Why not both!

The DMCA is a curse.

Hopefully Servo gets a good UI soon.

I’ve found it remarkably difficult to replace a battery in a modern smartphone, even as someone who’s quite handy with electronics. Any improvement is greatly welcome, and I wish we’d do more to make it easier.

It’s about usage patterns. If you know you only need 60% of the battery, charging it to 100% will degrade it more, for little utility. The newer Google phones get 7 years of updates, but without due care the battery will reach 80% of its capacity before that. On an aside, a battery is considered to have reached its end of life at a capacity reduction of 20%, and not 40%.

If you 100-0 the battery every day, then there’s not much you can do. But if you’re a lighter user, then using the 20-80% (or 40-60) part instead of the 40-100% part of the battery makes it last longer. And that’s good in terms of environmental sustainability, reduction of e-waste, and you can use the phone for longer, too.

Pragmatically speaking, for battery health you should charge only as much as you need the battery, so it sounds to me that in your case that’s 90%. Also, here’s a paper about battery charging:

Do you mean to say that this achievement had something to do with AI?

Fermat PRP testing with proofs instead of Lucas-Lehmer testing with full double checks

Looks like pure mathematics to me.

Nah it’s more like a Starbucks

How radioactive is the robot afterwards?

Courage!

Yes, this is incredibly annoying and it’s also the reason why some USB cables cost more than others, even they may look the same superficially.

Logically, now they have to ban Starlink too.

The OpenAI move has “caused significant concern within China’s AI community” said Xiaohu Zhu, the founder of the Shanghai-based Centre for Safe AGI, which promotes AI safety, not least because “the decision raises questions about equitable access to AI technologies globally”.

OpenAI always was banned in China, where was this significant concern when the CCP banned it?

Sounds like Google’s enterprise features have a dependency on Google Play (and presumably GSF) and Android phones in China can’t be turned into work phones as a result. Makes a lot of sense.

Is there any way I can help contribute public transport information to OSM? It’s the one thing that Google maps does that I can’t replace.

opt-in

I tried opting-out. There’s no way to do this account wide; the setting has to be changed per-device. I didn’t really like that.

We know. The entire goal of their internet policy is to control exactly what their population can access, which means they have an isolated network, by any means necessary.

What is 3D about the banner? The mouse cursor graphic?

Let’s just generalize an entire country by calling them all racist, that will surely make for fantastic discourse.

So they’ll just change their DNS server again? What will this achieve?
