Old school Star Wars fan here. Been watching the Mandalorian - nickel review is it's decent as a Star Wars show but nothing special in terms of character development or plot. Decent action, but Baby Yoda is cute and attention grabbing in a way the Ewoks or Puggles or whatever else never were. Whoever came up with that idea, I hope they get paid nicely by Disney.

Comment Re:Reluctantly using Apple. (Score 1) 71

I'd say Apple hardware is competitive at the higher end, if not always the pinnacle. RAM shouldn't be an issue except as an "I have more" type spec, if the system runs fine, which it seems to do. The cameras are generally rated very highly, and the screens get good objective reviews too. My biggest reason to recommend Apple is the length of time a phone gets supported & patched software. Look at the % of devices running IOS 13 (or even 12 & 13) vs. the Android world where even a few year old device is running an older OS.

If the auto-landing mechanism fails, next thing you know the flight attendants are walking up and down the aisle, asking if anyone knows how to fly. There's an auto-pilot, but if he gets deflated and the manual inflation tube is broken, you end up with Ted Striker flying the plane and Leslie Nielsen cracking jokes.
