I bought one of these for my wife and we she has unfortunately had to switch back to her other phone due to some bugs. It seems to fail to be able to make phone calls or maintain bluetooth connections frequently. She has never had an issue receiving calls though. I'm still working on trying to find a solution for her because her old phone is a Pixel 6a which Google just nerfed the battery into oblivion like they did my 4a. I swear they have it out for us.

Give the browser extension uBlacklist a try if you want to always filter out specific sites. I did that to block some AI slop and content mill sites that are good at gaming search engines.

I have certainly have seen some cheap knockoff retro consoles at Aldi in their random seasonal aisle, but I've never seen any of the proper, branded retro remakes like this, the C64, or the NES/SNES/etc consoles.

You definitely see a lot less of them. Some of that was intentional, at least in the US, as the "love bug" problem was supposedly something that we caused and the solution was to spread sterilized bugs that would mingle with the regular bugs and prevent the population booms. No idea how well it worked, it could just be that our overuse of pesticides did the real work.

You probably didn't know about this as it didn't get the attention of the NES and such, but here is a remade Amiga PC. https://retrogames.biz/products/thea500-mini/

That one off movie where he combed the desert, but did not in fact find shit.

Mine was obviously worse than before, but still lasting well over a day before the previous update. I ended up having to buy a new phone as it was unusable.

Glad to hear that they just rolled with it.

I have seen Gwar live more than any other band (well over ten times), and it was always a good time. I haven't seen them since Oderus (Brockie) died though, but their new lead singer was the original Beefcake, so I'd still like to go again if I can.

It was truly wild to meet him briefly at Defcon after years of seeing "FREE KEVIN" and such.

As far as I know, the PS5 had way more exclusives that the equivalent Xbox console. Sony just started releasing PC versions of many of those exclusives a couple of years after release because they like money, which took away their exclusive status. I see this as a good thing as exclusives aren't good for anyone other than the console maker.
