This past week, however, I exclusively used Maps for my home-work commute because I was curious on how it was holding up against Waze at this time. I will break down what I thought about my experience.

Note: My experience is based solely on the Waze/Maps apps for the Pixel 7 phone (not Android Auto). I mostly drive in Portugal (Lisbon area). My phone's language is set to English (UK) ...

Tutorial: How to stop apps like Authy, Venmo etc. from being locked to portrait mode on Android tablets/foldables

One of the most annoying parts about using most Android tablets or foldables is being forced to flip the device over because an app doesn't support landscape mode. This is a big issue on the OPPO Find N2, for example. Fortunately, there's a fix. Here's how it works.

If you aren't familiar with this problem or don't think it's a big deal, watch this part of Michael Fisher's OPPO Find N2 review

Why did you switch to Android ? Pros and cons

Once again, I may be lured to the side of the Droid, mainly because I have the feeling that apple has really stopped innovating (I had some hopes for the latest iphone and Dynamic Island but it turned out to be a mistake) and when I see the Xiaomi Mix Fold 2 (which I just discovered) on the phone side or the Lenovo Yoga book 9i on the laptop side, I feel much more attracted to all those novelties.
