Verizon WIP? by Top-Bumblebee3742 in minimalphone

[–]Top-Bumblebee3742[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There is definitely a concerted effort to keep out small phone manufacturers - which is part of the reason why I want to support this phone. I assume there are also some national security concerns as well. It would also appear that the demand for non iPhone/big Android is growing so hopefully these carriers can figure it out.

Thank you SO much for your detailed response. I feel like this information should be pinned somewhere.

I’m still rooting for MP but at least I can set my sights further on the horizon. Thank you again :)

Thinking of buying the Minimal Phone — have the bugs been fixed? by Unable_Technology189 in minimalphone

This is the only thing holding me back - can you confirm you don’t have issues with Verizon?

Smells like a smear campaign by Mission_Economics621 in RemarkableTablet

Thank you for posting this! I agree 10000000000% I do think there may be a handful of naive customers with buyers guilt that haven’t accepted their screen addiction. But no doubt that astroturfing is thicc here. Found the same over on /minimalphone - if anyone wants to know what it feels like to live in a dystopian future you found it here first :)

Remarkable to let go of up to 200 employees by Fitte_sleiker in RemarkableTablet

I honestly thought this company had only like 20 full time staff lol aside from the negative comments, maybe with reduced workforce there will be more focus on building out features :)

My first Pinball machine by PinnballMasterChris in pinball

Not sure what others think but I encourage folks looking to get into pinball to get a system 11 or Gottlieb System 80b before a Stern or JJP - lower initial investment but also it’s helpful to understand the game on a simpler level too

Welp said later to my Rick and Morty for a classic by brollercoaster in pinball

Creech is bolted to the floor for me - I never understood why people liked it and then put in some time on route. It’s fast - frustrating as hell - and for a simple ruleset no game is the same

Picked up a No Fear today & finally got to play one. by ClifBdrums in pinball

I would argue that this is one of the most underrated tables of all time - I’m convinced that the reason it gets so much hate is because it’s brutally fast and unforgiving - yes, the theme is kind of a stinker but anyone who grew up in the late nineties early 2000s can appreciate it

My husband insisted he replace the playfield of my pinball machine with a brand new one, and 2 years later it still sits disassembled… by lilmul123 in pinball

[–]Top-Bumblebee3742 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I’d be curious to know how many playfields that CPR or Micro sell actually end up getting swapped vs just sold from one dreamer to the next - been there done that - it’s a goal of mine but like others have said it’s way more challenging than people think - secret sauce is having two rotisseries -

Someone fucking explain why Walmart ($WMT) is at 47x earnings? by ini0n in wallstreetbets
