I have a 6a and can’t wait to get rid of it. The cellular connections drops often and doesn’t reconnect without rebooting the phone, the GPS takes forerto figure out where I am making it very frustrating to use for navigation, and the fingerprint sensor doesn’t work great in the dark. Might give the s23 a shot next.
Thanks for this additional info. The “smallness” was something I was after with this phone, as well, but it definitely doesn’t feel as good in my hand as the s23. The pixel pro versions have some intriguing features, but they’re just too big for my liking.
It struck me that the political reason behind climate change, saving the planet and all is just so they don’t have to fix anything and can keep all the money instead of helping people.
I’ve always seen the upper peninsula as a rabbit so that took my brain extra long to process, but I’ll now try to view it as a monster eating Wisconsin
A friend of mine told me that when he worked at a grocery store as a teenager that he always liked being tasked with rounding up the grocery carts in the parking lot because he got to go outside and be by himself for a bit. I think about that a lot, but I also return my cart.
I’ve been using “Simple Markdown” when I don’t want to fire up Obsidian and it’s filled that gap well for me. It’s the one from William P. Brawner and it’s pretty stylistically neutral so might not fit your Material You vibe, but looks are subjective so who knows.
I would like to use my laptop for note taking in class, and use an android based e-ink tablet for handwriting and diagrams. What are your recommendations for delivering the tablet’s notes to the vault? Obsidian on the tablet with first party sync looks like a possibility. What about another app that can use SyncThing or...
I use Dropbox to sync between my tablet, phone, and laptop. Dropbox let’s you use three devices for free so I don’t pay anything for this solution and everything is backed up to Dropbox. My phone and tablet are both android devices so I use dropsync to actually do the syncing with Dropbox so that they can be accessed via Obsidian.
Their basic (free) plan only allows you to be signed in to 3 devices at a time. So, for example, if I were signed in on my home computer, work computer, and phone (via the Dropbox app), I wouldn’t be able to sign in on my tablet (via the app). I specify the app because I think you could still sign in via the browser and download files, but you wouldn’t be able to automatically sync files to the tablet.
The Dropbox docs say the basic account only gets 2GB, but when I look at my account it’s showing 3.2GB with 65% so I’m not sure what the actual number is. They kind of bury info about the free tier but you can visit the link below.
I was thinking of creating an anonymous ticketmaster account using public wifi since they block VPNs and just have them email me updates, but they required a phone number for the sign up so I scrapped that idea....
I just got a new Pixel 7a a few days ago. I specifically got that one to get the smallest of the bunch. It’s advertised as the smallest (and cheaper) model, phone size comparisons showed it to be indeed smaller than most competing devices and it’s even listed in some “best small phones” lists....
I’ve got the 6a, which I believe is very close to the 7a, and I have to agree that it really doesn’t feel nice in the hand. I broke out old s10e the other day which is similarly sized but feels so much nicer, and I was also at Best Buy the other day checking out the s23 and it also feels much much nicer than the pixel. So my next phone will probably be back to a galaxy.
I have heard good things about the zenfone line for a good smaller phone but haven’t had a chance to use the latest version.
