  • Another reason why it worka in place of the word death in that phrase.

    My only real experience with symbian was waaaaay back when I did tech support for l Sony Ericsson, and while I was more into modding the phones (remember those days?) and playing worms on a 1.5" screen on the walkman line of phones, I did have the p900 and the p1i.

    And let me tell you, OS aside, the P1i was indestructible.

    One exceptionally intoxicated weekend, the gf and I got into a bit of a tiff.

    She grabbed the phone and threw it out the door or the apartment, onto that polished rock type floor.

    It impacted as one would expect.

    Shattered into a hundred pieces.

    But… The screen was the old capacitive touch type, so it was a layer of plastic with a layer of plastic with a layer of plastic with ultra thin wires with a layer of plastic with a layer of glass with a layer of plastic with a layer of metal backing, and the rest of the internals were modular with push in/flip down cable clips that easily separated. The entire body was plastic.

    I laughed.

    (I’d taken it apart before because mods)

    I picked up the parts, put them together as I walked out and turned it back on.

    Anyway, symbian.

    Oh, the memories.







  • Guy I knew from China (he was a tenant here) was a student in the US before coming to study in Canada.

    He got calls and texts telling him to participate in protests or attend rallies for Republicans. Specifically one with desantis meeting with some CCP member, if I remember correctly.

    Canada has had secret Chinese police units set up shop and target students as well.

    Then again, maybe he was a spy.

    I just assume everyone is now.

    Everything is that fucked up in this world.
