you know, this meme is old as hell, but I still like it.

I had one for a couple years too, back when it was new. I loved it. such good stereo speakers.

Setting aside the issue of whether this post is overstating the risk of MDM software on a personal phone, I had a tangentially related experience that might provide a tip for anyone who’s in a similar situation.

I like to have the convenience of checking my work messages and chats on my personal phone, so I have Teams and Outlook installed and using my work account.

When I first went to sign in to my work account on Outlook, I got this message like “Outlook needs to run with administrator privileges in order to provide the necessary security for this account” and shunted me off to some system settings to approve the permissions. Big nope.

So I tried Outlook Lite, and it made no such demands and works perfectly. So for anyone else who’s run into this, try Outlook Lite! I hope this helps somebody.

“You can do anything at Zombocom”

laughing a stupid little laugh after I’m done talking. probably comes off as nervous and awkward. I hate it.

I really like Kingdom: Two Crowns on my steam deck.

there’s a content creator in the board game scene (makes game review and how-to-play videos mostly) who goes by Bebo. that image does look kinda like her. her YouTube channel

and that was like 6 years ago!

there are some print-on-demand card and game manufacturers that might be less expensive than you think. I’m a hobbyist game designer and I’ve used thegamecrafter.comthegamecrafter.com as well as makeplayingcards.com to have custom cards printed, and it wasn’t particularly costly.

but if those services do charge more than you want to spend, the thing I recommend most strongly is that whatever stock you decide to print on, cut them with one of those sliding-blade paper cutters. don’t try to cut them with scissors. they’ll come out a lot more even.

I’m perpetually pleased by the Verge’s vendetta against Reddit. fuck spez.
