I know it's not the same thing but the new flip phones from Motorola and Samsung have 4-ish inch screens on the front. You can run all your apps on the front screen too.

I also have had trouble during upgrades in the past.

I'll have to disagree about the purple and orange theme though. I'm personally a big fan.

In the Beginning is an anime that follows the Christian old testament up through the birth of Jesus.

There's also Superbook about 2 kids and a robot who time travel to bible times get involved in the biblical events.

Analogue is doing the lord's work. Software is easy to copy infinite times but hardware isn't prevalent or going to last forever.

I hope someday things like this will end up at a more commodity price

I will just put in my 2¢. I maintain 3d printers for a local library and while the 4 mk3s+ machines have been solid the Mini+ has been nothing but trouble.

First we had issues with the extruder, then the Bowden tube kept causing jams. Replaced that but still have a ton of stringing with the default Prusaslicer profiles with every kind of filament we have tried.

And honestly having messed with both, the additional space needed for a "full size" printer is marginal once you factor in the spool holder.

Prusaslicer is amazing. The MK3 is/was great. I don't know how much I love Bambu lab but the Prusa Mini was not great.

Jackie Daytona and Jim the Vampire would agree.

All I see around is old Cisco enterprise stuff and 1000 would be a low price for that. Not to mention the potential for quite loud fan noise.

Unifi has one with 10 gig uplinks for the same price as used Cisco stuff and it has poe also. Still 1600 bucks though.

I switched to Delta Icons, also open source also on F-Droid. They aren't as minimalist but they're neat and flat and pastel.

Funny you mentioned articons. I have actually had a lot fewer stability problems when I switched away from articons.

Dope Wars Classic. The best modern recreation of the TI Calculator/Palm Pilot game Drugwar.

Still awesome to play to this day.

Kiss is exactly what I want in a launcher. I use it but it seems to crash a lot and/or fail to run the search properly or render my icons.

Have you noticed that at all? It's happened across 2 phones for me but I may be unlucky or doing something wrong.

He would have probably done well writing for the Klingon version of J Peterman honestly.

They did that one time on Undiscovered Country. I guess that was a Klingon ship though.

Maybe its a classic situation of failing upwards. They suck too much to keep a ship of people alive but not enough to be kicked out of Starfleet, well they are getting into their sixties, what do we do? Promote them I guess, unless it's Harry Kim.

Meanwhile the ones that are amazing at their jobs like O'Brien are stuck at Chief Petty Officer.

Definitely all true. But the implication that she was made into a Romulan love slave, especially after having established her backstory always rubbed me the wrong way.

I can personally vouch for the Cooler Master NR200. Its super nice to build in and very versatile with PSU and GPU configuration.

The version I built for a friend had a 5600x with a Noctua NH-U9S and a 6700xt and absolutely zero issues with cooling.

Other than that, same thing others are saying, start with the case and power supply and then work backwards.

Funny you should mention that

This is the exact plot of Nothing but Trouble except the mayor in the movie is a literal dicknose.

That's a tricky question. In some way, an unintentional error being corrected later makes sense. Especially since something like a sound effect doesn't change the plot. It's sort of akin to using digital effects to remove visible wires from model-based space shots.

But where does it end? I don't know if I have a good answer.

Sometimes I like to make up headcanon to justify mistakes for fun. For instance, maybe the paging system on the Defiant blew out on a mission and O'Brien had to wire in a Cardassian chime temporarily while he waited for a new part to get ordered.

The main guy on this episode seems like a 1980s wrestler. Especially with the shiny outfit.
