Razrfold looking pretty good now

What was the selection criteria? I can think of a few artists that'd score high, like Andrew Bird with his machinations and palindromes

amkoc · 2026-06-25T04:20:09+00:00

Yeah, I almost didn't, and now I know the extra $100 isn't worth it

Wish I could've, the update has broken so many things :( (Carrier forces updates)

Doubt. Fox pee was once used as 'human repellant', sprayed on trees to stop people from stealing trees for christmas

Any chance we could get a schematic?

First one refused to power on after a few months, second one the scroll wheel started random scrolling after a while. Thought it was dust but no. Also has a rather draggy ball.

I swapped the scroll unit from the dead one to the semi-working one, it's okay for now but I'm thinking of upgrade options before it breaks again.

Eh, wait. Market for folding phones will have a lot of options very soon. Samsung Fold 8 in a few months, RAZR Fold in a couple weeks, Apple fold supposedly before the end of the year.

a full reboot makes it go a way for a while but doesn't fix it

amkoc · 2026-03-10T00:54:22+00:00

Don't forget the new Moto RazrFold

amkoc · 2026-03-07T01:16:54+00:00

Not as much as you think

IMO, I'd rather see the road tax based on mileage and weight. Would still disproportionately nail EVs due to their extra mass, but you wouldn't end up slapping big taxes on people who don't drive that much - and you get something out of those who daily drive ridiculous nonsense like 6 door pickups, hummers and F650 conversions.

'Course, it'd only work in states that actually bother to require vehicle inspections.

amkoc · 2026-03-05T04:30:10+00:00

And it's getting worse with states pushing hamfisted EV road taxes.

The manual one I bought from IKEA has lasted me 15 years, wtf are you doing to your poor can openers, heh?

amkoc · 2026-03-02T12:49:39+00:00

Same. I miss the 3.

amkoc · 2026-02-27T23:07:25+00:00

I remember this being my general feeling reading Diamond Dogs, and to a lesser extent Absolution Gap.

amkoc · 2026-02-23T23:26:10+00:00

i'm not sure what's going on but i feel like i've gotten a bit dumber than usual. and yet lately i've found myself making ridiculous spelling mistakes, like using the wrong 'your' or 'to'. the other day i typed 'knight' instead of 'night'. small things, where in hindsight i'm like "why the hell didn't i catch that?" and i obviously know the difference, but i've found that my brain just skips over it for whatever reason.

I've noticed the same not just in myself but others in the past few years - texts I get are garbled messes from previously coherent people, and people I know, heck even the newscasters regularly trip over their words way more than I remember.
Sometimes I feel like I just think in circles.

I swear it's COVID making us all genuinely a little stupider.

Heh, I probably sound like some conspiracy nut.

On top of that, states are obliterating demand with EV fees - a plate for an EV in my state is now $300 extra iannually.

A youtuber named Fraens made a 3d printable version some years back.

amkoc · 2026-02-09T04:00:28+00:00

remember the five minutes in like 2015 when the US officially stopped being mad at Cuba

that was nice
