Give battery power or other devices with a Samsung phone
One of the unique features that Samsung brought to their recent Galaxy S series of phones is the ability to charge other devices wirelessly on the phone itself. This comes in really useful when you have peripherals like headphones or watches running out of battery. Check out the video to see how it's done.
After digging up my Neo Geo from storage, an issue I had was that the controller wasn’t fully working. I tried repairing it, but there was an issue with its PCB that I couldn’t fix. I then started looking for another solution. I’m not a big fan of the Neo Geo CD’s controllers dpad so I wanted to use a controller with a better dpad. My research led me to a Genesis to Neo Geo adapter. I go over the adapter in this video.

Sometimes you want to be able to watch a video while working on something else without the need to resize the video application. This comes in useful for tutorial videos, some news videos, or to just straight up procrastinate.

I really miss when Samsung allowed some of their phones to run Linux. I was able to accomplish some of my workflow from my job with it. It was only in beta and ultimately Samsung decided to pull the plug on it.
I then decided to look for other ways of installing Linux on Android. THere are several methods but my favorite is by using the Andronix app. This video is going to be an overview of that application.
