I was already a long time KISS launcher user after the sale (long time nova user)
Recently discovered Kvaesitso and I have fully switched! It is just a bit more featureful than KISS while still being very clean and now when people use my phone for something, they can actually find apps too which is nice.
That is pretty expensive nowadays, if OP wants to go that expensive, getting a mini PC with the latest intel N150. The pi 5 doesn’t even have hardware AV1 decoding. By the time you have all of the pi accessories, it is not much of a price difference, but defi itely a performance difference.
Plus you get benefits like actual storage instead of a separately bought SD card, more RAM, 2.5G ethernet, and HDMI2.1 & USB–C displayport.
Then you slap Linux on it (and also hope that plasma bigscreen is a success in the near future) and you have a very reliable 4K HTPC that can decode anything you throw at it. It has enough horsepower to be a home server at the same time, unlike a pi while also having just a bit higher idle power usage (2W or so).
Is this similar to Wero as a back end or different parts of the process?
Everyone will claim it is the hardware, but we can see from cheap phones that a majority of people actually get outside of the US that it doesn’t matter as much.
It was never a complete phone after 5 years. It never had the software to actually use it as a daily driver. Calling still “doesn’t work all the time” according to users and similar with texting. If your phone literally can’t be trusted to make a simple call and receive a text out of the box, then it won’t be bought to be used as a normal phone. That’s as simple as it gets.
It has just been relegated to being a fun side experimental phone for enthusiasts, but you can’t have a company-carrying product like that because the consumer base is too small to fund the software development.
They also specifically say
While in the future the PinePhone Pro will be able to serve as your daily-driver smartphone, at present the PinePhone Pro should be considered a development platform.
On the store, which further discourages consumers.
Building a smartphone OS and all the features needed is an extremely expensive task, so it is completely understandable that it has gone at a snails pace.
Open source Obsidian notes application.
The second brain part comes (I think) from the zettelkasten method of brain dumping all of your thoughts, notes on things you learn, etc… "On paper” in order to organize it and not lose it.
It is often recommended (along with to-do lists) for people with ADHD, and good for people like me with bad short-medium term memory.
People keep saying this, but they could rename the pixel as “nexus” and it wouldn’t change the phone.
The modern “nexus” phone would be the exact same as every other smartphone on the market right now…
Stress is literally a giant guess.
It is the exact same “technology” that mood rings work off of. Essentially a wild guess based off of skin temperature.
There are many biological things we can measure. One smart watch is even getting FDA approval for blood pressure monitoring by the time difference between the electrical and pressure wave, cool stuff.
But instead, smart watch providers push complete bullshit wild guesswork “features” in order to gamify yourself like a tomogachi
Xperia 5ii here, fingerprint sensor slowly died. i still absolutely think it is a software issue that Sony intentionally put in there for planned obsolescence because Sony sometimes just re-enables it randomly after a restart, and multiple other phones have a similar side fingerprint sensor without the issue at all.
Some people have said a factory reset fixes it for a while too, which lends more credibility to it being an intentional software block.
If you mean weightlifting, liflog is really the best that there is right now. Beautiful interface, simple, database of exercises to add (though it is isn’t as good as something like Progression, which isn’t open source).
Programs for weightlifting are pretty simple and Jeff Nippard has great program overviews for different goals and availability, and tons of other fitness youtubers also.
If you mean something that is more bodyweight/calisthenics with video/animated explanations then I don’t know of one.
Or if your internet enters the house in a dead zone.
I have a brick house and our internet comes inside literally in one far corner with the most walls around it, so if the access point in there. Half of our house gets no internet.
I went for a cloud gateway ultra and then one access point centrally in the house where everything can reach.
Yep, it is made by google to replace google fit api.
It is
However, for file transfer, LocalSend is a smoother UX and supports almost any device for transfer. It won me over from KDE connect because I can transfer things with different phones, friends’ comuters when they are here, work computer in rare cases with a portable install and no need to bond anything.
I think android HealthConnect doesn’t get enough notice as it is a kind of silent background service.
It is local, opt-in, and privacy respecting connection API for sharing data between fitness apps with fine control over what gets shared where. You can have the shittiest privacy-violating fitness app and it can’t just steal all of the data from your smartwatch or whatever because you connect the two apps via a stupid cloud integration.
Contrary to that, for whatever reason I get a hardware survey 2 times a year or so. (Running Linux for 8 years). I think it might have to do with some algorithm based on play time or something. There is little sense for steam to select a steam account that is completely inactive so it must take that into account somehow
Is your printer network attached and scanning via flatpak packages?
Network printing works fine, USB printing and scanning works also, it is just anything having to use saned that flatpaks can’t seem to use
I have hopped through multiple distros and I have never once had scanning not work on a “normal” one after correctly setting up saned. Only bazzite because of the flatpak/system split (also why any embedded programming needs distrobox)
It’s worth it to note for people switching that your network printer is unlikely to have usable scanning functionality with flatpak scanners you install (unless something has changed in the last 6 months since I tried last)
I think the issue is more that large tech firms can absolutely deal with external security in their applications. The amount of times gmail or Microsoft 365 has been hacked and leaked a bunch of client data is statistically zero when looking at their attack area.
Joe Dirt self hosting a mail server for his neighbors on a salvaged rack server is 1000x more likely to get hacked or lose a ton of his neighbors’ data than a big tech firm.
That is kind of the trade off for community hosting. There are very very few backup and security-literate people in communities.
Local send is absolutely my go-to. It is awesome.
iOS, computer, android, whatever, it just always works and is fast and everything is extremely user friendly.
I essentially stopped using kdeconnect except for its automatic clipboard and notifications.
Syncthing is a bit more complicated to set up, but that is what I use for “file sync” which in my view is different than file sharing which is different than file hosting like next/owncloud.
I mean, jellyfin is absolutely even.more of a security nightmare than Plex, with multiple unfixed CVEs IIRC (software, not website or forum)
I use jellyfin also, but I only trust it not exposed to the internet at all. That is one very big area of improvement for them.
That and subtitle syncing.
