Albert Anker (Swiss artist in the 1800's) clearly loved his coffee. There is another Girl drinking coffee, Still life with coffee, Bernese peasant woman drinking coffee, Still life with coffee and potatoes, Coffee and cognac, etc etc

It's only 100$ more than the Fold 8, and it's currently right in the middle of Z Fold 8 Ultra prices at 256/512/1TB models. The 2TB model is dear, but that's the market + Apple tax. Definitely pricey, but it's not necessarily out of line with other foldables. I think developers will have decent builds out of the gate with something rather solid sooner than people expect. I love messages/emails with my Fold 5 open. Don't do tons of side by side or top/bottom apps, but when I do it typically is a smooth process.

I love my Galaxy Fold 5, though it's getting up there in age. Most of the apps I use on Android are well adapted to the folding size, and with how established the Mini has been in iPad land, I think 3rd parties will come out with solid builds faster than T$ thinks. I've been away from iOS for a couple years now, but while I was tempted by the Duo, the fiscally responsible-ish side of me says "Gen 2: Electric Boogaloo" is the way to go. Wish it had better cameras, though...

Mine actually gave up on me last year, and I was gutted, I'd had it for years and loved it. I ended up paying for a new motor and board too, but the whole thing left a sour taste.

I'll admit, Duo looks legit cool in these reviews. Also looks like it is going to take 3rd party software a little while (or a long while) to catch up to it. Happy to sit out this round but could be interested in Rev 2.0 next year.

There are long standing threads for speaker and amplifier porn on HC. Thus far, sources have been neglected. It's true, speakers and amps are in general better looking units than most sources but there are certainly some good looking ones out there. Let's start with a mid 80s Revox CDP that is a bit of a legend amongst collectors: The Revox B225. It's overbuilt like a MFer, which is good as it's also prone to failure and in need of extensive servicing. I just watched a really good YouTube video on repairing one while I was editing a whole stack of photos. TL;DW: A whole pile of Swiss engineering, dirty electrical contacts and a new motor. There were some variants with balanced out and at least one meant for professional use: Love those green lights.

I ordered the monthly special today which had one pound of BBK and Mysore in it.

RIP BioWare: EA has shut down the legendary RPG developer.

RIP to Clif "Clif Hanger" Croce from the punk band The Freeze. Saw them in the 80's after their LP Land Of The Lost came out, great energy. Apparently they still put music out until about 2019! They had a song that was used as a title of a punk compilation, This Is Boston Not LA.
