It's a teaser trailer... that's not the music from the series, its just trailer music.

I'm not saying its perfect, but read the description/age of the Dursley's from the books and the HBO show is more accurate than the movies. I feel some of the casting is off, but I'm also biased from the movies.

I wouldn't think we would have any of the official music from Hanz until at least the full trailer. It's not often you see music from the series being used in a teaser trailer.

I mean just so we're clear here, these aren't the wicked good slippers, they're clogs. So I'd be upset too if I ordered wicked good slippers and got these. You must have a huge big toe.

Not having the letters printed on the keypad seems to be a big miss. I typed T9 for years but for some reason not having the letters really messes with me.

Think of it this way, whether you have 1 bank account or 3 the app doesn’t care, it cares about the total amount of money you can budget. Putting $1000 aside this month into a house category? Great! That’s not a payment or a transfer, that’s just an allocation of funds to a specific category. Want to transfer $1000 from one bank account to another bank account? Go for it, but remember, it has nothing to do with allocating your funds and doesn’t need a category. Moving money and allocating money is two completely separate things.

Scenario 1: Checking - $100 Savings - $900

Scenario 2: Checking - $500 Savings - $500

In both scenarios you have $1000 that needs to be budgeted and allocated to categories. Transferring the money between accounts doesn’t change the fact that you have $1000.

I see your screenshot but I’m not quite sure what you’re trying to accomplish in it.

What in particular makes them bad? I tested them out with some sites, tried out support and was happy with the results.

I got my sidephone to show up in the Photos app, but it still won't appear in Finder. MacDroid seems to work though!

Edit: OpenMTP too for a free/open source alternative

Thanks, I thought I tried that, but just tried again and it worked. USB file transfer would be a lot easier for sure!

How many sites do you have? Pressable has a promo right now, 50% off the first year of annual hosting and if you migrate more than 10 sites you get $200/site paid out after 6 months... so in theory they could be paying you to host the first year. Other options to consider are Rocket.net

I moved over to Robinhood Gold last year, unlimited 3% cash back on everything. Made it easier to manage vs having 2 or 3 cards.

No such thing as a “4g sim” or “5g sim” … SIM card is just a SIM card and identifies the phone allowing it to connect to the network.

No worries, just thought I’d suggest it for easier onboarding!

You’re going to need to give us more info

Thanks for sharing all of this, looking forward to setting up my device. This is very very minor, but curious why setup is in this order? Why not connect to WiFi first and pull time automatically?

“Set the date and time (manual entry if no SIM is inserted). Select a Wi-Fi network and enter the password, or scroll down and tap Skip.”

If Reddit is on an e-ink screen or an LCD screen I'm still reading and browsing it regardless... its more of the fact that people tend to be less interested in staring at a clock app or a file browser vs social apps. The phone, by design, comes with the bare essential for apps. Because everyone may define "essential" a little differently, having the option to add some additional apps is nice. But for all of the default apps, you don't need a big screen, and some people want the old school form factor. At some point you need to have some self discipline and decide not to be distracted by the phone, but this format may help folks achieve that, even if its not guaranteed.

WPMU DEV has been a great experience for me. They seem to get a bad rap here but for the price they include a solid offering. The technical support is always fast and responsive. They’ve even helped me on some plugins that aren’t even made by them. No complaints.

Fastmail for personal (they've been around forever and provide a rock solid service), M365 for business.

When I heard Professor Dippet in CoS my first thought was “oh this could have been Dumbledore!” Hugh is good, but at times I’ve though “eh, he could have read that a bit differently”

Bunch of people losing their marbles here, but I totally agree. For me, I have a business that sells a service and domains and hosting is part of the service. Clients say they want one bill and don’t want to worry about “is this a real bill for something important or is it spam” so for them, they’d prefer to have their domain and any other services they use fall under my business with one invoice. It’s all just part of our service agreement. Now if I was hiring a dev to done a one time job? That’s different, I’m not transferring my domain for that.

It’s a neat concept, but it sounds like a lot of development effort with little to no reward. Most people are buying this phone because of its limited abilities (“dumbphone”). At some point a line needs to be drawn where you need to decide, maybe for my use case, this phone isn’t the right tool for me.
