Hey everyone, I'm looking for a driving journal app, to track when, to/from where and which distance I drive.

Ideally I'd like for it to be FOSS, but if there are decent Closed Source apps I'm ok with it too (I'd just block Network Access in Graphene OS then).

This post (not mine) has pretty much my ideal criteria, but sadly didn't get any answers: https://softwarerecs.stackexchange.com/questions/88349/drivers-logbook-app-for-android-foss

Unlike the above post, I don't want this for tax purposes etc., but rather just to understand where all my distance driven comes from.

Edit: I've done some more research and haven't found anything, for now I'll just use an OnlyOffice spreadsheet. If I find the time, I might try developing an app for this at some point.

Edit 2: After developing my app for a week and then showing it to a friend, he instantly found exactly what I was working on...

I very recently bought a used Pixel 6 with a replacement screen, not thinking too much of it. I even made sure that the screen looked good during pickup.

One thing I missed though, was that apparently my Pixel doesn't have a fingerprint sensor anymore. I did some research, apparently it's quite easy to break the fingerprint sensor (or some places simply just don't include a sensor in the repair?) when replacing the screen.

Today I also noticed (through Show refresh rate in developer options) that my screen will only do 60 Hz as well.

Also I have stupidly high battery drain, I'm not 100% if that's related though.

Long story short, learn from my mistakes and either don't buy a used phone with a replacement screen or carefully test all functionalities associated with the screen, mainly high refresh rate and the fingerprint sensor.

I recently got a Samsung Gear VR and noticed that even though there is a moderately sized subreddit for it, it doesn't have a lemmy presence, so I decided to fix that:

I'm trying to find a way to stream my monitor to Apple TVs in my school via AirPlay. I've already done some research and it seems like there are currently no software solutions, with the closest one being openairplay, however it seems to be pretty dead.

I "need" AirPlay, as my school only uses Apple TVs, and it's quite inconvenient to always bring my HDMI cable and have to hook up to projectors that way.

I'm also open to more scuffed solutions, as I won't be going to that school for much longer. Some things I have thought of so far are:

1. Using my old iPhone 6 (maybe jailbreak it, I don't think that matters here though) and something like deskreen to first cast my laptop screen to the iPhone and then AirPlay from there. I'd expect this to work, but it wouldn't be much less cumbersome than just using HDMI directly, and it would also mean having to carry that iPhone and a charging cable for it with me all the time.
2. Using a Mac OS virtual machine with something like OSX-KVM, then possibly buying a WiFi card with AirPlay support and passing it through to the VM in combination with a similar deskreen solution as in 1. This also seems pretty complicated, and I'm not even sure if it would work at all.

Does anyone here have any experience with this, know of any better solutions (I'm also open to more scuffed solutions), or maybe even tried one of my scuffed methods already?

This isn't a question but rather a solution to a problem I couldn't find anywhere online, apologies if this is the wrong community.

If you have a Lenovo laptop (in my case a T14 thinkpad) and your display dims after about 30 seconds, no matter what you specify in Windows settings, you might have to disable the "Zero-Touch-Lock". You can do this in the Lenovo Vantage Software (in my case called "Lenovo Commercial Vantage") in the menu "Smart Assist".
