Me too. My two requirements for a device are: * Being able to pay for stuff * My blood glucose sensors work (Librelink) If they worked on a dumbphone, I'd have a dumbphone.

Linux doesn't have a way, there are about 30. Ultimately though, package managers (whether it's apt, dnf, Steam, some app store, etc) are the best for most people, myself included.

I don't think cheese sticks or quesadillas are all that popular in Poland. I've never had a cheese stick or seen one in a supermarket (UK). I assume from your description it's like a fish finger but filled with cheese.

I'm so thankful for the BBC. I listen to Radio 4 through the day when I'm working on things that don't need my full concentration. It's the alarm that wakes me at 0630 and I often listen to the news before bed. Adverts d

I've used Jellyfin for years and my experience is currently incredibly smooth and works like a dream for the whole family. I only use it for movies and TV shows though, the live TV experience (with a HDHomeRun) was incredibly buggy and

Samsung are as bad as LG for advertising in their TVs. I'd happily buy and use a Dell monitor in my front room next time around. I don't use the speakers or tuner in my current TV so I'm not sure what I'd be missing out

While I think your prediction is going to come true, deep down I'm rooting for Binface. He wouldn't get away with his headgear in the commons but top hats are permitted (at least when not speaking) so he has some room for manoeuvr

I learnt to type on an Acorn Archimedes 3000 which had Ctrl to the left of A. I was so happy to find HHKBs in the late 00s had the same feature and have been using once since. I wouldn't mind never having a CapsLock again.
