DDG started to ignore the country preference (the slide button) I set.

I keep it in the off position, that should mean "all countries" but it still shows me results in Italian language, even if I search in English.

Google started doing that years ago, and it's quite annoying since I usually want international results.

I'm genuinely curious about who uses the Raspberry Pi distro on a x86 computer.

Does it exist only related to the development of the Raspberry Pi OS for aarch64 and armhf or there are people out there that choose Raspberry Pi Desktop as their main distro for their PC/Mac?

IMHO it's a feature that instant photography users are not interested at all.

It's still not clear if the lens is made of glass like the SX-70 or the SLR-680.

I have tens of files open in ST right now and it's using 16 MB of RAM. I'd suggest some tests without the plugins you are describing.

Despite common knowledge you should not shake a Polaroid picture while it's developing.

It's a heritage from the pack film era during the 60s.

IMHO it’s a bad idea.

Market for bluetooth speakers and music streaming apps is saturated.

Their users base didn’t ask for this and they are unimpressed at best or even hangry.

The Polaroid company of today is a small company. I understand they are trying to diversifying their business and monetize their worthy brand but they are probably just wasting resources and damaging their brand: Polaroid should be all about instant photography not branding some lifestyle electronics from some OEM in China.

They are repeating errors from the past, they already failed two times trying this move.

I think it's not the main point discussed here...

I personally don't think that's fair and more importantly it doesn't solve the problem. You will pay less, true, but you still get a used or poor object. At least to me, that's not appealing at all.
