Branch Nvidian posted:additionally, what's your beef with bluey? nothing, I only recently found out about it, because one of my cousins has a one-year-old who loves that dog, as do her father and mother knowing that it keeps her occupied for a while I don't particularly get it, because it's a show targeted at 5 to 7 year olds, and when I was 5 I would have almost certainly thought that bluey was a totally lame show for babies compared to the thundercats or whatever cartoons were on that were filled with characters that look like they jumped straight off of the cover of a 70s heavy metal album, but it's a newer, kinder, gentler age

when i was 5 i'd have wanted to just watch more of the tmnt cartoon, yeah being in my mid-30s though i find bluey oddly wholesome, and my nine year old niece likes the show so i can give her merch as gifts that she'll like i still don't think she needs to have a smartphone though

Not even an exaggeration, my old coworker years ago was a no phone guy even though he was a mobile dev (know thine enemy) and even he had to give in. One day his daughter was asked to go to a website on her phone in one of her freshman year highschool classes and she was the only kid in the class with no phone

went from an iphone 6s to a pixel 3a for a couple of years from its introduction to its demise (lack of sw updates) and now I use a hand-me-down iPhone 7, a phone that was introduced years before the pixel 3a anyways, I switched back because I have a lot of songs on iTunes and I had some apple cash that I couldn’t use without a phone iphone’s pretty good, I like the keyboard and the blue bubbles

of course, if you are running linux, you could run into another issue trying to get adb to actually find the phone which may require you to add udev rules which is another hell by itself
