Black belt implies they finished. Should be a green belt or something to be funnier.

Sounds like you liked it! I currently have a Samsung Note 8 and it's getting long in the tooth. I'll take a look :)

Can you recommend any specific model of Sony phone? I'm thinking it'll be my next one. I have an older Sony Vaio that I loved, and it ran Linux like a charm. Need a new phone and will only buy one with a microSD slot so...

We called it "Beetle Bump" but same thing.

After the release of the redesign, it sort of stopped. Only really made sense for the classic version.

I mean, python has pickle and people use that to store config. It's a weird practice, and totally unsafe, but it works well enough. This wouldn't be that different.

A lot of exploits exist to root a phone. Bad apps can abuse those exploits.

The kindness of admins is a requirement of pretty much all internet infrastructure. Email servers are the same, no? And it gets even harder with proprietary networks -- if the admins are being unkind, you can just switch discord servers or whatever. Anyway, I digress.

Yes. Built into Android Studio. Has existed for at least five years. However I only ever used it with the apps I was developing and never even considered using it as a means to launch outside apps. That probably would have been painful.

The side effect of running your own business, but not being large enough to hire a bunch of people yet -- if you take a holiday, the business just stops for that period. We can't do that, so no holidays. On call 24/7 essentially (although more realistically, I average about 60 hours per week.)

There are chicken and egg problems involved in getting that holiday. We need an employee to cover the shop, but the income needs to be high enough to afford their salary (they need to be a technical specialist like me). So I need to get to about an 60-80 hour work week to justify the employee and then find someone with the same super niche skills, and then spend a bunch of time on knowledge transfer. Ideally, they want to buy in so they're becoming part owner, but that makes it even harder to find an employee.

So, hopefully I'll get a vacation within a year or two...
