When I need to run multiple vms, work laptop is much stronger than personal laptop and there is usually no personal data related so sure. I've also used the only (work) iPhone I have for Apple related things, like using apple books, which is admittedly stupid but I consider anything I get from there single use either way and not particularly private either.

Pretty much yeah, it might have been the same motion as well

I can't find an image of it but the phone/watch concept shown in The Peripheral would be cool. Basically a touch screen that can be either flat and work like current smartphones or wrapped around your arm with the whole area being a screen (with a better interface than current smartwatches).

Dreams that feel like a creation

• Moving through some amazing scenery (waterfalls and the sea always look great) and knowing this is all part of your imagination.
• Trying food with really weird flavors that still taste great. I don't like food that much in real life.
• A specific type of dream where you experience the plot in 1st person but there is also a voice over that you kinda control, in the style of a book. It's a bit weird but became much more frequent after I started reading more. Anybody else get this?

Recommendations on YouTube are pretty bad but there is still good content. You just need to find some good channels and basically only browse the subscriptions tab. It's a much better experience

I don't know if you count the A series but most people I know buy that and not the S series, and that's usually much cheaper than a pixel. Also I feel like it's an unpopular opinion here but I really like OneUI and once you get used to it, it may not be convenient to change back to stock.

I recently found out about URLCheck. You set it as default browser and it gives you a popup when clicking on a link. You can preview, edit the link and open it with the app you want instead of automatically opening it in its default app. Especially useful for apps that don't give a link preview on text like my comment that hide the link address.

Ngl I've thought of doing that if it ever gets to >4 modes.

If the software allows it you can have a button that changes between mouse modes with different button mappings. Infinite buttons

It's certainly great for gaming. I didn't expect it would make things so much easier on everyday use as well.

A mouse with programmable keys on the side. It's so convenient combining control keys with mouse movements in one hand.

Is that uncommon? I also have a small box next to my bed for trapping bugs so that I can release them outside. Bonus points if it's transparent and you get to see them up close.

Not sure about languages but do headphone letters actually get translated? I've always seen them as L-R.

Honestly this is amazing. If only it wasn't so big...

It doesn't have to be a big emergency, FM can still be very useful. A few years ago there was an earthquake in my city that wasn't too big but we still had to evacuate the building. I don't remember any damage in my area but because everyone was trying to make calls there was ZERO cell service. So a bunch of people were gathered around my phone listening to a news station for updates because I was the only one who had brought headphones. Without FM this ability is now lost.

That's a good question, I'm not sure. I just make sure the file has the correct extension and it's opened with the correct app. I've never had an issue on android but I mostly download from the same site which seems to have good files (and always with adblock).

Specifically for books I pirate because I get a better product this way. I prefer reading on my phone and downloading an epub means I can open it in any app I want, add chapters and share it with whoever I want. If I could easily pay for a book and get the same experience without any drm or online account bullshit I would probably do it.

Physical books are also ok but buying anything not in my language means possibly waiting forever for it to arrive and paying more for transit costs. I may still do it if I really want to support the author but I'd rather have a way to pay them directly tbh.
