I still use Android, because... pretty much the only viable options for smartphone OSes are Android and iOS. There are plenty dozens of phones running Android: Samsung, LG, Xiaomi, Huawei, etc. And for iOS, well you only have iPhone. I&#x27

My major subject in highschool (2001-2004) was science. Now I work as a software developer. Yes I admit my physics knowledge is already rusty, and would like to refresh it. On a glance, The Feynman Lectures looks pretty doable...

Android Studio runs fine on my laptop (only with 8 GB RAM). And I don't use emulators, though. Just straight run the code directly on the devices.

Digital Leica Ms are a kinda... pricey. For digital mirrorless cameras, personally I'll pick a Fuji or a Sony. But for film? Yes I'll go for a Leica M. M3/M4/M6 :)

Hasselblad is nice, and fortunately not that expensive these days (probably Leica gears are still costlier :p ) If you are looking for the ultimate medium format system camera, the obvious answer is Fuji GX680. It's waay bigger than th

Well, never estimate the power of "hobby". When announcing Linux 27 years ago, Torvalds said "just a hobby, won't be big and professional like gnu". Now name any device and probably someone has ported Linux to it. I
