It’s a Nokia X20, running stock Android, currently 14, but it’s been that way on Android for as long as I remember.

You didn’t mention audio.

I particularly love the feature where you can only listen to music by turning off “Do Not Disturb”, because that way my morning walk is guaranteed to be interrupted by some random caller wanting to tell me that Bill Gates personally wants to give me money, rather than listening to the music I had queued up as I walked out the front door.

Oh, also, the predictive keyboard is brilliant, it forgets common words after about a week, so then you are forced to spend extra time typing the same thing again and again, which is great for finger dexterity training. Speaking of which, I absolutely love the autocorrect which changes words completely out of context, even if you spelled the word correctly, not to mention that adding an “s” to a long word to get a plural requires that you type the entire word.

I just bought two brand new three year old phones to replace the identical broken ones we currently have because the current models have less functionality for more than we paid for these.

To get the same functionality cost twice as much.

And we still get three years warranty…

Seriously? From the README:

I would like to first fix the kernel headers issues that break the UAPI for C++ compilers (because they use C++ keywords that break C++ code) and the Windows filesystem (Windows filesystem is case-insensitive, so some headers cannot be stored on Windows filesystems).

I can’t wait to see this kernel become dependent on .NET

If you’re wondering, this is what embrace, extend and extinguish looks like.

It’s just the current buzzword.

Hundreds if not thousands went before it and many more will follow.

Think of it as an in-built historic timestamp.

The response from the owner just adds the missing ingredient.

How do airless tyres change the pile of waste? They still wear out and I suspect become economically unviable and are disposed of.

It’s not like we can’t recycle "normal " tyres today, it’s that we don’t.

The reason is that there’s no economic incentive to do so (yet), and airless tyres don’t do anything to change that as far as I know.

That’s very interesting. Does this mean that you can test any backup without needing to do a manual data recovery taking several hours?

Noted, thanks.
