New Blog Post — To nobody's surprise, Compressor is STILL the fastest Android video compressor app

Competitors have had just over 7 months to respond to Compressor, which now has almost 100,000 downloads, but after all this time, they still haven't improved.

I mainly bought the Galaxy Watch9 because the scratches on my Pixel Watch were starting to annoy me and I wanted something new to play with for 3 days and then forget about 🤑

this is what my old Pixel Watch has looked like for 2/3 of its lifespan because concrete around swimming pools exists ✌️

these are literally worthless now too, there’s only like 2 on Australian eBay and they’re both around $30 USD and in better condition than mine soooo

tiny microscratch on my watch screen buying a new one right now

oops accidentally published Compressor 1.6.2 to GitHub without uploading the APK 🥰

inspirational quote for @today

"I am not worthless. I am worth $200. If you reduced my body down to its base elements, you could sell them to an industrial chemical supplier for about $200. I am full of valuable potassium. No one can ever take that away from me, unless I sell my body to an industrial chemical supplier."

New Blog Post — Actually, I don't hate smartwatches, I just hate Google, and I wish I didn't

Google's mediocre smartwatch software, abysmal level of effort and care put into optimisation and internal self sabotage between departments makes Pixel Watches look and feel incredibly unfinished and unappealing, while making Apple & Samsung look like the best smartwatch companies on earth.

holy crap compressor is at over 88K downloads

why isn’t the kde forums called KDiscuss or KForums or something KStupid KJust KLike KAll KOther KDE KNames

really liking the Galaxy Watch9 so far, INFINITELY better software than the god awful Pixel Watch software and the health tracking seems SIGNIFICANTLY better too. Battery life is a little disappointing but it's still better than my Pixel watch.

APK bundles are evil and bad so I made a thing https://ihateapkbundles.fyi/

there’s a few other tools out there but they barely work and suck, I have spent literal HOURS debugging and reverse engineering various APK bundle formats (APKM and AAB are the WORST) so it should be significantly better than the other tools.

It’s also the only one that supports AAB online :)

I plan on adding more features later like adding your own signing key, changing the app name, etc

Hello from wo.mbat on my iPhone 7 Plus running Android 16

Gemini 3.7 Flash first impressions is that it’s lazy and worse than 3.6 and 3.5

the only thing I’ve kept my shitxel 8 pro(blems) around for is the camera but I don’t even need it for the camera because my Z Flip6 camera is just as good, even the digital zoom with the 50MP main sensor is really good, best digital zoom I’ve ever seen.

The Pixel 11 series has to be the most boring and mid phone launch I’ve seen in years

  • LED on the back for AI slop and… phone calls? Yes Google, I’d LOVE to scratch my screen to see a slop blue and purple gradient LED while talking to mid AI

  • Best camera ever on a Pixel (waow)

  • Probably like 5% faster GPU (hey they’ll be on par with the iPhone 7 from 2016 now!!11!)

  • From Tom’s Guide: “Tensor G6 is nearly 50% slower than Galaxy S26 Ultra” 🤩

  • The only real improvement is they replaced the Shitsung Exynass modem with a Mediatek (midtek) modem so it’s slightly less shit now

  • Bright screen is now brighter, but it probably still won’t be brighter because Google auto brightness makes me want to skin whoever at Google made the Google auto brightness act more like auto darkness and set your brightness to 0% every 30 seconds if you aren’t literally focusing 16 suns of lights through a magnifying glass directly into the light sensor

  • The already shit battery is now smaller
