Unihertz (maker of Jelly)

I bought a Unihertz TikTok E in their sale for $109 US as a temporary phone. it's fine for a cheap phone, the specs seem genuine, the camera is 48MP (verified in Camera FV5 and open camera.) Bluetooth is fine with headphones and car stereo, WiFi in the house is also OK. the only downside is poor battery life (Just about a day with heavy use, maybe 2 days very light use. The gimmick is a small round screen on the back that can be a clock, or answer calls, or some other things. I wouldn't trust it long term though.

Breaking and Entering

Naturally, the outdoor camera I want is discontinued. They have three wireless offerings and I'm not fond of any of them. One is not a great night camera, one has a flood light that comes on when the camera is activated, and the third an alarm. Their price for a NVR that will do 8 wireless cameras with a 4TB drive, two 4K wireless inside and two 4K wireless outside cameras with shipping and tax $453.99 No subscription. I don't know if that's reasonable or over priced. I hoped to spend less that five bills. I have an Ethernet cable and HDMI cable so I should need nothing but the time to set it all up and marry all the devices together.

Great movie

my guess is that they will release the movie for streaming and for home purchase later this year in the fall.

i might look into vpn to watch the movie. amazon prime in japan has it available as of may 3rd.

Google Clock Alarm Off/Snooze Behaviour

I want to ask if anyone else is seeing an odd behaviour with the standard Google clock app alarm, regarding the Off & Snooze buttons when the alarm is triggered. I'm still running a Galaxy S10+ these days, am satisfied with it until I find an offer I can't refuse to upgrade.

I've noticed the functionality of the buttons keeps switching back and forth every few months from a slider to push buttons. Since two days ago, the alarm shutoff screen is a slider - slide right Off and slide left Snooze. But for the past 3 months it had been two distinct push buttons - Snooze on the left and Off on the right, with the action being a touch of either button.

Have seen it happen over and over several times in the past 3 years, and am curious whether it's tied to periodic updates or some feature that I'm not aware of; there is no setting that manages this behaviour. While the main function of the buttons isn't impaired, it's odd to wake up groggily trying to figure out if I should touch the Off button or slide the center button to turn Off. Only once had it impacted me, when it was in slider mode and I accidentally turned it on Snooze instead of Off, getting surprised a few minutes later while getting dressed and suddenly the alarm rings out again.
