<p>Funny thing about Nothing Ear A is that even though they have very similar form factor to AirPods Pro - they stay in my ears and are much more comfortable. Price being 1/3 of Pro’s is another pro (no pun intended).</p>

<p>Can’t lie - it does feel amazing that I do have everything I’d love to listen to on this unbelievably small device.</p>
<p>This isn’t the iPod I was taking about previously. This one has shitty battery and only 16GB of storage and I’m thinking about pulling the trigger on refurbished iPod Classic with 256GB SD card instead of the old HDD. This could be awesome.</p>

<p>I’ve had about four Windows updates in the span of three days. Each one, of course, requires a reboot.

This has never changed—every single macOS, iPhone, or Android update is something I welcome with open arms, but whenever Windows needs updating, I’m on the verge of crying myself to sleep at the mere thought of it.</p>

<p>The biggest tech revelation for me this year is that I don’t have to rely on Apple that much. I’ve embraced the open waters. I haven’t moved to Android completely (yet?), but I’m a bit of a “two-phones” type of guy now. I dropped the Apple Watch and went with a Whoop + normal watch combo. Apart from my Mac, I got myself a really nice tower PC that I use every day. There’s more to it, too—I had to find multi-platform apps, and I’m happy to say I’m good. Everything works great, and I live happily in this messy ecosystem.</p>
<p>Apparently, I didn’t need so many things I thought were necessities. It’s freeing.</p>

<p>Sorry, not sorry—another iOS vs. Android thing. Basically, because I’ve changed my lifestyle over the past year—losing a lot of weight, gaining muscle, and going to the gym regularly—I find myself using my Apple Watch much more than I did, say, two years ago.</p>
<p>I’ve been testing Whoop, and it’s really nice, but the Apple Watch provides almost the same experience without requiring a subscription. That makes it hard for me to fully move away from the iPhone, because in the long run, the Apple Watch + iPhone combo ends up being more cost-effective.</p>

<p>Because I can, I’m sometimes moving between iPhone and Pixel. Most of the time it’s pixel but there are moments in which I find myself wanting to use iPhone (mostly because of Apple Watch and ability to be notified on my wrist when something REALLY IMPORTANT happens or because our apartment still has some automations based on Homekit).</p>
<p>But what pains me this time - I felt that notification wise I’m missing a lot on iOS. Action buttons in android notifications are golden. Somebody sends me a link? I can open it from notifications without even opening the communicator app. New YouTube video? I can just add it to watch later from notifications.</p>
<p>I find myself more and more saying yes to notifications on Android because I can control them better and I can easily get rid of them if needed (something that never works on iOS because you can click X and mass prune them but some of the notifications are above that X area and they won’t be deleted and I have no idea what the rule is).</p>
<p>That’s another one for you from my OS battles.</p>

<p>Well, it’s been over a year since I last talked about <!-- raw HTML omitted -->my defaults<!-- raw HTML omitted --> (even though I tried to update it along the way).</p>
<p>A lot has changed in that year, so I’m going to go over it again. To make things easier, I’m reusing the old list with previous defaults and will let you know if and how they have changed.</p>
<p>📨 Mail Client: Mail.app on both iOS and macOS; for work, Mimestream (Google accounts only). Because I’ve shifted most of my day-to-day activities to a Windows machine (I managed to get a BEAST with 64GB of RAM and a 4TB SSD for under $1,000), I now handle most of my mail in the browser—Fastmail in Vivaldi (personal) and Gmail in Chrome (work). On any of my devices (I use Android personally now, while my iPhone is mainly for work), I use the Fastmail and Gmail apps.</p>
<p>📮 Mail Server: Fastmail for personal use and Google for work. No changes here!</p>
<p>📝 Notes: Obsidian, Tot, and Day One. Day One is still here; I have a streak that’s about 300 days long now. For regular notes, I’ve settled on the free version of Standard Notes. When I moved away from the Apple-only ecosystem, I needed something that worked across all OSes, and Standard Notes does.</p>
<p>✅ To-Do: Akiflow and Things. Akiflow is still going strong; I even paid for five years of it since I’m not planning on dropping it anytime soon. I use it solely for my work calendar and tasks, and it’s made a huge difference for me. For personal tasks, I use Google Tasks. It just works: I add tasks with dates, and they show up when needed. I no longer need the complexity of something like Omnifocus, and it felt great to let go of that.</p>
<p>📷 Phone Camera: I previously used the Camera app on iPhone exclusively. Now, I take most of my photos with a Google Pixel 8a. The camera on the 8a is amazing, and I love having that 2x zoom button in the camera app.</p>
<p>🟦 Photo Management: Lightroom—still going strong! Lightroom is fantastic.</p>
<p>📆 Calendar: Previously used Calendar on iOS and Akiflow on Mac; now it’s Akiflow on PC and the Fastmail app on Android.</p>
<p>📁 Cloud File Storage: iCloud + Backblaze B2—still my go-to. I’m not using Google Drive yet, and honestly, I don’t know if I need to archive many actual files. Most of my “files” are Google Docs, Sheets, and photos. I have some archives, but it’s only a few gigs of data. I may copy it to Google Drive for access on my Pixel, but I haven’t really needed it in the past year.</p>
<p>📖 RSS: FreshRSS with Reeder. Since I moved to Android, I now use Read You with FreshRSS. It works well, and I don’t miss Reeder!</p>
<p>🙍🏻♂️ Contacts: Same as before. I use whatever is default on Android.</p>
<p>🌐 Browser: Arc Browser on Mac and Arc Search on iOS. Arc has gone downhill in recent months, and their Windows app never took off. I dropped Arc entirely and switched to Vivaldi. It works as well as Chrome without actually being Chrome. I don’t care as much about browsers anymore, so Vivaldi it is.</p>
<p>💬 Chat: Telegram, Signal, and WhatsApp—still the same, though I’d rank them differently now: Signal, WhatsApp, Telegram.</p>
<p>🔖 Bookmarks: Browser.</p>
<p>📑 Read It Later: Good Links. I’ve stopped using “read it later” tools. If I need to save something for later, I send it to myself via Signal or email. But honestly, I only did that a few times over the entire year. Another thing I let go of!</p>
<p>🤖 Mastodon: Previously used Ivory and IceCubes. Now, it’s mostly in the browser, and if I’m on my phone, I use Moshidon.</p>

<p>Android apps are good enough that I don’t miss any particular app. Even if the iOS app was better, the Android version of it (either because there’s the same app for Android or there’s a different app that does the same thing) is most of the time good enough to not care because it does the job done.</p>

<div class="e-content">
<p>Since I have moved onto the Pixel I find myself using Gemini a lot. I do it a couple times a day and my questions are mostly about small things. Yesterday I asked what the hell is baba ganoush, today I have asked what does “habibi” actually mean. We were picking new heaters and I wasn’t actually sure how do we calculate the wattage and it just answered me. MOST of the times I did fact-check and it was actually right!</p>
<p>This is a big change to my daily workflow. Because whenever something comes to my mind - I can (and I am!) ask about it and learn something new.</p>
<p>There are moments in which I’m missing my iPhone, sure. I do have these thoughts daily, but my sim card remains in the Pixel for about week and a half. Whenever I think about the iPhone, I remind myself that this tool has better assistant, better screen, does the same job and have OUT OF THIS WORLD notification system. And - that was new to me, seriously - these are to me worth more than iOS ecosystem? And the funny part of that is because I’ve moved from Apple to more open Google (evil, but a bit more open) - I can still access my photos and messages on my Mac. Because they are available in the web.</p>
<p>Crazy experience. I know we said these things about Apple, but they just figured some nice things out. You’re getting to bed and plugging up your phone? It’s getting darker and black & white, so you go to sleep instead of scrolling. Someone’s calling you and you can’t answer now? Flip your phone screen down and it will be silenced because obviously.</p>
<p>So, if anyone asks - I do like Pixel 8a.</p>

<p>Just to add to the point of iPhone feeling more expensive/premium and 8a feeling cheaper - I’m not saying it’s a bad thing, because I feel safer and have to be less careful with Pixel. I love glass, don’t get me wrong, but iPhone with case feels chunky and without one - very slippery.</p>

<p>Few random thoughts about iOS vs Android:</p>
<ul>
<li>I like Apple Pay experience more,</li>
<li>the assistant on Android (the normal, non-Gemini) is so much better than Siri,</li>
<li>I still have to keep around an iPhone because of smart home (thermostats are HomeKit only) - at least until we move in the new flat,</li>
<li>I love Android back gesture and I miss it a lot on the iPhone,</li>
<li>Android feels playful, but not in a way that makes me addicted to it,</li>
<li>omg proper file system, I missed that!</li>
<li>build quality on 8a vs 14 Plus is no match, iPhone feels expensive and 8a feels - unfortunately? - cheap,</li>
<li>iPhone has better vibration motor but it doesn’t bother me that much, what bothers me is lack of very important notifications on the wrist, missed a couple calls already (can be fixed with getting a smartwatch what will happen eventually because my Apple Watch is getting old.</li>
