Yep, dual sim is a thing. However, my employer wants full control of the phone so they provided an iPhone. (I’m an Android user) The biggest pro of 2 phones is that you can silence the work phone outside work hours.
With my 1st temp job ('99) I told my boss that the best feature on the work phone the power button was. The moment I left the building it would be turned off. Alas, those modern phones have a complete sequence to go trough to get them off, so I now use the automated do not desturb. Alas, iPhone has only times you can set daily, instead weekday dependent times. Between 18:00 and 7:00 the thing is quiet, no exceptions.
I’m always on the lookout for materials that help me understand different things that up to now I’ve been otherwise stumped by or had trouble wrapping my mind around. Any subject/topic that’s interested you that whatever you’ve found has helped you gain a greater understanding and appreciation of are welcome!
My kiddo and I are having a fruit and vegetable challenge. Each month we’ll seek out a fruit or vegetable we’ve never tried and taste it. My BFF is trying to walk all the greenways in our county (that is county not country, low stakes! Attainabl!). How about you?
As that’s failed, I have ticked the resolutions off the list and can do what I like, play more bass guitar and/or regular guitar, but that has to wait until I had my surgery. Nomclue when that’ll be, but the hospital indicated Q1.
Asking being I just had take out about 40 screws and disconnect several board connectors to replace a simple damaged motor gear. Took a few hours for something that could easily take minutes to repair with a little thoughtful manufacturer design.
We have a Roomba I’ve replaced the main wheels on. They seem to have a good availability of spare parts as well, although they are in big units. I haven’t found a way to replade the tracks of the main wheels, as the ‘tires’ are the issue here, not the rest of the unit. They wear fast with uneven flooring.
Wondering how much of the Lemmy user base wouldn’t use an adblocker. If you do use one what other blocking do you use to circumvent data collection, YouTube and reddit front ends and things alike?
For me it was weight that was a problem for a long time. I wore the 1st watch I bought, an '85 Commodore with dial and display for ages. When I wanted something new again, I went into the store and told them that I wanted something just as light. I went out with a Pulsar titanium model that was 2 gram heavier, but it was close enough.
In '12 I discovered it wasn’t weight, but the electronics that was the main cause of issues. Now I wear mechanical watches, with a Seiko 5 as daily and several automatics and manual winders as extra for when I feel like wearing something else.
Some have metal bands, some leather. I prefer metal in summer, leather in winter.
That takes me back. Years ago I used a xxodd laptop (running debian, biggest pro, it came without Windows license), Model M keyboard (spacebar cap wore out after 10y heavy use, have 10 keyboards spare) and logitech marble mouse. (Alas, as all good Logitech products, discontinued years ago)
Now running Debian on a i9 Gen 13 laptop with 24 cores, 64G mem, DasKeyboard 4 Ultimate, Kensington Orbit with scroll wheel and 2 24" QHD screens.
And guess what, I’m reading lemmy on my Samsung Tab S2 8", refurbished.
I’d say their main goal is to keep managers busy with something to prevent them from hindering work that needs to be done to keep the place running. ;)
I use Firefox as my daily driver but sometimes sites just work better on a chromium based browser. I had been using Brave but it seems like they keep adding on more bloat (crypto, VPN, AI) and I’m over it....
I switched from Firefox to Vivaldi last year and never regretted it. I like the ad blocking that it has as standard and the uBlock origin plugin makes it 99% perfect. It’s pretty light weight and the tab stacks work good. No clue if those stacks are chromium or vivaldi, but they work.
I am an anarchist, so the idea of the community doing all the work, creating content, and then mods basically ruling over them as a reward, just doesn’t sit right with me....
I think the biggest issue would be food. We have loads of farmers in the area and the bike is usable. However, to many people in the area and a lot of specialized crop.
With the canned food, I guess around a month, then it’ll get challeging.

What is a nifty little feature modern gadgets have lost? (lemmy.world)
For me it’s the notification light you used to find on older phones, was particularly good to know if your phone was charged without picking it up
