the cheap flip phones are truly dollar-store build quality and cameras. mine has a crappy radio, it seems, too… nearly always roaming on another carrier’s nearby tower because it can’t pick up the vzn one just a couple miles outside of town.
the ‘rugged’ ones are built better and can take a literal beating and still work, but they cost as much as a recent model 128gb smart phone… and still have squat for storage and lousy cameras.
“Consumers can now choose whether to add Commodore’s custom-designed Hi-Def IEM earphones during checkout, rather than needing to pay for them when they may already own a pair they love. Premium memory will be available as an option, with Callback defaulting to rigorously stress-tested “post-consumer” high-speed memory chips, backed by Commodore’s identical, comprehensive 1-Year warranty.”
so… to lower the retail by $100… earbuds not included, and reclaimed ewaste memory chips (hopefully that does not also include the main storage) now the default configuration.
…meaning you shouldn’t be using any of them now, i guess.
i would trust a notepad file or spreadsheet on my pc over any online service.
i hate siding with a megacorp like disney, but eric idle says it best (2018 version):

the bits for the ‘upgrade’ have been flowing-in through regular updates for months, with features left disabled… slowing those updates every single month. the upgrade time was just spread out in installments, instead of being paid all at once.
they were on a street that is also carries state and u.s. highway designation, just past the municipal boundary. small town here, there literally are no ‘subdivisions’ or hoa anywhere around.
just walking a mile down a road i haven’t been down in years, i spotted two of them. there’s been absolutely no local coverage about it… and scanning local municipal and town meeting minutes for the last several years–not one mention of them.
lastpass is already on my ‘stay far away from’ list, and have been on it for years:
‘hybrid sleep’ does write the hibernate file before going into ‘sleep mode’. if you have an older system or one that doesn’t use ‘modern standby’ and you have an ssd, you might want to double-check that setting in your power scheme advanced settings.
the culprit is actually probably “fast startup” which writes a hibernate file every shutdown. every “normal” ‘shutdown’… close programs, logoff, hibernate, power off. this feature is unnecessary on systems with ssd but it continues to be enabled by default. it was created in the days of old to make hdd systems appear to boot up faster by not actually starting up windows on every power on.
hibernate isn’t enabled by default.
the other writer of hibernate data, hybrid sleep, doesn’t even exist on a newer system that uses ‘modern standby’… but is enabled by default on desktops that do not.
double-down and do something even more stupid. it’s what they do.
good thing the planet spins around and goes around on its own, because they’d find a way to fuck that up, too.

my boss always does this now, she learned her lesson ‘the hard way’ about third-party sites years ago.
do not get a vizio. that’s walmart trash now.
can those be “set up properly” without having to use a wm or google account?
am still an Android engineer, but all my TV systems are Apple TV. This should tell you everything.
i run into other cases like that… ‘i work on x but use y instead’.
hell, i work in and on windows shit and “smart” devices, but i run linux and have a flip phone.
very similar to my dietpi running on a low-power sff, except i use the hotspot app in dietpi and leave the guest ssid on the main router for stuff i dont want going through the pihole|adguard home (but don’t want on the main network)
that’s a nice idea, but when they catch-on it probably wouldn’t survive six months before breaking changes are implemented on the backend somewhere.
pi or old pc/laptop, maybe? with remote control or mini wireless kb/mouse (what i use, one with trackpad integrated) or one of these remote control sized ones?
$22 billion to get the maga propaganda machine front-and-center on more screens than cable tv ever did, and timing is just right to get it all going in time for 2028.
eating their own dog food, are they?
they’ll have to hire an actual developer to fix it.
