      I don’t get it either, but the 3 millilightseconds thing is (I think) a reference to the classic 500-mile email story.

      I’m using Termux on android and I guess that it’s compensating for smaller screen?

      Oh boy is it junk though. It just supports calculation, not conversion or anything fancy

        It supports conversion. It’s almost all I use it for.

    qalculate is really nice. I even use it on Windows Enterprise installs that normally only have the old Windows 8(?) calculator included since the Microsoft Store isn’t a thing. It’s a huge upgrade compared to that POS.

    Qalculate was one of the few Windows apps that I didn’t have to stop using when I switched to Linux.

    It really shined when I used it as a field technician in building automation because it can convert all sorts of units of measurement of pressure, mass, velocity, etc. and we work in both metric and imperial in Canada.

    Of course, it’s also a perfectly serviceable calculator for simple stuff too. I like the history feature a lot.
