But until your instance upgrades to 0.19.5, the image you originally uploaded but have hence unlinked is still there albeit unused, on the server forever and ever…

Why yes, the rest of my deck is Millstones, Ancestral Recall, and Ball Lightnings. Why do you ask?

With a Nixie tube display like that, you’re usually looking at much earlier.

I found this on that model: https://www.oldcalculatormuseum.com/monroe620.html

That blue spell was probably Ancestral Recall, but I’m sure there were others of its ilk.

Anyway, while we’re at it I like to trot this one out every now and again for everyone to gawp at.

And here we thought baraminology would never be useful for anything.

That, and it’d be dark. You’d need to pack one hell of a flash.

Naughty…

Negative, unfortunately. I’ve never had a use case to mess with the option.

I found a few on github, though. I imagine any open source tools are probably… less… likely to be thinly disguised vectors to pwning your device.

Sure, but completely disappear in a season as if that’s “normal?” No.

The option you’re looking for is “mock location,” and it is buried in the developer options in the settings menu on your phone.

You will probably have to enable the developer options menu on your phone, which is done by tapping the build number in “about phone” five times. You will get a popup message when developer options are enabled, and then the Developer Options entry will appear under “System” (at least on recent Android versions) in your settings menu.

Note that this is not a complete solution. You still need a mock location app, which you will give permission via this screen to override your phone’s reported GPS location.

I can only conjecture it must have cost a mint.

Crikey. I have to wonder what that ~2TB unit must have cost in 2016.

Interesting that the one has such large capacitors in it. I imagine that is as last-ditch effort to keep the board powered long enough to finish flushing all of its caches in the event of a power failure.

Given that the sun is up at roughly the same amount, and at the poles the sun remains consistently up or down according to the season, I think we can rightly assume these two photos are taken at least approximately at similar times of the year.

Also, are you trying to insinuate that 100+ foot tall glaciers are somehow “seasonal?” Because they aren’t.

“I don’t share your use case, therefore your preference is invalid and only mine is correct.”

Yeah, I know that one very well.

What? I don’t have to “imagine” anything. I literally owned one, for two years. Nothing was “sacrificed” on the Priv. It was in all aspects a completely modern phone, even managing to include a headphone jack and memory card slot, a curved edge display, wireless charging, and a 3400 mAh battery. And don’t try to come at me about battery capacity, either. Just to name an example, its contemporary in the Galaxy S7 had a 3000 mAh battery, was the flagship phone of its time, and sold bucketloads of units.

Your argument is bullshit. Slider phones aren’t made because manufacturers don’t want to make them – be that for low projected sales reasons or whatever else – not because there is any physical reason they can’t.

The Priv wasn’t. Read the entire post. The Priv from Blackberry/TCL had a slider keyboard and altogether was 9.5mm thick. My current Moto G Power 5G is 8.5. An iPhone 16 is 8.25. This is not an appreciable difference.

Obviously there’s not any technical reason anyone couldn’t make a modern slider as thin as current slates, it’s just that with the discontinuation of the Priv nobody does. And that’s not even getting into fixed keyboard designs.

I had one of those for a while. That was the best worst phone I ever owned. It was awesome at absolutely everything except being a phone…

Unihertz makes a couple of modern keyboard phones but none of them are sliders.

People who want a keyboard, that’s who.

I don’t get why people go around acting like these phones did not physically exist in the past in significant numbers, and both the “expense” and thickness problems were not, in fact, problems.

My old Galaxy S Relay 4G was not appreciably any thicker than my current phone is with its case on it. And the Blackberry Priv I had after that was still exactly as thin as current modern phones.

From what I recall this model had some exposed test pads or something on the board under the cover that were connected to the USB port. The wireless charging adapter had a little pigtail that you kind of wedged in there on top of the pads and that did the trick.
