I post:
So my beloved iPhone SE 2020 has a failing battery. I've been going back and forth on whether to get the battery replaced or upgrade. Just snagged a very gently used SE 2022 for not much more than a battery replacement woulda been. I get to keep the home button for a while longer.
This dude drops in to say: Upgrade to a real android phone
I reply:

Me: "I bought a cheap phone that has the features that I want."

You: "Now buy a different phone that I like better."

Like, what's your game plan here, dude?

He responds: Trying to help you make a better decision this time.

I advise:
I'll return the favor: Next time you get the impulse to drop into somebody's mentions and tell them that they should have done something else because you have different preferences, don't. That will be a better decision.

In the spirit of helping everyone make better decisions, this dude finishes with: Sure. GFY

Running for Congress on a platform of sneaking into Polymarket HQ and unplugging all their stuff. Overflow crowds at a local Knights of Columbus hall roar with delight as I promise to pour Florida's Natural Grapefruit Juice (with pulp) into the USB-C port of every computer in the damn place.

Given how often this has been happening lately, running own git repository again is sounding better and better.

You're in luck if you have an android phone! There's a launcher with the look and feel of windows phone. It's been my daily driver for years now.

โ–ฒ Nearby Glasses

Smart Glasses are probably nearby
Device: Unknown
RSSI: -42 dBm
Reason: Meta Company ID (0x058E)
Company: Meta Platforms, Inc.

This app notifies you when smart glasses are nearby. It uses company identificators in the Bluetooth data sent out by these. Therefore, there likely are false positives (e.g. from VR headsets). Hence, please proceed with caution when approaching a person nearby wearing glasses. They might just be regular glasses, despite this app's warning.

I made an app.

Nearby Glasses is here to warn you when smart glasses are nearby.

I hope it's useful for someone.

Nearby Glasses's open source, free and rather simple
github.com/yjeanrenaud/...

It's also downloadable outside the Play Store. iOS port is in the making
