What’s better with a drop down terminal vs a normal terminal invoked with global short key?

It’s a genuine question, never heard about drop down terminal and looked it up. As I understand they are just normal terminal with a visual effect when they open. Am I missing something?

Syncthing has it’s own web interface which any web browser can connect to.
For more information refer to syncthing documentation and configuring section. More specifically for the GUI : An Intro to the GUI

It’s only meant to manage when syncthing is running and notify about running state. Native syncthing webui interface is good and I don’t understand why some apps bother to implement their own.
Personnally, no matter if it’s on my phone ot desktop, I only use webui. So on Android it’s exactly what I need.

On android, imho, there is only 2 alternatives : marcus syncthing tray and syncthing fork.
I would say first one is too complex and don’t have a good UI for phone.
Second one is now developed after original dev (catfriend) handed it’s repo. Communication about this change has been quite obscure and circonstances are not clear, especially when new owner was without previous history. A lot of people think it’s shaddy. It has been several months now and I don’t know what’s the consensus now!

With smartphones current prices and componants becoming more expensive they are realizing not a lot of people will buy a smartphone costing more than 1500 dollars. Especially when hardware is now good enough and people are starting to try to keep their phone as long as possible.

Making you rent your phone allow to hide how much it’s going to cost you and ensure them a steady cash income.

I would add it’s often more up to date than distro repositories. It is especially nice when you have long been awaiting a feature and it’s finally available.

AV2 vs AV1: What the Next-Gen Video Codec Brings to the Table

Or older article but more comprehensive : AV1 vs AV2 Video Codec: 7 Key Differences You Need to Know. It’s key takeaways :

AV2 delivers 30% better compression efficiency than AV1, which already compresses 30% better than HEVC (H.265).

AV2 encoding demands 2-3 times more computational power than AV1, requiring advanced hardware like RTX 5090 for practical use.

AV2 will officially release by end of 2025, with widespread hardware support expected around 2027 or later.

AV2 introduces advanced features like split-screen delivery, enhanced AR/VR support, and dynamic bitrate switching for adaptive streaming.

88% of AOMedia members plan to implement AV2 within two years, despite infrastructure and hardware compatibility challenges.

Feeder on Android. Default choice I would say.
