I had the second gen nexus 7 that seemed to pick up what was a common issue with the power button (something essentially came unglued or something inside and it’d stop working). I sent it off for repair and they wouldn’t fix it because it was ‘water damaged’ (it wasn’t) and they wanted something ridiculous like £75 for basically popping off the back cover and stopping all work.
Robbing bastards Asus will never get another penny out of me.
Losing nearly 5 hours of your life just driving is pretty crazy. I’ve done East Yorkshire to Cardiff and back in a day to collect something and that took the best part of 9 hours with good traffic. In bad traffic that could have easily been 13 and it’s not that far.
Workers in California will soon receive a minimum of five days of paid sick leave annually, instead of three, under a new law Gov. Gavin Newsom signed Wednesday....

My dad really benefitted from using it, he has lost a quarter of his bodyweight so far and still has a bit to go to get to a healthy weight. Here in the UK diabetics are struggling to get it from the NHS because people are buying it privately for weight loss and taking up all the stock.
You could have had a miniaturised nuclear reactor and I still don’t think it would have kept up with the game gears appetite 😁 great little device but missed the mark on intended use.
A patent filed by Nintendo suggests that they’re working on Hall Effect style joysticks for the Switch 2 that would eliminate stick drift almost entirely.
I find minty toothpaste makes it a lot more difficult to eat afterwards. My grandad used to work in Egypt and he’d bring the orange toothpaste home and it was much easier to wake up, brush then eat using that stuff.
