I have matlog and I let it record for 10-12 hours. Now I would like to inspect it for any suspicious/irregular entries. The problem is that I have end up with a huge log file with something like 3.5M entries. I found some repetitive entries from an UpdateManager which by removing them I’m now down to 95K entries.

For years I have been using daily Bing wallpaper app which used to automatically fetch the day’s Bing wallpaper and set it for lockscreen and home screen. The home screen wallpaper used to be in “landscape”, i.e. it was scrollable. The latest update has removed the setting for scrollable wallpaper to be set automatically....

I’m into Photography as one of my hobbies, but the curse of using a Sony camera is that they don’t have GPS built into their bodies.
