I’m more of a funk guy, but I agree with the sentiment

Yeah, 8.1 took like 800 megs ootb, while 10 wanted about 3 gigs to itself (not sure about earlier versions, tho; mb enshitification happened gradually)

this is false

So far

Applies anything too “smart” for its own good. Too many cases of those having obvious backdoors like trying to reverse ssh home, not to mention stupidest vulnerabilities imaginable nobody fixes

I literally can’t imagine how boring of a life one should live to care if sb they don’t even know had an abortion or bathes while not cosplaying a tent. Those nutjobs should get a hobby or something.

Well, duh. Antisocial media needs ppl to keep consuming to keep consuming to generate ad revenue. Currently far right are the trending clowns, so that’s one explanation. Another’s that twatter has always been a cesspool, while tiktok just shows whatever’s popular among brain-damaged individuals.

Jokes aside, might as well be a demo of the multiple testing problem, so implying that algorithmic feeds in general do this is premature (not that the article does this, so just a note).

P.s, not defending current algorithmic feeds either; I’ve personally all but cut those out of my life for good, and advocate for using white-box approaches instead, like what’s done in reccomend_from_archive that recommends tracks based on AA’s spotify scrape data and listening history/playlist exports.

Except you don’t have to use their browser version and can instead use their apps or their bridge or even a 3rd-party bridge like hydroxide, which makes injections quite a bit harder. They can still get incoming and outgoing plaintext (i.e. not pmail ←→ pmail) emails, tho

Yap, newer models use those strips, my bad. Although, I disagree the inability to source stuff from the manufacturer isn’t a big deal: batteries made of chinesium tend to fail really quickly, up to the point I started replacing just the cells myself with known good quality ones after a couple of batteries failing in like half a year. However, I suspect apple should sell batteries for said newer models, since they’ve made 'em replaceable.

Depends on the device, I suppose, but incorrect for the m2 version at least, where you have to use adhecive remover: https://www.ifixit.com/Guide/MacBook+Pro+13-Inch+2022+(M2)+Battery+Replacement/156551. I wouldn’t go as far as to call this “difficult” as they did, but def. time-consuming.

Also, you can’t source just the battery from apple.

Battery: https://discussions.apple.com/thread/256043979

Angle sensor has since been solved, apparently: https://hackaday.com/2023/09/26/beating-apples-secret-lid-angle-sensor-calibration-with-custom-tool/

Noice. Would also be wonderful if they stopped pouring a shit ton of that nasty black underfill under the bga chips and used some regular red/clear compound around the corners instead like literally everyone else.

Yeah, like being forced to replace the topcase when the battery dies or having to repair the angle sensor 'cause it’s paired to the motherboard. But fuck sustainability and heil consumerism, I guess.

Not to say that I’m not an apple hater – because I certainly am – it’s just that there are quite a few reasons to be one.

Regarding the last point: it’s more of a bias, tho, so reducing it may even be a good thing. E.g. asking Kent Overstreet’s opinion on your bcachefs setup is probably useful, while getting relationship advice from him is ill-advised.

As always with crapple, the specs are solid… For smth that costs half as much as what they ask.

Ha-ha, classic

They also then started working on age verification on the device level. And, as the saying goes, those who give up privacy to get extra security, get neither.

So, their approach can be used to flag likely hallucinated output and warn the user?

Also kupfer (pmos but arch), ubports (ex Ubuntu touch) and droidian (similar to ubports with being halium-based but Debian and conventional DEs, hence, it’s supposed to actually run software). Mobile-nixos, to some extent, although it’s more of a PoC, in my experience
