  • I have a Poco X3 Pro running custom android. Running a phone with custom Android is the only way I can run the OS now. I have a Xiaomi Redmi Note 4x which has finally given up the ghost that started with Android 6 and I can install Android 14. What killed it was the screen delaminating from the digitizer probably because of battery swelling.

    With that being said, I know my next phone is probably going to be an iPhone. Unlocking phones these days is not as easy as it use to be, and many of my issues of iOS of the past are gone. The only thing I am waiting on is that third party app store support.




  • I’m going to be honest. I am of the opinion that I don’t want MacOS on my iPad. iPadOS when I didn’t have a keyboard attached made sense and worked great. But it’s missing core functionality.

    If I was to associate it with Linux. The Desktop Environment of iPadOS is excellent and I don’t want it to change. But it’s missing key features in the kernel or missing key drivers which would make it a better experience.


  • I thought I mentioned it. But I had a Logitech Combo Touch Keyboard case for this, and you are correct a Keyboard + Touchpad combo is absolutely needed for a comfortable experience.

    I’ve only reverted back for long typing sessions, my hand craps are only just going away now. I need a more sturdy keyboard accessory and I don’t think they exists. And since the case is already falling apart, I’ll probably just make my own replacement with what I can salvage from here. Need to make a 3D Printable friction hinge that doesn’t break and is thin. I have a long list of things I want to do first.








  • The FunkoPop Store EB Games here in Canada were re-labeled to GameStop recently. They’re still in every Mall in the land from what I’ve seen. Though they are doing better. Game selection isn’t what it use to be, but the variety is growing now. I was surprised when I found Manga in our local GameStop.

    Not exactly my cup of tea, but catering to “Nerd” culture, and going beyond “Merch” is something I can get behind, since it’s rare to see another store not selling the same old drivel as everyone else.
