back in the day people would download more ram and put it on giant tape-based backup systems. Big companies started downloading massive amounts of high quality ram this way. This created a ram shortage, and companies like corsair are now using their massive reserves of downloaded ram and filling empty ram sticks with them and making lots of money. That’s why ram is so expensive today. Any ram you can download today is low quality ram, and the only high quality ram can be had on physical sticks, which were filled by the companies with ram reserves. 1969 was the peak of the ram harvesting, so you’ll probably get some really great ram if it came from that year.

Honestly I’m okay with that. I won’t be buying until it’s on steam so it’s like a closed beta for me. I’ll get a more polished product.

I’d have to ride several blocks on a 4 lane stroad to go anywhere outside of my neighborhood. It’s so depressing.

So bots. If a user doesn’t choose their own name they are making the choice to look like a bot.

Been using it for a couple weeks and love it!

It can boil down to “I used to be a guy so I can give advice on being a guy.”

Donated! Though it never asked for my address so I hope I’m still getting a dragon.

You must explain the dress and demeanor

I use kagi. Better search results than Google. No bullshit. Love it.

But you pay at grocery stores LOL. That sentiment is valid. You don’t have to be the product.

Yes you can.

Yeah I get 4k with Firefox on cachyOS

Good choice with cachy

This battery lasts longer than I thought when I purchased, and it’s much more powerful than it has any right to be, being this small. All in all, I love it. It’s perfect for my needs. I’ve had “cooler” phones that were “nicer” to use when I used phones a lot, but this is absolutely the perfect phone for me now. It can do everything a full size phone can do functionally, but it’s tiny, out of the way, and it looks cool. Very utilitarian. Great for people who don’t use phones as much as the average person, or is very conscious about how much stuff they have in their pockets.

No need to use aliexpress, you can order directly from their site, and through dumwireless (which has an exclusive green version):

Edit: also yes it works with chase, capital one, google pay, and those are the only ones I’ve tried so far. I’ve paid via NFC with it as well.

Not sure the return policy with those two, but it’s like $200, one of the cheapest phones I’ve ever owned. Might make it worth the risk for some people. The risk turned out to be a win for me, at least.

Nope, T9 is where you tap once on each number and it predicts what word you meant. There are only a few common overlapping words so it’s very quick. I actually did try several flick-based keyboards but the phone is so small, flick accuracy is almost worse than tap accuracy when only using 9 main letter buttons for me. It would often confuse vertical/horizontal flicks for diagonal flicks and it was a messy experience.

The keyboard I’m using is called “tappy keyboard”. I tried several open source ones, but none of them were able to fit the bill for this small screen quite as much as Tappy. It has many other layouts as well, but is not flick-based. (It does have swipe for some layouts)

Yes I’d like to buy 2 please.

“I would if I could!”

It runs full android. In fact, it’s way more powerful than a phone this size has any business being. You can even play (some) games on it with no performance drops at all.

Usability with large fingers is slightly less than normal, but honestly not bad at all. I use a T9 keyboard (pictured below) and it’s great and I type relatively quickly. I have the option of quickly switching to qwerty but T9 does the job well and it’s fun. screenshot

Edit: I did turn up the system font size, which makes things a bit tight sometimes, but honestly it’s very usable without doing that as well.

I like the tank in theory but the translucent green plastic is like a sirens call to me.
