  1. Got an old #Samsung Galaxy Tab S3 #tablet I was gifted by a relative a few years back (he upgraded to a newer one).

    I use it mostly to read #PDF documents of scanned #books about #oldtimers , #mechanic work and #electronics (so these are quite big PDF files).

    Normal #AdobeReader is laggy on this old device, and I don't need the #AI bullshit bundled with it.

    Can anyone suggest a better PDF reader for Android with 0 ads, decent privacy and good performance?

  2. Making a #spectacle of himself - this chap (a #mechanic in #Kent #SE #England) is wearing #RayBan #spy #glasses for the purpose of his #YouTube video.

    He is carrying out the relatively harmless act of covertly filming buying 5 litres of #petrol (garages often don't like you using mobile phones) to take back to his workshop and check there is 5 litres in the can (indeed there was - not sure what he was expecting to happen, Trading Standards regularly check filling stations!)

    I've got 3 spreadsheets and notebooks of receipts since 2019 (spanning 3 different #cars) where I've been monitoring fuel consumption and I've found nothing to suggest that petrol pumps across East and SE #England are delivering anything other than correct amounts (within tolerances that #TradingStandards allow)
