Yes, please!

The Titan 2 Elite looks awesome though it appears to be just a render right now. I was looking at the original Titan a while back but it was pretty dated even then. Gonna keep an eye out for the Elite.

The phone will come powered by the MediaTek Dimensity 7300 processor, have 12GB of RAM, and 512GB of internal storage. There is no word on the display or the battery, but going by the previous release, it should be an AMOLED screen, and the battery should be 5,000mAh. Neither is there any word about the release timeline, pricing, or other features of the device right now. The sole official render of the phone suggests a sleeker-looking body, erringly similar to the Clicks Communicator.

Yeah, man, you’ll get, like, totally faded.

Yeah, I really like mine and it’s used pretty frequently. No complaints. I just mentioned those aspects as things that worry me but otherwise so far so good after 5 years.

Yeah, that’s exactly the kind of thing I worry about breaking on it. I’m not sure about the blender pitcher, but the food processor attachment definitely has that.

Haven’t had any issues, but I’m always just super careful with it.

I really like my Ninja one but it’s got some weird mechanical sensors in the base that tell it what attachment you’re using (blender pitcher, food processor, single-serve cup, etc). I’ve had it for about 5 years now and use it regularly, and it’s held up, but I always worry about those little sensor things messing up.

FWIW, until I decided on the S22 Flip, the Nokia 2780 was my preferred candidate.

Look at the Nokia 2780, Nokia 110, and/or the Nokia 3210.

They’re modern equivalents to their predecessors of yore and run a simple non-smartphone OS (Kai OS) and use VoLTE so are compatible with modern networks. Bonus is they can do things like hotspot.

I was looking at those and similar about a year and a half ago when I wanted to switch to a dumb phone. I ended up compromising with the CAT S22 Flip which is a low-end Android phone in a flip phone form factor. Wasn’t difficult to de-Google and was able to root it. Unfortunately, they’re not made anymore so what’s left is what’s left. They’ve also jumped quite a bit in price since I got mine for $69.99 back in 2024.

It’s technically correct when referring to what body the ship itself is orbiting though weirdly worded I’ll admit. Humans have not orbited another body besides earth since Apollo 17 in 1972. Though I don’t think this mission will actually orbit the moon in the traditional sense and is more of a manned flyby. Still, they’ll be captured into lunar orbit even if they’re effectively going to turn around and go home right after by not completing orbital insertion.

How did I not know this was happening? God, it’s like the few bits of good/cool news we get is all buried under the horror and rage.

Are the headlines wildly different on a regional basis, or are you just doing your own thing with them?

This is gonna be like how Putin stole a Superbowl ring isn’t it?

Copy/pasting a comment I wrote the other day on a post about OneDrive stealing and deleting your files:

I knew back when Windows 10 came out and the lead of their cloud division replaced Ballmer that Windows was gonna turn into a shit show, but in my wildest nightmares I wouldn’t have predicted what they’re doing now.

🥂 To coping

Hard to quantify it, so bear with me.

Not so much a specific genre or distribution medium as much as “the artist/band was born after 9/11”. Like, there are some bands that have been around forever and still putting out new stuff and that’s mostly fine (though I don’t necessarily like all of it) but anything overly electronic is basically a hard pass for me.

Oh yeah, I’m the same. It just gets rarer and rarer each year that I find something I can enjoy. Objectively, it has nothing to do with the quality of modern music (well, maybe a little lol) just the styles changing and my taste not keeping up.

Yeah, I did Docker swarm on an older cluster of thin clients I had ~10 years ago but even that was overkill. I’ve avoided Kubernetes for the same reason.

Government surplus auction. Had to get power supplies and SSDs for them separately but still less expensive than what most used ones go for elsewhere.

I’m now running 9 of the Dell equivalents to those, and they’re doing well. Average 15-20 watts at normal load and usually no more than 30-35 watts running full tilt. 5 of them are unprovisioned but I got a good deal on them for $25/each so I couldn’t pass them up :shrug:.

Attempting to cable-manage the power bricks for more than 1 of these is the worst part of using them. The only life pro tip I can offer is to ditch the power bricks and buy a 65W USB-C power delivery adapter that’s in the “wall wart” style and also one of the USB-C to Lenovo power adapter cords. Those make cable management so much better.

I would like to think so.

Most contemporary music sounds like shit. I try to stay current to at least within the last 3 years, but the older I get, the more it just sounds like shit.

South Park did an episode about it, and they were spot on.
