  • This calculator app maybe I use it for nostalgia’s sake but I’ve had it on every android for the past 10+ years. It works great, launches instantly, and the ads were never more than a small banner at the top. I did buy the ad free version but it’s $2, no subscription or any bullshit, just a straight and honest scientific calculator.

    Maybe not underrated because everyone should already be using it but KDE connect is a life changing app. So much functionality packed into a lightweight package. Just having a shared clipboard between my phone and laptop has been such a time saver every single day. If you don’t already have it, you should.


  • Hydrogen fuel cells are genuinely better than lithium powered EVs.

    I’m not trying to say toyota is a “good” brand, but your reasoning makes no sense. I’m pretty sure Honda was the one who invested most into fuel cells, the clarity FCX came out way back in 2008, and they are still doing development on a new CRV. Not to mention Hyundai also has a hydrogen fuel cell EV, this is not a bad investment by anyone.

    Like do you think Toyota was lobbying because they were investing billions into hydrogen EVs, or maybe it was the hundreds of billions they’ve spent over a lifetime making ICE engines, transmissions, belts, brakes, and everything else.

    Hydrogen EVs main problem is fuel production and transportation, there is no way around that. But in terms of pollution during production, hydrogen fuel cells are a fraction of the impact that a shortly lived lithium pack will have. Not to mention you can recycle some gas powered cars by making hydrogen combustion engines, no new production is the best kind of emission reduction.
