iiinova — where your digital self keeps evolving

A required ClipperOS update is available. Install now?

Do you need a new one? Maybe you can just use a bank card nowadays?

Every iPhone since the first one in 2007 has a sensor to disable the screen when it's next to your face. It's baffling that *any* phone with a touch screen would fail at this.

If you're holding it like a phone, surely it makes sense for the mic to be closest to your mouth.

In 2001 my dad got me a Spanish electronics kit / magazine that came in weekly installments, each issue including more components and circuit ideas to build. In 2022 I put each one of the 1200 pages into a flatbed scanner and uploaded it to Internet Archive: archive.org/details/fg-e...

this is what software developers are agreeing to and it's so obviously ludicrous the second you see it recontextualised

saw a great tip about using a dog training clicker to mark where you mess up a take in an audio recording, because it generates a nice clean pattern in the waveform that makes it easy to spot works great, but my dog is going nuts

All this scraper shit makes things so much harder for well intentioned archivists too.

It goes in the square hole!

I'm coughing and Extremely Tired. It seems impossible to buy covid self-tests in this stupid country anymore so I may have to go to a lab to get tested tomorrow. I doubt I caught something at #Akademy itself, the timing of symptoms doesn't add up. But catching something on the flight back, maybe…

When I see people talk about their AI/agent workflows, my thought is not "that can't possibly work I refuse to believe it", it's "that sounds awful why would I *want* to work like that".

Is it just a secondary backup or do you expect to actually need it back at some point? AWS bandwidth price is $90/TB, vs ~$0 for Backblaze B2...

If you use my GPL'd code without following the terms of the GPL, that's "using it without permission" in the same way as images or music.

I once got on an international flight, and two days after I landed, the airline finally realized they hadn't actually taken my money yet and finally charged my card.

Maybe the RF frontend chip is cooked instead. Maybe data in non-volatile memory gets corrupted in an unfixable way. I don't know the true cause and I'm trying to figure it out. But once the problem happens, cellular stops working at all, it's not just "bad signal".

"Apple says that iPhone 18 Pro Max users who have already lost service will need a hardware replacement"

I doubt the frame material would make a difference in making the modem irrecoverably bricked...

Backups are stored on iCloud (iOS) or Google Drive (Android), not Meta servers. Correct on the rest.

WhatsApp is end-to-end encrypted. If you install Muse it will probably steal your messages from your phone just like your texts from other apps, but they can't intercept your messages in transit.

100

Yes, but it's the same Qualcomm modem as in the iPhone 17 and 17 Pro, yet those are not affected, so that's another weird point in this story...

100

But Apple says if you still have signal and install the update you're fine, and if you already lost signal you need a new phone. Maybe the baseband has its own non-volatile storage and it's getting irrecoverably corrupted? That could match the symptoms better than hardware degradation...

000

If it was hardware degradation or overheating or something like that, then even if a user still has signal and installs the SW update to prevent damage, there would be a chance some damage already happened.

100

This issue is so bizarre. Is the Qualcomm modem frying itself on 5G, and yet Apple is 100% certain the software update fully prevents it from happening?

201

I wonder to what extent this is specific to the extreme flexibility of the f-word, does it happen with other swear words in English?

I can't think of an example of this in Spanish!

Saw this while traveling last week

"Before you criticize somebody else try to keep in mind that you are probably a piece of shit". Phrase spray painted with a stencil on a wall.

What do you mean "too many potatoes" I don't understand that concept

Why do they even have anti cheat?

I once saw some transphobic asshole ask a stranger in a chat "are you a pole or hole" (and get banned), I'm concerned that's what this means

If EAC doesn't make this configurable for game devs, then uhh thanks VRChat for telling me how to bypass EAC in other games? 🤨

industry conferences? in Argentina we just have car wash places that clean it by hand and do a decent job, and car wash places that clean by hand and do a crappy job and are suspiciously cheap because they're actually money laundering

Guess this whole week is a loss. I haven't even finished unpacking yet.

"Your website code is exposed!" it's open source dude

KDE has been dealing for years with clueless people aiming security scanners at websites and finding irrelevant bugs and demanding bounty for it (even though there is no bounty program). AI has made it even worse.

The graph shows a decline comparable to the covid travel restrictions, hence the plague comparison.

I had people ask me if anti-Trump stuff I post would get me in trouble to visit the US, since they apparently scan your social networks nowadays. My answer was "why would I want to visit the US?"
