Start looking up new phones figuring mine probably doesn't have long to live.

The next day it has dead pixels and a line down the screen, Google sabotage for sure!

It was close to getting squashed by a 20T crane last week, it survived two years as a mechanic's phone, that's well and truly a record for me.
I'm starting to think I should get an iPhone coz Android has gone full retard, going back to Sailfish would be nice but they only support shitty old phones.
EDIT- Maybe a SHIFTphone 8 would do, it's De-Googled and the cameras are in the middle where the good lord intended.

This morning when I woke up I was not sure if I was on the right side of the covers. I was under them of course but something just didn’t seem right.

We had a Succubus join our riding group of two and she tried to convince my riding buddy to get an E-Bike.
He asked my opinion and I said I'm perfectly fine with riding alone, he now knocks out a mid week ride to get his fitness up instead of going to the dark side.

You need a straw to check the thickness of a thickshake, if it can't stand up when angled at 85deg it is not a thickshake.

Streaming services have really entered peak enshitification, haven't they? Went to watch something on Hulu the other night and it was like, sorry, you have to be a Hulu Max subscriber to watch this thing and a Hulu Live+ member to watch that thing. What the fuck. How many subscriptions and add-ons do you expect me to maintain?

And now we've come full circle. The promise of unlimited content and no commercials with streaming services has devolved into the same shit we had back in the cable TV days. I'm buying fucking DVDs again or borrowing them from the library because everything is spread out over 10+ streaming services, all of whom want a monthly $15 subscription WITH ADS.

Fucking fuckity fuck shit.

I've given up and just use whatever free stuff we can get on our Roku TV. There's a local news "app", national news, a ton of old TV series to work though and a world of Youtube to watch.

Tell my auntie to wear something mozzie proof, she rocks up in sandals and socks.

You can take the Kiwi out of Kiwistan but you can't, take, ahhh whatever!

On a different note, why do people try to do work stuff on an iPad with add on keyboard?
Just buy a 1kg laptop, similar price to an iPad and has text that you can read.

Not really related but none of my replies really are.

A few years back I bought a NVIDIA shield for streaming because smart TV's are slow.
There were games made specifically for this device and they no longer work, that shit didn't happen with a PS2, you put the thing in and it works.
Paying for things and having them not work because of 'updates' fucking sucks.

These were a big fuck deal when I was at the airline. They almost inevitably happened after a compressor wash because some mouth breather mechanic didn't correctly follow the procedure and crap would get into the air system.

I find it odd that riders try to make bikes as light as possible then add tools in handlebars and head tubes.
If you are going to add weight to something why not add it low down? Is it a looks thing because they are hidden rather than strapped on?
Some frames have a whole bunch of suspension stuff going on down there and no twat box or room for a strapon.

I run into this sometimes. Ask for something fairly straight forward, in a given language or whatever. What is returned doesn't work, which it then tells me why it doesn't work. So it knows, but gives me something that doesn't work, why, just to fuck with me?

Meh, your IA isn't politically correct enough. The one we have at my work would apologize every time it suggests stuff it made up.

If it doesn't have to be outside, the one in the gym my mother in law goes to is in Río Gallegos, Santa Cruz, Argentina. It surely beats those kiwis below the belt (hehehe see what I did there).
