  • Some recollections from Reddit:

    A bot that links the top posts of all time for a community. Gives a good sense of the community’s greatest hits when referenced in discussions.

    A bot that converts imperial to metric units or vice versa. Some people do find this one annoying, but as a metric user, this one helps me understand miles and pounds, etc.

    A bot that summarises or pulls the first paragraph of a Wikipedia article.



  • I’ve had an Xperia S and Z5. I loved both phones because they were well designed aesthetically, both hardware and software, in comparison to the competition at the time such as the early Galaxy S models. As part of their UI skins, they also had some thoughtful features and some hardware features which at the time weren’t so common, such as side fingerprint unlock with the later models. Nothing truly revolutionary, true, but just a well rounded experience, and at least with their early models, worth the slight price premium.

    Then Sony stopped selling their phones in Australia a few years ago, so that was that. :(
