At first I was like “challenge accepted, I love good bimbocore”, but after listening you were right, I do kind of hate this.

I feel the need to stress I’d never buy one with Windows.

I don’t want to give any money to Microsoft and I do want the manufacturer to think about drivers and stuff.

I’m glad I’m not the only one into the old British Guy music. Pete and Bas rule and I like the Northern Boys alright too.

Well, Sindhu World is creme de la creme of the UK drill scene at the moment. There’s no one of any age who makes better, more playful / fun and in the case of Northern Boys / Norman Pain more relatable (to the common non-gangster person) rap - I came by this opinion by systematically combing through Pressplay Media and GRM Daily after I saw Pete and Bas for the first time. Also, both 91shots and Handsome Dexter produce top notch industrial-strength instrumentals - I give a slight edge to Dexter for playfulness and crazy pockets he carves in unexpected places.

Though, after listening to it all, I have to say Norman Pain hits especially hard. It reminds me of Alice in Chains in the nineties coming as a counter to all the glam prancing around.

Absolutely brilliant. They didn’t even have their two choral voice guys (they had covid at the time), but they have great stage presence and energy and the sound was remarkably crisp for such distortion-heavy music in such a small venue.

Performance of OSMand is actually great on mid-level SOCs I usually get. Anything with snapdragon 6xx or more and performance is a non-issue for me, especially since it has a new opengl2 renderer. Also, it uses very, very little battery navigating me with voice (so screen off) along a pre-defined GPX on locally downloaded maps in airplane mode. And the simplicity of the interface is a downside once you spend a few hours tinkering with OSMand and get used to all it can do.
