I hate apple so
I'm pretty certain my next phone is going to be an iphone
I hate android so much rn
apple only in theory makes sense to me if you subscribe to their full ecosystem,I would not be
I also prefer manually transfering things because I am comically old
All the fun I used to have on android with my Nexus 5 and then with my LG and sony phone are just dead
so I just plug my phone into my pc to move files
I also do not believe in doing payment plans
That's a good way to free up their old cellular bands lol
if I am buying something, I am buying it
I'm with you on the payment plan thing Pika
financing overpriced tech is just a dumb way to cope with overpaying
Replying to Phijkchu_Pikachu #klombak you actually do computer stuff
the most preformant games i play are cyberpunk 2077 and cities skylines 2. both run fine on my 2016 laptop, but yes do need to upgrade probably soon
I meant beyond gaming mint
You literally use linux, perhaps not well, but that is doing computer stuff
It's frustrating to upgrade now becuase we're at the end of the current PC hardware generation, and the next gen stuff has been delayed
so much delayed that they're actually producing last-gen stuff again, just because
The one thing I have been considering is a proper tablet to use for lecturing, but the good ones are expensive
I assume you don't mean a drawing tablet Pika
One I can write on in lieu of chalkboard writing is mostly what I meant spooky
ipad/ipad mini are the only real multipurpose tablets anymore
all the android/Amazon ones are aimed at being indestructible kid toys
actual drawing tablets are good, but they have their own purpose
it (was) great for tablets
but Mint, they just don't exist
the highest end tablet is the pixel one, and its a meme
there are no FOSS consumer launchers, only professional ones for PoS terminals and the like
you can probably find something fine from a few years ago, you can get to work
but there are just no actual tablets being made with real specs
if it works well on tablets, cool
oh Mint, I hate this lmao
it's like that cord-cutter "luddite" meme phone that got made last year
Are you interested in this, mint? https://commodore.net/callback/
I can't find the exact one I saw before
I'm actually surprised how many of these there are now
Every year we'd get a new Kings Dominion commercial
so as a kid, those were the VA ones I remember most
these sorta things
they'd play these every ~3 commercials on kid channels
most of our other memorable local ones are lawfirms or plumbers
Replying to Spooky Phijkchu #spooky.131 most of our other memorable local ones are lawfirms or plumbers
Yea I was in the car, and in NYC theres a lawyer who goes by Top Dawg Law. All his commercials are very outlandish, but I was thinking how it only really pertains to my area
