He has a few albums. One from 1969, “The Transformed Man” and “Has Been” from 2009ish. I have both. The latter really is good with an excellent cover of Pulp’s “Common People”. A newer metal album from a few years ago I haven’t heard.
As a photographer the camera doesn’t bother me. I tend to use my cameras if I want to take “real” photos. The camera is better than my 13 Mini was.
Speaker doesn’t bother me. I use my AirPods or use AirPlay at home.
Screen size is a mixed blessing. I miss the form factor or my 13 Mini but the screen is helpful for my aging eyes and it’s not huge.
Battery is still great and judging by the iPadOS 27 beta on my iPad mini, in a couple months it’s about to get better.
Putting a Pitaka case on it keeps it slim, adds a grippier surface and makes the plateau flat so it doesn’t rock.
In the end, I have no regrets. It’s been a great phone for me. It still feels great in hand. Not quite as magical as when I first picked one up, but I still notice and enjoy it. Especially when I pick up my partner’s 15 Pro, that’s jarring.
Not America, similar experience in Perth, AU. Good PT but getting to some places that way is dangerous or frustrating. Taxi/Uber works well for those cases. Nice to not have the expenses of a car.
Ah, yes. I got a water fountain that filtered and recirculated the water for my cats. That greatly increased the amount of water they drank. It was more than 1.5L per week for both. That helps with this greatly as well.
Years ago, my Max had these crystals. The food acidified his urine and it was never an issue again. However, the food was also very rich and he ended up diabetic around 9 years old. Everything was able to be managed with food and meds. He was a happy and mostly healthy cat.
Great! Now try to buy one. Or if you can get it, there’s a strong chance it won’t work with the available networks. I know of at least one person who was using a FuriOS phone and a Sony Xperia with SF here in Aus that both will no longer connect to a network.
Don’t get me wrong. I’d love to have one as the successor to my N9, but it’s just too niche and/or unobtainium.
I mean, this is great, but it’s dicey to even try a “nonstandard” phone here in Oz (if you could even get this) with network carriers blocking Furios phones and Xperias capable of running Jolla. I wish I could get one of these, maybe someday seeing the demand for this now things will change.
Keebart is located in Germany with free shipping on most keyboards. I’ve been very happy with my Sofle v2 and after sale support from him. He uses USB-C for the right-left connection rather than TRRS, which I find to be nice.
The Sofle was an easy intro to split ergo boards. I had a Keychron Q11 and switched to this, which has a number row and 5 thumb keys.
The case is 3D printed, so not ZSA quality, but I have no complaints. He does offer aluminium cases though if you want to spend more.

Also cooked in that form. I just finished eating some a few moments ago.
I’ve had mine nearly as long.

I mean, cars aren’t sentient so, this should be a given since they can’t have responsibility assigned to them. But here we are.

Unless Xteink have opened the firmware and I’m not caught the news, no. However, there are several open source firmwares but the most popular is CrossPoint, https://github.com/crosspoint-reader/crosspoint-reader
I never even tried the stock firmware. Been with CrossPoint since I got the device.

It’s only for the holidays. Back to Philippines where I used to live before moving to Australia. Be back in Perth in January to enjoy the dry heat.
Fled Perth for the northern hemisphere, but not too far north. It’s currently 29 C here with clouds and a light breeze. It’s lovely.
I still miss my N9.

I’ve been happy with Tusker for a few years now.
Paywalled? Unless my system just bypasses it, I didn’t note one
