  • Domino’s tries to keep their ingredients fairly similar globally, but Pizza Hut tries much more agressively to adapt to local tastes in certain markets—like Thailand. I don’t know who they poll, but thousand island sauce with imitation crabs is not where it is at, & the frozen dough sucks. At least Domino’s uses corn meal + a shit ton of garlic to mask being lower quality. That said, I had Pizza Hut in Hanoi on Christmas a few years ago & it was honestly was one of the best pizzas I had ever had—from the crust, to zesty sauce, to the right amount of burn on the cheese. So… 🤷

  • Yep. Camera situation is shit. I often carry a mirrorless so I can get a nice photo if I need it, but it means a general photo by me is shit since you need that proprietary software. And yet still since I use the headphone jack more than anything, it is a requirement—along with an unGoogled experience for privacy. If you want a jack + unlockable bootloader with flagship specs, Xperia is the only line left.


  • That is a real concern & it seems they are moving to 4 years of updates as well as not rolling out a new phone every year, but given that LineageOS supports the phones, even if I am not getting firmeware updates, I am willing to take that risk since I get more IO.

    The Xperia 5 is a skinny 6.1" & many consider it to be a small phone option in 2024.


  • I saw the SailfishOS support last month. I would have picked up a 10 instead of 5 even with the non-flapship specs to have a way ‘out’ of Android in case. It is quite a suprise Sony is their chosen brand over the more popular option (even if they have worse IO)—butt the bigger shame is not extending support to the flagship 1 & 5 😔
