The absence of aptx is baffling though, given that macOS has supported it for a decade. Same with LDAC, since the encoder does not require license fees to implement.

It's ironic that Europe adopted SMS years before we did in America because texting was absurdly expensive here. I remember paying $0.25/SMS back in 2003 or so (it dropped to a comparable bargain of $0.10/SMS after you sent 20 messages in a month), plus we had to pay to both send and receive them. I remember having to pay my parents $20/mo extra just to have unlimited SMS/MMS on my line only a couple years later once I was old enough to get a job.
I'm surprised that Europe kept up per message charges for MMS so long, they were basically always billed at the same rate as SMS here.
I used to keep one on my keys back when I worked at a carrier store selling phones. Made life so much easier then.
In fact, the actual inserted part broke off years ago (and I haven't done phone sales in over a decade), but the main part of the body is actually still attached to my keyring. I haven't even thought about that until this post, actually.
I have before. I liked it broadly, but could not fix issues with artifacting while playing video in Firefox. It's a small issue, but enough to make me go back to Arch and/or Debian.
Somehow they're an upgrade over the pure dumpster fire that was my old servicer (Fedloan, which I found out was owned by the fucking state government of Pennsylvania. Can't believe the states are allowed in the loansharking game). I still want to go to Lincoln and show them a nice time, but at least those keystone fuckers are out of the game for good.
I'm still on Crystal as the single best game in the entire series. All of what you mentioned plus the Suicune story added? Plus the intro of the animated sprites for Pokemon, it's perfection.
I mean, it was for on campus use, but I bought one in college to have a cheap note taker and basic homework machine for on campus that wouldn't set me back too far if it got stolen or broken. I had a gaming desktop at home and was in a non-technical major, so it worked out great.
I've loved clean Android since the Nexus 5 days, so the Pixel line was the natural place for me to end up. The cameras have been a nice bonus, and the call filtering alone would be enough to keep me in the Pixel camp.
They're just fluid and uncluttered, plus they can be tinkered with without voiding the warranty (unlike the Motorola I owned a while back). Helps that there's always great ROM support as well once they fall off of official support.
Facts, my car, despite having the same issues it had when I bought it, will not pass emissions despite passing with flying colors two years ago when I bought it. Of course this is right as my state is cracking down on out of date registrations, and apparently I need to spend over $1k before I'm eligible for a temp emissions waiver. Tough when I spent $2k total on the car, lmao.
I'm barely clawed out of credit card debt and here comes this stupid bomb. Damn you, Toyota, for fucking up the 1zz engine to where it develops oil burning issues that require work that's approaching a rebuild to fix, especially since the car drives perfectly fine so long as it's topped off.
