New post on my blog!

So, 2 days ago I was with my Girlfriend at How to Train Your Dragon in the cinema and I must say, we left it very happy. They did a great job making the actor version.

When it comes to new live action releases, people often say they are bad because film studio decided to change the skin color of the character etc. I mostly agree with that, but only because I feel like live actions should be a faithful reproduction of the original source.

In the new HtTYD they decided to not do that and I think they made a good decision. The cast for main characters is amazing! But do not be fooled. That doesn't mean that there's no minorities in the movie. There is a scene that introduces couple of characters that are minorities in a way that fits the story and lore. I think that's the correct way to do it. It stays true to the original while still introducing minorities to the film. Great move!

Other than that I must say that the special effects were great and the CGI dragons fits good with the human actors. If you have some free time, I recommend going to the cinema and watching it, or waiting until it's available on the streaming services.

My website is under migration right. I've changed the hosting and DNS so for some of you it might not work for the next 24 hours.

On the Cloudflare and AdGuard DNS it works for sure.

Just found that #samsung phones have something called a grip sensor. It can detect a hand even without touching your phone and it has been present from at least the Galaxy S7.

But what does it do? I have no idea and neither do other people on the Internet. Do you have any thoughts?

Samsung's official claim from 2017 is that it's used for some gestures, but as far as I know, there are no settings to program any gestures, so I wonder what is the purpose of this sensor and why it's still present in modern Galaxy phones. Maybe it has something to do with the extended unlock feature? Phone won't password lock until you're holding it or something?
