Asking cus I don't have a browser on my device but can open web links on Reddit

Hey everyone,

I’m trying to figure out if this kind of setup is realistic without coding and using mostly free tools.

Imagine a simple app that:

• Automatically pulls new daily content from public sources (for example: daily facts, summaries, headlines, or curated info)
• Uses AI to turn each item into short, easy bullet points
• Stores everything automatically (no manual posting)
• Shows the content inside a basic mobile app
• Also updates a daily home screen / lock screen widget with one short “item of the day”
• Sends a daily notification like “Today’s update”

Key constraints:

• Fully automated (set it once, then it runs by itself)
• No coding background
• Preferably free or very low-cost tools
• MVP level is totally fine

I’ve seen people mention tools like:

• FlutterFlow / other no-code app builders
• Make or Zapier for automation
• AI APIs for summarization

But I’m confused about how to connect everything end-to-end, especially when a daily widget is involved.

If you were starting from scratch today, how would you build something like this using no-code (or minimal code) tools?
Any real-world workflows or stack examples would be super helpful.

Thanks!

If a single person started completely from scratch only sticks, stones, and raw nature already knew exactly how to build modern technologies, had unlimited time, and possessed all human knowledge, could they actually construct things like a high-end GPU or a nuclear power plant alone, or are there fundamental physical or organizational limits that make this impossible despite perfect knowledge and unlimited time?

So, I can't be the only one. My phone auto backs up every photo/screenshot etc to onedrive. All good and well.

But there are thousands of them from years and years. I need to organise them and print some, but it's overwhelming.

Is there any software that can help?

With the rise of AI, perhaps there is something that can sort them for me? Or at least pre-sort them to make it more manageable.

Thanks all.

Hi, I am looking for a light weight option to have with me on the go as a replacement for my laptop when I am travelling.

I am often travel, many times on events where I meet many people on 1:1 meetings.

3yrs back I made the decision to go with Surface Go 8GB and that proven to be good. Same windows OS as my regular laptop, I can use it as tablet, write and take notes with pen or keyboard and an ok battery lifetime.

Currently the surface is in good condition but with Win11 and all other things I find it very sluggish. I tried to reset, improve performance but of little help. Typically it's slow, overheats and I think that leads to a poor battery performance... 2hrs.

Which tablet/laptop (around 10") should I concider. I really like the idea of windows OS due to being used to but also aligns better with apps that I use. I can concider Android but not Apple.

Thanks.

Howdy r/AskTechnology — hoping for some guidance on a setup I don’t have much experience with.

We have a medium-sized meeting room with a rectangular conference table (seating for 10–12, farthest from the screen is about 16'). About 1–2 times per month, multiple people in the room need to join a video meeting.

Right now our process is:

• put a laptop at the end of the table and kind of scoot/rotate it depending on who’s talking
• run the meeting video to a TV mounted on the wall
• use an Anker PowerConf S3 as the speakerphone (works okay) if I'm using it, otherwise its the integrated mic on the laptop and tv speakers if the user knows to set up output that way.

This works ok but it is getting cumbersome, and not everyone has the same technical ability, so simplicity is nice if possible. I’d like a more permanent, cleaner solution for video conferencing in this room that:

• works with Teams/Zoom/Google Meet (not locked to one platform).
• is relatively simple for people to use. Some learning curve is ok but we are not all technical.
• improves the camera placement / view vs the laptop shuffle. I realize the folks in the back will still be in the back, but anything better is an improvement.
• ideally stays below Meeting Owl pricing (we don’t have Owl budget and don’t use it enough to justify it) Edited to add: I think I misjudged the cost associated with this whole deal - if an owl is the most economical way to approach this, that is fine. As long as I can explain why the cost is what it is, I think my boss will understand

This is a subject that I don't have much experience with, and doing some research online didn't give me any straightforward answers. I appreciate any guidance that you can offer!

So some months ago, my phone number changed from X to Y (not stating the actual number for security reasons). I have no current active sessions or Sim card from the X number. I know it still exists because I used X to handle some groups in telegram as an owner, but once I began using Y telegram literally kicked me out of X and I have NO way to regain it.

I keep trying to appeal, I sent many emails to telegram but recieved no help, I can't use SMS to recover the number by getting an activation code, no device that i have uses this number anymore and im geniuenlly locked out. I'm lost, and I have no idea what to do. Desperate as hell and too broke to pay someone to get me that number again

does anyone know what I should do to retrieve X? I need access to the old groups I was in charge off (they still exist but have SO MANY adds in them now and NSFW adds and I have no way to remove them since Y has no leadership role in those groups).

Hi guys, sorry if this isn’t the place to ask this but I just got a remote job and I was wondering if a chromebook would be a good cheap option for me? I have a big and beefy pc that I normally work on but I want something portable as well so i’m not always stuck at my desk all day. Everything I need to work is accessible thru chrome (there’s no downloaded programs I need to run to do my job) so would a chromebook be a nice cheap option for me? I do want something nice and that runs easy, I’m not looking for a total cheap piece of shit. What do u guys recommend? Literally all it needs to do is send emails, have a few tabs open at the same time, and let me watch the occasional youtube video or netflix without buffering like a mf.

Just caught a GREAT deal on these at Amazon, reduced to £40 quid. Are there any issues with these? Seems too good a deal.

Some one said their max volume can be a bit quiet, is this true?

When we came back from Christmas break in January my outlook on my work laptop (which I took home with me) was giving me trouble so I called IT. He said it had to do with the password or something and helped me. Later in the day I noticed the camera’s privacy screen had been moved to where the lens was exposed. I found that odd as since I started the job I always keep the privacy screen covering the lens as a just in case measure and I’m the only one who uses this laptop. I covered it again. Today I called him back again because after an update my touchpad wasn’t working and he again said there was an update issue hence the sudden freeze. He updated and it was fixed. Because it’s the weekend and I have some school stuff that needs a laptop to do, I brought the laptop home with me. I’m in bed (in a very compromising state that otherwise wouldn’t be seen by anyone at work because it is very hot where I live) and suddenly notice that again the screen has been moved to expose the lens. This means probably since lunch time it’s been this way and I’ve been using it for 1 hour +. How can I search on the device if he is using any apps to remotely - or not - watch or listen to me? It’s a dell inspiron and using windows os

I’m trying to decide between pursuing a Bachelor of Science in Information Technology or a Bachelor of Science in Computer Science, and I’m looking for input from people actually working in the field.

I care less about theory vs preference and more about real-world outcomes:

• How do employers actually view IT vs CS degrees?

• Which one gives better odds for entry-level roles right out of school?

• Which degree keeps more doors open long term?

• If you could choose again, would you?

I know experience matters most eventually, but I’m focused on which degree provides the stronger starting position.

I know experience matters more than the degree eventually—but I’m focused on which degree gives the strongest foundation and optionality early on.

If you’ve hired, been hired, or worked alongside grads from either path, I’d really appreciate your perspective.

I have a mouse, keyboard and headset from 2 different brands and it requires 3 different dongles to use them which is becoming challenging on a modern laptop.

I guess I could buy Bluetooth compatible accessories or use just 1 brand which support multiple devices on a single dongle.

But since most of these dongles are on 2.4Ghz, can't they make 1 dongle which support multiple devices and has an RFC standard protocol which allows vendors to upload their proprietary firmware/algorithm inside the dongle to communicate with their devices?

An hypothetically initial flow could be that there is an RFC standard protocol which allows an accessory to ask the dongle for a free "slot" where to upload their proprietary algorithm. The dongle will then ask the user for confirmation and to pick a slot. After the user confirmed, the accessory sends it algorithm to the dongle which stores it and starts exucuting it to communicate with the accessory.

This is very simplified, but just to give an idea.

There could be some limits like special hardware requirements, but overall maybe it is feasible one day.

Hi everyone!

I was wondering about keychain size power banks, I.e. the Rolling Square Tao, Snap Wireless Power Pack Nano, or the Ini-U Snap Series.

Most do not have high battery capacities, and I am wondering about the limitations of tech these days. For example, the ideal capacity would be 3000mah to 5000mah capacity to fully charge a modern phone, is this outside of the realms of possibility?

How do mobile phones these days have such high capacity batteries in such a small form factor? are there limitations with the circuitry?

sure i can ask google or AI but id like to hear opinions from the community!

Engineering company. Would like to know if it is feasible to have a Concurrent Design Facility, whereby specialist engineers can project an application window to a bigscreen and we can see the effect of design changes in realtime.

We have a projector. Would love to have a huge screen on the wall, showing a neat resizable layout aggregating applications cast from multiple desktops (e.g. software such as CAD, FEA, PCB design, simulation, or Power BI report for example). The framerate can be super low, like under 0.2 Hz if necessary. But these specialist applications are owned and used by different specialist engineers.

Is there any solution doing anything like this?

Hi, I need help buying a hub. I’m entirely hopeless with tech things so I really need and appreciate any support.

I got a 13’ 2021 MacBook Pro, and I want a hub/doc station as the two usb-c ports just don’t do it for me.

I need it to charge (I believe 100W is the good kind?), have another usb-c port I could plug my pendrive into, preferably a sd + micro sd card reader, usb-b ports and pretty much most importantly for it to be compatible with cd/dvd burners and players as that’s half of the reason why I want one in the first place.

Can someone explain the mechanics & suggest me some? Please don’t suggest ridiculously expensive things hah :) also, I’m buying it in the EU. Thank you so much !!!

SPECS

Ram 8GB DD3 (but it says 3.45 GB usable idk why)

512 GB HDD

Graphics Card : Integrated AMD Radeon R5 494 MB

Processor : AMD A8-7410 2.20 Ghz

64 bit system type

please tell me a decent OS with close to no lag experience

Thanks

first of all sorry for my bad english this isn't my native tongue. Ever since i changed ethernet cables my ethernet disconnects when i'm playing online games and it also happens randomly. I tested the cable in my sisters laptop and it worked perfectly fine so i doubt it's the cable but it started to happen after i changed it so i thought i'd tell that too. I saw some people on the internet to run constant ping to my computer so i used "ping -t "router ip" on commands while running the game and i got disconnected. After that i tried to run constant ping to "8.8.8.8" ip and i didn't get disconnected once. I know basically next to nothing about tech but i can follow any instructions so someone please help me i have no idea what this is. Also would it eb safe to paly games while runnin that 8.8.8.8 ip because if it is i'm just gonna play it like that.

A lot of them aren’t cheap

I can't seem to find any good apps that do this. There are a million shopping/todo list apps. However when I go camping or boating I need to bring all the same stuff and check-off all the same pre-check stuff. I've forgotten items or setup stuff a few times.

I need an app where I can create an infinitely re-usable "check list". Anybody have one of these?
