I heard the term "Sloperator" a few times. Quite fitting...

There should be a category: "Background Check" in the Android developer options. You can pretty finely tune or alter the automatically set priorities and permissions for background activity there.

I don't know exactly what the option is called but since Android 8 there is at least a toggle there per app. Later versions have lots more settings.

Combined with the factoid it features under "how is this calculated":

    However, most native speakers have an active vocabulary between 15,000 and 35,000 words.

Getting "Obfuscate" as #99 and "Quixotic" as #100 made me feel exorbitantly smart.

I really like Betterbird. It's basically ESR Thunderbird + a few fixes.

If you want mail to just work and updates going smoothly it's the solution.

Probably a cache thing. Win11 precaches a lot of stuff if you hover over it or have excess RAM. It's not as smart as SuperFetch and ReadyBoost (with an HDD) was but it's still doing similar things.

Microsoft has AppLocker (since Win7, I think). If you give it a curated whitelist it's actually quite alright and manages well via GPO. (until you manage to lock yourself out ;) Much less overhead than any 3rd party tool that hooks the kernel.

Connect Keyboard, Press PgDn.

Or what I actually use for ssh on the road: https://github.com/klausw/hackerskeyboard

Google kicked it from their store because it still supports older Androids but it still works just fine on the latest versions. It's on F-Droid.

I still prefer my Magic 8 Ball, it's less exhausting. But this is pretty cool.

Agreed, I don't want to miss my 24" 16:10 displays. They are just standard IPS though but enough for work.

Still on X11. OBS just works.

Also still on X11 because of xorgxrdp and X11 forwarding.

It would be cool to see this test with a CRT connected to a VGA port (adapters make it slower) and a PS/2 input device.
