We're in that interim period where people don't understand the technology at all but still think it's capable of anything, so even people who absolutely should know better are going to be misusing it.

Best thing to do is use an external monitor. You can connect the phone via whatever USB interface it has - there are cheap USB to HDMI adapters on Amazon which should do the trick.

 

Due to their proximity to Earth, minimoons are prime candidates for exploration. Now, some scientists want to use these tiny satellites to push humanity further into the cosmos.

 

Swiss-Italian study finds MiniTouch can help people with amputations feel whether objects are hot, cold or in between

 

Researchers have created the first functional 3D-printed brain tissue that can develop and form connections in the same way as real human brain tissue.

 

The underground volcano near Grindavík has begun its third major eruption in three months, opening up a 2-mile-long fissure that is pumping out large amounts of lava and ash.

 

Lunar dust and a compound found in urine could be used to build future dwellings on the moon, a new study finds.

 

The workings of the ultrasonic warning sounds produced by the wings of a species of moth have been revealed by researchers at the University of Bristol.

 

The tool, unearthed in Central Europe, suggests that locals made devices for stringing together sturdy cords over 35,000 years ago, researchers say.

Yep, there was a time when streaming services actually became easier than piracy. That was when there was basically just Netflix and Hulu. If you had both of those, you had everything.

Honest question: why?

Type C headphones could easily be a thing (and are already). Then you just have the one port, which to me seems better.

Transparency: I'm someone who just uses Bluetooth headphones and I love them, so I have no real horse in this race. I just like not catching a cord on doorknobs anymore, lol

Wow, I wonder if this will impact Uranus in any way?

This is tech journalism now? Might as well have had ChatGPT write the article too...what a waste of time

Yep. On the grand scale it doesn't matter if this comment was pre-determined or if I genuinely made the free choice to write it. What matters is that, to me, the illusion of free will is complete. There is nothing other than my belief that I am free to affect my own existence.

As Rush once said, even if you choose not to decide, you still have made a choice.

Damn they won't make me magnetic? That would be useful, I could avoid dropping screws and bits every time I do a project.

Fusion, solid state batteries, room temp superconductors and general purpose AI in the same decade? What's going on?

This exact situation is why I eventually shut down access to my media server to only my household. I had the same setup for many years and it just got to be a clusterfuck of people messaging me that things were broken, not working how they wanted, need to have more features, aren't working fast enough, etc. I work in IT. I get enough of that when I'm clocked in, I don't need it at home too.

Good luck though, OP.

AudioBookShelf is awesome for audiobooks. I can't speak to its capability as an eReader but I thought I'd throw that out there for anyone wanting a second opinion. I use it daily and the Android app is great too. My go-to audiobook server for life if it stays just like it is right now.

I'll second Ubooquity. I have a lot of experience with this, as I've been self-hosting my eBooks and Audiobooks for many years now. Ubooquity is not perfect, but if you're willing to tinker with it, you can get it set up pretty nicely. There are themes, and the Plex theme actually makes it look really slick.

Kavita is the new kid on the block for me - I have been testing it out as a general-purpose eReader but I'm not ready to give it my recommendation yet.
