@dkf I'm very happy with Vodaphone, which just goes to show my Vodaphone is not the same as your Vodaphone.
I came very close to suing them over €100, because I'm quite good at holding a grudge.

@Gąska It's been a great phone on so many levels. It's really only started to show its age in the last year, when I stopped letting Chrome update (by cleverly leaving less than 2GB free so the installer couldn't force itself onto the device) so parts of the Enterprisey HipsterScript Delivery Platform (formerly called "the internet") have started to break down.

status I think I figured out why my router kept rebooting. UPS battery needed replacing. Since I took the UPS out, no more reboots. A new battery is on order...
I was wrong. It did it again an hour ago...

UPS battery was the root cause, but the router's capacitors are shot too now, so you get to replace them both

Status: How the everloving can Windows be so bad at remembering my setups. I only move this laptop between the same two docks with the same monitor layout (and same size & native resolutions on both layouts) in both places! And it's all DP/HDMI, via the exact same model dock in both places. REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE

@Tsaukpaetra Would that mean you're not actually the awesome and chill teetotaler robot with aching diodes that sometimes wants to bang? Or are those two things nevertheless compatible?

I am.
I'm probably pretty lucky whoever accepted the documents into the system didn't really think twice about that weight measurement though...

I had to google that.

I've actually seen that one.
Don't remember if it was linked here. If not, I'm wondering if youtube just suggests the same stuff to all nerds.

Status: Tired. Gardening day today. Possibly the most sustained physical labor since I moved from CA two years ago. Lots of bending down and poking the ground with a trowel. Back is not happy. Ibuprofen is my friend.

STATUS Bloody cat! Kept waking me up last night. Wants to come in the window. Wants to go out the window. Random mewing. Wants to be petted. Not being petted enough. Wants me to be awake so that I know it's ignoring me.
Such is the life of an ageing spinster.

12L12.1. No more giant lock screen clock! It probably changed some other stuff too.

It doesn't seem that bad to me.

A design team which carefully observed usage patterns and tendencies collected using telemetry, to figure out the best way to display two fucking numbers on screen. For the 10th fucking time. Don't you worry. The next release will be even more innovated.

@dkf You mean like on my android 10 samsung?
-
@PleegWat Yes, please. Because the one I can set (on Android 9) is innovatively hideous.
The innovation is staggering. The weird shape, the little seconds ball, the locale unaware format...
-
@Applied-Mediocrity your circle has autism.

@topspin I've haxored their plans of further innovation with folding displays.

@PleegWat Like this one? (One of the included Android 12 clock widgets.)

@Parody Perfection is achieved when there's nothing left to take away!
But let's not rush it. Do away with numbers and divisions for now.
Does the little ball at least go under the date text?

If I hold on the dot at the bottom, can I make the clock widget spin round with a flick? That would be awesome and useless!

They're very forward thinking. What if you need to check the time while you're on the ISS, but you drop your phone and it lands in the Mariana Trench? You'd never see the old version

Behold the sore knees and the inability to walk for a week. That's what awaits me if I run. And a heart attack.

- I believe ISS in freefall (or a close approximation thereof). If I was on it, the phone would move with it at sufficient enough speed not to fall down to Earth if dropped
