gollark: A somewhat bad demo of ARC (https://forums.computercraft.cc/index.php?topic=10): basically, it displays text on overlay glasses when you're near "beacons" which broadcast text to display. Look at the top right, the top left/bottom left are not ARC stuff.
gollark: Hmm. That's annoying, then. I'll just have to wait a bit or try and dredge up some old Android device which mostly fits my criteria.
gollark: Apologies if it's already been mentioned a lot, but my phone's (nonreplaceable) battery is degrading beyond the point of usefulness, so I probably need to replace it soon, and it seems that I can't really get other devices with replaceable batteries. So anyway:- can I get a PinePhone in the UK, ideally without horrible shipping cost and within... a month or so? If so, how/where?- how is the support if the hardware breaks somehow?- is it at least usable enough that I can use it for phone calls/SMS/web browsing reasonably reliably?
gollark: Activating orbital lasers.
