Sandbox overview March 16-22

Hello% username%. Before the new year, dreddik came up with an interesting initiative of weekly sandbox reviews. And today, tore away from idleness and having re-read all the articles, I remembered the sandbox and decided to make such a review. I chose the most interesting in my opinion articles and I want to present them to you. In fact, articles from the new year has accumulated very, very much. There are frankly weak ones, there are very decent ones, but I don’t see the point of reviewing all the articles in a row, it’s time-consuming, and reading the review will be tiresome. I want to make a short survey to understand whether it is necessary to continue doing such reviews.

I personally tried to repeat the instructions, but so far something did not work out, although I have Huawei E173.
