I had the ZX80. It was terrible.

“eliminate”… They’re really making full use of dropping the “don’t be evil” clause aren’t they.

I have been sparing the almighty hell out of mine. When they drop it will be epic.

We must change them!

Require them to symbolically emote at least once per post/comment.

It requires careful preparation to really enjoy.
Storage is easy though.I like to keep a whole shelf of the stuff.

Preferably in a building, maybe a store, a properly safe distance from where I shop just in case anyone accidentally discovers it and brings some home…

No no no… This, that, and those other ones…

:)

The mere thought hadn’t even begun to speculate about the merest possibility of crossing my mind…

Definitely B5. For all of its issues it’s one I still enjoy.

Well. It’s certainly close. Still looks a little tight.

Maybe the upcoming Samsung 57" 32:9 2160p will finally get us there…

If I see any other clones show up I’ll add them to my private clone as remotes.

This way I can easily collate any updates they receive and, if they all start disappearing I’ll be able to re-publish it somewhere anonymously.

Hopefully that provides another tricky target for take-down whack-a-mole.

I have a Note 10+

With the way it’s measuring up today for performance and battery life, if it were going to keep getting OS updates and security updates it’d keep being a great phone for another couple of years yet.

…And compared to some I know, I’m updating frequently.

I really do wish they’d squeeze another 1-2 OS updates into it’s life-span. But at this rate I’ll still be replacing it with whatever its up-to-date peer is in another year or so…

…and re-purposing this one - it’s still awesome (awesomer if it allowed root without losing updates and pay-services)

All large shops in England have been legally required to charge for single-use plastic shopping bags since 2015 - a move that has seen bags drop by mor then 95 per cent, according to the government. The legal charge was initially a minimum of 5p, but this was raised to 10p in May 2021 in a bid to further reduce usage.

Doesn’t this approach risk promoting elitism by wealth? Past a given income level that fixed overhead becomes irrelevant.

So those on a lower income, who are more cost-sensitive, are made to be more responsible for reaching pollution-limiting targets than the wealthy.

I prefer the level-playing field better I think (if only we were applying that to more things here).

I poured way too much time into Rogue, Moria, Angband and Zangband back in the day… Sad to see Zangband completely disappeared - no idea if there’s a similar flavour floating around.

Played a couple of newer more graphical (and probably better balanced games) but I actually found them less engaging.

My son was madly into Shattered Pixel Dungeon for a while.
