Yeah, putting down a dog that bites people is sometimes the only option, but the way it was worded sounded more like "it wasn't a golden genius and I didn't like it, so I shot it instead of putting any effort into training it"

What are the specs?

What I meant by "turned pink" is that the display showed only bright pink color and the mac display had a single corrupted line of pixels on it.

[-] CucumberFetish@lemm.ee 38 points 6 months ago

Yup. Yesterday my mac turned my external display pink. The monitor was connected directly to the HDMI socket on the M1.

Tell me a more iconic duo than external devices and a panicking mac.

I mean, it is?

What I love about them is that recently they had more people buying their password manager, than they planned for. This reduced the cost per user for them.

Instead of pocketing all of the profit gained from it, they sent out an email to all of their paid users, to let them know that they can now update their subscription for a discount.

On buying their bs

A lot of it is still on the phone manufacturers. If Fairphone can provide software support for their 2015 model 8 years later, then I have a hard time believing that a company with a 32 billion USD net income cannot provide more than 3 years of software updates. Looking at you, Samsung!

It has nothing to do with GDPR, I promise. I came up with it on my own because I care about the data of our....I mean the data privacy of our customers.

Too many of those floating around. Another gem I recently stumbled upon was power consumption of 4.7 watts per watt.

They do, if you give them enough room. And if you are born into an oil family.

The power density is about 0.01125m³ per watt. A high end smartphone (11w of peak power) with a body size similar to Galaxy s23 ultra, would be almost 10 meters thick.

The issue is not the radioactivity, it's the power density. Per the article, this is ~24x smaller than an average phone battery, but can supply only 100uW.

I have a relatively conservative phone use, and on average, my phone uses 450mW. That means that you'd need 4500 of those batteries in your phone. But the battery would also need to cover the power usage peaks, which are multiple times higher than the average power consumption.
