How can I see if my phone has an IR Blaster? 😁

@Riven Probably phones without headphone jacks are those that can no longer be used as regular FM radios - as the antenna was actually the headset (at least that's my experience) - and another reason why phones without the jack suck. Never had a phone with a built-in FM antenna FWIW.

But yea, I do get your point. Phones could do so much more than accessing Facebook, Instagram and posting photos there or something like that.

I want to settle on a browser independent bookmark solution. What do you suggest? ( libranet.de )

I got inspired by this article to look into such a solution. I tend to use different browsers on different devices, so using one browser vendor everywhere is not the solution. Main reasons are storage space available, device performance and basically general opinion about a certain browser or another, that might change or not. I...

@shortwavesurfer That would be cool, but if I was to make some quick saves for something I was looking for, this wouldn't be just as easy.

@shortwavesurfer Yea, indeed. Thank you for the suggestion!

@Blaze A colleague of mine had the M8. Man, what a great device! It had awesome cameras for that time and could even record videos in slow motion. Nowadays, I take this feature for granted for the last 3 phones I had, but at that time this just seemed revolutionary!

@shortwavesurfer Guess you're not paying your taxes then.

@shortwavesurfer There's no way you compare something as mundane as this to mass murder. And be sure that every country's government has all the means necessary to prosecute you for stuff like this, sooner or later.

Anyway, for me there are some useful such apps that I use:

  • One is for my city's public transit - really useful, it even displays the vehicle position in real time so you can make up your mind on your route.
  • One is for train tickets (you can also do related stuff as well, like check if your train is late).
  • One is to check if there are any breakdowns in the heat distribution system to see if I won't have heat overnight.

I'm sure as hell there are some others, but I did not need them so far. If the government was to spy on me, it could install some malware or some sort without resorting to the Play Store.

@shortwavesurfer That depends on which country you fill your taxes in.

@petrescatraian@libranet.de avatar

@shortwavesurfer Even when those taxes are going into the healthcare system?

petrescatraian ,
@petrescatraian@libranet.de avatar

@shortwavesurfer And they need taxes to authorize that. Makes perfect sense.

@maculata This racist take of yours has zero link to the news in question.

@maculata No, what you said is double-folded racist:

  1. It assumes all Roma people steal - which is not true, there are great people of Roma origin that contributed greatly to the society, but the situation this minority went through along the history put it more to the edge of the societies and made them more exposed to criminal activity.
  2. It assumes that all Romanian people are Roma people who steal and scam people - so, as a Romanian myself, thanks for making me a thief or a scammer I guess? :)
