Stuff like toothpaste is way too coarse for things like this. It isn’t something I have tried as I don’t wear glasses but have you considered trying something like a rubbing compound used during paintwork on cars etc?

It is basically a fine grade liquid sandpaper and is used to buff up the final laquer coat to a good shine.

Pretty sure you can get different grit levels and may require some elbow grease but may be an option worth looking at?

I dunno if it would be classed as obscure any more seen as it now has over 2m plays, but when I first heard it 4 years ago it was for sure obscure.

Jeez everyone carries a lot of shit in their pockets.

I carry my bank card in a side pocket down by my right knee and occasionally keys in the front left pocket.

Not that I have read about but I also haven’t looked to try and find out if it is a thing. I play everything I’m ripping at no faster than 2x in the hopes that it looks like normal enough activity whilst still saving me some time.

As I have said though I have been using soggfy for over a year now, ripping probably around 5000 tracks at a guess and had no issues what so ever :)

Soggfy works perfectly as of Monday when I last used it.

You download a modified version of Spotify and then it rips the audio Spotify itself is sending rather than locating poor quality yt versions etc. If you pay for premium then you can get 320 mp3s or ogg files.

I’ve been using this for a little over a year and never once had an issue with it so worth checking out :)

Inconsiderate dog owners in general.

“Don’t worry, he is friendly”

Oh cool, the fact I don’t like dogs and I’m now being harassed / licked by one doesn’t even register as a consideration.

Also not picking up poop!

Ah I see you are from the UK too. Lots of other countries seem to grasp this concept a lot better. The UK seems unable to walk on the fucking left. If everyone walked on the left then no one has an issue.

The amount of people stubbornly walking towards me on the right hand side of the path whilst I stick to my guns on the left pisses me right off!

Bonus points for groups of people that are so far up their own arse they feel the need to walk abreast taking up the entire path. Fuck all of you!

What flip phone do you use? I do still consiider the titan slim from time to time but I also really like the benefits of graphene os that I am now used to so not sure if I want to go back!

Your thoughts pretty much mirror mine, I think I could probably pull it off but it would be all new skills to me so I’m not sure how well it would actually come out. Finding someone to do it I thought about too but then the cost is ramping up and conaidering I don’t like paying more than £150 on a phone itself to then pay two thirds of that for a keyboard that is going to make an already large phone massive I just can’t justify it really.

There is also the FX tec which I’ve seen mixed reviews on but I think it is way over priced personally.

There is the titan slim which seems to be a clone of the BlackBerry keytwo in terms of shape and size which I did serious consider for quite a while to come after my titan. Ultimately I was put off by some of the quirks that unihertz has in terms of their implementation and software.

The keyboard on the titan was very good and it was close to the blackberry but it always just fell slightly short with some weird things like how certain buttons were handled.

I used to love the fact that I could hold the shift key and tap a letter to open whatever app I wanted. Little touches like that I missed, sometimes unihertz tried to replicate those sorts of touches but usually fell just a little short for me.

I hear plenty of people had slightly better experiences with custom ROMs on it but I tried and tried to get a custom ROM onto mine and I never had any luck with unlocking the boot loader and always therefore fell at the first hurdle.

There is a project on github that took the blackberry keyboard from one of their best models, placed it in a 3d printed case with an interface to link it to a USB C so you could plug it into different phones that I thought about trying to make and try. But I never got around to trying it.

I don’t know how well it would work / integrate though, cause what I really want is a blackberry keythree xD

I was looking at these just the other day considering it as an option, I miss my Blackberry keytwo so damn much!

I ran a Unihertz Titan for quite a while after which was decent enough but now it is too out of date and it was always a bit unwieldly.

I’m now back to typing on a touch screen and hating every fucking minute of it :'(

I’ve had the same Microsoft ones for years now. At least once a week there’ll be a block of 10 - 20 of those emails. Guess they still haven’t succeeded!

We can only dream of such.

I’m not a “younger person” but I do still buy a lot of music within a specific genre. Although most of it is digital as that is what I prefer I have bought music in the past few years on vinyl, cassette, CD and USB. So artists are still producing physical media all be it in smaller quantities.

The last gig I went to earlier this year the merch stand was mainly t-shirts but there were some CDs to be seen, these were bands of “our era” though that I went to see in my teens (early 00s) so maybe they are just holding on to the way things used to be done, I can’t speak for any newer bands.

Started off the day with some Mad Caddies, now progressed onto a DnB Rollers playlist. Finally getting some sun has me feel energised!

Ah OK, im with you now. If there is a way to do that then I don’t know how I am afraid. I would personally just change up the connections so you could use the TV as one of them purely for the ease of it as I like to make my life as easy as possible xD

Sorry I can’t help any further with that but good luck with your endeavours, if you choose to go stremio I think you’ll be impressed compared to kodi :D

It absolutely is, I even set up stremio on a fire stick for my sister and she is absolutely technologically illiterate and would never have understood kodi but with stremio she is doing just fine!

I’m not really sure what you are asking in the second part though. If I’m running stremio on my laptop then I have my airvpn connection running in the background so everything is going via that connection.

On the fire stick I use the proton VPN app and open that up, connect there then all the traffic on the fire stick is forced to go through there.

Using either method the stremio traffic has to go via the respective VPN. Maybe I’m missing something with the question though so if I’m being stupid please say and I’ll try and help further :)

I use a hacked fire stick but pretty sure the exact same setup is achievable on android TV.

You can use stremio + torrentio and utilise your current realdebrid subscription then just install your preferred vpn as well.

Fire up the VPN and connect so that all your traffic is going through that VPN connection and then load up stremio.

I used to use kodi and debrid and this stremio setup is night and day better and easier to use, my gf would refuse to use kodi but this operates so much like Netflix etc that she uses it all the time now as well.

The crawling chaos has spoken!
