I use an Android e-reader (the Likebook P6) and I'm so frustrated by the lack of a good read-it-later app. This chart lays out the shortcomings of current apps.

Pocket used to be good but they dropped support for page turning.

Does anyone have a good app for saving and reading articles on e-ink screens?

There's an Omnivore beta app that supports page turning (great!!) but... for some reason, I can't adjust the fonts on my tablet. (I have this issue with the official Ominvore app, too.) And the Omnivore app doesn't auto-download articles?!?! I have to be online to load each article when I open it, and only then can I go offline. Pocket and Wallabag don't work this way; they'll download all your articles at once and you can read them all later, even if offline.

Are there any other options???

New York has a great gallery scene, and every Thursday you can attend gallery openings. But finding out which galleries are hosting events can be a little archaic: The only sites that list openings are really old, and they don't offer any way to subscribe (say, via RSS).

You know what would be great? A Google Calendar that's updated with all the best art gallery openings. For starters, it could source from these sites:

• ArtNet
• NewYorkArtWorld
• ArtCards.CC

Can someone make this *please *so I can subscribe to it?

There's a great newsletter called nonsense nyc that lists great, off beat events for the coming week.

But it's only available as a newsletter, which is kinda annoying. I'd love to have it as a Google Calendar.

I could manually take the events from nonsense and add each one to my calendar, but that's a chore. Does anyone know a good way to automate it?

I've just started using Brave on Linux (distro info at bottom) and I have a question about keyboard shortcuts & how the browser manages active windows, because it seems to be doing something different from my last browser.

I usually use Firefox, and I've set it up so that I can open a new tab with the Mail key on my keyboard. Pressing my Mail key executes this command, opening a new tab.

xdotool getactivewindow key ctrl+t

But now I've switched to Brave browser, and that command no longer works. When I've got Brave open and I press my Mail key, nothing happens.

I've tried alternate commands:

xdotool key ctrl+t

and

xdotool getwindowfocus key ctrl+t

but no result. Does anyone know how to fix? What is Brave doing with its browser tabs/windows?

Thank you!

My laptop is getting a little old, but I love it and I don't want to replace it. This means: Dongles.

You know what the worst part of dongle life is? Digging through my bag trying to find the little f*ckers. You know what would be easier? If I could just mount my dongles onto the lid of my laptop and then pull them off when I need them. Maybe some kind of a rubber mount, so it's firm enough to keep them in place, but flexible enough that I can remove the dongle when I need it. Crude mockup here.

If oriented correctly, the dongles won't protrude that much, so my laptop will still fit inside a sleeve/case/etc. I'm currently using a phone mount on the back of my laptop and it hasn't made anything worse in that way.

Can someone make this, please?

The dongles that I need to mount:

• USB-A male to USB-C female
• Mini DisplayPort male to HDMI female

For years, I've used a CSS trick to move my window controls (Minimize, Fullscreen, Close) from the Menu Bar into the lower toolbar, right beside my Overflow menu. (I'm on Windows 10, so these are the controls you see in the upper right window)

But suddenly, that doesn't work. My window controls are back up in the Menu Bar. That's unfortunate, because I usually hide my Menu Bar.

Can anyone review my code and tell me what needs to change? Thank you!
