In the beginning I used OsmAnd for maps, its a bit wonky sometimes but the maps are high quality. Magic Earth fixed the the wonky ness but uses osm maps, is pretty great visually pleasing and can do all sorts of settings like speed assistance, lane assistance. I haven't used it much but Organic Map looks good too, seems to have a focus on public transportation.

What do you do for calendar sync? I found I had to use an extension like DAVx⁵ to synchronize them to my phone, did you find another way?

I heard they're pretty great, building bike lanes and such

Tv has a sock!

I always refer back to this video, he has a lot of excellent points.

Of course all of this varies depending on the persons workflow on the given device. Personally I don't know if it's actually be able to write 36 words per minute on a traditional phone keyboard, so I agree on the sentiment that a phone generally is not a replacement for a computer, but a Swype enabled keyboard I might actually get close.. I really like the idea of a pie launcher for the desktop, I use one for the phone, and while it's limited to a single "layer" it's still faster when doing routine tasks on the phone (music,maps, notes, internet).

Again, phones seem to be the forerunner for these concepts to be implemented, since AI is creeping in quickly - I haven't really found a great use case, but maybe actually listening to the sales pitches; "create a calendar note", "compose short message of ETA" could be something that can accelerate the day to day, maybe even run locally on the phone or computer?

For coding, AI acceleration is great. Sometimes you just want something that fills in a gap and can be replaced later. It doesn't replace the need for critical thinking in system architecture design but it's a great accelerator for prototyping.

This ain't it Chief

Isn't that falsifying legal documents? In many countries that would land you in jail? Am I wrong, did the people really run that risk?

I guess the buyer qualifies for a refund, I wonder if they would even want the device back

That's actually very nice, one of the few Microsoft programs that I genuinely miss - layers are a quality of life feature that is actually really nice to have 👍

Gemini is not fully available in Europe yet

It was called Remote Desktop before, but some security problems, and the fact you can connect to a program running on a server (rather than the whole OS interface) .. Made them rename it, most of the tech is still the same though and most guides still apply to it.

Come to think of it, I seem to remember that the connect to an app, rather than desktop functionality was available in Windows Server 2012, so renaming it now is a delayed response at best.

Thats an interesting point, hadnt thought about that. Its probably the start page youd have to change.. i know you can do it on desktop...

Security and software updates

The same button is also there in stock Firefox. Im not sure what the OP was on about

Yeah sorry I was assuming it was a mistake

I dont use iPhone but my mom does . Are you saying that AirPods can be used as a "receiver" and play music through Jack?

How do you go about that, are you charging them constantly? Is it the box or the ear thing that has the output?
