The TCL Note A1 is a kinder, gentler tablet

It’s easy on the eyes, comes with a stylus, and got me to write out an 1,100 word review by hand. But it isn’t E-Ink.

TIL you should read the instructions first. Even for a PopSocket.

Just a PSA that if you happen to order a novelty hot dog PopSocket like I did, definitely take a look at the directions before you tear it out of the packaging. Unconvinced? Ask me about the twenty minutes I spent trying to free a tiny plastic disc from another piece of plastic and then coercing it back into its rightful home. Guess a SIM tool is still good for something these days.

These french fries told me I made a really good point.

AI terminology has broken containment so thoroughly that there’s actually something called “Fries GPT” on the menu at Dave & Buster’s, I regret to inform us. GPT stands for garlic, parmesan, and truffle dust in this case, which is a lot going on, flavor-wise. Personally, I think D&B should have committed to the bit and let you wash them down with an ice-cold LLMonade, but alas.
