i went to a school with uniforms in the 90s and you could tell who the cool kids were bc they wore jncos on the "casual dress" days

after getting made fun of for wearing "tight" wranglers i got my mom to get me some lee pipes from marshalls, so i could instead get made fun of for not wearing the correct brand of mega baggy pants

did you grow up in a weird secluded sect maybe?

are you at least aware that extremely baggy / bellbottom pants were all the rage even if they were sometimes not-cool brands?

nobody gives a poo poo about the brands, idk that you could even get jncos in denmark

they're just the american goto word for that wide-legged weirdly bell-bottom fashion though. so 90s. especially if they had straps/chains/reflective strips/etc

Any suggestions for Nexus 7 Wi-Fi 2013 ROMs that would allow me to get security patches going forward? The last security patch from Google ended in August 2016.

I've rooted the device and at the moment it's running the Resurrection Remix ROM. Still playing about with it but it seems OK so far.
using something called "resurrection remix rom" is definitely better than buying something else

apple sells more than 40 million a year, or about $16 billion in revenues. this is more than the iPod at its peak when it was a hit product. sales are slowing down but they are certainly not dead.

android tablets, on the other hand, are terrible and nobody wants them. google stopped caring about them a long time ago and manufacturers make no money selling them so they are all poo poo, which made consumers stop buying them.

isn't the only reason microsoft has any sort of foothold in the tablet market because they paid people to make them

they spent way more money trying to get windows phone going and that got nowhere

I think the "it actually runs word/excel/powerpoint" is still a non-trivial draw for a lot of people, especially while all the alternatives are still pretty bad

"tablets are 100% consumption devices" is false, the vast majority of people use them for that but I bet a whole lot of them buy them with the intent of using them for productivity

plus windows touch UI is so bad I've only ever seen people using surfaces with the keyboards
