#Surfraw provides a fast unix command line #interface to a variety of popular #WWW #search engines

We've all been there: the graphical user interface has crashed and you're stuck on the command line. Now you need an extensive internet search to get everything up and running again. Now you know the right tool for this.

I am a big fan of #FDroid but the #error management is a #disaster.

F-Droid is free #software and an alternative for the #Google Play Store on #Android on the #smartphone.

Most of the time, everything runs great, but sometimes apps cannot be installed or updated.

The error messages displayed are:
- internal error
- unknown error

So the user is left to find out the error by herself. Often the problem is the space on the device. From time to time, however, you are just guessing and have to wait until the next update. In my experience, this is always due to careless programming. Any error message, no matter how cryptic, is better than what is displayed.

Third (and likely final) version of my headphone button extender. Taking a lot of careful measurements was annoying, but really helped this come together fast.

I wanted to make it a more refined shape, but realized my desire to have both the sides and bottoms of each button be pressable, combined with the need to maximize the size and tactile cues meant they had to be flat, chunky, and hard-edged.

Model is here in case you own a pair of Q30s:
