That's really contextual. Many times I'll go to a manufacturers site and the price is $3-$10 more than just using that same manufacturers store front on Amazon. Especially factoring in the "free shipping" w/Prime.

Mostly for nostalgia, I loved my Kyocera flip phone growing up. And yea, I basically just added time management tools to IG and Reddit on the 13 and I've been fine.

iMessage (Messages) doesn't work for me after upgrading. Downgrading to macOS 26 looks to be a chore so I guess I'm just SOL until it gets patched.

I tried out dumb.co. Their flip phone supports maps, MFA, Uber, imessage/call forwarding.

I unfortunately didn't use it nearly as much as I thought I would have. It's also significantly bulkier in my pocket than my 13 mini. Loved the idea though.

Been using Suunto Run for about a year. Would have switched back if it had dual-freq GPS. It makes a huge difference for more accurate pacing.

I run daily with a 13 mini easily. My shorts have a pocket in the liner that makes it trivial.

I don't fully understand people that carry their phone in hand when running.

Been using Suunto Run for a year and have been happy. The thing I mostly miss is Apple Pay and Runna compatibility. I usually have my phone with me for the former, and I'll be snagging the Race 3S when it supposedly launches in Oct.

I'm not the market for it (I don't watch youtube, etc on phone), but I've seen some Samsung folds IRL and they are pretty amazing for video content.

This is a gorgeous design.

Mobile app seems to work, browser app doesn't seem to work at all.

Seconding this. America's Army (AA) was very popular and well liked, especially because it was free IIRC. Medal of Honor:Allied Assault is another addition to the above list.

I miss Tribes

Ahh, YMMV then. My cats go nuts for them. We call them their "special meatball"

Pill pocket treats have been great for this exact purpose.

Fond memories. I remember going to the local YMCA (sub-2000) and going from DOS terminal to DOS terminal typing in (IIRC) `exec wolf3d.exe` and finding one of the few PC's that had it loaded to play it.

That's the thing. Prime video was ad free for years and then it was a $3 upcharge to remove ads all of a sudden.

Absolutely enshittification. I canceled my prime membership that day.
