It worked: Force connect to 2.4 GHz to set up smart device

Ok .. had to set up a eufy smart box. Have nest wifi mesh so can't separate the bands. Also have Google Pixel 6 Pro so can't force a connection there either.

Solution: use another phone to create a hotspot. This actually creates a 2.4 GHz SSID. I did but know this before but, I was getting desperate at this point.

Connected my phone to the hotspot. Connected with no issues to the eufy security app. I let it go through firmware updates.

And then panic set back in again. Because, now I am going...

Material You Themed Icon Directory | Now includes FOSS Apps!

I've just finished up adding a handful of new apps from F-Droid to my Material You Themed Icon list! This list includes tons of Android apps that implement a themed icon, separated into different publisher categories (Google, Samsung, Play Store, and 3rd Party).

Starting today, I've added the '3rd party' category that includes apps not on the Play Store, such as FOSS, Instander, ReVanced, and more.

Additionally, I'll be keeping an eye out for apps that add predictive back animations, and addin...

There's no 50mm lens on my smartphone. Why do they keep giving us more wide angle lenses and super zoom lenses?

Hi there. I noticed that a lot of people were expressing their distaste to the fact that the Pixel 4 had a telephoto second camera instead of an ultrawide, however I also see a lot of people talking about the 5x telephoto on the new Pixel 7 Pro.

I personally take a lot of portraits, and in day-to-day life I just use my smartphone, I don't bring my mirrorless camera with me everywhere since smartphone cameras are so good. However, as a Pixel 6 Pro user, I have to say that I think the 5x is the w...
