Recently bought a g84 - it has SD card or Dual Sim capability, along with a headphone jack and stereo speakers. For a $AU350 device it's pretty good - only thing I miss is a telephoto lens.

 

G'day :)

Just a query. I use both WhatsApp and Messenger via the PWAs for Firefox extension. Both offer to install their own native apps on Windows, but I don't trust that this is safe since I assume they could then monitor anything else going on on my computer.

Would that be a fair assumption?

I admin our small town's most active Facebook group, so I have to hang around for that.

WhatsApp for tech support.

Now I'm a bit sad. A part of my childhood has died. bash.org.

I know there was one where someone was typing on IRC while driving his truck, and ends his quote with "fuck just rear ended a lady" but no way to find that quote directly now.

That was years ago, before smart phones I think.

Nice. Mine runs on top of the fish tank on an old netbook. What sort of tablet?

 

Have been using this for occasional outside broadcasts. It stopped working today. Downgrading to version 7.0.4 fixed it for now. Unfortunately Rustdesk doesn't support reverse tunnels so I'll have to hunt for an alternative method.

Johnny Castaway can live on at least.

My 2014 Toshiba i7 still chugs along. Technically it's two laptops in one as the first one if it was rebooted while hot the GPU would go all 1024x768 in the top left corner. The replacement mainboard I got ended up being an AMD one but if I enable the AMD chip in device manager it simply dies so it uses the onboard Intel HD graphics instead.

1GB SSD, plus 2GB HDD in an optical bay adapter.

It's on its third battery - works for about an hour but jumps to 7% within a minute of running on battery, so if I put it to sleep etc it won't go again without power.

Most likely it won't work as very few websites will work with XP's level of SSL security these days.

Love my Tinkercad. So simple.

MP3DirectCut - https://mpesch3.de/ - might also suit. I use it a lot for community radio stuff as it doesn't have to pre-load the entire file, making extracting interviews from the MP3 log files a very quick process. Cue the file, B for begin, N for end, File, Save selection, done.

 

Finally migrated back to Firefox today after a multi year user of Chrome.

What pushed me over the edge? Most of my app icons (keep, pulse, calender, whatsapp) stopped opening in their own windows again.

I had to install the PWA extension in Firefox to get that working again, and it's going to be a slight hassle having to copy and paste URLs from all those windows, but I'm tired of fixing the task bar icons.

Could've gone to Edge since it would work out of the box, but I like Firefox. (except for no native PWA support.)

Edit: found I can right click links in the PWA instances and use the send to other device option to open them in my main Firefox window.
