I kinda wanna upgrade it to a slightly newer old iPad but these things keep their value so well… and most Android tables are, frankly, crap
it's a great device but the screen is just a tad too small and/or low-res to read manga comfortably, and well, 512megs of RAM isn't fun
I'd consider downgrading it to iOS 6 but then it probably wouldn't run any apps anymore
trying to use my iPad mini (first gen!) to read an ePub and oof this thing is chugging for some reason
I know video game is that if you fall in water you take zero damage but uh, that's high up
losing in Wii Sports Resort swordfighting looks incredibly painful
gosh Wii Sports Resort is an excellent game
I'm also hella nostalgic for it, we played the heck out of that
the mario kart wii online experience is so bad, like, you know the game must be great if people subject themselves to those wait times and that netcode

"You’ve likely never heard of 82-year-old computer scientist Lynn Conway, but her discoveries power your smartphones and computers. Her research led to successful startups in Silicon Valley, supported national defense, and powered the internet.
Long before becoming a highly respected elderly professor at the University of Michigan, Conway was a young researcher with IBM IBM . It was there, on August 29, 1968, that IBM’s CEO fired her for [being trans]. Nearly 52 years later, in an act that defines its present-day culture, IBM apologized and sought forgiveness."

finally Twitter rolled out "fleets" for me which is *checks* a feature where people post about how fleets are bad and unnecessary

at least some just sell the reference design, that one's pretty decent, especially from the side
