I also do the stick and twist method for opening them, but it always require new adhesive, so not a good solution. I also tried multiple 3d printed jigs for opening but those also didn't work very well

I have about 15 Aquara sensors in my house and had no real issues for the last ~3 years. Only real annoyance with the Aquara ones is that the battery opening mechanism has the worst piece of plastic I have ever seen. I still have not found a reliably way of opening those damn things without breaking the soft plastic. If anyone has found a way to do that I am all ears

I strongly prefer China having access to my personal data than the US.

And what makes you think that the US still has such a system?

Linux is pretty bad at handling out of memory. In my old thinkpad T14 with Mint everything came to a halt when webpack gobbled up my 16GB of ram. Couldnt even move the cursor, stuff just got stuck hard

Considering that I need a good dozen utility apps to override absolutely bonkers macOS design descicions there is no way around that.

I keep jearing this but after years of using MacOS Is still hate the windowing behavior. There is already a way for windowless apps to run - its in the top right corner of my menu bar. Why not use this if you _really_ need windowless apps to run in the background? Also dont get me started on window switching...

Exactly what you think - pops out a cup holder

They just announced the end of their fleet editor

But you only need to record your song once and get money forever. Nobody pays me per function invocation in production, that would be very nice

You can also install uBlock Origin on Edge for Android btw.

Edge for Android also has (limited) extension support. It only supports a subset of extensions, but I am using uBlock Origin (full version, although _lite_ is also available), Sponsorblock and Dark Reader for example.

I just unlocked the bootloader on my Xiaomi Mi Pad 5 today (which was a nightmare to do btw.). Why did I unlock it? The device has nice hardware, but is stuck with Android 13 and does not get any security updates either, so flashing a custom ROM is my only chance of having an up-to-date device.

Next step will be to try PostmarketOS and see how that goes

The cursor being captured when hovering buttons is the worst UI I've seen in a very long time

I honestly do not know if I have any screen that supports HDR. At least I've never noticed any improved image quality when viewing HDR video content and compare the image on my M3 Macbook Pro screen vs. an old external IPS monitor. Maybe my eyes are just broken?

Yeah but even if your app is the new Uber for dogs the goal should still be to let users accomplish their task as fast as possible and not some app engagement metric.

Its not always that easy. I specifically bought a Zenfone 9 due to its small size and unlockable bootloader. Guess what - Asus removed the bootloader unlock tool after I purchased the device. Can't trust anyone these days

The big difference for me is that there is no way to quickly jump between multiple windows of the same application. I often have multiple different projects open in vscode and would love a way to switch between them without having to right-click and selecting one from the list. All I want is something like the windows taskbar with auto-grouping disabled.

I just use an old macbook air with a bluetooth keyboard that also has a touchpad. The thing is in sleep mode when not needed, so it wakes up fast and does not need a lot of energy. With that setup I can access whatever media I want, have a solid adblocker and a browser with a real keyboard.

For comparison - I'm getting solid 120fps with Brave on Android.

Did you already check Garmin watches? They have great battery life and allow local data access via their FIT SDK [1].

You could also go down the DIY route and build one yourself. I did just that and am really happy with the outcome. Check out https://ben.akrin.com/plottybot for a great design and instructions

You can do just that on Steam with family sharing: https://store.steampowered.com/promotion/familysharing

You could also try the Bitmovin MP4 Inspector chrome extension: https://github.com/bitmovin/MP4Inspector

I have my password file on google drive. Works seamless between all my devices

There you go: https://github.com/hanneslinder/esp-pixel-matrix

As promised, here is the repo: https://github.com/hanneslinder/esp-pixel-matrix

As promised here is the source code, PCB Gerber file and the STEP files for the case: https://github.com/hanneslinder/esp-pixel-matrix

Hope you find it useful and don't be too harsh with the code quality as this was my first time writing C++ :)

I'm using this library: https://github.com/mrfaptastic/ESP32-HUB75-MatrixPanel-I2S-D...

And I'll add the pcb files to the repo, good idea!

Using a pictureframe is a cool idea! I actually have an 64x64 matrix in my drawer that I havent used yet. Should you decide to open source your code I'd be very interested too.

I'll update my comment tomorrow with a GitHub link, just need to tidy up the repo first. This was my very first time writing c++, so the code is probably not the cleanest ;)
