I use this app for scanning documents, I just tried sharing a picture to the app and running OCR on that picture, which also worked fine, so it should also fit your usecase.

Damn even though you explained the abbreviation I still read it as Wife Approval Factor for a second and was very confused

If you care to minimize Standby power “comfortably”, usually libraries or power companies will let you borrow an AC Power Meter free of charge.

You can use that to inspect your various devices Standby Power. For example I have an amplifier that pulls nearly 15W in standby, since finding out it lives on a smart plug.

However my TV pulls less than 1W, and at that point I prefer the convenience of just being able to use the remote to turn it on.

(Also keep in mind with the smart plug solution that the plug itself will pull a little bit of power too, this will pretty much always be <1W though.)

If your hate only goes towards touchscreens and not having physical buttons, Mazda is (or at least was) very anti-touchscreen. I haven’t done any research on their current stance or if they have good EVs, but a neighbor of mine was really happy with his Mazda ICE car for having a button for everything.

It’s not a full car or even entertainment system, but comma.ai is an opensource autonomous driving software. Last time I looked into this was a few years ago, but basically for most newer cars you can rip out the adaptive cruise control, and effevtively replace it with autonomous driving. Either powered by certain supported phones or dedicated hardware.

You could try getting a Raspberry Pi Zero together with some kind of SPDIF output card, but that will probably go over $30.

I have no idea what pricing is like, but you could possibly try getting a used Logitech Squeezebox player.

If you’re desperate to stay on the cheap and don’t mind BT quality, you could also install Snapcast on an old phone, enable the Snapcast player provider and then use the phone to connect to your speakers over Bluetooth.

Imo it looks to be very bloated for what I want. I don’t need (or necessarily want) a GPS track for the whole journey, but rather just start and endpoint. I intend to tell the distance from my cars odometer.

Also I already started making my own app by now anyway and I’m far too committed to consider other options lol

Hm using Tasker for this is actually a really good idea, thanks!

Yeah, I would just use Connected to Car BT?

I have so many ideas but so little time to properly look into Kotlin and Android dev :/

Some other ideas I had:

• maybe also track how much I pay for parking tickets
  • notification if I’m still not driving and my ticket is about to expire
  • ocr for parking tickets
• automatic prompt, something like Hey, you just drove x km and seem to have arrived, What do you want to call this trip?
• …

Under the hood it’s also way more similar: LibreOffice uses the odt format internally (and converts docx to it on the fly, sometimes leading to some formatting weirdness). OnlyOffice on the other hand uses docx internally, meaning better compatibility with MS Office (but also some weirdness with odt files).

(I’ve used docx and odt as placeholders for all the other formats here, like pptx, xlsx, etc.)

I presume your phone can’t enter deepsleep if it’s not in Standby. I’m not that knowledgeable on that topic but another point (that might be practically the same thing) is AFAIK your CPU and GPU can’t shutdown, as your phone is still on and rendering a black image.

Wait InnerTune is abandoned?? That’s a bummer, imo it is literally the best music app, especially the caching is amazing.

I really enjoyed Tetris (2023). The story was super riveting and I also really liked the soundtrack (mostly just “modernized” Tetris music).

The newer Sony Xperias sound like a good fit for you. I haven’t used one myself, but they’re pretty decent from what I can gather.

Also it seems as if Sony is the only phone manufacturer shipping flagships with headphone jacks and SD card slots.

On another note, I highly recommend the GSMarena Phone Finder for getting a general selection of phones that have the features you care about.

I absolutely loved Splatoon 2, especially the DLC. It’s such a shame that you have to pay for online battles though.

Here’s a similar question, my answer should also be relevant to your question.

As for Switch emulation, yuzu still runs great, with many playable games on the deck. If you don’t have the AppImage or Flatpak already, make sure to get it from a reputable source.

Edit: Or, if you’re lazy, just use Ryujinx (also available in EmuDeck).

HoleyLight sounds like what you’re searching for. I’ve never personally tried it though.

While I do mostly agree with your statement, it’s incredibly annoying when I type in a local IP for my router or server and it automatically gets turned into https.

It works fine for me, perhaps you didn’t grant the app Contacts permissions?

I got this a few days ago. Previously I was using Geometric Weather, but then in Feb or so it got stuck. I’m very happy that this app (or rather the fork) is now maintained again!
