Traps in Bash – simple pages

AI company Xiao-I, which maintains the Hua Zang LLM and a variety of other tools mostly intended for healthcare industry use, has released their Hearview line of augmented reality glasses. They're about $2000 and provide live audio captions projected into the wearer's field of vision (and phone transcripts).

Hey fedi people!

Check out this cool setup I have:
An Android phone runs a VNC server on a local network, I connect to
it from a laptop and can do basically anything without even touching
the phone (except for booting it up). It is now unnecesary to bloat
my laptop with all the junk a web browser requires to work.

Apps used:
vncviewer (from tigervnc package)
droidVNC-NG (it's on f-droid)
