  • Writing this on a Pixel Fold…

    The concerns about the screen fragility are overblown, I’ve been using this thing for a year now with no screen damage, no scratches, and the hinge is fine… I run a cheap snap-on plastic case with no screen protector. There’s a small scratch on the hinge itself from one of the many times I’ve dropped it.

    It’s nice to have a larger screen for videos and pictures. It’s nice to be able to run two full-size apps at once, but Hearthstone + YouTube is really the only thing I ever use that feature for. It’s nice for DS/3DS emulation, if you attach a controller. But for me personally, I don’t feel I use it unfolded enough to justify the extra weight and thickness. I’ll be going back to a slab phone when it’s time to upgrade.








  • For at least the last 6 generations in my family there was a tradition of sharing a first name across two generations with different middle names (so there was no actual Jrs). So like Robert James, Robert Charles, Charles Lee, Charles William, William Daniel, William Samuel, blah blah blah. My father was the second William, so to continue the tradition me or my brothers would name a son with our first name.

    We all produced girls. So much for that stupid tradition!
