If you manage to hijack an airplane using a credit card sized multitool, honestly you should be given that plane and a medal.

Probably DeviantOllam. The man's a legend.

Unfortunately most use Libby/Overdrive which puts DRM on the books and only lets you read through their clunky app or kindle.

Fairly certain these can't be done on iPhone but correct me if I'm wrong:

  • Multi window/split screen -AFAIK you can only do this on iPad
  • custom home screen/launcher: the icons on a grid both bores and overwhelms me, so I use a minimalist launcher with a few shortcuts and app drawer for the rest
  • removable SD card. Sure, storage is getting better on phones, but the ability to pop a 2TB micro SD in my phone and keep offline copies of whatever I like for times I have no service is absolutely crucial to me (SD slot depends on what phone you have ofc, some manufacturers ditched it)
  • home screen widgets
  • notifications are superior on android
  • USB 3.0 speed data transfer with no additional software, to any device that can accept a USB stick
  • third party apps and app stores
  • being able to install apps I develop for my own personal use without paying for a developer account, having to list it on the store, or having to reinstall it every few weeks
  • ability to run Firefox with extensions
  • multiple accounts for the same app without needing to log in and out
  • USB OTG
  • game emulators
  • can safely browse tor

Depending on what model and manufacturer you go with,

  • reverse wireless charging
  • headphone jack
  • ip68 rating
  • call screening
  • dual sim

There's good deals on lenovo m900s or dell optiplex that are great for this. New enough to have low idle wattage and decent performance for VMs and containers, and old enough that they're cheap.

Sure, until the VC firm that bought overdrive (backend for Libby) decides to run it into the ground even further. Z-lib and MAM all the way. Can't sell my reading habits if they don't collect my reading habits.

I watched an over the air TV show recently, and they rolled an ozempic ad every single break. I would rather watch an hour of the save the children or ASPCA ads to be honest.

Be thankful you don't have the drug ads. They're an infestation down here. The companies advertise the crap out of a drug that costs the patient 3-4k+/mo, it enters the doctors subconscious so they're more likely to recommend to the patients, pharma company makes bank, the lawsuits roll in right around the time the copyright on the brand name ends (they're all shit drugs and barely more effective than placebo, yet with knarly side effects), they close it down and let the generic manufacturers fight it out while they pump the next shit pill or shot. Rinse and repeat.

Sports betting needs to go too, but I bet they'll just move those into shows like big tobacco did.

Indeed. Everything is stored in plain markdown files you can move around and edit elsewhere. I'd like to use a FOSS alternative when I can, but second best is something I can easily jump ship from and not lose data.

you're on windows, get sharex. It's miles ahead of anything else. It's the only thing I miss from daily driving windows.
