  • Yup, I agree 100%. I usually go with a slim case because I follow a few self-imposed rules.

    • Phone does not leave pocket when drinking or around people who are drinking.
    • I don’t need to take my phone out if I’m visiting friends or family.
    • I immediately pocket my phone if I’m moving, even just around the apartment.

    I’ve not dropped my phone once since owning my first 12 years ago. I do not care what it’s made of.



  • There’s not much that combines these two apps together like this, but there are separate alternatives. Nova Player for hosted media (I use Plex on my Raspberry Pi), Antennapod is one of many many podcast forks (most open source podcast apps use the same layout).

    For listening to android localized audio books, I absolutely love Voice. Voice does have chapters built in as long as your audio books have them. You can pick up Voice and Nova Player for free on F-Droid if you want to try them out. Plex and Pi are a little more involved.


  • IF you needed the storage and badly, then I remember Hiren’s BootCD used to come with a tool to scan for and quarantine bad sectors. However, this is just a bandaid on top of an infected wound.

    The wound will keep spreading, eating up precious backup files. I’ve only ever used quarantining once on my mother in law’s laptop because she had to wait weeks to get a new drive, due to the Philippines flooding back then.

    Also, this was an old copy of BootCD that ran through terminal prompt, not a built in Windows PE, and I believe the tool I used has been removed. However, it seems to be replaced with a few alternatives.
