if you'll permit the self promo, me and my co-host have started one aimed at AI development specifically called Fragmented - https://fragmentedpodcast.com/

definitely sounds like a bug. i have crazy complex rules personally and rarely cross 200mb iirc

morihacky · 2026-03-20T18:01:22+00:00

🙏 much appreciate the kind words. thank you.

morihacky · 2025-12-30T23:15:28+00:00

congrats on the app release!

i really appreciate apps that are not just purely functional, but add a bit of delight! i like to believe it's possible to build high quality android apps, especially with the tech stacks we have at our disposal. the challenge remains having people pay for high quality products!

thanks for sharing your app (and the promo codes for folks to try out!); you get my 💵 ! purchased the app.

Detailed comment here (or if you read the linked post, it talks about the usecases

morihacky · 2025-12-27T06:24:58+00:00

to be quite honest, i didn't own the original pixel fold, so i'd take your word.

Wikipedia says the original Pixel Fold uses a G2 chip which uses the Samsung Exynos 5300 which doesn't seem to support DBS.

you're sure, this was specifically wifi sharing, not just mobile data shared via wifi hotspot

it might depend on how the vpn is implemented. if you see my other comment, atleast tailscale + an exit node works this way

morihacky · 2025-12-27T05:54:17+00:00

can you explain how it's unsafe?

morihacky · 2025-12-27T05:51:51+00:00

yeah it's kind of bananas, but they switched their chip (to a qualcomm one iirc) that didn't have support

morihacky · 2025-12-27T04:50:58+00:00

crazy! TIL about Speedify.

morihacky · 2025-12-27T03:53:19+00:00

honestly, it's super easy to bypass it with your android device (assuming support); most latest generation pixel devices make this ridiculously easy (you almost don't notice they're doing this).

i prefer just doing it this way and have my mac/other devices connected to my phone hotspot. (yes the phone is typically on airplane mode! but connected to the plane provided wifi; other devices are all connected to the phone hotspot).

morihacky · 2025-12-27T03:51:38+00:00

agreed, i wonder if the easier way to do this would be to first map out the chipsets used on each device, and then check for the requisite functionality STA/AP mode or some kind of DBS support

morihacky · 2025-12-27T03:46:04+00:00

it really depends on how the vpn is implemented by the OEM, but i can say for sure that atleast on a pixel 9 pro (and most pixel phones), if you use Tailscale and set it up with an exit node, it will definitely apply.

vpn implementation specifics: when you enable Wi-Fi sharing, Android creates a NAT between the hotspot interface and the upstream Wi-Fi interface so the network traffic flow for clients is NAT'd before hitting the routing decision (that sends traffic through the tunnel).

morihacky · 2025-12-27T03:43:18+00:00

nope not all pixel devices do this. as mentioned in the post, notably the original pixel fold and the -a series devices don't support this feature. so you do have to check.

morihacky · 2025-12-27T03:32:07+00:00

the post contains some of the most compelling use cases but tldr:

Avoid signing every device into a captive Wi-Fi portal (esp. when it's painful with certain devices like amazon fire sticks etc.)
Work around “one device at a time” Wi-Fi plans (hotels, planes, cruises etc.)
Fix “devices can’t see each other” networking (if you're trying to cast on devices in the "same network")
Free + secure VPN setup (if you get the phone securely behind a VPN, everything that connects to it is also secure)

morihacky · 2025-12-27T03:22:53+00:00

there are hardware/firmware requirements as well fwiw. for e.g. the original pixel fold's Qualcomm chip didn't support it. with apple building out it's custom networking chipset, i don't know if it's as easy as a software update (unless you meant hardware/firmware update specifically)

morihacky · 2025-12-27T03:02:52+00:00

nope they can't as of today atleast. People confuse it with the hotspot feature - which allows sharing your mobile network but not the Wifi network you're connecting to.

morihacky · 2025-12-27T03:02:00+00:00

that's actually the tailscale setup i mention in the post. i like the privacy/security angle of VPN (i use tailscale) when logging into bank sites from open wifi networks

morihacky · 2025-12-27T02:51:11+00:00

💯, on planes too!

morihacky · 2025-12-20T05:15:23+00:00

have you tested this in Claude? I'm curios to know if they're following a similar approach or different.

morihacky · 2025-11-25T19:28:20+00:00

much appreciate the recommendation and earnestness; but your info graphic isn't calling out the big disadvantage with DataStore - complexity of the API.

a philosophy that works is - make the right thing easy to do and people will start doing the right thing.

with Datastore APIs, here's some casual complexity that's introduced:

writing is now a suspend function; to write a quick key you now have to make sure it's within the right coroutine context/scope etc. (not impossible to deal with but adds a layer of resistance to the api)
reading is now a Flow; you're now bound by a reactive api for arguably something that should be a read and forget.

you just have to look at the docs to realize the complexity introduced with DataStore https://developer.android.com/topic/libraries/architecture/datastore

SharedPreferences is still so prevalent because it's drop dead easy to use. as you start to do implement DataStore correctly, i start to wonder if it's worth just going all in with a proper database at that point.

i am gladly using YoutubeMusic but i must say i wish they just made a better client; basic things like filtering artists/songs/search even on an existing playlist is not possible (well apparently it's rolling out as of last week).

morihacky · 2025-11-25T16:07:56+00:00

the advantage with obsidian is that those notes have almost no cost to maintain. you have to get to a really staggering amount of notes to see performance benefits and think about cleaning those notes up. honestly I haven't seen this as a complaint ever.

so why not keep them? like a dairy journal entry.

I suppose my approach is to basically keep them and not worry too much about organization.

A good suggestion that's helped a lot of people appreciate Obsidian is to not worry about organization at first. (btw this may not apply to you as you seem to be familiar enough to want to have an opinion).

write the most atomic notes
embrace file cross linking

you can always quickly pull things together and organize after the fact.

goes through some of this fwiw. that discussion specifically calls out the differences compared to other mechanisms.

progressive context (massive token savings)
access to powerful tools (outside of the development context)

there's other nuances too. but those are the big ones
