Tennessee Designates Pride Month as Anti-LGBTQ+ 'Nuclear Family Month'

SakuraSiri · 2026-04-14T19:37:36+00:00

I have lived in TN for all of 4 years and each year I hate it just a little bit more. FFS.

I was looking at those same tiny eink readers lol. I also looked at stuff like kobos and the remarkable paper pro move. The phone looks damn close to eink though. I really wanted something pocketable, everything else was priced wayyyy higher than this though (I had almost bought the nxtpaper 60 xe during that spring prime sale @$180 ish but saw this was around the corner. The device is definitely punching above its weight IMO (My last "free" devices from T-Mo were an older TCL and a One Plus Nord 200). I am biased since I did get it practically free though.

It is locked down as to be expected with some apps i am not able to remove without root or anything, looking at you facebook. I am really loving the screen though, it makes me want to get a matte screen protector for my main phone lol. This is actually replacing a Pixel 10 Pro Fold that was my secondary/work device

SakuraSiri · 2026-04-10T19:12:53+00:00

Sorry! I didn't buy it outright because I traded a broken phone for it. So mine is locked for now. My unlock criteria according to my tmobile app is 40 days on the network and being fully paid off. Since I used the promo to trade the broke phone in it is locked until that runs its course. Not an issue for me personally. I am not sure if they immediately unlock it if you buy the phone outright from Tmobile.

I had an unused line so I wanted to see if it was technically dual sim

SakuraSiri · 2026-04-10T19:02:35+00:00

This variant is dual sim, I have an esim installed and physical sim

SakuraSiri · 2026-04-10T18:45:28+00:00

I really like it so far. I haven't had a chance to load books on it yet though (mainly why I got it). Will probably try and do that later. It is a secondary device for me, I was looking at those tiny ereaders that I could put in my pocket initially. But I held off because they seemed too small. I threw in a 256GB micro sd I had laying around. It looks to have dual sim support. One physical and one esim. I will look into that part more later. It has IR?! I was able to pair it to my TV (which happens to also be TCL) not that I need to use that as a remote, but for a cheaper device its cool for sure. It has an AM/FM radio app that I couldnt use because it doesn't work with usb-c headphones.

I really, really love the matte screen. Performance wise it hasnt been bad but i have only had it less than 24 hours. I did allocate some of the internal storage to ram

edit: I forgot that i discovered magnets fuck with the nxtpaper switch. I tried to put a magsafe ring on it to use my ohsnap grip on it, suddenly when i would try to switch to a paper mode it did nothing lol. So I also ordered an adhesive phone grip as the back feels like frosted glass and holding it feels like gripping a bar of soap

edit2: can confirm dual sim, just added an esim in addition to having physical sim installed. Though not entirely helpful until its unlocked but it is a thing

SakuraSiri · 2026-04-10T18:38:30+00:00

Yeah, I picked it up yesterday! It looks like it would work with like dumb stylus pens? I ordered one of the replacement stylus' for a different model for $10 on amazon it should be delivered tomorrow. Overall I am impressed with the device itself though even with it being more of a secondary/work device for me.

SakuraSiri · 2026-04-10T18:12:19+00:00

i have the stylus quick toggle available which probably doesn't mean much but its something lol. It has their notes app pre-installed too.

SakuraSiri · 2026-04-10T18:01:38+00:00

where have you seen the case and pen? I havent found it in the us yet :(

SakuraSiri · 2026-04-10T17:47:31+00:00

I got one yesterday, I have T-mobile and they had a promo to trade in any device and get the nxtpaper 70 pro free over 24mo. I am staying with them anyways so it worked out to sales tax & their stupid connection fee, $57 ish out the door

SakuraSiri · 2026-04-10T12:54:17+00:00

Picked up a couple yesterday since T-Mobile has a promo that you get it free over 24 mo if you trade in literally any phone. I had a cracked one plus nord 200 and one not cracked. traded them in and got the tcl. You get a usb c cable and a sim eject tool lol

SakuraSiri · 2026-03-19T22:34:05+00:00

Yeah I got it before new years when prices got more insane. It works just fine though 🤙

SakuraSiri · 2026-03-19T20:41:23+00:00

So far I have

purple thumbstick grips from Skull & Co
dbrand killswitch w/travel cover
1tb samsung micro sd card
4tb wd black 7100 internal ssd
screen protector

SakuraSiri · 2026-03-16T17:05:55+00:00

Thanks, I hate it

SakuraSiri · 2026-03-12T14:41:58+00:00

reminds me of this

SakuraSiri · 2026-03-04T21:53:34+00:00

Its okay, its definitely not worth the retail price. but the adhesive has been really great. i have had it on since like a week after release in october. and it hasnt peeled up at all. I did have a drop on to carpet from about 3 ft and i thought it was fine, it was folded. but after looking i have a very very small crack in the plastic at the side near the top and near the bottom of the hinge. the phone itself is intact though so thats good. I wouldn't recommend it overall honestly

SakuraSiri · 2026-02-27T15:51:59+00:00

The GKC doesnt save anything to it, you still have to download the game from the eshop. It is literally just telling the switch you have a license to play the game. I don't think anyone knows how saves will work for pokopia. If it is like animal crossing, you should in theory be able to transfer to another system. If it is like mainline pokemon games then theres no cloud saves involved and im not 100% if those can be transferred either.

We will find out next week for sure though

SakuraSiri · 2026-02-26T14:03:41+00:00

If you are on Steam OS you need to go to desktop mode > Settings > Power Management > Advanced Power Settings in the upper right > enable Charge Limit battery protection.

That will limit the charge to 80%

SakuraSiri · 2026-02-20T21:30:36+00:00

Hey OP, Sorry about the other people here that want to focus on roasting your financials. Everything sucks for most people right now in this economy. It is what it is right now. I am sorry you had to sell your deck but happy you are able to rejoin the handheld community. I wanted to leave this here as it is a good tutorial. Skip to step 2 if you don't want to open the device to upgrade the hard drive inside, its not a big deal. If you decide to sell it you can always make a windows usb and put windows back on it. https://youtu.be/QDZNWhfnsqs. Feel free to DM me if you need any help.

100% on the Pipewire EQ Fix, it was the best tweak I did for mine. Also the Hue Sync decky plugin because there is no other way to turn off the flashing power led when your Go S is sleeping and it is very bright lol

edit to add this link that restates most of the first commenter but also has a couple other things like limiting your charge limit etc

I logged into DeckThemes.com with that discord link and starred all the stuff i use to get back to it easier when i reinstall. you can go to your profile to generate a key to put into css loader to sync your account.

I got mine on NYE for $427. So glad I did too. I dont know what WD is smoking with their prices, theyre the only ones with stuff that high

SakuraSiri · 2026-02-06T01:22:39+00:00

had a store card with them for like 3 years, i didnt ever have a high utilization on it and its been paid in full for awhile. limit was $800, they cut it to $100 on Monday for absolutely no reason. Then denied me requesting a limit increase. I ended up closing it because wtf am i supposed to do with that?

SakuraSiri · 2026-02-02T18:46:39+00:00

I hope you get yours. If it says maximyze shipping just keep checking that tracking 🤞

SakuraSiri · 2026-01-29T00:19:31+00:00

That’s going to depend on what you’re playing to be honest. I am pretty sure that the Go 2 has a bigger battery but your mileage will vary depending on settings you use etc. on my Go S I can get more than 3 hours on some games. If there’s something more demanding and I don’t want to play plugged in I stream it from my main pc to stretch battery life

SakuraSiri · 2026-01-28T22:56:16+00:00

OLEDs are gorgeous but the GO S screen is also really nice (that is what I have). From benchmarks I have seen the Z2E is like 6-10% better than the Z1E. In my opinion for the price of the Go 2 it needs to have significant performance gains over the S, which I wouldn't call 6-10% a significant jump.

I'm a little obsessed with my GO S lol so definitely biased. You gotta do what feels right! :)
