The work culture is bad in China, I would not want to work 997.

I picked up a pixel 8 pro to replace my 6 pro.

US is worse

They have folding phones that’s are smallish

Dvd video on a cell phone looks great

The issue with blurays are the unskippable intros before the menu hits

Nfc payments keep me chained. I guess i can get a second phone just for setting up a watch, but i don’t want a watch. So i live by not using the default launcher and a vpn. I’m working to change my email provider slowly

I also want to look into the exit node stuff.

Air fryer, i got it for around $20 at bestbuy. I haven’t used my gas range in years. I ended up getting a bigger over for 45 recently to make larger meats without having to cut them. I get the bella pro brand. They are certainly nothing fancy, but very high value for the amount of cooking I’ve done in them. Pork tenderloin, perfect.

Can’t use a vpn it shows location is from unexpected location and gets my passport reset. Its really annoying.

Sorry, I referred to car features that we really need. Before 2020 we had functional car interiors that everyone knew had to use and were pretty safe. I haven’t seen much innovation that has helped beyond moving all controls to the glued on iPad behind a subscription.

Cars peaked before 2020 for sure.

AI is my coding companion as there are so few devs I can discuss my coding problems with due to their lack of understanding. The AI maybe wrong at times, but just toasing ideas back and forth gets my gears turning. It’s my evolved coding duck.

Yeah XP was good, but once 7 was mature XP wasn’t worth the time.

My preferred Windows versions, 3.1, 98Se, 2000, 7, and 10.
