  • Fucking awesome phone. Been my daily driver for a week now.

    Typing is horrible, tough, and for anything serious (browsing, streaming…) you will want a bigger screen and general more build quality. Camera, sound quality, screen are all screaming low end.

    Super fast charging because the battery is tiny, sill good SOT because the screen is tiny too.

    Feels damn good to be able to use and hold your phone one handed in almost any orientation you can hold your arm in.

    Keyboard: AnySoftKey and a Compact layout (2 keys, 1 button) is very helpful.





  • Answering the question you meant to ask, blueray is a physica… just kidding.

    LocalSend is basically like bluetooth file sharing over WiFi. Bluetooth, especially the fallback 2.0 is notoriously slow and short ranged. The situation got better with BLE, 5.0 and Long Range. Still, both devices need to speak BT. Ap*le’s iOS is well known to ignore BT file sharing capabilities while implementing own proprietary solutions. On desktop, the situation is still bad. I once tried to send a file between two Windows machines via BT, and it was a horrible user experience. LocalSend (and similar) fix this by implementing cross platform apps and using readily available API’s to share files with few clicks and reasonably high speed between a plethora of devices. I guess, if you don’t have the aforementioned problems, you won’t need LocalSend et al.







  • Libertinus Serif (much nicer Times New Roman-ish serif text font. Huge amount of glyphs, open source font license, great to read on display and on print)

    Lato (Sans font which imo compliments Libertinus Serif really good. More for short texts, headlines etc. I wouldn’t recommend it as a UI font. Also permissive font license.)
