    Whatever the marketing and target user is, “display random personal images” should be an opt-in feature. Do they really think people only have wholesome pics on their iPhones?

    Yes, Facebook automatically creates collages of “memories” it too but only with images that have been shared with friends, I think.
















  • Is it a suicide shower (the kind where an unprotected 3000W+ heating wire runs through the water) with disconnected ground? (A grill around the nozzles is connected to a ground wire that is supposed to prevent the current from flowing into your body, but it tends to trip GFCI/RCD so stupid desperate people disconnect it against the advice in the manual. If they were desperate but smarter, they would connect the grill to neutral instead to prevent GFCI/RCD from tripping while maintaining slightly better leakage prevention.)



  • If you have a recent phone, websites and PWAs are about as fast as native apps. I’m using a 2014 flagship Sony Xperia Z that came out with Android 4.4 and can barely run Android 13 — it will overheat and sytem UI (thankfully not apps) will restart if rendering stuff for too long. (The difference is staggering: basic old apps like Phyphox and static websites run indefinitely. Modern apps or JS-enabled pages like Voyager or 480p30 video for 10 minutes. Post-modern bloated crap or 720p30 video, 4 minutes. Imgur, new Reddit and 1080p video turn the phone into a hand warmer immediately and the framerate goes from 15 to <1 in 10 seconds, followed by a slew of ANRs and the battery percentage going down every 20th frame rendered. Should I have applied more heatsink compound after replacing the battery? Yes but I’d argue no app with a simple purpose and basic GUI should require 5 W to the CPU while running at half rate.)
