. While Android can do far more, the Treo keyboard kicked ass.

I don't recall for sure with all of them. Mine was 2 AAA, my boss had a rechargeable in 1999. I still have this one.

About 2005 I picked up a Treo, almost positive that one was lithium (it was a cell phone). Though it may have been NiCd.

Nothing to extend/extinguish. UNIX existed first, and has a very different use-case. Linux shares that history.

NT was developed from DEC Alpha, which came well after Unix (so learned some lessons from it). I don't see it being inferior to Unix/Linux, but different.

Both have strengths and weaknesses.

One area that Linux really beats Windows is the IoT/embedded/low power devices. The NT kernel just has too much built in.

Yea, it's an API, just like POSIX was decades ago. (Though more advanced, it's been decades after all). .

Oh, cool.

So those stresses create an internal plane where it fails?

Any metallurgists around here? Be interesting to hear how this happens.

Cooks County/America's Test Kitchen turned me on to using flax seed oil. Wow, what a difference. Worth the $10 bottle - I've redone all my cast, and it's damn near non stick.

I've even used it on aluminum sheet pans. Those are so slick they feel oily when clean and dry.

Isn't that Lodge chart about cooking with those oils? I wonder what the implications are for seasoning - ATK recommends using saturated fats, as there's more carbon available, which is what you're trying to do - carbonise the surface (sounds like something from Star Wars, lol).
