Wife gave her okay earlier, so I've placed my order with T-Mobile for a iPhone 12 Pro Max. Should be here after I return from mini-vacation.

I've been using my iPhone 12 Pro Max for a couple of days now, so here's my initial impressions of the phone:

1.) Holy fuck is this thing big (*cue that's what she said jokes here*)

2.) Battery has been a fucking champ, it took a full day almost to run the battery down to 20%. Battery took just over an hour to charge back up to 100%.
3.) Outside of one minor issue with my bank (over verification), I have all of my debit/credit cards entered and can be readily used in Apple Pay.

4.) Camera is fucking ace. The camera combined with something like Halide means that I'm going to be taking a lot more pictures of my grandkids.

5.) Everything is fast as fuck. Really the only thing left for Apple to do with their mobile devices would be to put in high-refresh rate screens (I'm locked in for 2 years, so I will not be updating to the 2021 iPhone).

Funny how everyone getting upset Flash is no longer supported, but when this was first enounced 2 years ago most people's replies where they don't even use Flash any more.

There is the ruffle Flash Player emulator, which the Home Star Runner website runs on now.

Wait, that site is still around?

Oh yeah, Homestar Runner still around. They are slowly upgrading everything for a while over to Ruffle, but they are also converting alot of the cartoons over to Video on You Tube as well. The menu's work now on Homestar as well, but not all the games yet as Ruffle is still in Development.
The Brothers Chap haven't been as active as they both work in the Animation Industry.

I know Matt Chapman worked on Season 1 of Gravity Falls for Disney.

I also know one of the biggest supporters of Ruffle has been Newgrounds, they are listed as a Diamond level sponsor to the project.

Does any work need to be done to convert to Ruffle? Seems like Ruffle is just a flash player substitute/emulator. I assume old .swfs will work fine without modification.
