These?[^]
I've no idea what they are, I just found a picture on reddit. One guy there says they're Karmazyn[^] broad beans, but they don't look as bright.
If they stay that colour when cooked, they'll look cool beans on a plate.

Did they by any chance come from Chernobyl or Fukushima?

It's a convenient way to get notifications at your PC and an easy way to get access to the latest pictures you've taken with your phone too...
But the greatest feature of it is to be able to launch android calls from your PC.
That way, any phone number on the web, or inside your outlook (or phone book software) can be called without picking the phone.
SUPER!
The only problem is that if you are using bluetooth headphones to get your hands free while performing the call, it simply doesn't work, and you can't redirect the call to your headphones in any way... This happens in income calls too... therefore, unless they solve this detail, a rocking feature is simply a bad thing.

that sounds really cool. i wonder if it will let you do SMS text messaging like google's little app will?
i should probably check it out. i'm averse to phones but my hubby might get some use out of it. He's on the thing constantly.

I'm normally using WhatsApp though. No cost and it also has a windows app you can sync with the phone.

I have one because I need one: it's good for emergencies (both when I need help, and when others need help and I'm not home) and to do anything with my bank or credit cards, all of which want to send me a confirmation code in order to do anything useful.
I have to admit, it would be handy to receive the SMS via the PC so I can copy'n'paste it into the web page ...

Google has you covered for SMS via the PC, or any device with a web browser I suppose.

I just tried it ... and it won't run on my phone, it needs a higher version of Android than I have.

My phones tend to get retired when the battery no longer holds a good charge, or they die of electronic rust: I'm pretty careful with my tools and toys ...

That sounds awfully premature. Is that also your policy for laptops and such? I have laptops with batteries that are in such bad shape you can't even run from one power outlet to the next fast enough (and the laptops are so old it's not worth investing in a new battery - if you can even find them). Fact is, when I use one of my laptops, I'm always near a power outlet anyway...

I dunno - it's generally ten years or so before that happens: my current phone is a Moto G Series 1 and that came out in 2013 ...
It still works fine, holds a charge for between 18 hours and 18 days (depending on me remembering to turn off location services, mostly) and is probably good for quite a few more years, though it is running low on memory thanks to compulsory Google app updates ...
I'm not a fashion victim: I don't need or want the latest and greatest!

Gotcha. You made it sound like it was a yearly thing as too many people do.
In your case, I'm surprised it's still happened often enough for you to say you "tend to" do it when the battery dies. With a sample of this size, you're one hell of a trend spotter.

I had to carry a company "mobile" back in the pre-digital age, when I was on 24 hour call to the World's Most Annoying Customer.
The batteries didn't last too long in those days, the battery tech was a lot cruder.

Yeah, the battery mysteriously died just about the time the phone rang with MAC's number on the display...
I had a similar position years ago, being responsible for all production errors at the app level (so not an admin or anything, but fixing bad queries etc).
it wasn't fun, but I think it really made me a better developer--having to get in everyone's code for fixes made me learn a lot about what is decent code, and what's crap and should be avoided.

No Caller ID in those days! 7-segment LED display, no FarceBok - heck no Google even!

SMS are welcome...
And you can see notifications from other apps too...
