Pretty decent unless there’s a lot of animation / video in them. Calling, texting, looking up something on the internet, bank app, auth app, etc all work great. Some of the stock Android components don’t work super great with it, though, like the quick action buttons (though, arguably, they don’t work great on any Android phone either lol).
Feels sluggish at times but that’s just the e-ink being what it is. I mostly treat it like a dumb phone that’s also an e-reader.
If you need a good read, I highly recommend “Deep Space Nine: Millennium” trilogy. Weyoun is the big bad, naturally, and he’s got all the smarm we know and love with a heaping helping of religious zealotry on top (he’s literally Kai Weyoun in the book and is the combined worst parts of Kai Winn and Weyoun (except Weyoun 6).
I’ve always joked that coding as a hobby is just digital knitting lol.
Literally me for decades. My astigmatism wasn’t diagnosed until 2-3 years ago despite yearly (or semi-yearly) visits to the optometrist. Thought that was just how lights looked in the dark lol.
I’ve gradually weaned off of smartphones over the last 18 months. Currently daily-driving the Minimal Phone and loving its distraction-free (or at least distraction-lite) ways.
I may not be analog like the article is highlighting, but I have basically eliminated the doom scrolling and have reignited my passion for reading (the one “distraction” the Minimal Phone does well is being an e-reader since it’s got an e-ink screen).

I’m just going to ignore the irony of that and appreciate it at face value 😆
I’m sure we’re past that now and firmly in the “you’re just gonna have to deal with it” phase.
Thanks. Now I’m gonna start calling AI news summaries “tAIbloids” and make fun of the people who use them. 😆
Mine is also from the “Born to be a Bureaucrat” song but it’s the “born to be all obsessive and snotty. I made my friends and relations fill long applications to get into my tenth birthday party” part.
I loved AoS even when it started to get weird after season 5 or so. Should re-watch that soon-ish.
In VOY S5E07: Infinite Regress, Seven was sedated and Tuvok mind-melded with her to save her from the effects of the Vinculum. The way it was portrayed there, it would be like the mind melder entering the dream of the meld-ee.
It was, and I remember that too. Was just being farcical…
…to balance out the downer ending.
They actually did follow up, and the episode was one of the better ones:
Spoiler: https://memory-alpha.fandom.com/wiki/Course:_Oblivion_(episode)
Though between “Demon” and “Course Oblivion” that’s a good question. We don’t see Voyager itself getting duplicated, so I guess they spent the time building it out of rocks and then forgetting they were duplicates.
15 posts for a 3hr old account. Slow your roll, Louna.
Yep.
Most of them are phishing test emails (where the org sends out fake “phishing” emails which have a UUID link tied to your email address) so they KNOW who clicks on these and who reports them. Until I stopped giving a fuck, I had reported 100% of them and clicked on 0. But since that doesn’t let you “test out” of the 45 minute quarterly security awareness training, I stopped wasting my time and just delete them
The regular R4 is about $250 right now so I’d guess at least that much. A little pricey and probably over-powered for my use cases, but probably a bargain if you need the horsepower.
