In 2010 I nearly joined a company which was building their business on deploying and managing Windows Mobile devices to enterprises. Glad I didn't do that!

2 things caused me to decline a Rolling Stones subscription which I just cannot get over: 1. A Rape on Campus 2. the Marathon bomber on the cover looking like a rock star

I'm surprised that the Boston Marathon bomber cover was not brought up in the article as well.

fwiw, in the print edition the bomber cover was included in the covers displayed on the front page of the business section

Seems to me the NY Times is doing OK, digital subscriptions are way up.

Most likely the parent was using the phrase in jest.

What a great idea! I'm thinking how great this type of bike-optimized map on a dedicated bike gps unit would be.

It's a rabbit hole, but there is pretty good support for loading OpenStreetMap data onto Garmin devices (other device makers did a better job obscuring their formats):

I guess the routing enabled bike maps will take advantage of whatever data is present.

BBBike supports custom areas:

I would buy this if it was significantly cheaper than a phone and made it easy to adjust those tuning parameters. I prefer to keep my phone protected on the bike in case of a collision / fall.

You are confused as to what is a "racially-oriented supremacy organisation".

Why would you buy a phone without an earphone jack? Knock on wood that's something I'd never agree to do :-)

I completely forgot it was 'missing' one until I had the phone for a week or two.

Thankfully all my listening is in the car, over the speaker, via Sonos, via AirPlay or Spotify Connect, or on my Bose QC35 or Jaybirds X3 bluetooth headphones.

It was a mistake. I sometimes think about "upgrading" (downgrading) to a two year old iPhone 6s to get a headphone jack again but it is not available in 256gb.

I'd never get a phone that doesn't have a micro SD card reader.

Something like https://www.fuzecases.com any good?

I bought an SE rather than a 7 last year because of The headphone jack size issue.

Why buy this when you can run all these games and so many more on a Rasberry PI running RetroPie?

1) no fussing about with stuff that most people can't or don't want to do, 2) nice controllers included, no config faffing about, 3) last I checked even the Rpi3 had noticeable slowdowns and/or frame drops on Starfox and Super Mario 2—it's getting close, though, so a hypothetical Rpi4 might get us to 100% acceptable SNES emulation.

Proper licensing and giving money to a company that makes good games.
