The discussion on Yahoo closing Answers tonight quickly went from alternative text based question/answer sites to long YouTube videos having hardly any content but ads, to blocking these ads: [Wayback] Yahoo sluit Answers-dienst na vijftien jaar en verwijdert inhoud – IT Pro – Nieuws – Tweakers
So here are some links where I can learn a bit of browser plugin and Android development technology as well:
(What I dislike most about ads is that they start at unnatural positions in the stream and cover topics I’m totally not interested in).

Almost complete droid family:

A complete family would include ANDroid, NANDroid, NOTdroid, ORdroid, NORdroid, XORdroid, XNORdroid, so it’s missing the 74266.
Based on the 2011 ANDroid NANDroid NOTdroid ORdroid idea that got a picture in 2012:

Two Android apps I tried that work quite OK for measuring dBA or Sound Pressure Level:
Measuring sound levels is not easy, especially the calibration is important. That’s why professional devices are relatively expensive.
These are no full replacements for those professional devices, but the first comes close enough for me.

A while ago, I had a power issue that somehow resolved itself before I could dig deeper into it, so for next time:

Boy, I totally missed this was possible: [WayBack] How to text from your computer with Android Messages – The Verge
Texting from the web gives you a lot more flexibility in how and where you can continue conversations. Here’s how to set it up and get started.
…
- Make sure you’ve got the latest version of Android Messages installed on your phone.
- Go to messages.android.com on the computer or other device you want to text from. You’ll see a big QR code on the right side of this page.
- Open up Android Messages on your smartphone. Tap the icon with three vertical dots at the top and to the far right. You should see a “Messages for web” option inside this menu. If you don’t, just give it some time. Google is rolling out the feature gradually to everyone over the next week.
- Tap “Scan QR code” and point your phone’s camera at the QR code on your other device. In less than a second, your phone will vibrate and the two will be linked up. You should notice your conversations show up in the left column of the browser window. Google says that “conversation threads, contacts, and other settings will be encrypted and cached on your browser.”
Note: this doesn’t mean your actual text conversations are encrypted. They’re not.
