#Samsung Desktop Experience

[toudan]

Fonts not showing on devices is so annoyingggg my phone isn't even that old 😭😭😭 fucks sake

[clownshifting]

hope you guys know that your favorite dumbass shifter uses tumblr like an old person on a dumb phone

i use Samsung internet because it gives me desktop vibes for mobile, my zoom is on 50% and my text is like 135% on all webpages to stimulate the fucked up desktop on mobile experience without messing up my screen

YES and it's better for my eyes because im farsighted and I cant deal with things being so zoomed in yes im turning 30 next month/ hj

[pomrania]

Okay. Let's see if I can get some help with this, now that I'm not venting.

I have:

a Samsung Galaxy Tab A tablet I bought second-hand, that had been factory-reset

the case, stylus, and charger-thingy which the above came with

a google account

a laptop I'm accessing the internet on, plus the wifi password

calmed down since last night

figured out how to turn the tablet on, and how to shut it down

apparently connected my google account to that tablet

I do not have:

a phone that can receive text messages

a Samsung account

experience with tablets or smartphones

coping methods that let me work THROUGH frustration instead of just stepping away from the problem and only coming back when I feel better (it's low priority compared to the other things I work on with my therapist)

easy access to someone in-person who can explain things to me

Desired end goal:

my mother (whose current internet access is only via desktop computer) is able to access the internet and not be bored when she's stuck in bed

my mother is not subjected to ad-ful browsing

my mother does not have access to my google account or any of my internet history

I can take pictures of my handicrafts, and share them online, without having to use the really old digital camera that's currently my only option

Assumed steps towards that end goal:

download Firefox on the tablet

download an ad-block for Firefox

log out of google and remove any synched information that remains on the tablet

figure out how the internet works on the tablet so I can show it to my mother (long covid means she likely won't be able to figure it out herself)

mess around with figuring out how the camera works

I’m trying to get a new drawing tablet! Do you recommend yours? Any pros and cons?

I use the Samsung Galaxy Tab 6 with pen, and it was the best investment for me personally. That fucker is 6 years old and still goes hard. Since you can use it in DEX mode, that thing looks basically like a little desktop. I suppose the only bad thing is that (with any other tablet) you are locked behind android, means you can't have procreate.

I believe even if it is not the newest model, you get your money worth. I bought it when it was new for around €600 , now you get it for €250 and below. Would definitely recommend.

If you mean a drawing tab without screen, I've used products from Wacom, which I had a great experience with too. Before I got the Samsung tab, I used the Wacom Intuos. Not up to date with Wacom, but I can only talk positively about them :)

Where the Android Tablet is today, and what it might become in a post chromebook world..

There has been a lot of discussion about Google, chromeOS, and the future on this Discord, and this post isn't about that. this post looks at the current state of Android Tablets where they can learn from chromeOS and also where Google might go with this..

To do this I've recently purchased the very large Samsung Galaxy Tab10 Ultra. this is a very big, premium tablet device from arguably one of the biggest Android device manufacturers on the planet. A company whom while the rest of the world forgot about android tablets, carried on and paved a solid lineup of Galaxy Tab products.

The purpose of purchasing this behemoth as two fold. firstly I like big tablets, big real-estate. I take a lot of photos, and having the bigger screen helps a lot editing and working with both photos and videos. The second reason was. Its about the sweet spot for a laptop screen as well. So with the Samsung Folio keyboard, there is a familiarity as a Chromebook user to all of this..

So lets cut to the chase, what has a week using this device to do work been like?

At times it felt just like being on a Chromebook, others its as frustrating as anything.. However its frustrating for the same reasons a Windows User would be frustrated going to a Mac (or Vice Versa). things are not available..

Lets start with the good…

Putting the Samsung Folio keyboard on this tablet, and sitting down at a desk, turning on Dex and working was, because i've been using chromeOS, a seamless experience in the most part. I'm used to the Android experience or the web app experience. The tablet is quick. I'm able to edit Insta360 Videos, or in Lightroom or VCSO.. I get Slack messages and apparently look good in Meet calls because the webcam is where it should be (top middle in landscape mode). the battery has lasted all day and I've been able to do what I need to do (DevOps, Ansible, Terraform, sysadmin stuff)

The processor is more than capable of having 15+ apps running, multiple tabs.. the screen is crystal clear, the speakers are good. However i'd expect all of this, its a premium product (RRP: £800ish) just as I would from a similar priced chromeOS tablet.

However I do think this is the case because of the tablets screen real-estate. personally i think if i had got the Galaxy tab10 plus with a smaller screen, I'd have felt much more constricted in what I was doing..

Compared to the Ipad Pro experience, this is no matter what any tech bro influencer will tell you a huge leap over said device. Being able to actually multi task and run apps (in dex) not full screen alone takes this to a level above the Apple product.

However then there is whats missing.. These as i inferred above are things i've noticed having used a Chromebook as my daily driver for the last 5+ years.

As a huge Linux user on Native platforms and chromeOS, i really missed the Chromebooks Linux shell. this is something I've seen Google are working on with android. Both the full debian runing on the OS with Icons aoppearing when you install Linux apps with GUI's (OnlyOffice for example) which launch independetly of the shell is not a feature to be sniffed at and IMO make the Chromebook one of the best entry level Linux devices available today. Whatever Google have done here, they need to replicate.

I'd also like to see the desktop version of the Chrome browser especially on the bigger scren, the android version of chrome is ok for most things, having the desktop version however should not be a huge leap of development to get this working.. with a huge highlight on PWAs which i use a lot on ChromeOS

Finally there is Dex, I have a love hate relationship over the years with Dex, and the classic version has been my workhorse for the last week. with a keyboard, mouse and external monitor this is more than a workable solution for checking email, slack, meet meetings and even some coding. All the time however i am thinking why not chromeOS?

Dex for its time was a great and groundbreaking idea, and interestingly is the last of many convergence tools over the years, and its always made we wonder why when i plug in a Pixel Phone/Tablet into a USB Hub with a monitor I don't get a ChromeOS like experience.

So what are my thoughts on chromeOS becoming Android based on using arguably the top tier Android experience as my sole PC for a week?

It boils for me into these areas

While ChromeOS will run fine on a 4Gb Arm chip for browsing the web and a few tasks. 8Gb is the minimum you need to start using it properly.. The same will be the same with any new android tablet, for this to work, the 8Gb equivalent needs to be the base hardware, same with processors and storage. Google will need as they did with chromebook Plus to set a minimum spec for these new devices day 1. Or they will cause a lot of market confusion and again get that chromeOS low power second screen device label that they have never shifted from the tech press narrative. This i think has only worked for me because of the premium experience, i think had i gone mid tier i'd have been writing something very different.

The interface and app experience is somewhat comparable, however if Google do put the desktop browser on android as has been suggested they may do, this will make a big difference. OneUI for all its haters, does do a good job of presenting a nice desktop above the Pixel equivalent. Its, dare i say it, more "windows like" and having that as an option interface wise would be a good thing.

Expanding on Interface, the experience presnted to the user of Dex when plugging into an external monitor and adding a keyboard/mouse is important, I would like to see Google work here on something which looks like chromeOS appear when i plug an (lets call it Android Plus) Android Plus device into a hub. a step above dex and a more Usable desktop. this provides huge value ad, and really starts to differentiate Android from Ipad Pro and (i think its called) stage manager. This starts to become an easy drop in replacement for schools, businesses etc while staying familiar and enterprise admins can still do thier thing.

And finally there are things which google should 100% be pulling over from ChromeOS, i think the whole material you type experience is better on chromeOS (although this might just be Samsungs OneUI), the Linux shell experience is another huge thing. Better PWA support and the inbuilt VPN support would be nice too.

All in all a space I'll be hugely interested in over the next few years, if google is serious about making a dent in that lucrative iPad/Pro market it needs to make changes and the convergence of the two OS might actually be the thing which takes the Android OS everyone gave up on on Tablets and the chromeOS only good as a second screen device and makes them the thing you guy to get stuff done..

Usability: Great RPG Mechanics #RPGMechanics: Week Nine

Continuing my week of meta-elements which make for great games, I want to talk about physical presentation. There’s a weird mix in my collection of ttrpgs. I have 8-9 shelves filled with physical books and way, way too many accumulated in my badly organized “rpg e-files” folder which has migrated across five different desktops. I’d say pdfs have become the majority at this point. I usually read those on a crappy Samsung tablet, mostly because I have a hard time reading large amounts of text on a screen. So pdfs work better than others– and I appreciate when the designers have thought about these elements. 

Printer-Friendly: I love it when a ttrpg has a printer friendly mode. This can take a couple of forms. Some games, like The Sprawl, have a day-mode and night-mode versions. When I first saw the Sprawl’s white text on black background, I didn’t like it. Eventually I found out that was a more comfortable approach for a lot of readers. But I appreciated that Hamish Cameron eventually released a version with standard black on white page design. Other games publishers in the last few years have begun to do this more and more. Star Trek Adventures includes that with the pdf purchase. 

The other version of printer/reader friendly is to have layers available in the pdf. This allows readers to turn off distracting page elements: paper textures, watermark art, intrusive page frames. This allows for easier printing, but frankly for me, it makes for easier reading. It just makes me unreasonably angry when I get a pdf with page backgrounds that make it harder for my old person's eyes and I can’t turn those off. Sometimes a pdf will have layers but turning off the backgrounds removes the text as well because they’ve merged the two together. The best games have layers, cleanly separated and cleanly labeled. 

Give Me Text: Some games in recent years have offered text-only versions, like The Veil. I love this. It is hugely useful and makes it more likely that I’m going to run that game. I run the majority of my ttrpgs online. Usually that means I’m putting together materials for the players: setting background, cheat sheets, and character keepers. Extracting text from pdfs is a pain, even with a good program. You almost always have to deal with the paragraph breaks and formatting. When a company provides the text, it makes my job significantly easier. If you want people to play your game online, outside of a set VTT package, include the text with the pdf. A lot of folks on itch.io know to do this. 

Accessibility: There are a couple of elements which I can’t speak to from experience, but I appreciate when I hear about publishers who spend the extra time getting these things right. My father was color blind and the few board games he played with us often had to be modified to make up for that. Some companies use online tools to check how their material works for the color blind. That’s important where color is used to mark out important information: particularly different colors to indicate different things. 

On the other hand, one complaint I’ve heard about certain books is that they’re particularly dyslexia-unfriendly. They choose fonts which look cool but become a pain to actually read for people with this condition. I know tools and resources exist for checking which fonts work better than others. Of course it isn’t just about fonts, but general typographic elements, size, background bits, etc. When I designed the earlier Gauntlet Community revised logos, I had input from a couple of folks who encouraged me to move clutter away from the words and remove some extra type flourishes. It looked better and became more useful as a result.

The Rise of AI Assistants: Transforming the Way We Work and Live

In recent years, the way we interact with technology has evolved dramatically, and at the heart of this transformation lies the AI assistant. Whether it’s managing daily schedules, answering complex questions, or even controlling smart home devices, AI assistants have become indispensable in our digital lives.

AI Assistant — ChatGPT, powered by OpenAI, is one of the most advanced conversational models in the world. It goes beyond basic tasks and brings in human-like interaction powered by machine learning. If you’re looking for an AI assistant free of cost and easily accessible, platforms like www.aiidiom.com offer just that — an intelligent, intuitive, and online AI experience.

What Is an AI Assistant?

An AI assistant is a software-powered virtual agent that uses artificial intelligence and natural language processing to understand and respond to user inputs. These assistants can be found in smartphones, desktops, web platforms, and even home appliances. The goal is simple: to help users get things done faster and more efficiently.

From AI assistant apps on mobile phones to web-based tools, they’re now embedded in how we live and work. Google, Samsung, and OpenAI are leading names in this domain, each offering AI tools that integrate deeply with their ecosystems.

AI Assistants Online: Your Smart Companion Anytime

One of the biggest advantages of modern AI is its online availability. An AI assistant online can be accessed from any device, anytime. This eliminates the need for downloads or installations. Whether you’re using a Google AI assistant on your phone or an OpenAI chatbot, you’re tapping into cloud-based intelligence that’s always improving.

Platforms like aiidiom.com are bringing this innovation to a broader audience. Their AI personal assistant is designed to offer real-time help, answer questions, generate ideas, and support users with everyday digital tasks — all with simple conversation.

AI Assistant Apps vs. Embedded Systems

While AI assistant apps provide flexibility and customization, embedded assistants — like Samsung AI assistants — are integrated into devices like smart TVs, smartphones, and appliances. The difference lies in the range of control and accessibility. For instance, Samsung’s Bixby can control your entire smart home, while ChatGPT-based AI assistants can handle everything from coding to content generation.

Choosing the right assistant depends on your needs. Want something creative and free to use? Try AI assistant — ChatGPT via platforms like AI Idiom. Need device-level control? Your in-built phone assistant might be better.

Why AI Idiom?

At AI Idiom, we believe that intelligent conversation should be accessible to everyone. Our AI assistant chatbot is powered by one of the most advanced AI models available today. It’s fast, smart, and ready to help with everything — from drafting an email to planning your next big idea.

Whether you’re exploring what is AI assistant technology for the first time or you’re a tech-savvy user looking for enhanced productivity, AI Idiom brings you the tools to stay ahead.

In this post, I explore Chinese street food and sample a variety of dishes to satisfy my love for Chinese cuisine. From potsticker dumplings to tea fields, I immersed myself in the flavors of China. I also visited some upscale restaurants to experience the full spectrum of Chinese dishes. During my visit to Hangzhou, I had the opportunity to take a Chinese tea tour and learn about traditional recipes from a local chef. Despite the quiet atmosphere in preparation for the G20 summit, I managed to discover some of the best street food and had a great time indulging in delicious meals. Here are the locations featured in the video for both street food and restaurants: 1) Hui Fei snacks - Hangzhou City Yucai Road 72) Longjing 3883) Grandma's Home Hangzhou cuisine - Grandmother (Lake Intime Cheng Branch) 4) Fat biscuits - Three - way 145 military secondary school entrance on the west side 5) Zhiweiguan (lakeside headquarters) - No. 83 Hangzhou City Renhe Road6) Tonglu pot head (Shengli River Branch) - Toro 249 Bay Lane Xia To capture my food adventures, I use a range of gear and resources, including a new 4K camera, various lenses, audio equipment, and editing tools.
