  • Make sure she knows about the effects of Monosodium Glutamate. Make sure she looks up e621 (the E number of MSG), as the name was already censored, to get information on dangers of this commonly used substance.
    Google is trying to censor information about this substance to help fellow corporations and tries to make these search attempts look scary by filtering it out with something called “SafeSearch”, but the truth must be exposed, so disable it.
    P.S.: Text in images takes longer to censor, so it is recommended to look into the image tab


  • would be way cooler if they used snapdragon cpus

    I specifically looked for MediaTek since that band mode selector is part of their software, MediaTek Engineer Mode. Most manufacturers remove it because there’s things you probably shouldn’t play around with, but smaller manufacturers just leave it there. Some of these MTK phones in the past even let you change IMEI with AT commands in it (without root), I don’t know if that’s still available at least on some phones.



  • Just WebUI. I prefer landscape mode, so this fits me well.

    I hate typing in portrait mode, and landscape also fits eye vision better. Plus tabs work far better than switching apps. I wish it could be more desktop like. Really, KDE Plasma + Wayland + maliit-keyboard would be nice combo to have on a phone. That’s what I use on my 2-in-1.

    But anyway, Android could at least have proper taskbar. I mean, I have this in 3-button navigation, surely it could fit more icons for background apps (assuming it wouldn’t kill optimize them):

    Yes, the text, it’s a Ulefone. There’s far worse bugs.
















  • No, I sort by date (last downloaded) and keep replaying few newly added songs on loop for hours until I download another.

    Although it depends on way of access.

    Folder music player on phone - sorting by date or shuffle playlist - rapid playlist (directory) switching
    VLC player on laptop - sorting alphabetically or shuffle playlist - rare playlist (directory) switching
    Navidrome server - whole albums or newly added played individually - rare playlist use (shuffle)*

    * playlists generated using ls playlist_dir/* > playlist.m3u


  • I myself prefer inkjet. Mainly because I don’t really understand the laser printer operation, I can’t even name all the rollers, but the simplicity of pouring more ink into old cartridges and easy head replacement (built into cartridges in my case) is nice, as well as compactness when requiring color. Maybe when I’ll once decide to study it I’ll try a laser.

    HP PSC 1315, somewhere around 20 years old. It has an absolutely botched USB replacement that’s not even fully inserted, but it’s somehow worked for years now.
    It was my first soldering attempt. You’ll squirm now, I didn’t know what flux was. I thought there wasn’t enough heat and went to MAXIMUM. 520°C (968°F) cooked contacts. But somehow it works…

    Hear me out, printers are relatively high-maintenance technology. I want some decent understanding to be able to deal with various faults first, but I am too lazy to study laser printers, so I use inkjet.

    But actually, I kinda want a… dot matrix. 24-pin for sure, but hear me out, I want a slow one. I want to watch it and listen to it printing, so I want it to take enough time. I am not joking. Many times I used high DPI printing which takes 20 minutes per page (A4) and I was watching the heads the entire time.
