I had a Fold 3, and while I loved the form factor, the battery was shit.

The screen got broken, and I decided to upgrade to a Fold 6 so far I'm very impressed. I took it off the charger in my car at 100% on Wednesday night around 10pm, and put it back on the charger at 11:30pm Friday with 15% left.

48 hours with moderate usage (including some gaming and YouTube) is pretty good.

But non-tech people aren't buying Faiphones, but whatever they're pushing at the Verizon store.

Unless you have an older machine, probably the Coke guy.

Coke wants to control what drinks are in the machine and what percentage of the take Coke gets, so they refill the machines.

We used to have an older machine on an old contract, and since we didn't really care about the income from it we let Coke swap it for a new one they'd service.

About 2 months later, they said we weren't selling enough drinks and took the new machine away.

Coca-Cola owns the machines, btw.

Buying studios wasn't stupid.

Doing it and putting all their products on a subscription service is.

They know they've destroyed the planet, so why bother planning for a future they've already prevented.

That's using the budget they have now.

The new budget going through right now increases their budget to an absurd degree. ICE is about to have a larger budget than any other country's entire military and defense budget.

They're 100% militarizing the gestapo.

I live in Texas. I own like 2 shirts with long sleeves in case I have to go to a funeral or something.

RICO stands for "Racketeer Influenced and Corrupt Organizations"

That's the first item on the list.

Incels are dangeous, man.

Don't forget the rolling view counter and the guestbook!

I have health insurance in the US and still have to pay a fuckton in copays to use it.

In early May, I searched GPs on my Healthcare plan, and I get to see a doctor on Jully 11.

I'm stocking up on ammunition in case I need it for self-defense and using a no-log VPN when criticizing the government.

So I'm gonna go with "No."

That's just because Microsoft waited until Android and iOS were well-established before trying to make a smartphone OS. It could have been the best OS ever made, and it still would have been a failure because there wasn't a market for a third OS. It was hard enough at the time to get apps developed for both iOS and Android - there wasn't room for a third player.

The regional term that pegs me to where I grew up is calling access roads "feeders."

The Schumaker films had good casting. Clooney, Kilmer, Thurman, Jones, and Carrey were all great for their roles. They just happened to be cast in terrible films.

They can be awful on multiple fronts.

Everyone talking about how it's because of Windows 11 or their greed driving people away, etc. But they're ignoring the big one:

People don't need as many computers these days. You don't have a lot of households with a laptop for every member of the family because smartphones and tablets have replaced the PC for many people for media consumption and basic tasks.

Sometimes re-wiring a house or building isn't as practical as setting up a mesh network that's good-enough.

It's a bad band for cellular. It's short-range and shit at penetration.

It's really not even that good for wifi unless you're close or have a mesh network with APs all over the building.
