last time i had an android phone it used to randomly wake me up in the middle of the night with a loud notification sound which informed me that a system component had crashed (did not respect the volume controls or setting it to silent), took me an age to figure out what the pattern was: it would eventually crash if i placed it on a library book on my bedside table, the nfc implementation kept attempting to talk to the nfc tag in the book, and its negotiation attempts with this mysterious object the nfc subsystem would (sometimes) crash

that is my android story

Jeff Anderson, the guy who plays Randal Graves, moved into a retirement community at the ripe old age of 40. He pulled out of filming Clerks 3 to instead do nothing.

wikipedia posted:

On September 14, 2010, Anderson made his first appearance on Smith's SModcast filling in for Scott Mosier on SModcast #134. In his podcast, Anderson stated he had moved out of Los Angeles and into a "retirement community in the mountains" where he is "the youngest person there by 20 years."

i got a sick razer gaming phone at work for a test device. I can confidently say that no one should own one, it's huge and the corner of it scratched the screen of an OG pixel I had in my pocket with it

folding screens are stupid. if they can make a screen that can fold in half, i want one that rolls out of the side like i'm unfurling a blueprint. and it should retract like a pull-down blind rolling up into its housing.

I interviewed at the goog and did well on 4/5 of the interview loops; the one I did bad on was someone asking me about a bunch of web stuff and doing a generally bad job of interviewing me. I'm not a web dev and was applying for a android job. They've asked me to try again a bunch of times but eh

ya I tried it out w my phone in whatever thread we discussed it in earlier and it doesn't just paste a moon it moonifies the image with some AI fitting or w/e. I did the thing where you take a pic of a fake moon with something drawn on it and my drawing was there in the final "replaced" image :shrug:
