2023-10-102023-10-10 Danie
DXOMARK camera score of 154 shown, and 2nd ranking position in global rankings

We do need to keep in mind that the iPhone is overall a very quality piece of phone hardware (although I’m no fan of their restrictive OS philosophy), and also that this is a pure […]

Start Making Physical Photo Albums: Digital Memories Are Too Easily Lost

2023-10-092023-10-09 Danie
View of a photo album page, with yellow background, and the title "Venice" at the top left with a sticker of a plane next t o it. Four photos on the page depict scenes in Venice such as two moored gondoliers, the top of Basilica di San Marco, some street lights, and whole lot of typically Venetian masks.

The linked article really focusses on physically printing photos and sticking them in an album. But I’ve actually found printed Photo Books to work very well. They do achieve the same purpose of sitting around […]

Put on a Mask and Fight Spam with SpamCop instead of just Deleting It

2023-10-082023-10-08 Danie
SpamCop reporting page where it has spaces to fill in your name, paste the header in of the spam e-mail, and a button labelled Process Spam.

What is the first thing you do after receiving spam email? If you are like most people, it probably goes like this: The above approach, however, does not solve, but merely hides the problem — […]

Warehouse is a neat Flatpak tool to show additional useful info about Flatpak apps

2023-10-082023-10-08 Danie
An application screen listing various Flatpak apps installed on a system, with a popup screen in the foreground showing more detailed info for a selected app, such as User data location, Name, Description, App ID, Version, Branch, Arch and Origin.

Quickly see info for installed Flatpak apps and runtimes (runtimes are hidden by default, but there’s a toggle to display them). It displays the same detail as the flatpak list command but in a GUI, […]

Just what is Tone, in a Microphone?

2023-10-062023-10-06 Danie
Person sitting with a guitar on their lap, and a hand poised strumming the strings. In front is a microphone made with a blue and white soda can.

He’s coming to this from the viewpoint of a musician rather than an engineer, but his methodology is not diminished by this. He’s putting each mic on test in front of the same speaker at […]

The Galaxy SmartTag2 is here with big improvements but still only limited to Samsung devices

2023-10-052023-10-05 Danie
Four smarttag tracker devices with holes for keyrings. Two are white, and two are black. One has a key attached to it, another has a miniature suitcase attached, another a miniature blue car, and the last one has a miniature green bicycle attached.

I’m wanting to replace my four Apple AirTags, since moving back to Android, so I’m closely watching developments around these tracker devices. But rather than buy something that requires a finder to, by chance, have […]

The Wavacity project by Adam Hilss is a fork of the original Audacity. It looks and feels just like an older version of Audacity (specifically, 3.0.0). But the trick here is that he’s managed to […]
