Ah shit. Found it on fucking Faceb**k and thought it would fit with the vibe (pun intended) here.

Instant dowload. Very nice facebook client for the niche things I need to resort to Zucks’ advertising machine. Lets just hope nobody steals my credentials, not that tey’re worth too much lol.

Phonograph Plus is a nice music player app. I’ve been using it for many years now. GPLv3.

Their update policy is pretty bad, but to be honest, nothing to complain for their price points. I guess they pretty much live by selling new devices regularly, because at their margings and with their tiny market, you’ll need volume by any means.

Have a look at this 2012 article and giggle together with me about the sizes of those so-called phablets.

Sure they are, I believe. The performance of of todays mobile processors should be a multiple of that of desktop processors 15 years ago. The performance of the game played might be shitty though, lol

Kind of an empty article. So many words, yet so few content. I wonder if that article was hallucinated by an LLM.

Nice design, quite refreshing

• open weights, as the training dataset is not open/available afaik. But yum :D

One thing to be kept in mind, though:

verified this myself with the 1.1b model

Weird. At 2:58 that guy clearly points out the headphone jack. Nowhere mentioned on any HMD sites, though. Maybe a late stage descision to scrap the jack, and the reviewed phone is an early production trial unit?

Really wonder how they plan to increase their revenue on the AI training data, especially now that a significant amount of their data is “poisoned” by the models they try to train

About time they rebrand as ClosedAI.

TL;DW: They are using project sandcastle with an exploit available to the iPhone X and below.

Might not tick all boxes, but etherpad may be a nice alternative for you. It’s more like a collaborative note taking thing, but gets the job done if you’re not too concerned about encryption and hide the server behind a simple HTTP authentication.

I can recommend watching this guy’s video on the Jelly Max. He did a review on my Jelly Star and was relatively honest about the pros and cons, so at least I personally trust him: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wTFPq78JwF0

Android, afaik, is less secure by default to begin with. More freedom, more options to customize, more attack surface. Also, just because Cellebrite can’t pwn iOS 17.4 yet, doesn’t mean it can’t do it a month ahead from now.

Another very important factor I can see is Apple’s walled garden, where they could literally remote control your device. Through the new rapid security response (or whatever they called it in marketing wank) they can push updates to all active iOS devices more or less overnight - at least if the vulnerability is known to them and they have a patch. Compare that with Android where some devices don’t receive any updates after the initial release.

The last three ones I bought were less than 300 €
