PiGrid Companion vs Plug Off Airplane
Side-by-side comparison of two open source alternatives
PiGrid Companion
The PiGrid Companion app allows you to find and control your PiGrid device/s easily and comfortably via your Smartphone or Tablet. PiGrid is a platform for Gridcoin currently running on Raspberry Pi. Gridcoin is a cryptocurrency that incentivizes the donation of computational power to scientific projects through BOINC. Find more information at pigrid.com and gridcoin.io. AntiFeatures: * NonFreeNet - This app requires a PiGrid device, which contains proprietary software.
Plug Off Airplane
This is a very simple app that turns off Airplane Mode when the USB cable is plugged in. The idea is to make sure Airplane Mode is turned off at least once a day, in a safe location in terms of metadata: the home. Your telecom already knows your device belongs to its billing address. This makes it easier to use Airplane Mode to disable the cellular radio during the day, when it is not needed.
