general

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

i use mLauncher from fdroid on my ereader, its great, super performant

and foss

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

lol. i used to use a similar launcher called niagra that was closed source. mlauncher isnt as feature rich as it, but does the trick

my ereader has 2ghz processor and 2gb of ram lol. so a lightweight launcher is very much an essential

additonally, i am the target demographic for luddite phones

android 11 is awful on those specs i will say

Are you interested in this, mint? https://commodore.net/callback/

It's what I want in a phone - just a flip phone + Signal & WhatsApp, but... 500 fuckin bucks irks me

incrediblly interested. would love a flip phone. just plus discord, and music

The marketing is very... interesting. It's definitely targeting the well-off gen Zers who idolize the pre-Internet era lol

really want someting flip phone sized with an epaper displays

epaper would give a reason for that t9 keyboard

another of my biggest requirements is a modable and auditable os

some sort of lora phone tempts me

I highly doubt the Commodore one will have that available, honestly

PinePhone?

idk, what i want doesnt exist yet, so i will stick to pixel plus graphene until then

what if i don't want it to block social media?

hell yeah me too

I can't find the exact one I saw before

I'm actually surprised how many of these there are now

Do you respective states have iconic commercials that everyone from your area knows

If so, pls show me

I forget if ive asked this here before. This commercial is ingrained in a majority of NJ people's heads

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

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

Was Cars 4 Kids always a nation wide one? I know theyre a jewish ponzi scheme whos HQ is in California

The Dale Coaster is so sick

and legit, I think all of Virginia/DC cheered

no idea why they took that ad out

but that's probably the most random TV jingle that's local to VA

Its such a bizarre commercial too

This is probably the most memorable jingle, but I think empire spanned the east coast

Empire and Stanley Steamer

Yea

we used to prank call Stanley Steamer

and would get cussed out by some woman with a thick NJ accent

Thats sick, did you use skype

yes

Youre from the ruins of Detroit?

Huh

Ontario in particular idk, I would recognize the ontario official jingle

but I cannot place adverts specifically

A lot of Detroiters commercials are parodies of Detroit commercials, but honestly I didn't see very many of those.

most of the big Canadian ads are canada wide like house hippo, the molsen canadian beer adverts, the PSAs

Yea id imagine if there was anything region specific it would probably the Quebec

there are region specific ones, just I can't guess what ones are off the top of my head

they don't stand out

True, this question is asking for a sleeper agent code word jingle. It wouldnt be at the front of your mind

In Lieu of an ontario specific one, here is a good Canada one that is not house hippo https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=VSmJvCWlk2s

If youre fat you dont deserve pokemon cards

Is all I got

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Q-hP-Q8pa8Q Same series, also good

My mom would say this noooon-stop

Persona 4 EN Dub

Also don't worry, these goofy commercials still exist, this was so funny when it came out: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Bj9NKBDv-QI

Which btw I fucking hate RIPTA Flex buses, just give me a goddamn schedule

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GXMf2bhq39Q 29 or 2 for 50

A commercial I remember for the Wind Waker that I can't find online. It was a dark and stormy night. A cloaked girl on a cliff starts narrating "Long ago in the land of Hyrule, a boy" something something something "to save.... me" And it was supposed to be a super big deal that there was a Zelda game where you tried to save someone else besides Zelda.

Posted without commentary from me

Couldn't convince Zach and Michael to make new Rick n Morty slop for us, so theyre doing it themselves

they call it the FIFA 50
