Links of the day

I collect cool, interesting links spread all over the web and share them here in daily posts. Hope you enjoy! More of them in the archive.

A phone that’s also a lighter, Engadget. Oukitel’s WP63 is one of those bulky cell phones that people take into the woods, with a giant battery (20,000 mAh), flashlight, and a loud speaker. New this year is that it comes with a lighter, like the ones that used to be in cars. For USD 500.

Motorola Razr Fold announced. Motorola already had foldable phones, but they were small. The Razr Fold is the first large one, similar to Samsung's Galaxy Z Fold7, and features a massive 6,000 mAh battery with new silicon-carbon technology. In Europe, it will cost € 2,000. The device will also have a commemorative edition for the Men's Football World Cup.

Telegram update brings WhatsApp features. Looks like the tables have turned, right? Tags for group members and stickers from photos are two of the new features “inspired” by WhatsApp. There are others, including the use of Telegram for authentication in apps and websites (don't do this).

AI slop images on the Standard Notes website. Riding on the news about the end of Simplenote's development, someone recommended Proton's Standard Notes. I visited the website and… what are those terrible images?

FairScan. A simple, no-frills app for capturing documents with your phone's camera and converting them to *.pdf or image. Free, FOSS, for Android.

10-year anniversary of Stardew Valley. I had no idea it had been that long. Development began in 2012, four years before its release. This video, presented by the game's creator, Eric “ConcernedApe” Barone, shows footage from the beginning, when it was still called “Sprout Valley.”

Walkman.land. A tribute website to the pioneer of music on the go, the Walkman (and similar devices).
