No, but bonus credit. I went Vax VMS, DEC Alpha DUX, Slackware, slowaris (x86 Solaris), Redhat, then LFS, Gentoo, RHEL, Solaris 9, and then eventually a little of everything else.

This applies to so very many human endeavors.

Affleck was the bomb in Phantoms, yo!

Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.

Most websites used to have way fewer ads and we blocked them anyway because of the ads with malware and them being annoying when they did show up.

So then people without ad blockers are shown even more ads. So then more people start to use more and more aggressive adblockers to deal with i truaivw ads, so corpos display more ads…and so on and so on.

My point is that we have tried your suggestion. The Internet in 1998 was very different.

No time, alas. I dont get paid to sleep. Off work now tho and heading to dreamland.

Different countries have different providers, use different radio frequencies, etc and thus have different hardware and so on. Phones made for a particular market might not function well (or at all) in another market. This has historically been a barrier to cross-border adoption, though it has gotten a bit better in recent years.

lol. Touché. In my defense, I have not slept in days.

I suspect mapping tourists to the USA would require moving that decimal several places to the right left

The threatened 100% semiconductor tariff is for companies not doing any production within the US. So it would mostly serve to cement the market position of large players such as TSMC, Intel, TI, et al.

Okay, but… wtf does it do?

It does look like 20K gallons by the size of it. That is about half as big as the large semi tankers that deliver gasoline.

yeah, mazut is a generic term for low grade fuel. I think here in the US it would mostly be called bunker fuel.

I mean, 7A was never a flagship, so it isnt shocking the thing doesnt impress. IMO, the A Pixels are just adequate. And that is how they are positioned. They are literally “midrange” for a reason.

My partner liked her 6A well enough, but she isnt a techie with a bazillion things going on it. And now the battery is nerfed a bit, but I guess that’s the breaks with older devices.

I like my 8 Pro well enough. I do wish it weren’t so thick, but that is mostly battery so it feels worth it. Other than that, I could wish it had a removable battery, headphone jack, IR, hell even a stylus. But again all those things would add up to being way less battery life, huge, etc.

All that said, if I felt like I had better choices, I would ditch Pixel and never look back. I am really only on this thing for GrapheneOS and the relockable bootloader. I require control over my own device. Everything else is way lower priority.
