  • Everyone I’ve tried from the Play store feels too basic compared to Nova or their rating is too low because of bugs.

    Edit: in hindsight it looks like I’m a paid shill for Nova. This isn’t the case at all. I’ve been looking at launchers for the past few weeks as I recently realised I’ve had the same set up style for over a decade. I don’t want to be the person stuck in the past doing stuff the slower and archaic ways when there are newer and better ways of doing things. I currently have over 20 launchers installed on my phone and I’ve been slowly trying some.





  • I have a friend who’s in the computer repair business. He uses PNY drives because out of the hundreds he’s installed, he’s yet to see one come back with a faulty drive, unlike some of the other brands he’s tried like Kingston. He gets the base size and base speed drives as his customers tend not to use a lot of data.




  • When I searched for a cheap VPS I settled on IONOS’s XS package (this 1€/month). It’s one of the cheapest out there. Bonus is that it’s a company we all recognise and can reasonably trust. And there are no weird gimmicks either; it’s just straight forward.

    One thing missing from this XS package compared to their other packages from IONOS is that there is no resource monitor on their web panel, which can be useful if you don’t want to set up your own.


  • I think perfection is probably somewhere between dark and light themes. Light can frequently be too bright where it feels like you’re looking into the sun. And dark can be like working in literally the dark, and it’s sometimes too difficult to see the boundaries between objects. I think it would be cool if we had a sliding scale, where you can pick from several brightness levels.
