My stupid phone is only 3 years old and it won't stay charged more than 6 hours even with casual use. It got me looking at potential upgrades and I'm so pissed... I'll *NEVER* forget what they took from us!!!
The Samsung Galaxy Note 3 was *PEAK* smartphone. It had:
- Faux leather removable back cover with stitching in the design
- Removable lithium battery could be replaced when nearing end-of-life
- could also remove battery for privacy if needed
- built in stylus
- headphone jack
- infrared blaster which enabled UNIVERSAL REMOTE CONTROL APPLICATIONS!
โคท the IR made life so easy, all your TVs in one remote control IN YOUR POCKET!
โคท you could even use it at bars and restaurants to change channels or volume
- retailed at $299 ( $410.46 inflation-adjusted)
The modern equivalent is the Samsung Galaxy S25 Ultra which does still have a stylus, but:
- no phone jack
- no removable/replaceable battery
- literally impossible to truly "power off" all the way
- no audio jack
- no IR blaster
- Retails at $1299
Oh but all 5 cameras on it are amazing so I GUESS THERE'S THAT.

Daintily holding a lav mic between two fingers in videos is a disturbing trend that needs to stop immediately! THANK YOU FOR YOUR ATTENTION TO THIS MATTER!

Is there anyone better than nostr:npub19ha7tju4teqp3dmwv4p28wrcy9zd6h6hxkg5mwvjrlfycweazpkse2q0fa? There's no way there is. Easily she's the greatest person I've ever met or heard of. She's the best. All you can do is aim for second place as long as she's in the mix. You'll find none better. I love her absolutely and forever in both directions in time.
Last night we celebrated 4/22 because it's 4/20 too! I went to the tomb of Keysend but discovered it was empty, nostr:npub19ha7tju4teqp3dmwv4p28wrcy9zd6h6hxkg5mwvjrlfycweazpkse2q0fa brings a wholesome conclusion to the Lanes, The Rev continues the Moment's highlight reel of the classics and callers continue their eggcellence!
