We know for certain that Gboard accesses the internet at least so it’s not out of the question. I’ve settled on Openboard, and my only problem with it is that the UK English keyboard suggests American spellings, but I’ve read that that’s a problem with all open source keyboards because of the .dict file, so I’m currently settling on the latter side of the dilemma between sacrificing privacy for Gboard and putting up with being recommended American spellings.

I went to visit my mum and dad last year and I found a globe in my sister’s old bedroom from our childhood. It was interesting seeing the handful of countries on there that have since changed.

May I ask what Google Drive has that other free cloud storage things don’t? As in what makes it work great?

One thing I find funny about the original meme is that the hands are just dirty and manly, like you can’t see any calluses or cuts or whatever, so it’s like a hand shibboleth.

It’s astonishingly obvious once it’s pointed out:

There’s no B#/Cb and no E#/Fb, so the groups of two black notes are between C and E, and the groups of three are between F and B.

I assumed it was so thieves couldn’t just root the phone, but I’ve no idea how much difference a week makes in that context.

Ah, I actually use Youtube on a PC, but that is certainly good to know and I’ll try it on the tablet.

I’ve no idea! I just looked up why it wasn’t showing the OEM-unlocking option and it came up with forum posts from years ago saying so. I’ve just set a note in my calendar so I’ll think about it next week, ha.

They’re called hands, because you do them with your hand. A font is a given instance of a typeface, which is a design of a script. Now you can be pedantic too!

Never thought I’d read that word on this website!

I don’t think this answer is really in the spirit of “no stupid questions”.

That’s almost how I migrated, except I had to give a month’s notice at work and I’d already found an address to register at.
