Holy shit, TIL Mexico has a legally prescribed 6-day work week! That's brutal.

He's a sharp one, the ol' Donny!
I backed the Kickstarter, and oh wow did I get my money's worth! I genuinely wasn't expecting them to finish, and that's fine - I was there for the support and the ride, however it turned out.
It's been so long since I originally backed the project that I'm not really that interested in playing it any more, but I'm happy for them that they got it over the line... well, most of it.
Like many Kickstarters they promised a lot without realising just how difficult or expensive it would be. There's still a lot of deliverables ahead for them, but they've been pretty open about running out of money and operating on pure good will at this point, and I can't say I blame them with over a decade of their lives poured into it.
I hope it does well for them!
Isn't this asking for trouble with spam, bots etc?
Now do crypto.
It's how most large forums ran back in the day and it worked great. Quality over quantity.

To take up a career in programming is to be professionally confused on a day-to-day basis. It's normal to feel overwhelmed at times, but this is the advice I give younger engineers: accept that confusion, and try to channel it into curiosity instead of letting it fester into stress and anxiety.
Wow, it's pretty wild they didn't even attempt to encrypt or protect this data, even if it is local to your machine. What a treasure trove for malware to sift through.
Would love to see the same tests with an adblocker installed.
I would strongly consider just crying about the headphone jack. Like you I'm really annoyed that most phones got rid of it, but take a look at how many more options you have on gsmarena phone finder if you ditch it.
My main use case for it was sharing my wired noise cancelling headphones between my work PC and phone for zoom calls. But I ended up getting a nice pair of Bluetooth headphones recently and so haven't used it in a long time. I'm sure it'll still annoy me on occasion living without it, but if it's only a few times a year I can live with that for all the options it opens up for new phones.
It wouldn't surprise me if this decision was more about external conditions than internal ones. They've got the money to burn, and are likely forecasting an insane number of sales, so timing it to ensure a more favourable global economy seems believable to me.
