Glad you reminded me.

Does anyone know of an app that does this for Canadian (specifically Ontario) gas stations? Seems most of hem are for US and overseas.

Anyone playing Rolando? I picked it up today and absolutely love it. Lately i've been considering re-buying a PSP for Loco Roco, but I think this might have saved me the money...

Definitely recommend this game, especially to anyone who enjoyed Loco Roco. :)

Pretty much just two/three apps - the rest I do using Safari

Facebook

NOS Teletekst (Dutchies only)

Google App

Also; from personal experience, when I stopped using WinterBoard my batterylife increased - I was always keen on customizing the icons and wallpapers (nothing else tho) but my batterylife was about 2-3 days of 'normal' use on my 2G 8GB iPhone - now it's something like 4-5 days...

ScummVM :D

Oh and also Palringo :)

Although this is on the Touch, although no real difference.

How do you use ScummVM? As far as I know playing is almost impossible due the lack of a real right click.

Yeah, classics look WAY better than Stanza, but it look like it have a limited internal library and this isn't cool at all.

Specially for a Frenchie like me, reading a full English book would be a nightmare...

    • For the purpose that it was built for, it’s a great machine. It’s okay to own multiple machines, it’s okay for machines to be different. If every computer was the same, they’d be boring af.
    • OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT memory by Pradeep Viswanathan OpenAI is rolling out a major upgrade to ChatGPT's memory, making the system more capable, current, and scalable across long-term use. Memory allows ChatGPT to remember useful details about users, including their preferences, projects, and constraints. Instead of starting every conversation from scratch, ChatGPT can use this context to provide more relevant responses in future chats. OpenAI first launched saved memories in February 2024. That feature allowed users to explicitly ask ChatGPT to save information into its memory, such as travel plans or writing preferences. However, this system had limits because it depended heavily on users giving clear instructions to remember something. Additionally, saved memories could become stale over time. In April 2025, OpenAI expanded memory by allowing ChatGPT to reference past chat context outside the saved memories list. This was powered by a background process called “dreaming,” which automatically curates memories from chat history. This made ChatGPT better at learning from natural conversation without requiring users to manually save every detail. Today, OpenAI announced a more capable and compute-efficient memory architecture built on top of dreaming. This new system improves ChatGPT’s ability to carry forward useful context, follow user preferences, and remain accurate as time passes. According to OpenAI’s internal evaluations, the new system improves factual recall from 67.9% in 2025 to 82.8% in 2026. Preference adherence improves from 55.3% to 71.3%, while accuracy over time improves from 52.2% to 75.1%. The best part of this new system is a new memory summary page where users can review ChatGPT's memories. Users can even update details, correct information, or give instructions on what topics ChatGPT should bring up and when. This new, improved memory system is available to ChatGPT Plus and Pro users in the US starting today. It will roll out to more countries, as well as Free and Go users, in the coming weeks.
    • I work for a video production company in Australia. The camera operators shoot footage and then pass the SD card over to the editors. Much easier than handing over the entire camera. Plus, on a busy day you can hand off the SD card and then pop another in for the next shoot. Or, you might have used multiple SD cards because you need the extra space for a long shoot. I also use USB cables and wifi for transferring footage, but in many cases an SD card reader is the easiest method.
