Feedback, Fallout and Contributions

Jeremy Harpham on the Size of the GameBoy vs Aluminium Analogue Pocket (from last show)
Slightly less tall and wide, but certainly not so fat.
My issue (apart from size) is that there were two buttons A/B on the right, not 4 – for my fat thumb to crunch.

Gareth,
Just wanted to say I’m thoroughly enjoying the Linux content on the podcast (I’m a Kubuntu user, myself). I’m looking forward to the day you convince Ted to make the switch, as well.
Love the show.

John Terry on The Starlink Mini

Now available in the UK with a slightly different pricing plan. A £50 per month roaming plan means you can take it all over Europe and have 50GB of data to use each month. You can pause the service if you want so you only need to pay for the months you use it and can keep it as a backup device if that’s what you need from it. The best part is that it can be powered from USB-C with a powerful enough power bank and has a built in WiFi router so you can just connect with it as one device. It can also be hooked up via Ethernet to a normal home router too.
