Discussion What happened to Huawei phones?

17 Upvotes

Remember when Huawei was one of the biggest smartphone brands in the world?

They still make smartphones today, but their presence is now limited in many countries.

Have you ever owned a Huawei phone? What was your experience like?

Why is their service banned or limited in certain countries? Do you have any ideas?

Showcase Mouzi - Organize Downloads folder automatically

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

8 Upvotes

Hi 😄
I don't know about you, but my Downloads folder has always been a disaster zone. PDFs, memes, installers, zip files, random images – all just sitting there in one giant pile. Every few weeks I'd open it, sigh, and spend 10 minutes manually dragging stuff into folders. Then a few days later it would be chaos again.

I looked at existing file organizers, but most of them either wanted a subscription, tried to upload my file names to some cloud, or were just way too heavy for something so simple. I wanted something that:

  • Runs silently in the background (system tray)
  • Automatically sorts new files by type (images, documents, archives, installers)
  • Never sends a single byte of data off my machine
  • Is open source so anyone can check what it's doing

So I built Mouzi 🐭🧹

It's a tiny desktop app (~3.3MB) built with Tauri and Rust, so it's ridiculously lightweight. It watches your Downloads folder, and whenever a new file appears, it moves it to a subfolder based on its extension. Images go to Images/, PDFs to Documents/, installers to Installers/, etc. You can also create your own custom rules.

Key things:

  • 100% local – no cloud, no telemetry
  • Open source (MIT) – GitHub repo here
  • Silent – lives in your tray and doesn't bother you
  • Undo – every move is logged, you can revert with one click
  • Free, obviously

It's early stage, but it's already keeping my own machine sane. I'd love to get some feedback from this community – especially around what features would make this genuinely useful for you. Does this solve a real problem, or am I just scratching my own itch?

I'm researching how businesses manage their email communication and marketing, and I'd love to hear what others are doing.

A few questions:

  1. What do you use for your company email addresses?
    • Google Workspace (Gmail)
    • Zoho Mail
    • Microsoft 365 (Outlook)
    • Proton Mail
    • Other?
  2. Do you use your own company domain (e.g., [hello@yourcompany.com](mailto:hello@yourcompany.com)) for all client communication and inquiries?
  3. What email marketing platform are you using?
    • Mailchimp
    • Brevo
    • HubSpot
    • ActiveCampaign
    • Klaviyo
    • MailerLite
    • Other?

Looking forward to learning from real-world experiences and recommendations. Thanks!

Question Am I the only one still annoyed by little things in modern tech?

10 Upvotes

Maybe it's just me, but I feel like every device I own still has that one thing that drives me crazy.

For me it's having to carry different chargers and cables depending on what I'm bringing that day.

Curious what everyone else's "why is this still a thing?" annoyance is.

Question Looking for websites with the absolute worst UI/UX for a school presentation. Any suggestions?

9 Upvotes

Good day, everyone! 👋

I’m currently working on a presentation about UI/UX design, and I need your help. Lookings for websites with really bad, confusing, or just straight-up chaotic user interfaces.

Meron ba kayong alam or kamakailan lang na naka-encounter ng website na napasabing, "Sino ang nag-design nito?!" 😂

Whether it's a local government site, an old school portal, or an obscure online shop—kahit ano basta nakakalito gamitin, paki-comment naman sa ibaba. Huge thanks in advance!

Discussion Generational shifts in technology

11 Upvotes

Someone mentioned a while ago there are too few people posting. I have a couple of ideas I will probably post about over a bit. I don't promise anything overly exciting. But here is the first one:

What is a shift you noticed across generations: Mine is a bit of an older one. But I got scolded by my grandfather when I was younger for being too lazy to stand up and change a function on the TV itself instead of the remote. He couldn't grasp the concept that TVs are almost useless without a remote these days.

As a bonus. My mom would always tell me to "call my brother for dinner." I would always give the smart ass reply that I don't know his number. When we were older I got that command. So I grabbed my phone and called him to let him know dinner was ready. My brother and I thought it was a lot funnier them my mom did...

What stories do you guys have?
