Do you ever reminisce about an old phone you had in the past?

Honestly…. No.

My old phones were crap and I don’t miss them. First phone had phantom key presses and thought it was just a browser (lg chat). My iPhone 4s has horrific battery life. Next 2 were cheap Chinese phones which parasitic bloat (blu). Then I went into Xaiomi with a phone with broken GPS, and another with broken cameras. Ok otherwise.

I now have an iPhone 15 Pro. It’s good enough I almost don’t think of it. But I kind of wish I got a Fairphone.

Stop Killing Games has exceeded 1.4 Million Signatures!

While it's easy to be pessimistic about this. This is one of the few options to make actual change. Leaving thing as they are is a worse situation since it means that companies like Ubisoft can and will destroy the games which we own.

Will there be resistance? Yes Ubisoft is already stated their opposition to it.)

But it's not up to companies like Ubisoft for how the EU makes it's laws, it's up to the EU itself. When there is potentially 1.4 million people in Europe telling you to "stop killing games" it's going to be hard to tell them no.

Google won’t repair cracked Pixel Watch screens

I miss Pebble. ePaper Display, week long battery life, and I can see all my phones notifications and reply to texts on the watch itself.

Made my old phone with bad battery life usable.

Garmin is the only "smart watch"/fitness tracker that does this and does it well. Wish it wasn't as pricy for the week long battery devices.

In wake of Windows 10 retirement, over 780,000 Windows users skip Win 11 for Linux, says Zorin OS developers — distro hits unprecedented 1 million downloads in five weeks

Zorin pro was the main reason I never stuck with Zorin OS however while they heavily advertise that the price is for the software. I think the real cost comes with “installation support”.

For many first time users, having support help with an install is a necessity and they will pay for it. See Geek Squad as an excellent example.

Plus having a preconfigured Linux experience is good for these users.
