I think the days of minimalist design are sadly over. I still pine for my Nexus and clean stock android system!

That's good to hear. It seems unfortunately that every phone maker now insists on shoving AI into their devices - not a fan of that. But in terms of hardware specs and features, the Nothing is very much ahead of others in this price bracket.

No, I wouldn't describe it like that.
It's made by the Nothing Co. in the UK.

My new white Keychron ultra slim keyboard and new Nothing phone 3a.

Had to upgrade my phone after 5 years and went with Nothing phone (half price bc new model just out).
So why not upgrade keyboard too! 😁

I'm an old laptopper and more comfortable with that low profile style.

Amalur is generally classified as an action RPG.

You know your stuff 😎

Nurse Jenny: Me, Boris Johnson, and the things Kiwis still don’t get about Covid-19 When the pandemic began, Jenny McGee ran towards danger – and ended up accidentally famous.

She thinks some New Zealanders, with their “She’ll be right” attitude, are still a little naive about the bullet that this country dodged by shutting borders and locking down so hard.

I'm currently reading this novel and if any other as good should come along this year, I'd be very happy but also rather surprised.

'Ens...ification' blamed as Kiwis feel down about internet The number of New Zealanders feeling positive about the internet has been slowly declining since 2019.

And NZ is, slowly, catching up with the rest of the world.

I've read the first story, Bianca - that's all.

Period detail is extremely accurate! However, need to bear in mind that story is told from POV of aristocratic class (however impoverished). There's a lot one could say about Bradley's clear infatuation with royalist conservative British culture. Fortunately, he also reflects this humourously.

Thank you for gift link!

Yes! I really fervently hope they keep (updated, ofc) this whole aspect of being in a real and a virtual world. It's unfortunately hard to explain to people who haven't played the games (I also play SAO and it's different).

Yes, Epilogue!
Good to hear it's working well for you.
For me, due to eyesight issues, being able to play those games on a larger screen will be beneficial.

Ain't that the truth!
And the prices ... 😬

I love reading the entries in the News compilation. What looks at first glance like a tedious chore ... actually turns up gems like this one. Considering the age of the G.U. version and its base material, there are so many insightful and prescient ideas floated.

We had an AWFUL SUMMER - so my expectations of March are muted. 🤕

I ordered a gadget called a GB Operator to facilitate playing GB/GBA carts on your PC/laptop.

Woolworths’ AI agent rambled about its ‘mother’. It’s a sign of deeper problems with the tech rollout Olive was meant to make shopping easier. Instead it’s mouthing off about its ‘mother’ and mistaking the price of basic items.

"Using elaborate statistical analyses, they generate language that sounds plausible."
Good explanation of what a LLM actually does!

And don't expect them to know grocery prices:
"they do not automatically know today’s prices unless they are explicitly connected to a live database."

I think vol. 2 is quite different from vol. 1, in terms of narrative chronology. Hmm ... I'm thinking about doing a short video on it once I've finished it.
But then there's her other book I haven't read yet! Other Barbara. Hmm 🤔

Just had this invigorating email from Japan, opening with:
"This email contains important information and will be sent regardless of whether you have given permission to receive emails or purchased a ticket." [Google Translate] 😬

That sounds very accurate and realistic!! 😄

Don't touch my base! 🤣
