  • What can I do with my old-but-functional android smartphone?

    Jump

  • Media player with apps like media monkey

    Just be aware that Media Monkey has issues. It regularly swaps my track numbers for the play count, and has consistently lowered the volume of my tracks.

    I used the volume leveling function, and found out that it was decreasing the volume of all the tracks it had access to. Luckily the originals on the computer were unaffected

  • I do this by running a MagicMirror server on my media server, and Fully Kiosk browser on the phone / tablet. It's pretty handy in the kitchen, as we're all in there in the morning :)

  • Can you change your body temperature at will?

    Jump

  • It's a nice little party trick too. When iphones could first detect heart rates, some of my friends were talking about it, so I said that I could slow my heart rate down. None of them believed me, so I got them to measure it. Once it was done I asked them if they wanted it to be faster or slower. They still didn't believe me, so I did both.

    It's one of those silly little things that isn't really useful, but can shut your friends up for a bit :p

  • In your opinion, what is the best brand of cell phones in terms of quality and price today?

  • I know what you mean, there was something that changed. I can't remember exactly what happened either though. I just know that I can uninstall a lot of the apps that I couldn't before :)

  • I had something similar when I first set up the phone, but I disabled it along with most of the other junk. Apart from immediately after an update, I haven't seen it again. Even then it was easy to disable.

    I had an automatically installed games folder after the update too, and that was a bit trickier to remove, but it was just a case of finding it in the settings. I'm stuck with Facebook because of a music festival I'm involved with, but long pressing it and dragging it to the top of the homescreen gives me the option uninstall it. I don't know if it's an actual uninstall or just disabling it, but it looks legit

  • I've just switched to a Motorola from a Xiaomi, and I'm in the UK. The Xiaomi wouldn't let me uninstall quite a few apps. The Motorola is giving me the option at least

  • I use Firefox with Ublock Origin on Android, and if I watch youtube in the browser, it filters pretty much all ads. Sometimes I get one at the start of a video, but closing the tab and starting again has got rid of them so far 👍

  • What's your missed shot?

  • That's odd, I'm sure I remember taking Aurora photos of my house a few years ago, when the major storm hit the UK, but I can't find them anywhere 🤷🏼‍♂️

  • Ouch! That's a proper once in a lifetime shot too 😫

    I hope everyone was ok

    A Kingfisher is on my wishlist. There's a wetlands near me that apparently has a resident Kingfisher, but I've only ever seen it once, as it was flying off.

    What's your missed shot?

  • Would you rather have hundreds of millions of dollars and be acutely aware of all the bad things going on, or a meager yet sustainable life and completely ignorant of everything.

  • Define donate or give away.

    I've mentioned before that I help run a small music festival, and that it's to help my local area. Raising money for that is a lot of work and takes a lot of energy. Pumping some money in would massively help the festival, which would help me. Would that count as donating, or would it be selfish because it helps me?

    On a similar note, my area is quite poor. If I set up a factory with offices and other facilities that employed the low and unskilled workers at decent living wages, and included child care and employee training and education, would it still count as giving the money away if I made a profit, even if a small one?

    I would be a bit selfish though, I'd build a house and some outbuildings on a large plot of land and soundproof everything completely. I function better at night, but still want to fix up my motorbike and do some woodworking, and I don't want to wake the neighbours.

  • Are you doing something to fuck over "the powerful"? If so, what?

    Jump

  • I'm not sure how long they take off the top of my head, but I think it's quite quick. A lot of the apps only update once a month though, so it can feel like longer

  • To add to this, Street Complete and Every Door are great for getting started. They ask straightforward questions like what's the house number of this building, or does this bus stop have seating. If you can't answer a question you don't have to, you can just go back and answer a different question instead :)

  • On second thought, maybe not
