Shameless plug for my own GBC game, it's very kid friendly https://blue-dog-games.itch.io/bouncy-bouncy

I had an NC100. I used to write BASIC games on it. Fun device, very limited obviously but super cute with a nice keyboard. Good times

My old phone was a redmi note 10 pro with power button sensor and I did find it more accurate than my current pixel 7a under screen sensor. But it hasn't been a deal breaker for me

There were 103 murders in Greater London last year, which also has a population of just under 10 million and of course is a dense urban environment with a lot of inequality. Of those, 67 were stabbed and only 8 were shot.

Bomb/grenade attacks are almost unheard of in the UK, outside of terrorist incidents.

I don't mean to attack Sweden which is an admirable country in many ways, and I wish the UK would adopt many of its policies. It's precisely because it's such a well run country that the increase in violent crime is so shocking

Yeah idk, I have family in Helsinborg. A car bomb outside elderly relatives flat - in a nice part of a nice town - someone shot dead in another relative's street, the police station was attacked with a hand grenade... Last year when we arrived to visit a main shopping street was blocked off after a bombing in a flat. Yeah it's still a nice country and I haven't literally witnessed any of these incidents, but criminal violence honestly feels closer there than at home in London

It has a very specific meaning in South Africa that doesn't apply anywhere else

Really? I shouldn't be surprised but that's depressing. I'm happy to pay for good apps mind

Thing is, there actually are some good basic apps out there. Things like pomodoro timers with no ads or tracking. Super basic but useful, and hard yobfind because they get buried below other 'slick' versions stuffed with ads and trackers.
