Germany too

Kagi is very very nice but at $10 a month it is too expensive for my uses. DuckDuckGo is my alternative when my Kagi subscription of one month runs out.

I have a Keychron K2 with some retro looking keycaps and blue switches. I don’t know for sure how it compares to the K7 though.

It’s a really great keyboard, solidly built, not too heavy, nice sounding and even nicer to type on. The battery holds up pretty well, I rarely have to charge it.

I don’t carry it around but it is pretty portable.

The only thing I‘m missing from my original MacBooks keyboard is the little globe button on the bottom left for emojis, special characters and such. But this is mapped to another key combination so all is well. And it is pretty high, you might need a wrist rest for very long typing sessions. In my usecase (gaming and a few hours of uni a day) I don’t struggle with this.

It is connected via bluetooth with up to three devices at a time and you can swap between them via a keyboard shortcut. It has a switch for MacOS/iOS and Windows/Android so swapping between devices is almost seamless.

There is no software for it afaik. For me thats a plus (less bloatware on my devices), but if you want highly customized lighting or super elaborate custom behavior, it might be a minus.

Overall this is a great little keyboard, especially considering that I got mine on sale for 50 or 60€.

If you have problems starting the EA laucher (a blank EA launcher colored screen and crashing back to the desktop / your library) this is your fix:

If the game itself doesn’t start, I don’t know how to help, sorry.

Edit: Let the program do its thing before you do anything else. Some steps require some time to be finished.

Sorry for wording my comment so weirdly. I just had to look up some phone’s names, since I‘m kinda put of the loop with the new models.

A Samsung Fold like phone I get. It is, like you said, a phone when folded and a tablet when unfolded. I see that being useful.

A phone in the style of a Samsung Flip I don’t get. That’s what I meant with the normal size when unfolded and small, thick square when folded part. It has a tiny screen when folded that barely seems usable. It seems like you get all the faults and none of the benefits with this design.

Excuse my poor wording again.

Thanks for the thorough reply!

The bigger screen aspect seems very nice indeed. I just would be too scared to use it like a regular phone. Wouldn’t something that scratches a regular glass display absolutely shred the plastic screen on a foldable?

What I still don’t get at is the normal sized phone when open that closes to a thicker square. This seems kinda gimmicky to me. One doesn’t get the benefit of the tablet sized screen and you have a bulky think in your pocket that you can barely use when not opened.

May I ask why? I would be scared 24/7 to break my phone with my fingernails or something because the screens are so fragile.

I bought AirPods Max from Amazon used and they were still tied to the previous owner.

Even though I send receipts and everything to Apple, they said they cannot remove the connection to the previous owner’s account.

Just to keep this in mind, what you said might not work every time.

It should be really telling that you can’t find anything positive about cigarettes online, even when you specifically search for positive aspects.

They cause cancer and you smell disgusting after smoking them. Just listen to your girlfriend on this.

I’d love to get away from Chromium based browsers. At the moment I am using Brave.

Is there any other browser that works on and syncs between: MacOS, iPhone / iPad AND Windows? It also has to have adblock capabilities on all of the devices. FireFox with uBlock Origin would be my first choice but afaik you can’t block ads on iPad / iPhone on it.

Any recommendations?

I can vouch for the iPad + Apple Pencil + GoodNotes combo. I‘m using this multiple hours a day for university. The iPad also would be the most versatile device for watching a movie, playing a game etc.

You can also get other tablets but in my experience the writing experience isn’t as good as the iPad.

If you want to do mostly reading, an e-ink display will be nicer on the eyes, but you loose general functionality.

Thanks a lot! My lens was doing all the hard work for me here.
