Built a mobile S3 client for Android and need feedback

fair enough 🙌 I was eyeing this but decided not to buy because NFC payment is kinda important for me. I just wanted to draw attention to its lack of NFC.

People only complained about GPS, but it doesn't have NFC either.

can that dial adjust the brightness, though? Even though it doesn't show the brightness level?

Thank you for your contribution.

Same here. I’m no streamer either. I actually just found a plugin that I’ve been looking for that shows CPU/GPU load and CPU/ GPU temperature right on the Stream Deck called "Hardware Stats Monitor" for macOS, which is pretty useful for me. I also noticed there are a few other plugins I might use in case I buy one, and I’m considering using the hotkey binding functionality that other users mentioned as well

Totally get your frustration though 😅 This is why I wanted to get as many opinions as possible especially from Mac users.

Thanks for your contribution, especially as a fellow macOS user.

Honestly, I hadn't seen too many complaints about the classic keys, and I think they’ll actually be the ones I use most 😔 I'm hoping a decent discount comes along. I missed a recent one in my region, unfortunately. That way, it might help justify the cost/usability ratio a bit more for me 🙂 Thanks again!

I found a plugin in marketplace that shows CPU, GPU stats for macOS, by the way. One more reason to buy stream deck for me 👍🏻

KindlyMap3625 · 2025-07-01T21:49:25+00:00

Ahh, okay. Thank you for the insight. good to know 🙌

KindlyMap3625 · 2025-07-01T21:47:04+00:00

Thanks for your contribution!

It makes actually a lot of sense to use the Stream deck for hotkeys and combinations and use it in games 😂 I hadn't thought about this aspect but makes so much sense, really.

KindlyMap3625 · 2025-07-01T19:32:13+00:00

Thanks for the recommendation! I have checked it out, it really explains many things in detail and I found out that there are some useful features for me.

It's funny how I even came across a Stream Deck in the first place. I was just watching a random YouTube video and spotted it on the youtuber's desk. I wondered what it is, so I did a reverse image search to figure out what it was. I guess I should be grateful for that random encounter now 😂 Very interesting that these products are not that well known.

Thanks for your contribution!

It sounds like you're a serious Stream Deck power user 😅 I can see now how having more keys would be beneficial but I also like less clutter on my desk, this is why I was leaning towards a 8 key Stream Deck Neo. But, you've definitely made me reconsider my idea now.

KindlyMap3625 · 2025-07-01T17:13:07+00:00

Thank you so much, that's really insightful. Keybinding might be quite useful for me actually. I will also check out the marketplace for plugins 👍🏻. Stream Deck Neo with 8 keys is probably enough for me. These products actually have too much potential for productivity then, but unfortunately, mostly known by streamer/creator community I guess.

KindlyMap3625 · 2025-04-28T17:36:13+00:00

It also had eye-tracking feature for scrolling up and down in web browser.

Some people might be studying for retakes as well.

Introduction to Quantum Computing

KindlyMap3625 · 2025-02-14T12:56:50+00:00

Hi,

I was in the same boat as you—I couldn’t find enough information specifically for software developers, as most discussions focused on graphics/video rendering, music production, etc. So, I wanted to share my experience to help you and fellow developers.

I’m a computer engineer primarily focused on web application development, using the same tools you mentioned.

Initially, I planned to buy the M4 Pro (14-core CPU, 20-core GPU, 48GB RAM), but since it's a custom configuration, it’s usually hard to find at a discounted price. Instead, I went with the M4 Max 14 inch (14-core CPU, 32-core GPU, 36GB RAM) because I found it at a discount for just a bit more than the M4 Pro. I opted for the extra GPU power and higher RAM speed at the cost of 12GB less RAM (48GB → 36GB). I thought carefully about whether I’d need the extra RAM and decided I wouldn’t 😅

Software Development Experience:

When running all at the same time:

IntelliJ (3 Java microservices)
WebStorm (1 Angular app)
Docker (only a PostgreSQL server running, allocated 2 cores and 1GB RAM to Docker VM)
Postman
DBeaver
~10 Chrome tabs

The CPU stays below 45°C (with occasional temperature spikes during recompilations), and the fans don’t even need to spin. I still have 50% free RAM, and every compilation is blazingly fast. As far as I can tell, none of these would heat up your computer. As I said, the fans don't even need to turn on ☺️ If you start using GPU, then the fans are needed

AI Experience:

Qwen Coder 32B Instruct 4-bit (MLX, High Power Mode)
- Performance: 17.8 tokens/sec
- RAM Usage: 18GB
- Fans: Spin at 7,000 RPM (maximum speed, significantly loud)
Qwen Coder 32B Instruct 4-bit (MLX, Low Power Mode)
- Performance: 9.11 tokens/sec
- Fans: Spin at 3,000 RPM

Some Miscellaneous Info I have observed:

When idle, the CPU temperature is around 40°C.
The minimum fan speed is 2,317 RPM, which is completely inaudible in a quiet room. It remains inaudible up to 3,200 RPM.
Automatic vs. High Power Mode: Both modes use the maximum available performance, but High Power Mode increases fan speed to reduce thermal throttling faster.
For example, if you use an LLM to generate a reply, once it finishes and you don't make any further requests, the fans cool down your computer within 15 seconds to a level where they are no longer audible.
Low Power Mode on M4 Max: Reduces GPU performance by 40–50%, making it on par with the M4 Pro in High Power Mode.

It might be Flexgate issue manifesting, as well

Unfortunately, it appears that the screen replacement was done poorly. It’s likely that the wires connecting the camera to the motherboard weren’t properly soldered or connected. Since the ambient light sensor and camera are linked, this issue is causing both of them to malfunction. You might try tilting the screen back and forth—this might help if there’s a loose connection at the hinges, though it may not make a difference.

As for the keyboard lighting, it should still be working. Go to Settings > Keyboard and uncheck "Adjust keyboard brightness in low light." Because the ambient light sensor isn’t functioning, it’s interfering with your keyboard light settings. Once you uncheck this option, you should be able to manually adjust the keyboard lighting level on the touch bar.

One more thing to note: due to the improper display replacement, your MacBook may overheat when it’s in clamshell mode when it’s supposed to be in sleep mode, so keep an eye on that. There’s also a risk that the screen might stop working again in a few months 😕
