Plot twist: apparently Google had it fixed for two years before pushing it out, from an Arstechnica comment:

probably some gross nerd working for google photos is working on fappening 2.0. (it's just taking forever because no celebrities use androids)

i cracked my screen protector a few days ago and i put a new one on today. i did it completely perfectly first time. barely had to squeegee it and there was not a single speck of dust underneath to remove. didn't even use the stickers. flawless.

i too would prefer to live in a world where imessage continues to work rather than being hobbled for compatibility with the vagaries of android

the only reason there are vagaries in the first place is because of the sms fallback that apple themselves supports

if they released an imessage app for android they could remove the sms support entirely and everything would just work


but,

I suspect it means that soon if you want to download fortnite you're going to have to go to the Play store to download the Epic store and then use the Epic store to download the game, and it will be a shittier user experience all around, but if you play fortnite I think you probably deserve it so nbd

If Netflix still had their monopoly it'd cost $100/mo now

As opposed to paying for six $15 services to see what used to all be on Netflix?

At least it'd be consolidated

no, they literally are. tim is on record saying that if your mom doesn't like that iphones won't send high resolution pictures to her android phone, you should buy her an iphone.

timb would absolutely without a doubt prefer to have schoolkids get bullied than see his margins go down a fraction of a percent.

delete facebook, get whatsapp. no net change in number of meta products, but you will be better off because whatsapp isn't facebook.

When is one of these android smartphone makers going to copy the dimensions of the iphone se? these phones are too fuckin big

Sony used to make a Compact version of all their flagship Android phones, and they only sold them in Japan because they're kawaii, and I loved those and bought several of them. But I think the time of small phones is done

that isn't even the first very smelly pen!

quote:

I love the Noodler's Ahab pen. I've had it for a couple of weeks and enjoyed using it very much. But the smell is quite annoying. Some people might like the smell, but not me. I've read somewhere that the smell disappears after a while. But is there a way to make it go away faster? I've tried washing it a few times; smell still persist. Thanks.

quote:

Just received my first Ahab and thought our toddler had vomited somewhere in the room. It's awful. Any help would be appreciated!

quote:

New
I too thought one of my kids had vomited when first opening and filling my new Creeper with ink. Soon realised it was the pen and couldn't believe that a pen would smell so awful. I gave it a good wash with liquid soap. The smell is also fading naturally after a week or so.

quote:

OK, Folks,
Love the pen, but after 6 months the smell is still horrible. Tried leaving in the sun for a few weeks, in the shade for a few weeks, in the fridge, in the freezer, in a drawer, Fabreeze, bleach, vinegar, and it still stinks. Should I just give up? Every time I open my desk the smell is nearly overwhelming, and it gets on my hands when I write.

those pens are made of cellulose acetate butyrate, though, a plastic that is manufactured with and gradually releases butyric acid, which is the key odor compound in rotten milk and vomit.

a lot of old tool handles are made of the same stuff, which is why sometimes you open a drawer full of old screwdrivers at grandpa's house and phwoowoooooooo

anyway the more you know
