USB Cable check

Hello altogether, I guess everybody has some USB-C cables lying around, but wonder if it's 3A, 5A, 3.0, TB... Anybody able to recomment a device able to determine that? Maybe also something that can be combined with a load tester.

Dedicated phone for mapping?
  • I have a Samsung Galaxy S21 FE which has a lange screen and battery (it works fine for me, only charging to 85%). I have a bulkier spigen case on it, and have dropped it several times yet, no damage.

    I have been thinking about buying an S23 Ultra or a Galaxy fold, but I would just risk to destroy more money.

    If I would buy an additional device it would be a used 10" tablet for mapping.

    Also an interesting approach would be a #NexDock which I never tried, but might even work like a tablet but as screen and input device for my existing phone, which would make switching during mapping more easy.

    At the moment I only do #StreetComplete on the go, and maybe #mapcomplete while sitting in a restaurant for example.

  • Nextcloud vs Syncthing for PKM notes?
  • I am using Joplin on Syncthing with 3 devices I have edited one note on both devices before syncing, so the note got duplicated. (Joplin is syncing to a folder, then the folder gets synced). This takes a little longer to get synced if I boot and open Joplin directly (as Joplin's first sync still syncs the outdated files). But mostly works fine.

    I am also using Joplin on 2 devices and sync them over WebDav (on NextCloud). As I am editing 99% on one device only, I cannot tell you much about it.

    If you are working offline some time I would try syncthing first. I have set my phone to auto usb tether so it would always sync when connected.

    P71 battery replacement

    So I ordered a replacement battery from a big eBay seller branded #CameronSino, as I could not find a genuine one anywhere.

    But after the laptop is in my bag for some hours, I can turn on the laptop but there is no left capacity reportet. After reinstalling the battery, everything will be fine.

    Anybody has an idea which manufacturer to chose? #Lenovo #Thinkpad #P71
