Peccato che ormai il premio miglior film animazione 2024 è praticamente già assegnato a questo capolavoro che ha avuto quasi 2 milioni di euro in fondi pubblici https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=bWMrNmFI-mc

Now they aren’t even using the excuse “but under the hospital there was a single Hamas member, so it warranted killing 100 kids”

TL;DR: app archiving, useless gemini shit, improvement for the 1% that own a foldable

Simply replace localhost:3000 with the original domain https://www.sega60th.com/

What I’ve been doing:

Easy option: because I only have around 40gb of music, I sync it between my PC and my phone using syncthing since 128gb is the minimum nowadays

Hard option: streaming is cooler so I installed nextcloud with an optional plugin called “music” which allows to connect an app called “ultramusic” and it becomes “self hosted Spotify” with android auto support and all the bells and whistles. Disadvantage: Nextcloud is a moving target. For some reason they have to release new incompatible versions every two or three months. So for plugin developers this is a very annoying upgrade threadmill that eventually leads to burnout and that plugin dies. Even officially supported plugins sometimes don’t support the latest version when they launch it. If you choose to use nextcloud with docker, make sure to stay behind 1-2 versions (tag nextcloud:28 when nextcloud:30 is released) or your plugins might suddenly break without any warning. According to fanboys this is the industry standard nowadays and it’s up to the user to manually check the GitHub issues of each of the 30 plugins if it’s compatible before updating. Even if it’s official plugin. They call it “stable” but they mean “beta testing for the paid enterprise version”.

It’s incredible that they still have the same bug of last year when it tries to redirect you to localhost:3000 after logging in with steam

Unfortunately the hardware is so closed that even themselves can’t reset the software for refurbishing

https://www.theverge.com/2024/8/7/24211339/humane-ai-pin-more-daily-returns-than-sales

Once a Humane Pin is returned, the company has no way to refurbish it, sources with knowledge of the return process confirmed. The Pin becomes e-waste, and Humane doesn’t have the opportunity to reclaim the revenue by selling it again.

You phone doesn’t have the low-res laser projector gimmick that is invisible in daylight, runs extremely hot and drains the battery in one hour

Whatsapp it’s blocked countrywide so it’s not going to be a problem (although I found out that some cell stations nearby tourist points aren’t blocking that)

In China is easy. Once you give some millions to tencent/Alibaba/Baidu/bytedance (or having the government force them to do so) for porting their apps, it’s all a Chinese citizen needs.

There are many apps that are actually “mini apps” (a WebView inside tencent WeChat)

When you enter China you need to register with the customs using said “mini app” in WeChat

90% of users exclusively use WeChat, alipay, Baidu, taobao, amaps, douyin (TikTok), xiaohongshu.

Maybe some could find useful to also have Weibo and pinduoduo (temu malware) but the “must have” apps are really a handful, it’s not like in the west

The fact that suddenly it went to watch a leisure website during work… did they use stolen screen recordings from human activity for training? Like if some corporation allowed them to record all the activity of their employees for training

I would have never imagined that the SOC of a high end smartphone set to release in 2026 is going to use the same process node of the SOC of a smartphone released in 2024

This is really a scoop

I went back to watch my Facebook since years and I scrolled and scrolled. 24 sponsored posts before seeing a post from someone that I knew! And it was a post from someone out of the country who did a 1 week workshop with me ten years ago (=someone that I barely know). Next post is from a schoolmate after 21 sponsored posts. Need to-scroll through another 21 sponsored posts to find another real post. Again from someone who I barely know (the teacher of that workshop where I went ten years ago)

How can people enjoy this shit? They actually enjoy watching ads?

Wow, i tried it, it’s like an Easter egg. Not only this swipe is nowhere mentioned in the UI, but it only works when applied over the digits, anywhere else on the screen makes a button press

Bene, e anche da noi bisognerebbe anche iniziare a usare la parola omicidio se il conducente è ubriaco, spostando la colpa completamente al criminale

Titoli come Incidente Palermo, ubriaca alla guida si scontra con un’auto: morti un bimbo di 16 mesi e Selma El Mouakit (20 anni) sono inaccettabili, dovrebbero essere come “uomo uccide una madre e bimbo innocenti usando la propria auto”.

Edit: e se qualcuno pur non essendo ubriaco guida da pazzi tipo a 100 in città, allora ci devono essere aggravanti. Ad esempio quello youtuber che guidava un SUV da 3 tonnellate in città a 100 kmh, quello è omicidio volontario. Si è messo a sedere al volante del mostro e, essendo in piene capacità cognitive, ha deciso che se fosse spuntato qualcuno nel suo percorso, sarebbe stato colpito e probabilmente ucciso. Equivalente a sparare a caso con un kalashnikov in una piazza

Found the aosp calculator from android donut https://github.com/unrarp/material-calculator

iOS users, welcome to 2014

Wow the swiping to delete is the bomb!!!

You swipe on the delete key, select the text and then it’s gone!

Wow I missed this feature from the days of blackberry 10 when a swipe to the left deleted the last word

Now I only need “swipe up to capital letters”

A friend showed me the “revolutionary” calculator in iOS 18. It can now show the full formula!

I was like… “This is the standard in Android since cupcake”

Do I remember right? Does anyone remember if in any point of the history of the Android aosp calculator behaved like a dumb calculator from the 80s? For reference, the calculator in iOS < 17 can show at most 10 digits and replaces the digits on screen at each press, for example, if you type 1+2=, first you see 1, then 2, then 3, with no history and no backspace. Even the calculator in Windows 3.1 has the backspace!

Yes but it’s still better than nothing. Especially if the alternative is Termux+finely tuned power profile with Tasker. Install F-Droid to auto-update and then is set and forget

Mi pare una scusa inventata. È una app per utenti esperti che non hanno alcun problema a usare fdroid. Non c’è motivo a sottostare alle regole di google, non è che è indispensabile per monetizzazione o altro
