What free Android emulator do YOU use on Windows for running F-Droid APKs?
John Doe is a known troll: nymshifter, starts bait threads, insulting or
flippant replies, attacks respondents that don't agree, feeds other trolls, cross-posts into dump/garbage/unrelated groups. |

John Doe is a known troll: nymshifter, starts bait threads, insulting or flippant replies, attacks respondents that don't agree, feeds other trolls, cross-posts into dump/garbage/unrelated groups. Oh. OK. I'll plonk him then. I thought he was serious at first, but then he went off the edge pretty quickly. I'll stop responding to him. Thanks for responding to my list of Android apps, where, I hadn't thought about it much before you responded, but you proved to me that there's really not a whole lot on Android that isn't already on Windows. The one thing, I think, Android has over Windows, is the *simplicity* of some apps, such as the sandtimer hourglass egg timer apps. https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.alaskalinuxuser.hourglass I have never found that simplicity on Windows yet. |

Oh. OK. I'll plonk him then. I thought he was serious at first, but then he went off the edge pretty quickly. I'll stop responding to him. I don't delete unwanted posts. I flag them as Ignored and then use a Hide Ignored default view that hides ignore-flagged posts (and their subthreads - if I don't care to see some posters then I also don't want to see replies to them). If someone mentions something in a hidden post, I can simply switch to the All Messages view. Sometimes I also switch to the All Messages view to check my filters are working without false positives. My client lets me test on all headers (overview and non-overview) versus other clients that only let you test on the overview headers, plus I get to use regex (regular expressions) to better focus my filters on the targets to reduce false positives; however, false positives do happen so I may have to tweak my regex filters, plus trolls will nymshift or sockpuppet so I need to see all messages to make sure the regex is more accurate. I was checking my filters for false positives by using the All Messages view when I saw you started to get snagged by John Doe. As with all trolls, sometimes they forget to troll or decide to nice for an hour or two. That is, even trolls might [accidentally] help. Hard to be nasty all the time. Someone wanted to nominate me as a MVP (Microsoft Valuable Professional) for my contributions in Usenet for almost 20 years. Nah, sometimes I decide not to be nice and didn't want to tarnish the MVP community. I declined but appreciated the offer. As you can see, there is no dearth of trolls as evidenced by Burford exposing himself in his reply to me. He took his nym (but [overtly] mispelled the first name) from the the idiot sheriff in "Smokey and the Bandit"; see https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buford_T._Justice and https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=yY13jS9X9Lk. His nym is appropriate and self-condemning. My filter's comment on him: # BurfordTJustice: Floods with drivel/political/racist/flame posts, cross-posts to garbage groups, feeds other trolls, picked a nym to exhibit his deliberate moronity.

While not a robust timer (i.e., a simple one with a basic digital display, no fansy cutsy graphics), I've used FreeWatch for a long time, especially during online tech chats or tech calls to time how long they put me on hold. http://www2.whidbey.net/gordonf/FreeWatch/ It doesn't do much but then I've not needed a timer to do much. I've seen stopwatch programs that let you have multiple timers going. There should be loads of timer and/or alarm programs (some have portable versions so you don't have to install to test the programs). http://www.softpedia.com/dyn-search....rch_term=timer http://www.softpedia.com/dyn-search....rch_term=alarm You might want to see my reply about using AirDroid. That eliminates using an Android emulator and instead runs the Android app on its native platform but lets you view it on your Windows PC. You run the Android app on the smartphone. You can view it on Windows (or any platform and anywhere by using a web browser using their web access method). |

I don't delete unwanted posts. My Usenet interface is comprised of three things: 1. A telnet backend 2. A vi frontend 3. Scripts galore ported over the years from platform to platform I have to manually put someone in my killfile, which is literally a dictionary lookup file (like everything else), so, once I plonk someone (which I rarely do), they're gonna be in there forever. As an aside, you'll understand that a telnet approach to Usenet doesn't care about nntp-related "headers"; headers are just a complication that is randomly pulled out of a dictionary lookup. The dictionary itself is not random, as I have to create those files by hand, but they are simply lines inside of one of the many feeder files: Here's a tiny snippet of the user-agent dictionary lookup, for example: flnews/0.14 (for AIX) Mozilla/5.0 (X11; Linux x86_64; rv:45.0) Gecko/20100101 Icedove/45.5.1 slrn/0.9.8.1 (FreeBSD) tin/1.4.5-20010409 ("One More Nightmare") (UNIX) (SunOS/5.10 (i86pc)) Forte Agent 1.93/32.576 English (American) Xnews/2009.05.01 MicroPlanet-Gravity/3.0.4 XPN/1.2.6 (Street Spirit ; Linux) Thoth/1.9.0 (Mac OS X) Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.3790.1830 etc. Come to think of it, I probably should update that list as they're getting old and that will hurt my anonymity from the aggregator bots. http://www2.whidbey.net/gordonf/FreeWatch/ Nice and simple, I agree. It's a stopwatch, not an alarm timer, but I wasn't clear so that's understandable. I like that it runs on any Windows and that the user interface is fast and clean. At first I wondered why there was a "description" field but then I realized it runs as many as you want concurrently so that's how to tell them apart. It's a keeper for a stopwatch - but not a 10-minute type alarm timer. http://www.softpedia.com/dyn-search....rch_term=timer http://www.softpedia.com/dyn-search....rch_term=alarm Aaauuurrrgggghhh! Lists of lists of lists of lists of lists of lists. The high expense of freeware is in all the mistakes in those lists! You might want to see my reply about using AirDroid. That eliminates using an Android emulator and instead runs the Android app on its native platform but lets you view it on your Windows PC. I saw that, and I appreciate the level of care, concern, and detail you put into your very factual answers. I deplore these types of solutions, where, really, all I really ever wanted was a New Pipe port to Windows. I didn't really "want" to use an emulator - it just happened to be the only solution that would run all of which New Pipe does, in a single app, on Windows. BTW, to prove that I can "learn", I did put AdBlock in my Windows browser and I was amazed at how simple it was to do a before and after of YouTube where those little yellow advertisement bars disappeared! So AdBlock has its place - but I don't generally watch YouTube in a browser, and I generally deplore browser-specific solutions. But it does work. And it is simple. So kudos to AdBlock for that! You run the Android app on the smartphone. You can view it on Windows (or any platform and anywhere by using a web browser using their web access method). I think I used to do that with stuff like Kies and some Samsung Play apps and my Motorola did that long ago (Motorola RAZR - that's how long ago it was), but I deplore that approach philosophically. |
