beretguy··on Linux Running in a PDF
Linux in browser existed for a while. And if PDF can run JS then just put "Linux.js" in PDF. JS opens up a whole can of worms.

beretguy··on Google Pixel 4a's old firmware is gone, trapping users on buggy battery update
5.81" is not small. Even 4.7" iPhones are not small. 4" is the perfect size for a smartphone.

> I can put all the URLs here if you ask.

I'm not who you replied to but can you please do? I've been wanting to make a LineageOS device for a while but was being cheap (and it wasn't high enough priority). But maybe now there will be a lot of cheap Pixel 4a on eBay in the near future and I'll go for it.

beretguy··on Ask HN: What's the best MP3 player I can buy today?
Sandisk used to offer basic old-school mp3 players but looks like they shut them down. Can still find used on Amazon/ebay.

iOS has KMPlayer which was good the last time I used it: https://apps.apple.com/us/app/kmplayer/id835776444

Also Plexamp if you want to use Plex.

Walmart has a big selection of mp3 players: https://www.walmart.com/search?q=mp3%20player&typeahead=mp3%... However, i was not able to find good enough one that I would recommend. You can try searching yourself.

I personally use Plexamp and Musi.
