Don't underestimate the convenience of having a decent small camera. Since it also is your all-purpose pocket computer and communication device it is super convenient. Having to grab an interchangeable lens camera out of your bag for e

In my experience the mercury amalgam fillings tend to crumble and plop out in pieces after a few years. Maybe not the entire filling, but enough to where they'll have to declare a do-over, drill and augment/replace with more mercu

I'm not sure if this is a puff piece or an ad disguised as an article, but it is quite fluffy. A more apt title would have been 'Chuchu TV is pretty great, but could it be greater?'

Are there many low-end Xiaomi phones that support AT&T? https://www.frequencycheck.com/carrier-compatibility/p5vW4/a... I thought they were mostly not useful for US carriers?

The display on that model is remarkable for a low-end device. A solid alternative would be a Moto E5 Plus. A more stock/typical Android experience, with a huge battery. It has another gigabyte of RAM, which should be a tangible upgrade

Back in 1995 warez demos were one of the things that most drove my interest in programming. Tangent: 'BBS: The Documentary'. Great film, I only wish it were about 4 hours longer -- it seems much too brief.

I do know that is the default for many popular Wordpress themes. The hamburger break-point is usually too generous. It looks like its just a poor use of spacing that leads to premature hamburgerization: https://i.imgur.com/k

Reddit has just gotten too big. So much of the bigger subs are fluffed with surreptitious sponsored content, reputation management, etc. I would have thought that that was where Reddit made the real money, by providing a back-end to make
