A lot of external drives are just internal devices with another controller and casing around. I had a 4TB I used with my laptop, and tore apart the casing and just plugged it into my desktop when I built one. Unless you start hammering the external case around, the drive will be fine.
The simplicity of Google Photos has me still rolling with that.
But for all my music, syncthing is the best. In my case it’s synced to my phone though, and also backuped up from that to the cloud.
Python, C#, Rust
Used a bit of C++ and Matlab, but saying I know them is a stretch really.
There used to be boxed ice cream with blueberry and egg yolk flavor. Loved it as a kid, got discontinued by the ice cream truck that had it. No replacement found. I probably won’t even like it since I have forgotten the taste at this point.
I don’t know what’s required for KLWP support in a launcher, but KLWP is a live wallpaper with touch interaction. Don’t know if stock support that on my phone. But some cool setup like media player functionality, time and such, in the font and size I want. And some other disguised shortcuts.
But for me in actual Nova, it being able to style app icons individually, swipe actions on app icons, and the dock at the bottom being able to slide to have more apps. And pretty standard now, but swipe up for app drawer and down for notifications. It works especially well with OnePlus gestures that I’m still holding on to.
I stopped auto updating the 3rd time my god damn app was force closed when using it. Either update for the app itself or damn webview. Been many years since then, so not sure if things changed but man it was frustrating having things just go poof in the middle of something.
It’s just the sum. Monitors have 8bit per color, making for 24bit per pixel, giving the millions mentioned. 16bit is actually 4bit per color and then another 4 for a single of those colors. But this has downsides as explained in the article when going form higher bit depth to lower.
HDR is 10bit per color, and upwards for extreme uses. So it’s sorta true they are 24 or 30 bit, but usually this isn’t how they are described. They normally talk about the bit depth of the individual color.
I love discord for small communities, not that I have that many I’m in though. But friend groups, and niche topics. Places where the chat generally is a single discussion or two at a single point in time. And the voice chat is superb. Just drop in and out is convenient.
But it sure as fuck doesn’t compete with what reddit and Lemmy is doing.
When I looked into it, it appeared uBlock origin already does what no script does when you turn on advanced mode and block 3rd party urls. (medium mode) Probably need to block first party to get quite there but that’s usually overkill.
Now sticking with medium mode, most sites need a bit of fixing like no script did, but it’s all done in uBlock.
Here’s a little article which highlights jxl well. https://chipsandcheese.com/2021/02/28/modern-data-compression-in-2021-part-2-the-battle-to-dethrone-jpeg-with-jpeg-xl-avif-and-webp/
I do not think it’s mentioned there, but I think webp and also it’s indirect successor avif afaik, both lack progressive loading which is not optimal for website loading. It’s has incremental loading which I think is akin the the old dial up time of loading top to bottom row for row. They proclaim progressive decoding is costly on memory and cpu, but progressive gives the best user experience imo.
Lastly a fringe issue, re-encooding multiple times. The good old reason why jpgs turn into trash over time because people encode instead of save images. Or because sites re-encode when uploading. Jxl wins here. It also is very easy to see why jpg turns into what it does rather quickly.

All of them are OK, except mkv is less a file type and more a container. What should be specified is the code for video, which for most things I’d say AV1, but high res movies might not be the most suitable. Throw in opus for the audio track, and you can use mkv, but might as well use webm anyways since it’s more clear what’s behind it. (though can still be other things)
I’d also add that jxl should be the standard for lossy images. Better than jpg. And you want something other than png for massive images because that quickly gets costly in terms of size due to png being lossless.
Probably not your problem, but my completely different phone (oneplus 7 pro)has been pretty solid. But, lint and dust gathered into the port, making some of the plugs extremely loose to the point it would fall out from the weight of the cable… I took a needle and scraped out the compacted lint at the bottom. (avoiding touching the middle thing in the port. Good as new afterwards, even the one cable I’ve been using with the phone since 2019 which is pretty loose after use now, still sits without problems when moving the phone around.
But I’d definitely suggest cleaning it out if you haven’t. Even the small specs you get out makes a big difference. My powerbank came wouldn’t stay in, after cleaning it’s more well behaved. But there’s a clear difference in USB-c plugs and how they fit phones.
I just mean, when you hold the phone you instinctively have your finger on the power button and audio button. That amount of force won’t press any down. But when you want change volume, you also press power button by accident. Instead, to avoid this i try to place my finger on the audio slider(ring, vibrate, silent slide, so not actually a button you press) that is above the power button. As that also forms a natural place to place your finger. At least with the case I’m using.
It doesn’t exactly prevent pressing volume when going for the power button though, so you have to be a bit aware of if you have the finger on the audio buttons. But for me, it most happens when I change volume, and not when using the power button.
I do this on my 7 pro. It’s a slight annoyance, but for my phone the trick is to condition myself to press on the volume switch above the power button instead, when I want to adjust the volume.
New car smell, it’s awful. Sort of stale plastic if I were to describe it.
Amplified by long trips on bad roads as kid. Guaranteed to make you feel like vomiting on some sections. Now when I anticipate/pack for a trip I tend to smell that again even though I’m not even in a car.
