I usually buy high end devices, that tend to last 4-6 years. I usually choose by camera, battery, and charging speed. I’m currently on a 4 year old Xiaomi that has an great camera, the battery still last over a day, charges 5000 mAh in slightly over an hour. I have never broken a screen or lost a phone in over 30 years. I buy the latest and greatest to make sure my investment lasts.

Wouldn't a flatter form factor be better for rear mounting?

I can get an I9 32gb 1Tb mini pc for under 500€. Where is the bargain?

I’ve often wondered why e-ink displays are so expensive

I'm a Rocket Lab fan. Tons of innovation, slower progress due to not having the richest man behind, but on track to launch a reusable medium rocket, FULLY reusable and with a sensible guy at the helm.

The last thing I want while riding, and I-ve been riding over 40 years, is another set of distractions. I don-t want music, I don’t answer phones, etc. The only thing I want is waterproof GPS-maps, which I get by using an old OUKITEL rugged phone tethered to my regular phone in my pocket, on my forearm in a flexible sports case (a mount failed me)

That was a saying in the 80s already, and still relevant today.

Trump's government efficiency guy in action, folks!

 

Does anybody have the impression that Stremio may be a honeypot of some sort?

Thay are allegedly a legal service where some nefarious actors provide torrenting plugins etc. I tried to find out how they were financed, and found northing but a site purportedly selling "Web3" advertising, and filled with technobabble nonsense. No address, no way to purchase their services no GDPR notice or anything...

All I can find regarding their safety are "It's legit, nothing has happened to me so far" comments in reddit and other boards.

They have your email, they host the service, they can track all you do...

Seems kind of fishy.

Ive tried it, ironically, to watch stuff that I pay for, I have Netflix, prime video, Disney... But Stremio gives me much higher resolutions.

Even though I live in a country where sailing the high seas is not persecuted, as long as you are the end-user and you derive no profit, I'm going to delete my account (made with an email address I have for bullshit stuff ), make a new one with a truly disposable email and get a VPN.
