Found yet another thin cheap Chinese watch, close to the DW01, But looks better….
Just got it in the mail, and it looks very promising, like an improved DW01.
It exists in both a 6.9 and 7.3mm version, with different top glass.

The band goes into the housing (like e.g. Huawei Band 7) and they supply a chain so it can be used as a pendant also.
Physically suitable for wrists as low as 10cm in circumference. And could be used on even narrower!

The original T8 is being replaced by a new trio of a 7.5% narrower T8 Mini, a T8 and a T8 Pro with speaker and mics for BT-calls.
These are ad renderings images of the T8 Mini and Pro where I scaled the dial by 87% resp. 92% to get the actual display to case ratio(!!), and scaled them too correct relative case size
Like the T8original post, this is likely to be an ongoing project for a while.

Morsø Grande is a really nice and aesthetically pleasing gas grill.
However the table they offer for it has ridiculously small space next to the grill. So I made a DIY from TWO tables two years ago….

Merely 7.8mm thick (6.9 excluding small protrusion, and down to 4.0mm at the edge), AMOLED with AOD.
By far the most wearable smart watch I’d ever seen!!
ADD 20240405: I got an upcoming narrower T8 Mini. that is part of a trio replacing the original T8, see review here.
UPDATE: I have revised this thread to include the various updates from the over a year I have used it.
Currently at $25 including shipping…. Even better stamina than expected, six weeks! (less nine hours)

Post merged into this trio review. As the new T8 Mini proved to be part of a new T8 trio.
Huawei got the design close to perfection with the Band 6, improved it with the Band 7…
…and decided to mess it up with 8 and 9….
In December 2023 (I think) a new thin watch was launched, 9% thicker, 8% wider and with 21% larger display than the T8.
I got it 2024-02-27. The verdict is: Disappointment!

I bought this cheap E600 smart watch out of curiosity of what a breast strap mount can do.
And it is certainly better than I expected for the price, though not without its flaws!

With previous versions of .Net Framework this have been somewhat cumbersome, see my post here.
But with .Net 8.0 WinForms (well also 7.0 and 6.0), and Windows 11 (or newer 10), it is now fairly simple, as long as you follow a few rules, that can be relatively easy applied copying existing Framework projects. I experimented with VS 17.8 on Win 11 23H2.

Review updates:
2020-04-29, Some stuff are fixed with newer firmware.

Have you ever wanted to save an old version of an app you got on your phone that is no longer offered by the Android Market in a usable version?
Either to save for later, before replacing with a newer dubious version (e.g. K9 destroyed their good app), or to use on another device.

UPDATE 2020. After Windows “Creators update”, they made things slightly more complicated, sorry…
Here is a reasonably minimalistic approach. You will often just need code like this:
public partial class Form1 : Form { public Form1() { InitializeComponent(); DPI_Per_Monitor.TryEnableDPIAware(this, SetUserFonts); } void SetUserFonts(float scaleFactorX, float scaleFactorY) { var OldFont = Font; Font = new Font(OldFont.FontFamily, 11f * scaleFactorX, OldFont.Style, GraphicsUnit.Pixel); Refresh(); OldFont.Dispose(); } protected override void DefWndProc(ref Message m) { DPI_Per_Monitor.Check_WM_DPICHANGED(SetUserFonts,m, this.Handle); base.DefWndProc(ref m); } }
You will need to obey a few rules, but often it can be implemented in existing code in minutes!

There are no official case(s) for the FxTec Pro1, so I have ordered over a score of cases/shells for various phones of dimensions close the keyboard part…
Ten have arrived, nine Nov 13., and here are the preliminary results, and a flip case fitted
Add Nov 21, two more have arrived, for Huawei P20 Pro and Note 7
Add Dec 28, two more have arrived a week ago, Flip cases for Huawei P20 Pro and they are better (the above image)
Add Jan 23, a little more on a P20 Pro flip, reverting the inner part
Add Apr 1, a better shell case with strengthened corners.
Add Aug 6, a protector for the top half – disabling edge interaction

WindowsPosSaveNRestore is a tool to save the position of windows for later restore
This is primarily useful if you frequently change display configuration, say add/remove external monitor(s) e.g. by docking, or turning a device with autorotate active.

UPDATE: Bought an S8 for the keyboard, see this.
It sticks up 3mm above the display, and the protective case adds about 1-2mm to the back and width.
The BB Priv is often accused for heating issues. And indeed IF it is used intensively, it WILL heat.
The peak I have in recorded history was 48.5°C eight months ago on 2017-08-13 (on MarshMallow)

The BB Priv has a pretty nice stamina, if it is not too infested with bloat (mine is debloated).
Though some complains that a 3410 mAh battery is too small for a phablet with a 5.4″ QFHD display, it is enough for me.

This is an almost perfect combination of an ultrabook and a tablet in 2016. 😀
I stumbled upon this nice project by Christophe Geers.
And edited and enhanced it to a tool that works a bit like an advanced REPLACE /UPDATE to a tree on the PC based on the name of the device and the drives it exposes.
It is an efficient way to get changed & new files from a device to a PC.
Update: Now supports Exclude also.
It works with a WPD connected device, e.g. an Android device USB-connected in MTP or PTP mode.
Here an example of some of the tree generated
Most backup tools does NOT allow you to do an incremental backup, but they DO allow you to deselect e.g. images. So use this tool to do the incremental backup of the huge WPD-exposed stuff like the images/videos/music, and let your backup tool do backups of all the rest – and in more finite time than a total backup of everything every time – thus making it a bliss to take backups much more often….

Update This post started as description of a problem with displaying some files in FireFox and Chrome, but has been transformed to a more general post about sRGB, ICC, CMS and what happens if the browser gets it wrong…
It all started when I detected that most colours in some web-files got severely distorted when displayed in FireFox and Chrome on my system. Both JPG and PNG files were affected
If you see the first one of these two squares and substantially different from the second clear blue, your CMS system have similar issues…
The first one is supposed to be a standard blue, the second is blue LEDs on your monitor only.

A nerdy idea:
A C# class that quicly can supply a lot of primes (here limited to about the largest prime about 50G – as arrays with over 2G entries are not currently supported without splitting the arrays)
