Is there a way to chose different number of posts for différent for pc and responsive using the post widget without the hassle of duplicating the section and hiding on desktop etc?
You can use PHP projects like https://github.com/serbanghita/Mobile-Detect to make checks on your server but it will generate false positives in some cases. I've implemented that in custom widgets to deliver different content. Until know no complaints :-) But it is not implemented in Elementor by default so you'll need PHP knowledge to create a custom widget. Then you can output different posts for different devices. If you can't do that: you have to use the switches

Send an SMS in Laravel Using Vonage
In this particular example, we are using the (jenssegers/agent) package to determine the user's browser. For the purpose of the article, we'll make the assumption that the Agent::browser call returns "Firefox". So, our user should now have received an SMS saying: "You have now registered for My Amazing App using Firefox!"

Also, is there any recommendations to filter a bot request out? I've seen a few packages that does something like " $agent->isRobot();", (jenssegers/agent), but I don't know how good it is and if you have any recommendations I will be grateful.
