Modern smart phones seem to be pretty resilient to drops.

I had a Pixel 6 for the full supported lifetime and dropped that thing countless times on all kinds of different surfaces, at different angles and varying heights. I traded it back in for full value when I got the Pixel 10, which I have already dropped several times without damage.

And lifted the name from Microsoft. https://news.microsoft.com/sur...

I would like a folding phone if it actually made the phone smaller and not larger/thicker.

It seems like the market for folding phones is similar to the market for pickup trucks. The small and mid-range have been completely removed and all we are left with is the choice between big, bigger and enormous.

Oh, you mean the Roboform that was basing it's password generation off of the system time?

People with more money than sense, as the saying goes

It's funny, I still have yet to need to replace the battery in my old e-series SoniCare. I still take that thing on vacation without a charger and it lasts at least a week. Though finding replacement heads has moved to an online-only affair.

I have the battery one, works like a charm and is a lot smaller.

Though, really, between flossing, brushing and rinsing with diluted H2O2 (1:1), I have found that I don't really need to use the waterpik all that often.

Something tells me that the people that would benefit from this are not going to be buying a $500 toothbrush. They probably don't even own a "cheap" electric toothbrush because they long ago realized that it's a backdoor subscription for replacement heads.

Oh interesting, did GNIS also rename all the street signs, trail signs, business names, etc, etc?

Seems like *they* are the ones who are causing confusion.

Maybe the copper line makes a good anchor to attach the fiber line too ;)

Well, does the bill make the carve-out based on the underlying kernel or the actual OS running on top of it?

It's true the Android is based on the AOSP kernel, but Android (the parts that the user actively interacts with) is definitely not open source.

Couldn't the panes fly within the protection of the magnetosphere?

Is it wasting money if it protects people from cancer?

I have definitely changed my whiskey buying to Canadian brands over southern US state brands.

Doing my very small part

"Anything" might be a stretch.

He definitely doesn't shut up, but it's all about perceived slights and ballrooms AFAICT.
