D+ dropped support for my tablet since the Android version is too old, but I just ran Firefox in desktop mode and that worked. I don’t know whether it made a difference that it’s a tablet vs phone though

Still got my phone from 2020, I really like the phone but the software is creaking, even the custom ROM I moved to is now discontinued and no Lineage available.

I looked at porting something myself but it is … not trivial to say the least.

Just feels frustrating that the phone still works fine but is gradually losing functionality and I can’t update it. Also ngl I really miss having contactless payments. I’ve tried all the fixes I can find online with no success.

I called this out after my first trip to the US, and then I came back to the UK just in time for the coronation weekend. Hahaha we definitely outdid them a bit in terms of flags which shut me right up. Especially working for an American employer for some reason, we went all out with a work do in the UK, union flags galore.

The difference is all our flags went away again straight after the coronation.

In Windows 95, wordpad was still write.exe, is it possible they just renamed it?

No, it’s not just about DRM, currently the storefronts do not guarantee continued access to the content.

For example, Valve can just close your Steam account at their discretion and you would no longer be able to log in or download any of your games

100% and I’m sure you know this too but just to add to your point, I believe the US government spends more money per capita on healthcare than anywhere in Europe, so even under the “Why should I?” lens, the current approach costs individuals more because they have to pay for it in taxes and then also in insurance premiums, copay etc.

It’s not just for the benefit of society as a whole, “you” as an individual would also be financially better off under a socialised system.

Hasn’t been called “.NET Core” since 3.1

Although it’s essentially the subsequent version of core, .NET 5 is the successor to both .NET Core 3.1 and .NET Framework 4.

Since then, it’s just been called .NET 5/6/7/8/…

Could be or it’s just counting the longest border they share

I think it’s just measuring the longest contiguous border.

The border with Spain has Andorra in the middle

My mum is like this but I think this kind of thing depends on where you’re at in your financial journey and also the type of person you are.

I find that cash burns a hole in my pocket and I check my apps regularly to track spending so any cash effectively just “disappears”, I won’t even remember what I spent it on.

I completely prefer digital spending because for me it’s easier not to lose track and if I seem short, I can trace exactly where it went.

If you’re someone who is not in financial trouble and pays off credit cards regularly then I advise trying to find one with decent rewards and use it for as much of your spending as possible.

This not only gets you air miles / cash back but also helps to build a strong credit record if you’re looking to buy a house, car, … in the future.

That was quite a read.

Thanks for sharing.

BDS?

We basically do, it’s just that your two options depend on where you live, e.g. Scotland, Northern Ireland, etc. but for pretty much every seat there’s only one or two people with a real chance of winning

Here in the UK, you’ll need a licence rather than a license :)

Ah yes. There’s actually quite a lot of jokes that feel more controversial in retrospect but yeah that one’s pretty bad

Which one is that one?
