Make things more personal by using your device's name instead of "this device":

Turns out this uses the static hostname. Not sure if there's a way to get pretty name without creating a whole dbus

Note: could be trouble to translate this to Hungarian: it would sound very unnatural to write this without a definite article. The problem is, in Hungarian there are two definite articles & their usage depends on the first letter of the word after it (in this case, the host name) - before a consonant it's "a", before a vowel it's "az". A common but ugly way to write it is "a(z)", another suboptimal way is to write "the following: <hostname>".
Not meaning to criticize the changes, there is a bunch of occurences of strings in any software that require the above (or even worse) workarounds, just thought I would share a quick fyi that you might consider anytime you need to write a copy 🙏🏻
