> Then the old Sony Ericssons would be her best option I think. Definitely not. No chat apps, no proper camera, no email, no video calls.

Is there a reason to think that this might not have equally good software for taking pictures? Almost, at least. There are a lot of phones in the market with good cameras (yes, + software). We won't know until someone tries it.

I can see a niche (or two) for this. My wife hates every smartphone that is currently in the market. They are all too huge for her. She has an iphone SE which was the best compromise at the time, although she still finds it big. She doesn&#

You can't do video calls on those sub $100 phones though. Don't let the form factor fool you, this is not a dumb phone.

Oh, I stand corrected, thank you. I actually looked and couldn't find it. Indeed they could market it better.

No it isn't. Not unless it's free. This is the main reason letsencrypt is so popular.

You don't have to span several centuries to witness that. "και" is pronounced in several different ways in modern greek as well. But that's besides my original point.

Indeed, in ancient greek they put the "δέκα" (ten) part second. Τρία και δέκα (13), τέσσερα και δέκα (14), πέντε και δέκα (15), etc, but 11 and 12 was (and still is in modern greek) irregular, έντεκα (enteka) and δώδεκα (dodeka) r

As the sibling comment already said "kai" (pronounced ke like in keg) just means "and". So it literally means 4 and 10 sides in greek. But I have often seen it written as τετραδεκάεδρο (tetradecahedron) in greek as well,

So, should they stop commuting to work to afford their AI subscription? Or perhaps just don't eat anything for 5 days a month?

Yes, that's precisely the reason why California is one of the poorest states in the US. People are just dumber there, it's the heat you see. What a load of pseudoscientific garbage disguising racism.

Directory support and hierarchical filesystems were only supported after version 2.0. Until then, the experience was identical to CP/M. Not that it was that much of an important feature at that time either. With the 360KB size of 5.25&
