No popup camera, but Samsung Xcover6 Pro might be your jam: https://www.gsmarena.com/...

6gb ram, 120hz display, Android 13, Snapdragon 778, SD slot, removeable battery, 3.5mm jack, USB 3.2 w/dex support.

Sled down the stairs and out the front door like in Home Alone. My stairs didn't perfectly line up so I hit the edge and went tumbling. luckily at 7 my bones were made of rubber and I only had bruises

Imagine if the US joined the rest of the civilized world and built high speed rail networks

"Boarding starts 4 hours before the flight because we have to load so many damned passengers and luggage"

There's some incredibly impressive megalithic structures in India. Look up Ajanta and Ellora caves. I believe the Ellora temple is the largest monolithic structure ever created

YouTube is super weird. I had uploaded some audio cassette tapes that I had found at my grandma's. She lived near a nuclear power plant and when the facility was built in the 80s they had handed out audio casettes to people in the area with information about what to do in emergencies, who to call for information, etc. I digitized the cassettes and put them on YouTube and they were taken down within a day. No idea why, never given a reason. It's public information as it was handed out by power plant and city government.

Also the first commercial cellular phone was released in 1983

I know I'm a minority opinion but I like having the option. It's like IR blasters, SD cards, removable batteries.... things I didn't use all the time but sometimes come very much in handy.

But why? Gmail (and email in general) is, to me, for long form communication and professional communication. Emoji are the opposite of that

I find it funny that they call the democrats "coastal elites" and then are so up in arms when the "coastal elites" try and make things less "elite"

That's because the FM signal needs an antenna that's longer than you can fit in your phone

Transitive property

I got an OBDeleven for my 2015 GTI so I could unlock stuff and customize. Enabled rolling down the windows with the key fob, being able to display the engine oil temp in the dash and also setting the accelerator pedal curve to linear.

The Martian. Watney survives a wind storm after his crewmates make an emergency escape, thinking he was dead. He wakes up, had to perform surgery on himself... Once he finishes he lays back realizing the fact that he is now stuck on Mars alone and says "fuck." Always loved how Matt Damon acted in that scene

Use the app, pop ups, auto playing videos/ads, the internet has become incredibly shitty. I went to BBC News (historically a bastion of good web practices) and they now even have a big popup to get you to sign up.

Yeah but one can infer that it's not a literal governmental force but a societal force

You signed the agreement, now we get EVERYTHING! I recently enabled duckduckgo's app tracking protection and it has been eye opening. In the past 7 days it's blocked 4200+ tracking attempts.

Pretty sure its extremely difficult to get out of Afghanistan, especially if you're a woman. In fact I don't think you can unless you're accompanied by a man. I get what you're saying but "getting out" is immensely dangerous

It's usually the birth name of a transgender person who has transitioned to a new name of their choosing. So like if Dave decided they want to be Lindsey, calling Lindsey "Dave" would be dead naming them

The Indian region has historically has been pretty resilient to famines, the exception to that is during British rule there were several famines leading to the starvation and deaths of millions. The consensus seems to be that these famines were a result of British policy. I've never heard of this unsustainable growth and famine argument I'd love to read more if you can provide sources
