  • I’ve been really considering one but I’m not sold yet.

    I’ve been wanting a tablet or small laptop to do some minor computer stuff sitting on the couch, like looking up recipes or updating budget sheets, researching new products, but I couldn’t justify the cost of either considering its a fairly minor upgrade to my “workflow” vs the phone or sitting at my desktop.

    But now my Note 20 5G is aging. The back plastic popped off (though I bet I can glue it back on), the screen is cracked in a way that doesn’t really matter and one of the back camera glass covers also has cracked. Otherwise, it’s been functioning fine, so I can keep using this for another year or so, but it’s also an opportunity to look at the foldable.

    I’m looking at the Samsung Galaxy Fold 6, but I’d honestly rather get the Honor Magic V3, since it’s pretty much the same specs at a lower price, but I’m in the US so importing one seems tricky.

    I held a coworkers and one small benefit I didn’t realize when looking at ads was that when folded, it’s thinner than the Note so it would be easier to operate with one hand.

















  • I don’t think Santa = swastika but it is super tiresome when Halloween ends and suddenly there’s Christmas shit everywhere. I know it’s more a factor of capitalism than Christianity, but it even infects the meager Hanukkah end caps we get. There’s frequently products being sold that are clearly just Christmas goods painted blue and white (argh) paraded around as Hanukkah goods. Fuckin blue and white pine tree tchotchkes? C’mon what the fuck is that? Hell, one year I saw “chocolate Maccabes” which were literally just chocolate Santa candies in a different foil.

    It’s all expected, it happens every year (though the holiday seems to take up more of the calendar each year), but damn is it tiresome. And don’t get me started on the music!
