What do you recommend to them if they do want to game?

Kanzi or Jazz apples.

I mean, Alt-J just aren’t that great live. I feel like they pitch-correct most of the vocals on the studio albums… I also like An Awesome Wave best but I think This Is All Yours is very very good too. But we don’t talk about the later stuff.

I love Return to the Sauce. So good.

If you count Android too, then this: I got my first Android phone when I was 10 or 11 and rooted it on the first day of having it. This was during a time when we were all still using ClockworkMod because TWRP didn’t exist yet, and I somehow ended up with a system without a kernel. Panic ensued, and I spent that entire night (like 10 hours) digging through xda in order to find a tutorial on how to get this damn phone to run again. Imagine having to tell your parents “I broke my phone I got yesterday.” I did get it working at like 6:30 AM. Fun times.

You probably have to explain what Serial actually is.

Unfortunately not possible for me. I daily Arch (btw) and hadn’t booted into Windows for months and months until my university professor came along and said “btw, we’re gonna build GUIs using Microsoft Foundation Classes in Visual Studio now, and yes, you have to use Visual Studio on Windows in the exam”. So nope, not uninstalling Windows.

I use Arch (btw) on my daily driver too, but I recently switched to Mint on my server. Too much of a hassle to constantly update on Arch. Though I do miss the AUR.

What OS are you primarily using? I’d imagine Kali for pentesting if you do that, but what do you use everyday?

Because they’d rather sell you a new phone than have you repair your device so it lasts longer. It’s capitalism at work. Same reason why everyone and their mom is moving their products to a subscription model. They want that steady flow of revenue rather than a one-off purchase price. I hate it but that’s what everything goes towards.

I could see someone wanting to change their display glass and if that’s not feasible due to availability or cost I could see that as a valid reason for a new phone but I agree that the battery is by far the biggest reason to change a phone.
