@trevor.rudol.ph @chrispville.bsky.social Hello! Have a FlippyDrive and love it. Was wondering if any more firmware updates would be coming for it. I see 1.4.6 pre-release on github. Don't think I've seen any updates posted about the project in a while.

Inside Tokyo's 'phantom' stations — and the stories they tell
A sealed 1930s subway platform beneath Shimbashi Station still holds traces of what the capital looked like before the war.

Was talking to a friend living in Miyagi, and he mentioned the prefecture started a Google Map to mark all the bear sightings (and attacks). Holy hell, it's like the whole place is covered in bears. And of course his neighborhood has them

Mercari CEO now admits that the site should've banned Switch 2 listings.
Some listings were for the box only, or to take advantage of confusion with the original Switch.
In the future, certain products will be banned instead of being dealt with on a case-by-case basis.

Cute girl I don't recognize at all messaged me on WhatsApp in English. Says she's from Japan and moving back from Hawaii soon. She sent a photo and still don't recognize her. Google image search doesn't show anything. Whatsapp shows account is from 2017, so don't think it's a fake amount.
