PSA regarding room fan maintenance:

Guys, if you have a regular room fan, cleaning them can not only increase their life span and reduce noise.  
Their motors aren’t very well ventilated and dust gets in from the vents quite easily. The dust causes the same issue as with heatsinks (worse heat dissipation) and it gunks up the “bearings” (which are usually just bushings with some grease on them).  
One of mine had a hard time even spinning up last year and cleaning off the dust and applying some oil saved me from buying a new one.

And it’s not that hard. And they all look the same.

Once you remove the 4 screws held on by nuts you can get into the housing and remove some dust from the copper winding and put some oil on the backside of the rod/bushing.  
Then put it all back together (carefully test it without the plastic housing just in case you put the nuts and screws on too tight) and you’re good to go.

So it works pretty well. Blew it and had someone come bursting through some doors and asking if everyone was ok XD

Pikuniku is a nice chill game. Also charming.

Also this screen shot I took could be good desktop wallpaper.

I’m slowly catching up on my Netflix backlog… I just started Broadchurch [No not the American one.]  
I’ve only seen the first episode and I’m very impressed so far. Legit mystery. Kinda reminds me of Twin Peaks except not soap opera [Look I love Twin Peaks but it has a Soap Opera feel to it. Granted a very weird surreal one.]. I’m going to keep watching. I think I’m in for a solid show. I’ll let you guys know.

The battery life of my Tab A is phenomenal. Sure, that’s to be expected of a huge 7300mAh battery but when it’s just lying around (still connected via wifi) it sips at idle.  
1d11h on idle  
4h41m of reading manga  
35m of browsing  
I’m only down to 75% (63,75% cause I set it to 85% max charging, still shows as 100% though).  
And quick charge is fucking fast. It’s very easy to forget about it cause I’m used to having to charge my device for hours, and ending up with 100% “by accident” (really need to keep an eye on that with my new phone cause I can’t set it to not charge 100%).

When I first turned it on I thought " oh fuck!" cause I was greeted with a “Secured by Knox” message. After the Knox debacle with a Note (I forgot which one) where you couldn’t even use flip covers that would unlock the phone by simply opening the cover if it wasn’t from Samsung (I think ones from Spigen worked too), rooting being impossible due to Knox and some other issues due to Knox’s hand-holding, and also my rather meh experiences with Samsung phones, I didn’t bother keeping up with it.  
I feared that it’s still pretty locked down to the point where side loading apps or maybe even alternative launchers wouldn’t work. But to my surprise there weren’t any problems at all. Even the “not Samsung” flip cover works with my Tab A, so when I open it I don’t even have to swipe up to unlock it.

Another good thing is the battery saver. It’s not as aggressive as others (which just clear the whole RAM and necessary apps just start again). Also, there are different presets you can choose from and even modify some aspects (like if you want the CPU performance throttled to 70% or not, or how much the screen brightness should be reduced, and also if you want apps to be able to use wifi while they’re running in the background).

It did come with a variety of “bloatware”, all of them being Samsung’s apps. But to my surprise most of them can be uninstalled, rather than just “uninstall all updates”.  
I don’t need Bixby or this weird community thing or Samsung’s app store.  
Out of the box the onboard storage is pretty clean. 21.9GB of 32GB are free to use - and Samsung even lists that on their product page. Didn’t expect that tbh.

One odd thing though, is that it only officially supports microSDs with up to 400GB. Their customer support says 512GB aren’t guaranteed to work, so mileage may vary. The odd part about that is that Samsung does _not_ make 400GB microSDs, so they basically tell you to buy from their competition if you want to use the max. guaranteed to work capacity.

TL;DR Only 400GB is supported because thats the largest size that currently exsists that they can test with

Sounds about right judging by Samsung’s first 512GB microSD release (around October 2018, tablet was released August 2018).

Intrusive DRMs are the worst.

Amazon uses an equally annoying DRM on their Audible audiobooks as they use a proprietary audio format. It’s just a pain in the ass to deal with. At least the ebooks can be converted without a hassle.

Too bad the largest you can buy right now is 1TB…starting at 420€ (giggity).

But it IS fucking amazing. 1TB/1000GB in a card the size of a fingernail.

Are you even trying?  
I had no issues (unfortunately) filling my 128GB microSD with manga and comics. For some reason some of them have ridiculous file sizes for what they are and compared to others with the same file type.

How big are Switch games?  
Although, it’s easier to fill up the storage on a device like a tablet where you can use lots of different media files. The Switch isn’t as multipurpose as a tablet or even a phone.
