I’ve noticed that trend, especially with high-volume posters

Some things are posted with substance and other times it’s just a link to a pic of a random artefact in a museum. Ok, it’s cool looking but is it significant? Not that that matters but if you’re going to post something at least include why. Other than “I hit random”

I’m in the same boat. This type of post makes me feel like I’m having a stroke

“It is the first time astronauts have been evacuated due to a health issue since the station was put into Earth’s orbit in 1998.”

Fourth paragraph - above what you quoted

I still have it around somewhere in hopes I can fix it

When I got it, my family said it didn’t work, it had some weird error. I charged it and turned it on so they were like “sure you can have it”

It was my first smartphone,. actually, and I used it for quite a while until it died again. I don’t remember the error, but it was basically bricked and I couldn’t factory reset it via the phone menu. I had a very young child and trying to figure out the android sdk for a computer to fiddle that out was too taxing for me

I really liked that phone for sure. I’m sure it’s a lot of nostalgia, but I miss the older simpler phones. Much easier to handle, too.

I’ve currently just been using every couple generations of the Xa model. This one’s a pixel 7a, last was a 4a which the child has now. It’s got severe battery life issues after that update recently but I haven’t looked into it too hard. Been wanting to look for some alternatives and I’m leaning towards something unconventional, at least by today’s standards. I checked out that phone and it really looks good, both aesthetically and specs wise

I had a Nexus that I got as a hand me down. It had a ball with customizable colors

The next one I had after that had an led you could customize for different types of notifications

Oh I made another comment but this was what I was talking about! I was talking to my partner about it last night after watching the CES video. I couldn’t remember the name but this is exactly it

I said it was “Rock Pops” because i think that’s great

I watched a video about the worst of CES. I was kind of amused that some of the winners of worst-of weren’t even new ideas

There was a candy I remember that from a long time ago, idk 2000ish? It was a lollipop you bit down on and you could hear music played through your teeth. I never tried it but it was sold where I worked

Another idea, the worst of the worst, was the smart fridge. I remember from business classes I took many years ago used that as an example of innovation. Or a “smart” microwave. You let it know what ingredients you have, for example by scanning the barcode, so it can recommend recipes or alert you when something is running low

The rendition of those ideas at the CES were so out of touch
