Me at the end of Metroid Dread.

I still buy physical copies for most PS4/5 and Switch titles because I'm worried about the possibility of losing access to digital copies in the future. I can also resell them, or loan them to friends. But I understand why most people have gone completely digital. I'm running out of shelf space.

My partner has an entire bookcase of them, all still in box.

For me, the switch to wireless earbuds has been mixed. Not having the cord get tangled and caught on things is nice, but I've come to dislike how precarious AirPods can feel (to me at least).

I'm always worried about them falling out of my ear and landing in a gutter or a toilet; I have to be careful pulling them out of their case and putting them back because they're easy to slip out of my fingers; I always have to remember to keep the case charged; if I want to take them off temporarily, I can't just drape them around my neck (at least not without 3rd party accessories but then you have to take those off to charge so more hassle). I feel like I just can't be as spontaneous with them as with wired ear buds.

Maybe. I've only known Snapchat used for sending pictures of one's privates, which is quite direct now that I think about it.

I think it's still used a lot for private messaging?

Has XLOOKUP made its way into the non-subscription version? I've found it a lot easier and flexible to use than VLOOKUP.

I use it on a Homepod Mini to toggle different lights and a fan. In my previous apartment I used it to control a window AC. Sometimes I tell it to pause my AppleTV if I can't find the remote quick enough. I use it with FindMy when I lose my keys or bag or whatever else (I have a lot of AirTags). Other than controlling devices I mostly use it for weather reports and timers.

My partner has been using a Samsung Fold for two years, the one that folds open into a small tablet. It looked nice at first but it hasn’t held up well. There’s this film on the screen that you’re not supposed to remove and it’s deteriorating fast. There are these little patches on the screen that look sort of like bubbles. Plus even from the start you could see the crease in the middle of the screen.

My mom was permabanned from Facebook in 2020 for constantly posting anti-vax nonsense so she just went to places like Gab and Parlor. 😑
