The watch has a great size and screen to start with. The main demerits are the poor battery life and locking features behind a paywall. There are features provided with similar products like the Apple Watch that are locked behind a fit bit subscription.

You’re right about the vagueness. I didn’t want to spill about it unless someone wanted the details. Which would you like to know about the watch or the phone?

I’d say it’s not worth it unless it’s super cheap. I have one I bought at full price that has been in its box since I bought it. Used it for one week to really give it a go. The issues I had with it in combination with the pixel 6 I also don’t use anymore are the reason I am losing faith in Google’s vision of Android hardware.

I worked for Asurion and they are a bunch of crooks. Charging people to reload a factory image on their device. I used to do it for free anyway and give away back glasses with screen repairs.

I’m really interested in the tab s9 series. Anything stand out to you such as performance or screen quality? I really want to get another Android tablet to replace my old tab s6 but I really want something more performant for the money.

I always like running Lubuntu on stuff like this. I have a netbook running an older Atom CPU and 2GB of DDr2. It runs very well on Lubuntu.

I listened to this today and I believe they have a lot of potential to last. They’re working out some kinks like audio but I know they’re all more than smart enough to get it. Getting sponsors for hardware reviews is going to be crucial too.

While I don’t use safari as my main browser I don’t understand the hate. I love using safari when I’m trying to use a site that isn’t playing nice with Firefox or I’m trying to extend the battery of my laptop.

I didn’t know they had their last episode until Jason mentioned it on another show. Pretty shitty it happened but I think that the new show can be just as good and hopefully better!

I’m sorry man, I really don’t like the way that happened. I was down for having a nice conversation about comparing the pros and cons of Mac OS, Crome OS, Windows, and other Linux Derivatives/Distros.

You’re right, they make premium ones too. I just started seeing these. Do you know if they offer more features other than build quality/screen quality/etc? I would imagine the Chromebooks would have battery life advantages at least over a windows PC equivalent.

You’re totally right. I was simply trying to make the point for using one over a chrome book considering the low impact work flow. I think there are some Chromebooks that cost as much as the MacBook Air? Who are those for?

Would you blame them for wanting a good machine? I know Chromebooks are fine for papers and browsing but like budget windows computers, they’re built like shit.

I remember using one called crunch bang on my 1.6 ghz Sempron machine.

I’m not well versed with Linux but I saw a lot of people saying open SUSE tumbleweed was pretty good. I’m gonna try this today for my new low power Plex/home bridge machine.

I think this was considered the official one from Reddit. They also made a post about merging today.
