• This is, like, the one tech thing I’m actually elitist about, and even then, I only really care as a personal preference. I don’t, like, look down on people for using phones with LCDs.

• I'm kind of amused that "watch out for static electricity" is as far down the iceberg as it is, considering that's just reasonable advice when servicing a computer

• Sometimes I wish my eyes just worked right to begin with, though I feel like being able to see clearly at all times without outside help would be kind of terrifying

• Our housemate Kevin glued the frames back together, so I will be able to wear my most recent pair again, at least for now. There's a high likelihood that I wake up tomorrow, forget all about this, and forget to handle my glasses with care, resultin…

• So I looked online for cheap pairs of glasses, and it turns out I could order a pair for like $10 with the prescription I have from January 2019. But all the places online that sell really cheap glasses also say it would take about two weeks to act…

• The fact that apple still makes small reasonably sized phones is the only thing that has ever made me want to buy an apple tbh. I just wish they would put decent screens on them. After having used an AMOLED display for 7 years, I refuse to go back …

• Also, you and I should talk more often

• Yup. And if you have a Samsung phone, like I do, there's a bunch of Samsung junk in addition to the Google junk. Please stop trying to make Bixby happen, Samsung. Nobody's ever going to use Bixby when you can get Google Assistant on the same phone.

• Oh, I am...in WAY too deep on the Google front. I got one of those Google Home smart speakers for Christmas last year, so I have that set up, even though the only thing I really use it for is playing music and setting alarms.

• I have a Galaxy S8 (2017's model) that I bought "pre-owned" in 2018. And, like, I just kinda intend to stick with it until it actively starts to frustrate me? I keep looking at prices on new phones, but none of them have enough compelling features…

• Do you have a specific model in mind? I mostly ask because I'm curious who actually makes small phones nowadays. It seems like the tendency of smartphones over the past few years is to get bigger, not smaller.

• The only thing I kind of dislike about my iPad: No expandable storage. I'm stuck with the internal 32 GB, and it's almost full.

• The uptick in forum activity we had in late September–early October seems to have died down already That's a shame; I was hoping it'd last
