Glad I could help! I wasn’t sure if I was missing something in what you were trying to do - I get that in some cases folding in those features can make things a lot easier.

Don’t really understand why you’re overriding __new__. Surely it’d work better to use:

def __init__(self, source: str | Path, *args: Any) -> None:
        super().__init__(Path(source, *args).expanduser().resolve())

But this removes self.__source and the property. I’m not sure what the advantage of using that is but you could always set that before the line super().__init__(Path(source, *args).expanduser().resolve()).

EDIT: if I’ve completely misunderstood, please could you explain? I don’t really understand what subclassing is trying to achieve here, other than simplifying access to certain os.path functions.

I’m with you on the punctuation. The k bit I think is about showing you are putting effort in to understand and care, so something slightly longer like “k… I understand” or some extra acknowledgement that shows you understand and have taken the time to take it in helps. Personally, I have a big thing about miscommunication, so knowing people have understood me and listened actively is huge to me. “K.” does not express much of anything other than “I saw there was a message”, so I’d want to push to check that I’ve actually been heard.

Hope that makes sense.

Some Asian markets don’t use it, so there are some exceptions. This becomes important when the other requirements filter it down so much (but this was more of a problem a few years ago).

Sony is shifty with their PlayStation practices but their phones are genuinely good - seems like they are closer with the camera part of the business, which is pretty well liked from what I understand. The software support (or lack of) is the main issue but the hardware is clearly made by people that care (although apparently not enough about overheating on the IV series).

I miss my G6 a lot - easily the phone I was most happy with. Sadly, mine had battery issues years ago.

Why do I love the phones of (potentially) soon to be dying (phone divisions of) companies? I should ask a therapist.

As someone who just switched to an Xperia as it’s one of the few phones that still has a headphone jack, NFC, and microSD slot, this sucks. The software support is the biggest problem IMO because the rest is great.

It’s very good but very expensive and the software support is not defined (but previous ones have been 2 years of security updates, which is terrible). I’m hoping Lineage OS will extend the usefulness or I may regret it. I couldn’t find another phone that had microSD and headphone jack that I wanted.

Sony Xperia 1V

I had that only when they got damaged, but they easily get damaged

I have had similar issues with USB-C ports but avoid wireless charging as it often causes damage to the battery via excess heating (particularly if not perfectly aligned). I’d give up a 3.5mm jack for a redundant USB-C.

There are but they are not reliable, even from reputable companies. I had both the ones I tried break very quickly, and moved back to requiring a headphone jack after that.

I loved Lego Island but will never forgive Lego Island 2 for the bad disk that would crash after 3/4 of the game. I never got to finish it.

Rock Raiders & Lego Loco were great (if a little inadvisable in terms of the Lego Loco letters).

Almost the same as my PC from 2014, which unfortunately is also my current PC. I had an asus mobo though.

I’m with you on this. How on earth are one-off login events supposed to work? I want nothing about me logging on to be stored on that device or account other than, for example, the code I download. Maybe I’m missing something but the search I just did suggested connecting my phone via bluetooth, which is also not an option.

Horizon Zero Dawn (and sequel), Control, Mass Effect 2, Grim Fandango, Dreamfall.

In a very different way, Kerbal Space Program because it gives a good understanding of orbital mechanics.
