  • As a first time Samsung user (with OneUI 7. So I never had experience when they were very bad from what I heard), I like a few of their apps more than Google’s or other options tbh. Their Notes app is basically needed for handwriting notes using the stylus. I like their Calendar app more than Google’s, and it’s a toss between Fossify Calendar. Their Clock app is kind of amazing that I can make alarm groups that I can set to turn on or off based on a few conditions.

    Bixby and AI stuff though can fuck off. Turned it off immediately.



  • If you’d like to have a bit more control than just either turning on/off/hide classes of notifications as provided by Android, I recommend getting Buzzkill. There’s a few other apps that does this but I don’t remember their names.

    But basically the gist is that you can set rules for notifications by app basis, if-then arguments and a few other methods I didn’t touch on to control how notifications show. Batch them together every few hours. Block them from showing during certain time periods and/or days. Mute notifications for a few minutes when that one guy in the group chat that likes to send 1 sentence in 100 lines.

    I’m not sure if Buzzkill is open source or not; I can’t recall if I ever checked it.



  • Wear a big scarf … for guys or girls … a scarf comes in handy for all kinds of emergencies including using it as something to cover your mouth, dress a wound, tie something or cover something up.

    Everyone should look up what a shemagh is, and all multitude of uses it has. Pretty sure there are plenty of colors that aren’t tacticool, which is inevitable when you search for it. If it works for the grunts the US sent to the Middle East, and actual Middle Eastern cultures, it’ll work for you. Hitchhikers’ Guide to the Galaxy describes how useful it is to carry a towel across the galaxy; this is it.

    Edit: something more that I recalled of when I was in the prepper phase years ago: Marines swear on this thing called a woobie. It’s their safety blanket, figuratively and practically. It’s basically a quilted fabric liner under a poncho for insulation. Works just as well as blankets if you’re going to be crashing somewhere overnight.
