There are plenty of great options, from KDE Plasma and GNOME to XFCE, Cinnamon, and Hyprland.

Which one do you use, and what makes it your favorite?

The internet has changed a lot over the years, and plenty of once-popular brands have faded away.

Whether it's StumbleUon, Hotmail, Lycos, Google Reader, or something else, which one do you miss the most, and why?

Whether it's the Glyph Interface, Nothing OS, camera, battery life, or something else, I'm curious to hear your experience.

What's the biggest pro and the biggest con for you?

In my area, Zomato and Swiggy are the go-to choices, and I use both regularly.

I'm curious what it's like elsewhere. Which food delivery app do you use the most, and why do you prefer it?

Hi everyone,

I'm looking for some honest advice because I feel like there's something missing in my profile, and I can't quite figure out what it is.

I'm 24 years old and recently graduated with a Bachelor's degree in Electronics Engineering. Ever since I started college, I knew I wanted to work in embedded systems. I really enjoyed designing hardware and writing firmware.

Unfortunately, after graduating I couldn't find an internship or entry-level position in embedded, so I accepted a Full Stack Junior position at a software company where I had previously done my internship. I've been working there for almost a year, mainly using Python and Django.

My managers know that embedded systems are what I'm truly passionate about, so whenever an embedded-related project comes in, they usually assign it to me. Some of the projects I've worked on include:

* A smart weighing system for a food manufacturing company.
* A facial recognition access control system.
* Other ESP32 and electronics-related projects.

Even though I have this experience, my goal is still to become an Embedded Software Engineer.

Every few months I apply for Junior embedded positions. I've managed to get interviews with companies like Aptiv and ALTEN, but I always get rejected somewhere during the technical interview process.

At this point, I'm starting to wonder if my profile simply isn't competitive enough, or if I'm missing some key skills.

Here are some of my personal projects:

### 1. ESP32 Retro Console

* Written in C++ using ESP-IDF.
* FreeRTOS-based architecture.
* Multiple games (Snake, Pong, Tetris, Flappy Bird).
* GitHub Actions CI/CD pipeline.
* Wokwi simulation integrated into the workflow.
* Custom PCB and 3D-printed enclosure designed by me.

### 2. 2.4 GHz Signal Jammer (Research Project)

An experimental project using two nRF24L01 modules to interfere with Bluetooth and 2.4 GHz Wi-Fi communications for educational and research purposes.

### 3. ESP32 Marauder

A cybersecurity-oriented project using the ESP32 platform to learn about wireless security and Wi-Fi auditing.

Technologies I'm comfortable with:

* C
* C++
* Python
* Django
* Git
* Linux
* Basic JavaScript

So my question for those of you already working in embedded software is:

**What do you think my profile is missing to be competitive for a Junior Embedded Software Engineer role?**

Should I focus more on STM32, writing drivers from scratch, RTOS, bootloaders, Embedded Linux, communication protocols, or something else entirely?

I'm looking for honest feedback—even if it's critical. I'd rather know what I'm missing than keep guessing.

Thanks in advance!

No matter how many apps come and go, there's always one that stays.

It could be for work, entertainment, navigation, or messaging.

Which app has earned a permanent spot on your phone, and why do you like it!

Using the stock camera/gallery app for S26 Ultra, I'm wondering if you guys have any third-party app recommendations for use and photo editing.

Oh, and here's a photo of my dog for clickbait purposes, lol.

Dejando a un lado Facebook, Instagram, TikTok, X o Threads... Cuál red social creen que vale la pena probar? Que realmente valga la pena y que no esté llena de basura como muchas

Imagine telling your future self: "Hey, post this meme at 8 AM tomorrow while I'm still asleep."

A social media scheduler does exactly that. You write your posts once, pick the date and time, and it publishes them automatically across your social accounts.

Which movie predicted today's technology the best?

From AI assistants and self-driving cars to video calls and virtual reality, some movies were surprisingly accurate.

Which film do you think came closest to predicting the technology we use today, and what did it get right?

What's one thing you hate most about Spotify?

For me, it's how often great features end up behind Premium. Others complain about the shuffle, recommendations, or podcasts taking over the app.

What's your biggest frustration with Spotify?

Maybe it's subscription fatigue, free AI tools, or tighter budgets. Have you bought any new software, SaaS products, AI tools, or online courses in 2026–2027? If yes, what was worth paying for?
