  • Some of my favourite mobile centric uses (I’m a FOSS leaning Android):

    • I like to try to ensure most things are available offline: maps, notes, passwords (manager also holds “emergency” documents), media, ebooks, podcasts etc
    • OsmAnd has offline Wiki articles, this is awesome when travelling
    • OsmAnd can be great for finding POI’s such as food outlets, toilets etc when travelling (I since extensively mapped my own locality to help visitors by way of thanks)
    • Using stuff I self host synced to various devices: Nextcloud, Joplin, Paperless-ngx, Immich, Jellyfin & a bunch of others
    • whoBIRD is great especially when travelling
    • If WiFi/data is unavailable when travelling away from home, hook the phone up to TV with a hub, HDMI, keyboard with track pad & it becomes a full media system

    • Randomly removes email addresses I use every day from the auto-complete forcing me to type them literally in full for weeks until it remembers them again.
    • A colleagues name starts “tom…” but it ALWAYS auto-completes with another colleague “tim…”. Every single time.
    • Search sucks. Not sure if this particular complaint is just our company setup but for some reason it hides stuff older than a given date “on the server” which means you have to remember exactly where stuff is & open the folder before it displays the contents rendering search pointless. Absolutely hopeless
