Your criticisms are reasonable ones.

Do you think we’ll get to that advanced level of use without experiments? And do you think that this is wrong despite consent to the procedure?

Can you take a moment and imagine some possibilities of taking input directly from someone’s mind and applying it without needing to use your body? I know moving a mouse doesn’t seem impressive, but it demonstrates success at a technological concept that still seems impossible. I can’t speak for the ethics because I don’t know how voluntary the subjects are for the research, but this is very exciting for me, because it will inevitably become more sophisticated.

Hey cool! I’m native and I still don’t always know if the way I’m talking is correct, but nobody really cares. If they do and take issue with it, it’s not worth worrying about.

Unrelated, but I’ve never seen someone use the word “assume” that way before. It technically works, I think?

They’re both toddlers, about a year apart. The littler one is still into the younger target audience content and she is very picky! Thank you for the suggestion <3

The words we let her mispronounce because it’s so cute is balloon (Babloon!) and Restaurant (Resternot!!)

LMAO It’s better left alone but you can’t help but need to make sure it’s complete. I’m the same about my music, if anything is improperly tagged or named inconsistent I fix it- it’s compulsory I swear.

Does TheRarbg have the same aggregate of content that Rarbg did, or is it a migration sort of deal? Thank you for sharing.

Love Bluey and especially Hilda! I’ll check the other’s out, thank you. Definitely ideal if I can wean them off of the more annoying kids shows… The little man is into Spider-Man and Sonic right now, and the littler ma’am LOVES Frozen and Skye from Paw Patrol.

Well the torrents are there, I just can’t access them, gives me some weird screen. And if I manually convert the torrent to a download link through real debrid, it says it’s not allowed to do that or something. But torrenting it myself works fine.

OOOOO I don’t know why I haven’t tried this before! Guess I thought 1137 was an adequate search engine? This is seriously awesome, thanks for showing me.

Oh nooooo!!! I’ve definitely had that before… Always regret it when I delete media files, I just save them all now and if I HAVE to save space I compress them.

Hey hey, great suggestion. I do actually have stremio + torrentio + real debrid set up, works really well! Thing is, I’ve been getting some errors with Real Debrid on Paramount+ kids shows. Seems like they’re cracking down on those torrents or something? Anyway those I’ve just been downloading manually instead, but it’s made me want to download more stuff just in case the streaming setup becomes less consistent :p

This is definitely an option. However the past few years have not been kind as far as repairability goes, and that would be a must for a used phone. Newer phones are starting to add options for self repair but the majority are overkill for me.

Thank you for the suggestion!!

The Fairphone for a long time was sort of my “dream phone” due to the philosophy of repairing it. However recently I have stumbled across the Rog Phone 7 by Asus. It does not have the repairability that I desire, and it is too expensive for my current financial situation. But the battery far surpasses Fairphone’s and although it is not as readily repairable, a teardown video reassured me that i would be able to at the very least attempt diagnostics. Also, it is a newer model so I know there will be support for it for a while. I am not completely convinced that it suits my needs better than the fairphone, and both are too expensive.

Perhaps by the time I can comfortably afford one or the other, the winner will be more clear.

I actually got my Pixel 5a on Swappa. It died ~3 months after I purchased it, so now I am hesitant to purchase a phone used as you cannot return it. I will take your suggestions into consideration though, thank you!

Definitely a strong contender due to the replaceable battery and other parts. If I cannot find a phone that performs as well in my ideal price range this is probably what I will end up doing. Thank you for the input!
