   If you combine native WebComponents with scss and JSX/TSX, it gets even better. As an example you could take a look at an older project on github: https://github.com/cyco/WebFun/ Here is some example code: h

    I still prefer my iPods to listen to music and audio books these days... Way less distraction and much more battery life :-) But I don't really think `Dumbphones` will ever make a real comeback... it's more like a specific niche,

    I use an old Asus RT-N56U for great (Gigabit) switching performance. Wifi is only N, and you have to be careful, there are two HW revisions, that are indistinguishable from the outside. An alternative could be different TP Link devices, but

    I prefer many different ways to look for a job but I try to prevent recruiters. Usually I don't look for "jobs" but for companies I would like to work for. If there is not a job offer, you can still apply spontaneously. I als

    This is also very useful on open source router OS distributions like OpenWRT. There is a fork for my Linksys 32X called "divested"[1] which uses this project to harden the kernel. [1]: https://divested.dev/

    My Opinion: If you have nothing too complex (like a "show information only" app consuming simple web apis), you could go for Avalonia UI, MAUI or Uno Platform - because you already know C#, but if you want to build something serio
