Skimmed the Github page, didn't see much mention of what you may do with it, so what are some of the things you might do with these? Put backed up ROMs on'em to use with original hardware?

What are you going to study in college? Anything that might benefit from particular specs?

Each time I've read into self-hosting it often sounds like opening stuff up to the internet adds a bunch of complexity and potential headaches, but I'm not sure how much of it is practicality vs being excessively cautious.

Disney knew they had a gap in their demographics for twenty-something dorks with disposable income.

Hey, that reminds me, did you watch Mission Hill? I'm kind of split on it, but I feel like it may fall into the too soon territory. However I could also see it having outstayed its welcome if it had been more successful.

I hate hauling a small tablet around.

Don't you mean a "phablet"? 😜 If that awful name had stuck, I wonder if it might have dissuaded the device enlargement.

What small animal do you think might be able to pilot it upon completion?

While I don't disagree with most of what you mention, I do have to ask on a couple points...Isn't it probably significantly more expensive for them to make foldable screens than to make a smaller phone? Also wouldn't a larger device mean more materials involved which may mean similar or just as high costs as to engineer something more compact?

Also these are open questions, I'm not expecting you personally to know one way or another, your comment simply inspired them. If someone else has some insight on them, would be interested to read it!

Looks sharp! How was the build process for it?

I think it’s because nobody really wants to be the first to comment and offer an opinion that might end up going against the grain when a thread develops. There’s no ‘reading the room’ as it were.

Why offer an opinion when one can ask something about the post instead?

By chance do you happen to use Revolt? If so, do you (or @[email protected]) know which client might be good to use?

Tbh it wouldn't necessarily have to be lasers (not that I'll say no to lasers), but it followed from the OP so thought I'd ask. Do they use lasers for some tombstones...? 🤨
