Play a clone of Tetris

Tetris has suggested efficacy in attenuating development or severity of trauma and it seems to have a beneficial ongoing cognitive effect also.

Don’t get Tetris™️, get a good paid version that lets you buy it and doesn’t show ads or track you after buying.

    PhyPhox app. Let’s you access every physical sensor your android device SoC has access to (at least for most major manufacturers). Especially on high end phones, they include a huge array of sensors from accelerometers to magnetometers to high accuracy air pressure barometers. Plus it includes a lot of processed sensor outputs, like rudimentary range finding sonar, audio frequency spectrums, etc… And it’s free!

    I assume this is pretty basic for people on Lemmy, where you can’t throw a rock without hitting a couple of programmers and Linux nerds, but I always feel so cool using Termux to SSH into my laptop that I use to self-host a couple of things. Makes me feel like a 1337hax0r person.

    I like JustWatch because it lets you search all your streaming services at once. If you set up a (free) account, you can limit it to just the streaming services you have personally. Handy as hell.

      I find it cumbersome to ensure they stay charged. I already have to manage that with my phone and this way I can use it whenever the occasion arises. It does feel nicer tactile-wise tho with a gameboy

      Edit: have a DS

          If you want the best of all three worlds, Lemuroid is an emulator based on Libretro, it can emulate a ton of different platforms including Gameboy. It’s free & open-source, unlike MyBoy.

        have a DS

        Then you have everything, even the good battery life to don’t make this an issue at all.

        (I’m very biased for this handheld, which I use even more than my Switch and PS4).

    I use the desktop mode of my phone when I want to multitask my laziness in multiple windows simultaneously. I can YouTube using vanced, scroll through Lemmy and read manga.

    I’ve been playing around with Super Image more and more. Recently I used it to upscale some Ghibli stills so I could use them as wallpapers. It’s so neat to me that I can do it all offline, with the power of my own device.

    You can turn an old phone or laptop into a wifi extender.

    You can use an old iPhone to get iMessage working on an android.

    If you attach a lens to it you can use your phone as a binocular

    You can use your phone to scan a document and turn it into a digital file.

    You can use it to make a signature, upload to computer to make a legally binding e-signature (the security of this is ambiguous, do at your own risk).

    Theres probably an app somewhere to use it as a trackpad (if not can somebody please do this).

    I’m pretty sure there’s an app to use it as a secondary monitor for your PC or laptop

    If you ever repair or fix things, take pictures at various points to have a reference to how it comes back together.

    It you ever need to remember anything just take a picture. (Use this all the time at work for stocking things, take a picture of its location address, walk down the warehouse etc)

    I think there’s an app to use it as an angle gauge by tilting it. Used for hanging pictures and stuff.

    Probably a pair of calipers with the right app and calibration.

    You can get a “remote controlled button presser and switch flicker”. You attach it to a light switch or anything else to remotely activate it. Great for turning on and off a space heater or computer.

    Use an old one as a remotely viewable security camera, with battery.

    Pierce the battery to make a fire (can only be used once)

    That’s about all I can think of right now

    I… I do distro hopping with my phone (custom roms/open bootloader) I know there are huge ass communities for that, but at least I don’t know anyone who bothers with this in person lol.

    That comes with flashing modules and stuff, because no root, no fun.

    I also play Dragon Ball Z Budokai Tenkaichi 4 (no bait), I am talking about a fan game made for PS2, I use Aethersx2 and I think I should be using Nether…

    I manage my Synology NAS and docker stuff from here, apps like Androtrainer and nzb360 are good for this, aside the usual Synology utilities, also I control my Nvidia Shield TV with the official app… And talking about that I would never understand why people bother with apps such as “Downloader” I always find better easier and have more control when I download the apk or whatever I want to put in the Shield and share it form my phone through SMB (in this case X-Plore) or even from my MacBook Pro… I mean, I could take it for devices such as Chromecast with Google TV which don’t have SMB by default…

    All sorts but less so now I use a hardened ROM apposed to a rootable ROM. I mostly use it for media consumption, like spotube, invidious.

    kore over wireguard to control kodi in a relatives house.

    Kde connect is just awesome too and also works over wireguard

    Voice recorder for meetings to recap later.

    You can also use WiFi and Bluetooth to see what devices are nearby.
