3d Pressure from keyboard supports: The one that keeps breaking or getting lost...

Who doesn’t know them: Those little supports on keyboards that make the keyboard stand up and thus improve the typing feel. A tiny part of half a cent, which destroys the whole feeling as soon as it breaks, but of course only accounts for a fraction of the actual device. And, of course, the gizmos have to be slightly different for virtually all keyboards. But this is where a 3d printer helps tremendously: I’ve now printed several different ...

Sailfish OS: Situations

The Situations app is a very helpful companion for SFOS users. It lets the user respond to different situations with automatic actions. You leave the house? Maybe you want to switch on mobile data instead of WLAN? One is in a meeting? Now all indications should be switched to mute? Situations can do it for you.

Sailfish OS: What is MicroG?

In some cases, Sailfish OS requires the ability to use Android apps. Most of them can be run relatively easily with Alien Dalvic, and they work just fine. However, some check very carefully that Google’s Play Services are installed on the device, and you usually don’t want that as a normal user of SFOS for privacy reasons. MicroG offers a free and independent alternative to the closed and proprietary solutions of Google Services. It is ...
