Finally got myself a ‘new’ phone today, it’s an absolute banger.

No, it’s not an iPhone 15 Pro Max, it’s a Samsung A51 for #webperf testing and it scores less than half an iPhone 7 on Geekbench 😬 you can feel the input lag even during device setup!

Hat tip to @slightlyoff for the recommendation. Worth reading: https://infrequently.org/2024/01/performance-inequality-gap-2024/

One of the fun parts of being a #Linux mirror operator is that you get to deal with China Mobile using ISO download mirrors to fix their traffic ratios with other ISPs at peering points.

Last night was the much anticipated Oxide and Friends bookclub! @bcantrill and I were joined by Greg Cost to discuss Philip Ball's terrific book How Life Works: A User’s Guide to the New Biology.

Good Lord.

Every WiFi network access point that has ever been in range of an iPhone has its network name (SSID) and GPS location (taken from the iPhone) stored and used by Apple.

Apple introduced a way to opt out in March 2024 - you must append the string "_nomap" to your SSID.

"Note that Recall does not perform content moderation. It will not hide information such as passwords or financial account numbers."

The computer, however, will stop you from recording DRM'd content.

Find it fascinating that when faced with drawing safety and security boundaries, the primary beneficiary is not the owner of the device, or the person using it, but random corporations who control the intellectual property rights.

The system doesn't work for you.

3/ If the "we are all at risk of cancer" from #foreverchemicals framing for some reason doesn't bug you, consider the taxpayer costs.

Numbers are staggering.

$64 billion in estimated increased disease burden in a single year.

Meanwhile #3M makes $1.5 billion a year from making the stuff.

And 16,000 of 3M's products still contain the chemical.

While company pledges to wind down manufacture. They haven't stopped.

To date, 3m has not admitted wrongdoing and faced no criminal liability

Months ago I worked on a Dynabook-ish design. At Dr. Kay's suggestion, I looked at e-paper displays and driver boards because they've reached ~60hz refresh rates in certain conditions. At that point I found mostly expensive dev kits and closed source designs meant for mass production licensees.
Today Hackster published an article about Modos and their OSHW driver board that they note can work with many panels. 🎉

If Apple, Google, and Microsoft didn't have entrenched platform monopolies, garbage like the Microsoft "AI" spyware likely wouldn't even get built. The market doesn't want what they're selling, but users have no choice but to take whatever abuse the vendors heap upon them, because they can't easily switch to a better product.

And they have monopolies because the US government won't enforce antitrust laws. All technology is political.

(Don't "Linux" me, I've been running it longer than you've probably been alive, I know what it can and cannot do.)
