small/medium shops have worked for me for the most part, only time I’ve had to use amazon in the last 10 years was for a replacement screen for a phone.

Feels like too many phones try to be something special but are afraid to fully commit as fully committing would make the phone look different than your typical phone and often with tradeoffs in other areas. When i got my phone i got it because it has a huge battery(21000mAh) that lasts about 5 days on my regular (quite heavy) use and it is fully waterproof (rated for heated pressure washing and i have tested that it can easily survive being underwater in a hot tub, i also have a habit of sometimes washing the screen with water and soap). The tradeoffs are that it’s built like a brick, weighs half a kilogram and all headphone jacks don’t fit the port because the waterproofing requires the port to be recessed.

That phone just seems like your regular phone with an above average battery

From my understanding the big copyright owners basically have a stranglehold on youtube when negotiating how youtube should handle copyright stuff.

Not a lawyer and don’t even live in the US so i might not be the most reliable source on this though.

that is a moccamaster machine so i think it has only simple electronics. i would be surprised if there were even a small microcontroller in that machine.

BAR is really more close to supreme commander to the point that when i first saw it i was thinking “wait what they made a new supreme commander”
