My wife goes regularly to goodwill and those prices are for premium brands and most of the time they still have tags attached or at least look like they’ve never been worn. In her experience they keep that price for a few weeks and if it isn’t sold they discount them deeply

There were cheaper ones with a tester attached to the box, maybe they were energizer?

You can download songs/albums/playlist for offline listening…

paying for music subscriptions doesn’t help artist to much. Buying their merch or going to concerts is how they get most of their money

My wife loves her flip. She just upgraded from the 4 to the 6 and the creaae is barely visible when in use

She uses it a lot for videocalls and she folds it to use it as a tripod, and also being able to use the good camera to take selfies is a great use case

She also loves that it fits on most of her pants when folded, usually women’s pants have very small pockets.

That phone is not for me, but I can definitely attest to real use cases

You forgot to press the turbo button!

I installed mint recently and I kept the windows partition because I thought I would need to dual boot a lot but I haven’t launched windows in the past couple of months

I have a laser HP all-in-onr that I thought I’d have issues with but it worked automatically with the printing and scanner app, not even in windows it works so strangely

My only issue right now were self inflicting, because I created a shared NTFS partition to keep media a torrents and it sometimes give privilege errors after a bit update (it wouldn’t happen if it was ext3 from what I’ve been reading)

My wife needs to use the computer occasionally and I think she had more issues with windows 11 than mint, the only “issue” was that she was trying to find Microsoft word instead of openoffice

It does if you rent

I’ve been using gamefly for a while, I can’t rent digital only games

The AI response reads like when you are looking for something in Reddit and you get 3 very different responses in 3 different threads about the same topic

I only use it for /r/nfl now, that community is great at creating memes and posting highlights as soon as it happens and I still visit a few niche subreddits but they too got even smaller, probably a lot of us switched to just lurking instead of actively participating

My country’s sub got taken by a pro-government group, I used it to see the news and know what was happening there but now you can’t find any news that criticize the government or that show the country in a bad manner. We had a meme sub and that was taken over too so it became trash

I hate ads, but sometimes prime puts 2 minutes of ads at the beginning of a show or a movie and then no ads, I’m ok-ish with this, much better than imdb or tubi that play the same commercial every 15 minutes

If I start a stream and it shows that it will have several breaks I stop it and get it from the high seas

For being part of meta, Instagram is relatively good (Instagram let’s you pause suggested post, can easily modify your algorithm by telling it what not to show or what to show, can skip ads, for now, and it’s the best way to see good tik toks without going to that site), so it was just a matter of time it got enshitified

I wonder what they’ll do with WhatsApp next

Do you? I don’t own any apple device but I was able to reset the password on my very old account to use apple tv+ on my LG TV

Samsung’s replacement is $90 if done at a service center, so it was more expensive to buy the parts (because they included the screen for some reason)

Looks good! I’ll give it a try this weekend, thanks!

Edit: I just installed it, it looks great! I find it very funny that one of the apps I was worried about was the HP scanner and it worked seamlessly on mint without installing additional drivers or apps so I can stop using that stupid HP app

Edit2: I also found out that my windows installation (system, drivers, updates, other files that I cannot delete safely) takes about 70Gb out of my 250GB SSD, even after running many commands to try to clean it up

It’s a laptop with i3 gen 11, 12GB RAM, and I mainly use it for browsing, torrenting and watching movies (4K, connected to a TV)

I think I’ll do the same. I wasn’t switching because of compatibility but I realized that there are only 1 or 2 apps that don’t run natively and I don’t use them that often

Which distro do you recommend? I haven’t used linux in a while, I usually went with ubuntu but I think that’s not the go-to anymore?

Of course they do. They sell them equally expensive without the expensive ingredients!

For example:
