I think the point of 11h is to achieve that kind of range without directional antennas. Basically as a higher-bandwidth version of LoRa.

Yeah, that one took me a minute. I think “drip” or “slow drip”? I know “drip” used to be a term but was never one I associated with “screwball” or “crackpot”. Usually I’d heard “drip” to mean something closer to “dull” or “boring”.

In the 90s, before I learned Spanish, it was Macarena

…it’s a suppository.

Talk to the hand! Cause the face ain’t listening.

Pretty decent unless there’s a lot of animation / video in them. Calling, texting, looking up something on the internet, bank app, auth app, etc all work great. Some of the stock Android components don’t work super great with it, though, like the quick action buttons (though, arguably, they don’t work great on any Android phone either lol).

Feels sluggish at times but that’s just the e-ink being what it is. I mostly treat it like a dumb phone that’s also an e-reader.

I’ve always joked that coding as a hobby is just digital knitting lol.

I’ve gradually weaned off of smartphones over the last 18 months. Currently daily-driving the Minimal Phone and loving its distraction-free (or at least distraction-lite) ways.

I may not be analog like the article is highlighting, but I have basically eliminated the doom scrolling and have reignited my passion for reading (the one “distraction” the Minimal Phone does well is being an e-reader since it’s got an e-ink screen).

Roughly 1,600 TikTok posts were tagged #AnalogLife during the first nine months of 2025

I’m just going to ignore the irony of that and appreciate it at face value 😆

Mine is also from the “Born to be a Bureaucrat” song but it’s the “born to be all obsessive and snotty. I made my friends and relations fill long applications to get into my tenth birthday party” part.

15 posts for a 3hr old account. Slow your roll, Louna.

Update: Yes! Seems to be. Calipers confirm the diameter. TYVM!

Thanks. I’ll grab my calipers and confirm if the measurements are correct. Specs say MHF4 is 1.13mm.

Those letters probably wouldn’t be very helpful, so it’d basically be a $25,000 dick joke lol.

(Or whatever the grand-prize value is these days)

For sure. My shower thought is just that they won’t be anything like the simple pleasure of the DVD screensaver. It would probably ads that cycle through.

I know right? If you can find a better one that pays out, send me a link and I’ll happily update the post. I couldn’t find one that wasn’t forced and only went in the corner.

A totally appropriate reaction!

I felt that. It took me 3 overnight sessions to download the “Throw a pie at Bill Gates” screensaver over 14.4 dial-up back in the day.
