My new Samsung Galaxy S22 plus Phantom white 256gb

SAMSUNG Galaxy S22 Ultra Cell Phone, Factory Unlocked Android Smartphone, 256GB, 8K Camera & Video, Brightest Display Screen, S Pen, Long Battery Life, Fast 4nm Processor, US Version, Burgundy

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I bought the Samsung Galaxy S22 plus around a week ago and have been using it for work and play. Before that, I bought iPhone 13. My first iPhone since my last iPhone 8 several years ago. Yes, now I owned and have been using both of them at the same time.

Why just use one phone when you can use both with different OS and UI aka user interface!? Both of them have their cons and pro. For the Samsung android phone, I like just putting my most used app icons near the bottom side. While for the iPhone 13, I don't mind all the main apps covering the home screen.

The Android OS is more flexible and you can install practically anything on it. While on the iPhone it's very rigid. You'll have to go through loops just to install the same app readily available in the Google play store. For example, I like using the app, "Termux" which is like a Linux terminal on your phone.

Termux is not available for the iPhone. Luckily, there's another app that is similar to it called, iSH. You can download it from the App store. Termux allows you to install python 2.7 and use it within the terminal. But, you can't update to the latest version.

I must admit, although I didn't like the iPhone notch, I find myself enjoying using the phone as a whole. Maybe, I haven't owned an iPhone for a while but it certainly felt different. Later on, when I got my Samsung S22+ I felt the compelling urge to use it more than the iPhone.

I have given my Samsung Note 10+ to my mom. The S22+ doesn't have an S pen, like the Note 10+. So, I'll be missing it. It's fun to write or draw on your phone using an S-Pen. Though I have to admit, I seldom use it. One thing both the iPhone 13 and S22+ have is a good camera.

To me, both of the cameras are good. I like how easy and quickly it is to edit the pictures using the iPhone editor after you have taken the photo. You can of course do that too with the S22+. But, you need to reach out to the top while the iPhone is readily available below.

I mostly post my pictures on my Instagram and they'll also be posted on my Twitter and Facebook accounts. Normally, I'll use Instagram picture filters. But, I find if I use the iPhone or Samsung editor, I won't use the filters by Instagram.

I didn't have the budget, if not, I would have gone for both the Samsung & iPhone pros version. Simply because they have bigger screens and better camera capabilities. I like both the OS and user interface. Each has its own uniqueness.

Both of these phones have their own fan base. I'm pretty much in the middle. I like using anything and everything that is new in tech. I hope one day, Apple will finally get rid of the stupid notch and embrace full screen. Just like the Samsung android phone.

Powkiddy X18 - Make Dope Music with Drum Pad Machine

Powkiddy X18 Handheld Games Console 2-Player Video Game Machine 5.5-Inch WiFi

Hey guys,

Check it out!

Lol. By now, you guys probably would have get it. Yes, Powkiddy X18 is a pretty cool Android portable gaming console. I really like the form factor, which is like a mini laptop. And also, it's almost the same as my New Nintendo 3DS XL. Only, I can do much more with the X18.

The problem with the NN3DS XL is that it doesn't have social media. It doesn't have an open O.S. like Android. You can practically do anything with Android. Part of the reason, I got the X18 is because I can install Ubuntu 20 via Termux (Andronix). An app that lets you use the Linux terminal.

Frankly, I was waiting for my Android tablet laptop to arrive but somehow it got lost during the delivery. Luckily, I got a refund. So, I look around, and when I found out that this Powkiddy X18 and GPD XD Plus can also be used for other things besides gaming, I was intrigued.

I thought these devices were only for playing Android and retro games. It also comes with an integrated controller. But, it's not as powerful as your mobile phone. It only uses the MTK8163 CPU. It is good enough for some gaming and usual everyday stuff like checking emails, social media, and youtube.

I found out that you can use Bluetooth to add an external controller or OTG cable to link via cable. You can also link to your monitor or TV via the mini HDMI port. Pretty useful, as you can then use it as an Android computer. It's using Android 7.0 but still powerful enough for basic computing.

I really like the small compact and portable folding form. You can open it up and let it sit on the table. Bluetooth your keyboard and mouse and voila a mini-computer setup. For simple tasks, you don't need to lug around a Windows laptop anymore.

As an android device, you can download many games and apps on it. I decided to try downloading a drum pad machine app and see how good it'll be. Obviously, it's more on using the touchscreen and it's not that awkward to use. Even with the small 5.5" screen.

The sound coming out of it is not that bad. But, it'll be better if you put it on a table so the sound will be more prominent. You can use a cable to link to your favorite speaker but I link it up to my Harmon Kardon Bluetooth speaker. Which is easy to pair and connect.

I'm not a professional DJ or musician but I can see them using this type of Android device for their gigs. In fact, anybody can use it for anything. The small form factor is definitely a plus. A lot of mobile gamers have two phones, one for gaming and the other one for communication.

The powkiddy X18 and GPD XD Plus also has an integrated controller, which is a plus for gaming. Especially those FPS shooter games. Of course, you can also play other games like RPG if they have controller support. If not, you can use the remap buttons app which is already included.

I think I'm glad that I didn't get the tablet as the X18 pretty much good enough for my entertainment, gaming, and general usage. The small and compact form factor, the portability, the Android O.S., and able to play with Linux via the terminal are definitely a plus.

Windows Subsystem Linux (WSL) in Microsoft Visual Studio Code

C 8.0 and .NET Core 3.0 – Modern Cross-Platform Development: Build applications with C#, .NET Core, Entity Framework Core, ASP.NET Core, and ML.NET using Visual Studio Code, 4th Edition

Hey guys,

Check it out!

I've been dabbling, playing around with Python and WSL aka Windows Subsystem for Linux using a separate editor. But, yesterday, watching a video on learning python, it was recommended to download and use Microsoft Visual Studio Code.

Recently, I saw a youtube video showing that now, you can use WSL right from inside the Visual Studio. I was intrigued. That's part of the reason I wanted to download and install the Visual Studio code. Seems like will be something new for me to learn.



C 8.0 and .NET Core 3.0 – Modern Cross-Platform Development: Build applications with C#, .NET Core, Entity Framework Core, ASP.NET Core, and ML.NET using Visual Studio Code, 4th Edition

For me, this is something new to try and play with. Installation was pretty fast and easy. Once, I installed the Visual Studio code, it immediately asked me if I wanted to add the WSL since I already have it. That's really helpful right from the start.

Of course, the first thing I tried was trying some simple python, "Hello World" code. But, first, it installed and add python for me. You can practically install and use anything from inside the visual studio code. This is a pretty powerful editor.



Visual Studio Code: End-to-End Editing and Debugging Tools for Web Developers

This is funny but after a while doing some python stuff, I go to the terminal and instinctively type, wsl. And, immediately I was brought to the windows subsystem for the Linux command line. I was like, oh ok, that's how I can go to Linux.

It was actually cool to be able to use wsl right from inside the virtual studio code. This way, I can do python stuff, run it, debugs, or whatever and then can just go to Linux terminal and try it there too. You can also do other usual Linux stuff like update and upgrade.



Windows Subsystem for Linux: Tactics, Mindset, and Tips

I didn't show it in the youtube demo video I uploaded but you can also play Linux command line games too. Being able to learn coding in python and at the same time using Linux from right inside the Microsoft editor is really useful for me.

Yeah, I'll still just use the wsl or python thonny editor separately for trying out or checking quick stuff. If I'm really getting into it, I'll then open up the visual studio code. The studio code is not just for python. If you're working on other stuff like Ruby, C#, or whatever, they have it all! 

Nintendo Switch with Neon Blue and Neon Red Joy‑Con - HAC-001(-01)

I'm actually also learning coding with SmileBASIC 4 (website) and FUZE 4 (website) on my Nintendo switch lite. It's almost like python. Just the coding and keywords are different. There was a game that also includes a Ruby editor. But, Nintendo discovers it and the game dev had to delete it.

It will actually be fun to be able to use the Ruby editor on my switch lite. It's so powerful that even Nintendo banning the game. That's really a bummer. It would have been a good way for people to learn about coding with Ruby. Money is not everything, Nintendo!

Well, there's so much you can do to have fun!
