I know one guy in one of our Telegram chats that simply loves their Android turtle emoji

👀

The reason I switched from Gboard was because it autocorrected a capital “I” to a small “i”

Thanks! Been on the lookout for good HDDs with external power supply.

How are you connecting the two drives to the Pi? Do they have external power supplies?

Asus ZenPhone? Have you been living under a rock these past few months lol

I don’t think that model is available here in my country :(

Would love to create a full mesh network, but it’s hard to find multi band devices with OpenWRT support in my country ATM

Just wait until Google eventually kills it off lol

IIRC, that is literally just a skinned KDE Connect lol. Probably even just a name change. Never used Zorin, but this is what I remember either DistroTube or Chris Titus saying.

I’m currently reading Over Sea, Under Stone by Susan Cooper, which is the first book in the Dark is Rising sequence.

I first read this book years ago, and what has stuck me ever since was the vivid use of imagery by Cooper. I’ve also watched the movie, but it’s the book that has always stuck with me.

This is usually a function that full blown media servers offer.

Jellyfin is the one that jumps to mind with this functionality, however I haven’t really this functionality out as of yet.

Isn’t that still the case there?

I wonder how much it’ll cost here, and how long it will be before it gets delivered lol.

I remember it being a huge thing on r/cinematography and r/praisethecameraman

• What is the Wi-Fi card you’re using? Some cards using a Realtek chipset have bad performance.
• Check and see if the antenna is being obstructed by the case on S920, or if there’s anything metal nearby that could be causing interference.

As to how you can go about debugging it, that part is hard. I’ve suffered from frequent disconnections on my OpenWRT install on a router, and I had to trawl through the system logs (it’s there on LuCI) to see what was triggering the disconnection when using the AP. After you find the line you think could be it, Google for it to see if anyone else has had similar issues. Ask on the OpenWRT forums since people on there might have come across it and have a solution.

You should also check to see if a reconfig of a very basic AP triggers the issue.

Back in the day, it was a really great way to find new apps. And by back in the day, I mean when it was still called the Android Market.

Its initial transition to Play Store in the ICS era also wasn’t too bad. It still kept a lot of the good things from Android Market. But since the launch of Lollipop, things have really deteriorated. It might not have really been the fault of Google, but there’s a lot more noise with subpar apps that crowd the store now. There’s also the incessant ads for sketchy apps featured prominently that leaves a bad aftertaste in your mouth.

Like you, I’ve probably spent like 30 minutes on the Play Store over the last 4 years probably. Every app I want today is either on F-Droid, or already pre-installed on my phone. Or they’re PWAs, and it’s easy to install them just by going to the website.

Yes, most definitely! It’s the reason I avoid Android tablets in general. I have a random Android tablet from Lenovo that runs Lollipop and is stock-ish.

Used it for about a year, and now it sits as a paperweight.

There have been very few good affordable Android tablets: both the variants of the Nexus 7, and then the only other one I can recollect is the Amazon Fire Tablet 7, which launched probably sometime in 2015 or 16.

Yes, definitely! I don’t have as much use for a tablet these days, which is an unfortunate thing. My phone is big enough to cover most use cases, and my iPad 2017 is too big to be used comfortably for most things - it’s not ergonomic to hold upright in most conditions, it’s slippery without a folio case (and cases are hard to find unless you get an official Apple one which is very expensive), typing on it is a pain because of how thin it is, and the only saving grace it has in terms of typing is the mini floating swipeable keyboard added to iPad OS in recent years.

I’d definitely love to run something like a Nexus 7 again! Perfect form factor for most things, including media consumption, reading books, and much much more!

I add it through their web interface. I signed up several years ago, but I spent 2020 and 2021 updating OSM for my city to be as good as Google Maps for major places, posting their open and close times, better pin placement and such.

Man, I always wanted a Nexus 7, but it was never easy to get one in my country back then. And then Google officially partnered with Amazon and Flipkart to launch the tablet…right after I’d gotten a new iPad.
