  • Not sure of a FOSS for this, but the one I’ve been using for over 10 years across iPhone and Android was Navmii.

    This is a must have for any long driving trips because unlike Google Maps, Apple Maps, etc. that require an internet connection or you to manually download specific sections for offline use, this one allows you to download entire areas for offline use and just uses the GPS for guidance.

    Speaking as someone from the US, I use it to download entire US states so that I will have that entire state when traveling. Helps a lot if in an area like the desert or somewhere secluded where cell reception is limited or non-existent. Doesn’t have all the fancy POIs but does have the roads to help you navigate out of being lost.

    Would be nice to have a FOSS alternative, but this works. I think you do need to have a free account, but it doesn’t cost anything. I’ve spent $0 on it but have used it a lot.



  • We recently noticed this with Samsung’s line where my mom went from one of the flagships to the lower end. She was initially hesitant but has actually been much happier.

    She got a removable battery, micro SD card slot, better battery life, among other features she came to love that weren’t on the flagship. It’s crazy they don’t, but my best guess is that all these features add doors/slots that “ruin” the aesthetic of the look of the phone? I’m not sure why else they choose to do this besides that. Though I have heard the removable battery loss is due to waterproofing, and it’s not possible to have that with a waterproof design.




  • If you don’t like fighting enemies of a higher level than you, you’re better off holding off on that quest and focusing on other quests or doing side quests like the bounty missions and gaining more XP to get closer to that level 30. It’s going to be a while to get up to that point, but you can do like the other person recommended and adjust your difficulty if it’s not already adjusted.

    Light spoilers, but the Freestar Rangers quest lines leads into a massive battle at the end and has a lot of challenging enemies, or maybe they’re not so much challenging as much as it’s a giant horde you need to deal with. You’re going to likely want to level up some more so you won’t have too many issues on that last part.

    There is also some strategy to be had here. Stock up on a lot of resources, both ammo and health fortifying and healing resources, to help give you the best shot. Also consider what companion you take with you and what gear they have. Find the best suited for battles and best gear to share with them.















  • The paint makes him look like he has blackface which is extremely offensive and often leads to people losing their jobs.

    The first prank with the binoculars is an old, classic prank of putting black paint on the eye holes so it makes two circles on the person’s eyes who wears them. So he was one-upping the prank by tricking the guy into looking through a hole that would paint his entire face black.
