What’s wrong with other sweeteners?
What’s wrong with other sweeteners?
Probably a healthy think to try like cutting back on drinking or sweets.
Probably won’t make much of a difference environmentally though, and I hope this being a “challenge” doesn’t sprout an industry of pinning issues on people who consider new clothing a luxury.
When you ditch the smartphone, you make up for it on other ways.
Only picked it up a few days ago.
I went the dumb phone route in March of 2023 because I was constantly scrolling or getting distracted while I was out with my wife. (Still use my iPhone on WiFi at home). Found that it worked well for me, but there would be the occasional question I’d have and have no way to look it up besides asking to borrow my wife’s phone.
She got annoyed, so I got the Rabbit used on eBay for $130. Got a $5/mo sim for it. I think it’s made a lot of improvement since initial launch comparing my experience to reviews. Battery life is well over a day for me, and I haven’t had it glitch out too terribly. Even the scroll wheel isn’t as bad as they say.
You just have to assume that 20% of the time, it’s entirely wrong. Like Diane Keaton wasn’t in 1989’s Parenthood, it was Diane Wiess.
I bought it under the assumption that the company would fold in a year or so, but there’s already a community rooting them and installing base Android. For $130, it’s worth whatever I can get out of it.
Edit: also aware of the glaring security hole, so no personal questions to the R1
Right pocket: Sunbeam F1 flip phone, space pen, moleskin notebook
Left pocket: rotates between Arduboy, Moaan eReader, Flipper Zero, or Rabbit R1
Rear right: wallet (containing car keycard)
Attached to belt: Ricoh GRIII camera
4 gigs of ram, 100+ gigs of storage, and a cute design. Meh. At least it’s not totally useless.
I bought a Rabbit R1 for half off used on eBay, but only after I learned you can install full Android on it.
Yeah I think they needed horsepower to run some sophisticated models in Matlab, and Apple had a killer educational discount.
How did you feel about the L3 charging rate? 50kW isn’t super fast.
I just want an EV company to make the equivalent of a shitty Toyota Prius.
Just seemed odd to pay your way into the Apple ecosystem just to wipe it and install Ubuntu
Yeah, but he’s right about that part. Hybrid cars are just BEVs with more steps that can’t be recharged at home. Maybe useful for planes and other specific applications. Dumb for cars.
I remember having my mind blown in college when I saw a Mac Pro tower running Ubuntu in a lab.

If you want to spite this guy, ride a bus.
Huh. Didn’t know TiVo was still around.
We use a Tabo at home. Like TiVo, but primarily for network access from phones/media streamers. Has a similar lifetime subscription too.
You could even use one from the 1940s if you want!
Assuming your tuner was manufactured later than around 2005 and supports ATSC digital broadcasts. Also makes me wonder when you got your TiVo. I thought they were dead long before everything went digital.
Yeah, and increasing your buying power can talk you into making a larger purchase than you might otherwise have made.
What a coincidence that the best broadcaster who ever lived or will ever live happened to be alive in time for us to record him and immortalize his voice to use for generations to come.
That’s why we’re doing this, right? Because there’s no other human alive who is capable of reading a script as well?
Electrical engineer. You can’t develop and ship an iPhone in a year. Apple has multiple generations under development at the same time.
