After this meeting I have no doubts that President Krasnov theory is real.

Very interesting. This longevity aspect frequently comes up in the Wii U modding community. It is tempting to plug in a simple USB stick to store the game files, but, because of the intense read/write nature, it is deemed to be prone to failure. Recently use of high-endurance SD cards has grown, but some say it is still not as safe as an external HDD. It would be interesting to hear thoughts from someone more experienced about the safest storage option as the last thing you want is for your save files to get corrupted.

DSi is my favourite console for older Nintendo games. Custom firmware gives access to the DS library and it emulates GBA well.

X100V is super-hard-to-find-right-now, I have an older version X100T and I am very pleased. It is basically the camera that pros using the huge DSLRs everyday reach for when they go on their own holidays or leisure trips. And it's value has nearly doubled in the two years I had it, unheard of in the field of consumer electronics.

It is nice to have a dedicated device that sits next to the amp and know that it can provide a Hi-Res audio signal that is as good as it gets.

I have a Sony NW-A45, but there's a few models in the NW-A line-up that are attention worthy.

I'm quite pleased with my Sony NW-A45. I miss the ability to rate songs, but I understand it is much better than the Android based alternatives.

Would replacing SMS with RCS solve this? So far Apple has been very reluctant to implement it.

Haha, I learned to solder a few weeks ago just to get my Emerald cartridge to run properly. I couldn't stop taking pictures of how beautiful Links Awakening DX was. I'd say DS also has a few games worthy of your attention.

Film photography is certainly the best hobby that I've picked up during the lockdown. Try getting some vintage lenses and mounting them on a digital camera via an adapter for great results too.

Very cool!

More colour choices would be great. Sometimes I use my second screen just for face illumination during video calls. I found that ft.com salmon-pink is one of the better choices.

The real issue is the unaffordability of data plans in the US.

More prevalent use of dual sim phones would also help - I get all the data from my work sim, but most of my calls are made on the personal one.

I can't be the only one who just bought a 4K blu-ray player. The cost of a disc is cheaper than a monthly subscription and I can still trade them in making it a cracking good deal. And quality is soo much better than streaming, literally made me move my sofa a little closer to TV!

If you manage to borrow 10k from somewhere else at 3% APR and invest here you're getting 410 risk free. Unfortunately it is capped at 10k...

The embargo is imposed until Monday 25th October 2021 [1]. I will be staying away from that pre-order button until then.
