the worst non-SI-unit is Farenheit how the fuck am I supposed to know that 40 is cold

ah fuck I hate how the Windows terminal freezes when you scroll and there's no indication of that

oh! in the Google calendar app, the redesign actually includes a dark mode… so why doesn't it in Gmail, or the Store?

long, quote from “the hitchhiker’s guide to the galaxy” by douglas adams, money/existential, Mood 

“This planet has—or rather had—a problem, which was this: most of the people living on it were unhappy for pretty much of the time. Many solutions were suggested for this problem, but most of these were largely concerned with the movements of small green pieces of paper, which is odd because on the whole it wasn’t the small green pieces of paper that were unhappy.”

someone nearby is selling this cool phone, sadly at a price I'd never pay for a curiosity

it's pretty though

oh yeah and Symbian has support for applications other than Java ME

Show thread

sneak preview: it has real proper multitasking and that works without any trouble even with the N-Gage games

Show thread

I should make a proper thread on how great Symbian is sometimes… though there's much better phones running Symbian I guess so maybe I need one of those too :D

Show thread

this phone is great, the Bluetooth file transfers get sorted in with the SMS and it just makes so much sense? I wish I could've used Symbian instead of the garbage that is Series 40 back when I had a Nokia phone

Show thread

you can thank @unascribed for this idea, I was long overdue to customize my N-Gage a little and luckily it receives images over Bluetooth from my actual phone without any problems

oh yeah also exporting from the notes app lowers the image resolution, so the scan is basically unusable afterwards, that's kinda annoying

Show thread

I wonder if scanners will slowly disappear now that we can literally just point phones at paper and get a decent quality document

Show thread

in general I'm impressed how well my phone camera works as a scanner, even though I ended up having to do the conversion to a greyscale print-ready file myself in Krita (more because I'm a perfectionist though)

My brother sent me a scan from his iPhone SE using the Notes app and the text is so soft, Apple why

Show thread

neat, the Snapseed "silhouette" filter is actually quite good at cleaning up black-and-white "scans" from programs like Office Lens

I wish it was more common for devices to support USB-OTG, like my eReader supporting USB keyboards
