✨ Woohoo! My girl’s been wanting to create a personal website, but has been hemming and hawing about it for almost a year now. I finally got through to her when I explained that a personal website is like a bonsai tree—it’s supposed to grow with you, there’s no making it perfect on the first try. You ...

https://youtu.be/MjwtTSoIYYs?si=e-yFRkLMd7atptZB This guy went to the big electronics Huaqiangbei streetmarket in Shenzhen, China, bought a bunch of parts, and constructed his own working Samsung Galaxy S9 Plus. The video shows his shopping trips in China’s Silicon Valley, his brief research on the p ...

Do you have some links to some? I'd love to check these out. Link1 Link2 Link3 Link4 Here you go. I don't recommend quoting this lol. Oh wow, those are pretty pricey… And the tactile design doesn’t seem to be as, well, existent , as with older portable music players (iPod, Discman, Walkman). I’m opt ...

I have a Wacom MobileStudio Pro 13'', a drawing tablet PC, running Windows 11 as the primary OS. It’s not a powerful computer by any means, but it’s enough for me to play Another Crab’s Treasure and Cult of the Lamb on the lowest settings, and most importantly, it’s portable and allows me to draw in ...

Hi, @kamp ! Funny to see someone else from the Twin Cities here! I actually live in the Northeast in Minneapolis, love being so close to countless parks, the North Loop, and Downtown at the same time. I’m a hobbyist artist and I currently work at a law firm. I’ve been in the founding team of a cou ...

Ah! Well, for me, it’s actually no problem to remove all SNS apps (and I suppose, refrain from reading news websites now, since they endlessly scroll…) from my phone—and I don’t even browse those on a Mobile browser. I don’t have a problem with going to those platforms only very occasionally in a hom ...

mystify.jpg Remember when we had things like pagination, and screensavers? I keep thinking that maybe if our phones played Mystify on “idle”, instead of showing notifications coaxing us to traipse into endlessly scrolling apps, people wouldn’t be so glued to and stressed by their smartphones. Every ...

I think it’s great that custom ROMs like LineageOS give people an option to extend the life of their older Android phones. I haven’t used it myself, but back when I was using my older Samsung Galaxy S4 (2013) heavily, I had been on CyanogenMod, the predecessor to LineageOS. If I were still using my G ...

I currently have a OnePlus 8 (2020) as my daily driver, received it last year in 2023 as a gift after my old Samsung Galaxy S4 (2013) finally gave up the ghost in battery life. (I still use it as an at-home BlueTooth iPod in a charging stand.) I used to be a major smartphone nerd, testing and ...

I’m glad it’s an option for people who want it, but I’ve never been interested in any of the Light Phones, ever. E-ink is great, but this thing looks like even more of a depression rectangle than actual depression rectangles. For that price point (and what seems to be still relatively few mechanical ...
