NO SOUP GROCERIES FOR YOU

Might I suggest American Truck Simulator / Euro Truck Simulator 2. It doesn’t cover snow and ice but does do rain that causes loss of traction and maneuverability at speed, as well as delivery deadlines, drowsiness, traffic citations, road closures and events, basic damage and wear, managing air brakes and fuel, and of course handling the trucks and their different types of trailers (and the cargo of various shapes, sizes) in a ton of situations.

I’ve put a few hundred hours into the two and if you can play with a friend it becomes a rather relaxed game for just talking and chilling out, but with a goal in mind. Can get chaotic sometimes, making mistakes like missing an exit or running short on time.

And for ATS they are releasing two ‘road trip’ dlc soon, with 4 vehicles each from Dodge/RAM and Ford, so you can make money with your rig and then race your friends cannonball-style down route 66, or from Washington to Louisiana (current furthest southeast state available for dlc), Montana to Texas, or wherever else.

All the imagined stress, all the silly shenanigans, none of the dread of wiping out an entire family in a minivan as you smash into it.

(I quite like these games, if you can’t tell)

E: actually, it does do snow - there’s a yearly holiday event that takes you to the ‘north pole’ for delivering gift boxes and whatnot. But no snow on the traditional map.

Okay grandpa, let’s get you back to the retirement home and get you your pills. I know, I know, things were better when you were young, mmmhm… change is bad, sure, sure…

I have a pinephone, it was $200. It is also hot garbage, with the performance of a 56k modem with the software cohesion of liquid shite with sprinkles.

And I knew going in that it was bad. But it was so much worse. I tried using it as my main phone for a few days, and jesus it was pain. From programs not scaling, UI elements being inaccessible, the phone locking up, the lock screen freaking out, the camera not working, the fact that it only ‘works’ on 1/3 carriers in the US, I don’t think I ever got hotspot functionality working, then I threw it in a drawer for a few months, tried it again, manjaro’s package manager freaked out and corrupted itself (and some other stuff, it’s been a few years), and the only way to fix it without going insane and restoring file-by-file was to reinstall from scratch… which required setting up the distro from inside another system.

Jesus fucking christ, what a shitshow. And I’ve been using Linux off and on for just about 20 years now for desktops, 10 years for servers.

‘you get what you pay for’ couldn’t be any more true here. For a niche device, it can be good or it can be cheap. If it is both, it is using economies of scale, and thus is not niche. And let me tell you, every single phone that is running ‘full’/‘desktop’ Linux, I assure you, is a niche product.

[citation needed], my family all runs pixels and my father is still on the pixel 6, so nearing 4.5y of daily use. Other family members get my previous models (7 Pro, 8 Pro) when I upgrade, so they are getting phones that have been used heavily every day for at least a year before I upgrade. I haven’t heard any complaints from any of them regarding battery charge/duration. I upgrade whenever I am interested in the new model, or when their device goes EoL for security updates, then pass it on.

Last issue we had regarding hardware was the nexus 5X dying, and that was because LG fucked up during manufacturing… again…

Same thing but flipped: I have never understood the appeal of fat-fingering the screen and vaguely rolling over the keys of a word so software can take a wild guess at wtf you are trying to say. “byrpkugs”? Ah yes, buttplugs, clearly.

My first phone was a bar slider qwerty dumbphone, followed by a bar slider qwerty running android 2.1, if I remember right. The phones were both garbage but the physical keys were fucking fantastic.

I’m disabled now and so only have the use of one hand, otherwise I’d be all over phones like this. Shit, even though this is not ideal for me, I’m still like 🤔

Just a data point, but I’ve been using wireless charging since the… Nexus 6? Maybe the 6p. And I’ve owned most of the nexus/pixel phones, including the 6 Pro. Never had issues with wireless charging, even when actively using the phone. It would warm up a bit from the constant use, but it would still fill the battery. It’s my primary way to charge, I only use the cable if I need the phone next to me (streaming twitch at my desk, watching Netflix in bed…) and the battery is low. As soon as I’m done/back home, it goes straight to the wireless charger. Get a text, grab the phone, reply, back it goes.

You might have a fault somewhere :/

Cases that support magsafe/pixelsnap/qi2.3 (I think) can add the magnetic feature to a non-mag qi phone.

If they are dipped in chocolate first, then no problem at all

I’m a beginner but a quick learner

While it’s rarely by default (I actually don’t know any that do by default but), it is usually a simple checkbox during the installation. And a provided password, of course.

Since that is a mid 00s Corolla, how fucking fast was it going to hit the roof? Shit tops out at like 120. And what did it hit for that launch angle?
