Retrospective from a month with the #Zenfone 11 Ultra:
I'm now officially a fan of the Zenfone. It hits a certain sweet spot for me between the headphone jack, UI, camera, and battery life. It's the direction #Samsung should have gone.
I don't like the larger size more than the size of the 9/10, but it is roughly the same size of my previous Samsung Galaxy Plus, so I can definitely live with it.
Was möchte man denn für Notizen verwenden, wenn man diese auf #Linux, #Android oder #Windows erstellen und bearbeiten möchte. Verteilt auf verschiedene Geräte sollen diese über #Syncthing werden.

HUGE NEWS on the podcast this week! Tune in live to see what it is or listen/watch as soon as you can! That plus our Google I/O preview, the Pixel 8A launch and more!
Yup. Digging that Bay Blue on the Pixel 8A.
Looks like we have a decent mid-ranger for North America. A LOT of the perks of owning the nicer Pixel 8, but at a lower price and the compromises don't seem extreme.
Should be a great daily communicator device.
Can you recommend a good open source podcasts app for Android? Google Podcasts is shutting down soon, and I don't think I want listen to podcasts on YT Music
@itsfoss#Onionshare is GREAT! Not fast, but secure and protects privacy very good! Also supports ANY important platforms like #LINUX#ANDROID#IOS#MAC CR#APPLE :underheart:

Luckily the web based version still works, but I can’t install the app on my phone so I can’t get push notifications anymore. 😞
I really liked how simple and straightforward the app was, and how it wasn’t trying to up-sell anything besides its core competency of tracking and notifying about packages.
I came across this article the other day, titled “Why Rust cannot replace C++”.
I feel that the author completely fails to understand the opposing argument. The article claims that with “new” C++ features like smart pointers, you can write safe code in C++, therefore Rust is unnecessary.
But I don’t want a language where I can write safe code, I want a language where I must write safe code.
It's baffling to me that most people are willing to suffer all the craptitude that runs by default on Android. I had to skip and disable at least a dozen services and apps immediately after the first run setup. It's gross and I don't like it.
New review time, as I test out the highly affordable Aspera Nitro 2. The pitch is that it can replace older 3G-only phones... but is it worth catching?
Replay Crew! We had a fun romp through tech headlines this week! https://somegadgetguy.com/b/44j
Jack Dorsey is no longer on the board of BlueSky. We're wrapping up the closing arguments in Google's anti-trust case. The Rabbit R1 is an app. Sony's marketing materials for the next XPERIA leak.
And we should probably chat about this next iPad thing-y...
