  • i strategically bought a cheap s20 for ~80$ to wait some time for the market to be better. ~6 months later i bought a waay better phone, for a good price&quality.
    the s20 had a huge black spot of broken pixels.
    i still use it (its in my packpack RN). decent for extra storage or even LLM(slm). but the screen is flickering so i need to get the screen replaced …etc




  • thats true. its my own fault in some ways. meaning that i could have prevented it via backups.
    i suppose i could channel my feelings in that direction. however, even before this, i had plans of moving away from apps. apps dont provide necessary features that i need.
    its like… for example… why would you ever need a complicated selfhosted cloud software to store your notes(bad example RN). my reasoning: someone else wrote the software for general users. if the task is simple(writing text to a file)… i ought to just write it myself, for my own needs. its not hard and its really important that it works and is controllable.
    apps are kinda cute and ergonomic for touchscreens(maybe*). i would still use it when i absolutely need that. but any other case, i would take the opportunity to take full control of my workflow.











  • kagi has api pricing $12/1000 .
    its quality. but there are competitors who charge 30% of that.
    quality? idk. yes…no… maybe sometimes.
    but its alot cheaper if you dont need the highest quality service.
    ** im not talking about LLM… but llm also price per 1K req… and are a competitive alternative… despite risk of hallucination
