True :). Although I bought a new Android tablet, it’s confusing that Gemini isn’t installed, but there is Gemini as an embedded support assistant.

This is the place where AI needs to take over, no more excuses!

For example in country 400k€ was spend on executives (200 hundred people) Christmas dinner for publicly owned company.

While the scheduling and company management is similar issues as DB. I think we ned a new word for this kind of clusterfuck!! They are "rulesfull", rules that hinder the system and make the user scream in pain and agony.

Btw Google also stopped providing RCS proxy or whatever that was for small mobile providers. Message in settings will just say RCS is not supported, funnily that also breaks Gemini in Messages app, with infinite spinner.

iPhone Pocket 8 months ago

Yep We need iPhone mini. Every year the phone is bigger which is worse. Android is the same.

This happened to my phone, original battery but it had health around 81%. Installing public beta just dropped battery health to 0% and charge to 1% instantly, and 99% usage is suddenly credited to Settings. Charging does not work at all, and you have to restore from backup in DFU mode.

The https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CCFfibo9uR4 has interesting discussion about how FADEC had a bug in 2019 [https://avherald.com/h?article=4c2fe53a] and only five years later in 2024 [https://www.federalregister.gov/d/2024-21144/p-13] quote: The NPRM was prompted by incidents related to erroneous A/T behavior during a balked landing with the A/T engaged (FADEC), potential erroneous readings from the LRRA(radar altimeter), and possible deficiencies in low airspeed protections and crew alerting systems.

The only known fact is that both engines had shut down simultaneously, as confirmed by the Civil Aviation Minister. This either means a fuel problem or a software glitch; FADEC will not allow pilots to shut down engines in flight, but it has authority to do that on it's own.

Speculation: So you have a low-flying plane with electrical issues (blinking lights were reported by the survivor); it loses power after takeoff (survivor reported “plane hung in air”). RAM deploys and FADEC gets readings that are near the ground, it commands engine shutdown.

On Jun 29th 2025 India's Civil Aviation Minister said: "It has never happened that both engines shut down together." Investigators are analyzing the black boxes from every angle including engine issues, fuel supply problem or something else including sabotage. A preliminary report is to be expected in three months.

USB Serial is such a great thing, finally ending those annoying Electron apps that are only used for one thing. There’s a list of tools that now use the browser to set up devices, and it’s fantastic.

ESPHome(+ hundreds projects that use it as a base), Betaflight, ELRS, Flipper just to name a few.

I understand that WebKit lacks support since it’s developed by Apple, and I would also be cautious if it granted any access to peripherals.

But Firefox? Firefox has severely lacked support for hardware "connections" and has been unfriendly for developers for a long time, so I simply stopped using it (one of the reasons). Reason they state for not adding support it is that user consent is not enough to access the device, which is just nonsense, they could have made it enabled under the developer flag or similar. Blink proved that it can be made secure.

I have a filling they are stubborn for no reason and are not seeing use cases that would make their browser usable.

I would agree if revisions were enabled by default just for posts and pages.

Here’s a common example: you have a blog with 20 pages and 20 custom plugins (quite a standard these days). In a year of hosting that one, you’ll end up with millions of revisions in the database, which is really resource and speed issue for MySQL servers as the developers of WordPress never considered sharding; everything is stuffed into one table, with no indexes by default.

So, usually, the size of the DB and resources to run it go over what you would expect, so naturally, you limit it to a more sane value.

TLDR; In pristine WP env with no plugins unlimited revisions make sense. In a WP with many plugins they don't as other plugins declare them but not use them and thus we end with a system that uses huge amount of resources for nothing.

Oh and revision in WP is not like GIT revision as is full copy of the content.

On Dec 2nd 2016 the FAA had issued their airworthiness directive AD 2016–24–09 summarizing: "We are adopting a new airworthiness directive (AD) for all The Boeing Company Model 787–8 and 787–9 airplanes. This AD requires repetitive cycling of either the airplane electrical power or the power to the three flight control modules (FCMs). This AD was prompted by a report indicating that all three FCMs might simultaneously reset if continuously powered on for 22 days. We are issuing this AD to address the unsafe condition on these products."

Typically, it is not even a Distributed Denial of Service (DDOS) attack; instead, it is traffic from (SEO) bots that crawl through every possible combination of the page, such as query parameters for web shop filters. I hate those down to the guts, because you have to design a rate limiter that will limit them and let other traffic through.

Chromebook Plus 3 years ago

The classic arm for ChromeOS is terrible, mostly because they cheaped out on CPU extensions and storage, and memory bandwidth. They mostly repurposed those cheap Android tablet designs that die after a year.

And it looks like pipelines are gone if using CLI to inspect the apps. The error is "Unknown Error. Please contact support."

This was then resolved (id depends on the use case also), also you are comparing Low Power CPU (ARM Cortex m0-m3), which you need to pair with something probably esp32 to connect it to the internet.

BTW Chrome is also run through the same layer now, to speed up the updates. Albeit is more integrated into the OS, but it's no near the wine you are talking about.

I don't know but inspect tools just irritate me soo much in Firefox that I don't like to use the browser then at all. I started my career in Firefox and still remember you had to have an extension for debugging HTML, the editing style was fun and useful.

My usage changed a lot from then, now I need:

- Tracing graph for network events in Firefox which it does not have.

- Applications tab that would show me the status of workers, cache ... is just plain in Firefox

- And UI seems condensed, I guess I just got used to a more relaxed Chrome.

- The whole debacle we don't want you to install a web app as a shortcut because it's bad for some reason. (They lost me initially with this years ago when I still had Linux).

It's a shame but Firefox is just not what I need and prefer anymore.
