I've bought the occasional book from it. It doesn't seem that useful or good value for other things (I've only lived in Europe and Australia)

Since the death of my YotaPhone 2 I'd been so unhappy with every phone purchase until I got a Blackview BV6600 pro.

The battery is enormous, both in capacity and physical size but I still only charge it every 2 or 3 days.

It has an FLIR thermal heat camera built-in. It's so much more useful than I imagined. I used it at work today to find where a mouse was hiding, I used it at home to find a hidden power cable behind a wall.

It's waterproof and shock proof and I can forgive it for not having an e-ink screen on the back.

The article is by Amol Rajan, the presenter who asked the question on the quiz show. It turns out that he is a junglist

 

The embedded X links are all blocked for me but the article is very interesting on its own

No matter how you feel about them, when your mate shows you his new electric car you still greet him with a request for a pint of semi skimmed.

This is a rare case where the Aussies are right. It was named fairy floss by its original inventor

Because you like poorly maintained hacky amateur install scripts

Mine does, but then it also has a built-in thermal imaging camera, which is definitely not normal.

I once ran a computer training course in a room with motion activated lights. Every time I set the trainees an exercise the lights went off. I told them that when it need happened I wanted them all to raise their arms and wave because "many hands make light work"

It amused me, anyway.
