The modern "flip" foldables like the Samsung Flip and Moto Razr let you do a lot on the front cover screen these days. When folded they are pretty comparable to early smartphones, like a wider more square Palm Pre. There's a

Are you sure? At least with Kodi for specials like Futurama you make a Season 0 with them that the scrapers understand. Seems like Jellyfin understands that too: https://jellyfin.org/docs/general/server/media&

Guess who owns Goodreads. Amazon, so no. They did add support for StoryGraph which is similar recently.

Dragonlance is still around. A new book came out this month, War Wizard. There's still Forgotten Realms books too. And lots of books about people in parties that aren't DnD spin-offs.

Libra Colour has a much better chipset than previous Kobo devices. It is very usable for PDF.

Trump has had worse WEEKS in this term than Trudeau's entire decade. Not even remotely comparable.

No, milk producers in Canada use a logo that indicates 100% Canadian milk from Canadian farms . A drop of foreign milk would obviously not be 100% Canadian milk. And even if they don't use they don't use that exact logo they still

Canada produces ~9-10 billion litres of milk a year. 65 million is less than a percent. That also doesn't mean 65 million of litres of liquid milk ends up on store shelves, that could be going into other products. It's extremely h

Milk vs. dairy products. I'm sure there's plenty of cheese/dairy based products. But liquid milk?

It's the same, just a smaller 6" Kaleido 3 screen VS. 7". Personally I find the Libra Colour fine in a lot of conditions without the front light. Kaleido 3 is darker than BW screens but it's like bad newsprint vs. good n

I had a Razr 2023. My inner screen's touch layer died out of the blue after ~1 year and a few months which essentially broke the phone (it has a very small and limited outer screen). It was otherwise pristine too, no visible damage or

Supposedly Xbox One+ discs are individually serialized which was originally going to be used for their DRM system at launch that was walked back.

I had the Expert briefly before returning it and the Ploopy Adept. The Expert doesn't have hardware remappable buttons, only software which IMO makes it no good. It is, IIRC a little bigger. The Adept does have QMK hardware remappable

It's annoying. Especially if you use those headphones on another device that has 3.5mm headphone jack and no easily accessible free USB C port. And if you need to charge and use headphones...

Because no one else really eats it or makes it. AFAIK that Purity factory is the only one in Canada making it and outside of Newfoundland it's hard to find on a normal day even in the rest of Atlantic Canada. And when you do, it's

They did update Steam and GOG sales to the Enhanced Edition for free when that launched, so "much newer sales" might still be almost 20 years old at this point.

Game Key cards have a banner on the box explaining what they are and marking them. They are IMO superior to a digital purchase in all but convenience. You can still sell, gift, loan them, require no Nintendo account to use either. And after

Most PS5 games still have the entire game on the disc and can be played offline. Sony also dumps DLC and microtransactions sales into the "proof" of digital being higher on top of digital only games. And they completely ignore use

I thought maybe you were buying one of the Levi's signature or special models they make for Wal-mart and others, but nope seems like even the full fat 501s are now 1% elastane. And they must have made this change in the last couple yea

Yeah, the UI IMO is very confusing and I'm not sure it has any benefits for me or features over the stock Kobo interface. It also will understandably never support vertical writing too so it loses some more appeal there for me.

Prior to the A11 chip they used PowerVR designed GPUs. They weren't done in house.

Even then they don't include everything on the disc. If you buy anime on Blu-ray or DVD it's really common to get both the original Japanese audio and the English dub. Even on iTunes they are often separate releases (although it l

No, but they're also monetizing a bunch of extra ways that they weren't in the past. In the PS2 era, Sony made money from the cut of physical games and accessories and maybe the console itself if it was purchased far enough into t

That hasn't been my experience on SteamOS and Bazzite. Generally the keyboard pops and you can enter text, occasionally you do need to do it manually but even then text still works. On my GPD Win Mini I actually have the opposite probl

I can never remember the data.table syntax, every time I use it I have to re-learn it. It doesn't feel very SQL to me either. There is an interface to use tidy syntax on data.tables and get's you 90% of the speed.
