Dang. I haven’t had a console since NES and am bummed to hear that is a thing with a closed system at this point in time. NES only did that as it aged and we didn’t blow the right way 😅

Sometimes the game would just quit. But I remember that being more of a thing when floppies were around and playing a game in DOS using a CD was stressing the system. Or that cheap 5 in 1 floppy game package that had some bad code.

That makes this much more unfortunate.

Your first sentence needs work. This is what they are talking about. We get that English may not be your first language, and that's OK, but that sentence is pretty bad and isn't conveying a coherent message.

Maybe fb Zuck could follow in the path of the former Ron Artest.

Is she on youtube? Now I fear my niece, who has unregulated access to that "thing," seeing something or someone like her 😬

Ya 🫤 Jerry is still touring (I think). He was good live then, but the last time I saw him was like a month or two after Layne's death. It's been awhile. He's older, but so am I, and presumably you 🙂 His solo stuff was great. We ended up getting a lot of AiC stiff at that '02 show. Very solid performance. Not really related, but I've heard the Sublime stuff is good, but I wasn't ever that into them, just have a friend who has stuck with it.

I've heard the name, but otherwise I really don't know the connection. I know she is an "influencer," is it the bad influence connection?

Ya that was the one , i listened to it, also. The very beginning sounded very familiar but I'm not sure about the rest. But maybe it's been 30 years and, well 🤷♂️ I never saw Candlebox live, guess I didn't miss out. I really liked Alice in Chains but only got to see Cantrell tour while "waiting"

there was a band called Hum
Wow, what a memory trip! I listened to that song, I don't think I have heard it before, but it is great! I'm pretty sure I heard a different song from them at the time, but they probably live in my mind from looking at BMG and CD warehouse catalogs at the time. Other artists have popped up over the years from there.
I'm glad I asked, and thanks for answering! Somehow that took me back to my Candlebox days.

I wonder what future there is for non google phones like fairphone, or even apple. Do apple phones use google things?

Unrelated but is your username a play on benzene?

analog
Makes more sense now, I only picked up one the first 2/3 and thought of other things 😅

I'm not sure if AInik works, wouldn't that mean they are a fan of AI? Also unsure of the synth- options as a friend of synthesizer musicians, but as a non musician maybe I should use that myself 🤔 I can't interpret analogian without help...
But the others sound pretty great! Cogstainers is awesome because it can be reworked into different word types. Verbs, adjectives. Incredible.
- Comment on I bought a £16 smartwatch just because it used USB-C 2 months ago:
I'm curious about the reliability of this port on a sweaty wrist exposed to dust and general labor environments. My phones, even back to the proprietary plug days, have had the charge port covered and my wrist watch would get wrecked.

Does the PD standard not regulate? I've used a PD power cord from a laptop to charge a mobile phone, but that isn't exactly a small device. And maybe I shouldn't have done that...

If they had come up with something original like that, it would have been better. But creating constructive neologisms takes work, I guess.

Interesting. I clicked on a link here a couple weeks ago and was presented with this and wasn't really sure what it was. Thanks for sharing this! It seems like a good alternative.

The homeless-industrial complex. Which, having thought that out, sounds awful.

That is nuts. I've always liked hardwired better but hard to do that with a mobile phone.

I don't really understand how this works, so struggle to see any benefits (only drawbacks😐). It does make me thankful my provider is a small local company. Not the fastest, but probably no spying.
