They haven’t launched a successful product in a decade. Pretty sure they’ll get more desperate and have even more misses. Probably AI.

Oh yes, the port that HTML passes through

Do the bottom two have the same charging port? Impossible!

Also, my first time seeing the newer FireWire and whatever the video output is…

That’s just what war does to a 23-year-old

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 20^th 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.)

This does not affect people without Google Play Services so why complain? We need fewer reasons for people to buy Apple products so that devs are more inclined to build good native Android apps.

This is why I see it as a mild positive for us. For normal users, it’s another step away from privacy and security towards convenience that they will accept. Yes, some will see this on-by-default feature and think “no privacy is possible anymore” but that’s best solved by GrapheneOS etc. becoming more visible.

Amateurs.

The 1963 Černý Důl – Kunčice nad Labem aerial ropeway is over 8 km (5 mi) long, over 30 m high in places and carries 135 tons of limestone every hour from a quarry to the nearest train station. Its 120kW 3-phase synchronous motor requires power for a few minutes at the start and end of each day when most of the 800kg-capacity trolleys are empty, and spends most of the shift generating mains electricity and acting as a speed governor. Unlike the EV, it is fully autonomous most of the way, only 5 people are required to operate it. (Loading, unloading and timed dispatching is automatic, arriving/leaving carts just need to be checked; a safety latch has to be manually dis/engaged on trolleys passing the check.) The quarry will continue operation as long as it pays off, then the ropeway will be scrapped (projected 2033). A dude illegally rode the way up on it somewhat recently. He could have fallen to his death if he pulled the latch.
