Maybe I'm misunderstanding this, but what would be the advantage of running straight Linux versus an AOSP-based mobile OS? Like, why not just keep the great apps that do run on there and ignore the Play Integrity ones that don't. Does it have to do mainly with just the governance of AOSP (i.e. Google)?

> What government apps do people run?

There are a bunch of them here in Australia, and there were several in the UK.

Here there's a secure ID app for government services which is used as 2FA on the web interface, and various apps to access state and national government services directly. There's a tax one that allows you to scan receipts to collect them up for your annual tax return. In the UK I had an NHS app, can't remember what else.

They aren't mandatory, you can live without them, but they are often convenient.

> Why do you need to access your bank account on your phone?

Because it's many people's primary computing device? Why would you not want to access your bank accounts on your phone?

And because if you want to log on to some banks websites you need to have a 2FA security code which can either be generated by a dedicated security device, which has become less common now, or by an app on the phone which is then usually biometrically protected. There is sometimes a second code-generation method for higher value transfers.

So it is convenient to be able to send payments in the bank app, though less common than using my phone instead of the physical card through apple/google pay (those don't require the bank app to be installed).

>IMO there's a reason why YouTube only encodes AV1 for certain videos - I suspect it's based off of a view count. Past that point they trigger a AV1 encode, but it isn't worth it to do all videos, at least right now.

But how can they do that without storing the original uploaded video until it hits that view count?

Do they actually store the original uploaded video somewhere, but reencode for the edge servers to save data/storage?
Show HN: Open Line Protocol – a minimal wire for AI agents (MIT)
by terrynce | 2025-09-16 02:01:08+00:00
I built a tiny, typed wire for AI agents to exchange small graphs + telemetry instead of paragraphs.

Ships: • Frozen v0.1 schema (backwards-compatible) • 5-number “shape” digest + holonomy gap (Δ_hol) • Guards to stop self-licking loops / silent deletions / order-debt spikes • Receipts: machine-verifiable JSON (schema-checked in CI)

Repo: https://github.com/terryncew/openline-core Live hub: https://terryncew.github.io/openline-hub/

What feedback helps most: • Field naming in the wire • Guard thresholds • Which adapter you’d want first (WebSocket, store)

Probably not. Most Russian companies are not subject to sanctions even in the US, but many of their banks are. And most Western companies are not in the US and consequently aren't bound by US sanctions.

However, AFAIK eight of Russia's biggest banks are still cut off from SWIFT: https://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/SWIFT_ban_against_Russian_ba...

Well, in the US, in a "right to work state", an employer could say "We don't support the views of this band. We saw that you were there and are going to let you go."

Or

"Data shows you hang out in low income areas, we don't think that aligns with our companies goals."

So the "face your principals" is completely fucking arbitrary. That's the fear.

Do Drones Make Helicopters Obsolete?

Maybe for some facets of warfare however they will be used for transporting humans in places that planes can not land and where VTOL would pick up fod foreign object damage into the engines.

Drones can be used in conjunction with FLIR to detect wildfire hot-spots, but they can not put out the hot-spots. Drones are not useful for fighting forest fires by carrying large containers of water as they are not powerful enough. Water is very heavy. Fighting wildfires will still be human piloted aircraft including jets, cargo planes, prop planes, helicopters for quite some time.

I don't know if I'd consider that the reactive callback because there's no change in state if I only put the `console.log` in `onChange`. The point of the reactive callback is to be invoked on a change in state and in this case, that is the component function would you agree?

In Vue, for example, when I set up a `watch`, the change in state only invokes the callback that is wired to the state. In React, the entire component function is invoked again on a change of state.

We routinely host huge discussions about major political developments, some of which spend all day on the front page then continue to smoulder on for days. We're not avoiding discussion of important topics. We're preserving this place as somewhere that can be a better place to discuss important topics when they emerge. But that means being consistent in our criteria for what qualifies and what doesn't.

I think this might be the one.

Realistically speaking, they’re not going to rollback anything. They even kept and even double downed on that’s stupid photos app redesign on iOS.

At least the review sites are making some noise this time instead of parroting Apple’s announcements. They all sold us that awful photos app as the great new thing.
by Nursie | 2025-09-16 02:05:49+00:00
Ha. Fair enough. That sort of thing is almost exclusively done using bank transfers here in Aus.

I did receive one check this year, a refund from a company who had screwed up billing on a medical scan. For some reason they couldn't just refund it to my debit card. It was really annoying to have to get to a bank during opening hours to deposit it, but my bank here doesn't offer mobile check scanning. Some do, my old UK bank did ... oh well.

I initially tried that and thought it improved some things, but it increased contrast across the OS, such that some webpages, including stock HN became too blinding. I instead switched to "Reduce Transparency," but that has its own issues.

Overall not pleased. I really did not want to care about the UI changes at all. But having experienced it now, I'm so annoyed I upgraded to iOS 26 and I'm having trouble focusing on the screen. I want WebGPU support, but I'm very hesitant to upgrade to macOS 26 (which is required for WebGPU in Safari).

On iPhone Air

The C1, while slower, was a little more energy efficient. Signal Reception seems to be ok too. I am expecting the C1X to be even better.

Combined with A19 Pro, C1X, N1. I would expect Air to be more efficient than 16 Pro. So with that in mind,

The Air ~3100 mah, the 16 Pro ~3600 mach should have similar battery life, or may be just slightly less than 16 Pro, a little bit better than iPhone 15 Pro with 3274mah.

If that is the case I say Air is actually not bad. And we can look forward into the future for even more energy efficiency OLED, SoC and newer Battery Tech. That would make Air perfect.

Not to mention iPhone Air is a required training for foldable iPhone. Their competitors are already making foldable phone with one side at less than 5mm. And is currently being held back by USB-C port. Apple needs at least one or two generation of learning to move in that direction. And iPhone Air is exactly that.

I am really looking forward to al the iPhone review this year. It has been a long long time since the iPhone produce range was exciting.

List of iPhone Battery Capacity.

Model/Battery Life Battery Capacity (mAh)

iPhone 17 Pro Max: 5088 mAh (100%)

iPhone 16 Plus: 4,674 mAh

iPhone 15 Plus: 4,383 mAh

iPhone 17 Pro: 4252 mAh (84%)

(Warning: Am only a software/product engineer, playing dilettante here, not an actual marketing/business expert.)

Awhile back, I was thinking that one pragmatic way to get this viable Linux smartphone moving might be for hobbyists to focus on getting one easily available, affordable device working fully with pure Debian or PostmarketOS (no closed drivers or other modules, and preferably no blobs) and with Purism's Phosh.

Then that would boost contributions to, and demand for, Purism's open source platform/components for Librem 5 (and whatever the successor hardware would be).

If the cheap hardware is something like PinePhone, I'm just going to handwave that maybe this device won't cannibalize much sales of Purism's premium devices, but instead the community investment into the platform will effectively generate much higher net demand for Purism's premium products. With higher volume, Purism could maybe also hit more accessible price points.

If the Purism hardware demand happens, then there may be competing hardware entrants. And they will have to compete partly on being trustworthy and aligned with the interests of the kinds of customer who want to run a non-Apple, non-Google device. Where Purism should have a head start in credibility and goodwill. The new entrants will have to contribute engineer time (possibly: pay community contractors) to getting their device to work well with this platform, and be expected to upstream all of it as open source to the platform mainline, if they want to be attractive to these customers.

(I'm not saying the cheap device has to be PinePhone; that just seemed the most likely one at the time. It could even be something like an older popular Pixel model, with many unlockable-bootloader units available cheap on eBay, for which people are able to assemble/develop open source drivers. Or maybe GrapheneOS will get their own device built, and it can also be used for this non-Android-based open Linux platform.)

Thanks for the thoughtful feedback — you raise valid concerns.

The reason dagger.js allows JS expressions in attributes is mostly about lowering the barrier to entry. By keeping everything in plain HTML, you can copy-paste a snippet, view-source it, and immediately see both the structure and the behavior in one place. For small widgets, docs, or internal tools, that convenience often outweighs the drawbacks.

You’re right that it’s technically not “valid HTML,” and that data-attributes would be more standards-compliant. I chose the lighter +click="count++" style because it makes the examples concise and easy to reason about — essentially HTML as a living playground. The trade-off is that it bends the rules a bit.

That said, I agree separation of concerns is important. dagger.js is not trying to replace large frameworks or enforce this pattern everywhere. It’s intended as a minimal option where simplicity and quick iteration matter more than strict layering. If it proves useful but the attribute style becomes a blocker, I’m very open to exploring a data-* form or even alternate syntax.

Also, thank you for sharing your own framework — it looks great. Actually I’m considering adding a pre-compiled, separation-of-concerns version of dagger.js in the future to support a wider range of development needs.

And thanks as well for the docs suggestion about emojis. Feedback like this really helps shape the project in a healthier direction.

Allow me to brag about romforth (https://github.com/romforth/romforth) which I ported to the "3c" Padauk and can run on really small rom/ram microcontrollers. Caveats: - tested only on an emulator SDCC/ucsim_pdk, not on real hardware - given how small the ram is, there is no user dictionary but new words can be defined and tested using what the Forth folks refer to as "umbilical hosting".

Good to know... at that price it almost is. I just want a half way decent Linux laptop that isn't FHD or 5 years old. Carbons are more than I want to pay for something 'for fun'.

That's less expensive than the ASRock NUC BOX-225H I bought... and that was without RAM/NVMe.

Pretty common pattern these days.

That, plus the hashtags at the end (unless Substack uses those and I was unaware of it), plus the fact that we know he's using AI in some capacity because of the feature images - it's a reasonable conclusion to draw.

You explained the design inconsistencies the best. Though I’m worried that instead of fixing the underlying problems, they’re just going to make a bullet list of what people mention here and change those only. Then we’re going to have an OS where no two screens have the same paddings etc.

What the hell happened to the Apple design guides. Did all the engineers who read them retire.

Some of it is that the market has matured - going from not being connected to only connected on a desktop to everywhere on a phone with a real browser was a lot of changes you notice all day.

A child born on the day the first iPhone launched is old enough to vote now.

Many of those posts are being written by people who have been along for that ride, too, so it’s going to be hard to recapture that excitement after experiencing past hot products not changing your life. It’s like a middle aged American buying a new car - yeah, it’s nice but fundamentally nothing changes in your life and you’re never reclaiming the excitement of being 18 and going from marooned in a boring suburb to being able to travel, which is a transformative change even if it was in a clunky old hand-me-down.

CloudKitchen was holding plenty of software hiring events near me few years ago. All these companies developed software to streamline the process of listing thousands of stores on all delivery apps, receiving orders, organize and manage kitchens assembly lines like how the orders are received, and dispatched to cooks, etc. Also they integrate analytics, cost tracking, supply chain management, and other random things like that. Basically for any PE or a billionaire who wants to larp as the next McDonalds or Starbucks, they don’t want to build everything from scratch.

The kinda thing a regular restaurant is probably managing using a spreadsheet and a notebook.

Nah, not an ass. Just not up to speed yet.

Using traditional cameras (repurposed DLSRs or fancy webcams like ZWO). There is a significant hurdle, of expense, learning how to use them, and setting them up. A Pixel makes sky-wide astrophotography trivially easy with almost no setup required. Depending on how stable the camera mount is, the pixel will allow me to start over on the novice side of the scale. I've been able to take handheld pictures of the Aurora and other large sky images, such as lightning in twilight thunderstorms. If I can rest the camera somewhere stable, I can take longer exposures and even create a time-lapse of the night sky.

There's a lot to be said for pulling your phone out of your pocket and taking pictures of the sky.

It's this sort of thing that demonstrates rather plainly how the vendors of these “walled garden” app stores are lying through their teeth when they advertise said stores as being “more secure” than allowing sideloading or third-party app stores. There's no curation happening here. There's barely any actual security checks going on here. They're really gonna claim with a straight face that this is somehow better than the likes of F-Droid or Cydia or Flathub or what have you?

People base purchases on more than price. But on price you are essentially correct. They are a money pit if you want to do major upgrades on them and it is often possible to get much better value for money shopping around and this applies throughout Framework's range. Even going DIY on SSD and RAM the other components aren't cheap.

They don't have the manufacturing volumes to compete on price so they compete on appeals to sustainability, repairability etc. It is why I bought one a few years ago and I still use it but I haven't take advantage of any of the upgrades that have been available.

If some keys stop working or my screen gets cracked its my intention to replace parts myself while living in a remote area and not have to worry about keyboard being plastic welded and screens being glued.

It would have been nice to upgrade my motherboard or screen but realistically when the time comes it is going to be cheaper just to buy another laptop on sale and leave Framework behind.

A foldable iPhone has been pretty firmly rumored for fall 2026 for a while now, I think you can take it as virtually certain: https://www.macrumors.com/guide/foldable-iphone/

I don't think the Air is merely a precursor to the foldable, however. It's rather that the technological evolution that allowed for the 5mm thin iPad Pro last year allows for the Air this year and helps with the foldable next year (and thinner MacBooks are rumored as well). But the Air is probably there to stay as a separate form factor, assuming that it doesn't flop in terms of sales. The foldable will be much heavier and bulkier, more resembling a Pro Max.

You probably never see what reddit like after it just get rewrite. https://www.reddit.com/r/bugs/comments/rj0u77/reddit_redesig...

I won't say most react apps performs like this. But it's what you will get if you ship a big react app without optimization at all.

Other framework mostly have a much saner default (for example, component without argument change does not re-render). So it will work well (not best though) even in large scale. But in react they are all opt-in.

This is great, but even browsers go nutty at times. I had to restart Firefox (as in kill-restart), when it lost contact with the keyboard. No, not an iPad case. That just drops the keyboard now and then for fun and I detach it and re-attach it. I'll go clean the contacts shortly.

Anyway, just a minor, and hopefully a non-point. Must be the solar activity?

> What really got on my nerves during the Apple Watch segment of the event, though, is this: Apple always, always inserts a montage of sob stories about how the Apple Watch has saved lives, and what an indispensable life-saving device it is. Don’t get me wrong, I’m glad those lives were saved. But this kind of ‘showcase’ every year is made in such poor taste. It’s clear to me that it’s all marketing above everything else, that they just want to sell the product, and these people’s stories end up being used as a marketing tactic. It’s depressing.

Yeah, the trauma porn in Apple events has become quite annoying. We get it - if you don't have an Apple watch you're going to die.

I fully think an amazing consumer-targetting device could take over like a storm if done well, if ambitiously done, with an aggressive software stack.

But. I think what we should ask for now should be simpler. Let this be an alpha geek toy, let folks fiddle with some basic devices boards that can do the thing. The work on PinePhone, Mobian, others is good pioneering work, alas largely held back by there just being so few decent devices for folks to play with. The driver situation keeps making hope here impossible.

It's not a high hope, but Qualcomm has a QCM6490 chip is maybe a rare hope. A chip that is somewhat buyable by regular makers, an extended life version of the Snapdragon 778G. It's pretty modern, and comes with very featureful connectivity hardware. We're seeing variants like non-cellular Radxa Dragon Q6A in the field. Particle has a new Tachyon board you can buy with it. https://www.cnx-software.com/2024/07/31/tachyon-business-car...

It's just stunningly rare alas that folks can make systems with vaguely modern cellular chips. The cores are just not available generally. Sure it's be great to have a well produced Linux phone that is super consumer acceptable with a great OS build out, a new or revived Maemo or a Jolla Sailfish: folks who can go sign the NDAs and make a consumer device but have it be Linux. But I think for this dream to really take hold, humanity needs to be afforded some possibility to have an honest shake, some chance to be a little closer to the machine than typical cellphone bargain. The lack of cellular chip availability has been so so damning to this quest. And here is one counter-example, a crack in the wall, where I see flowers and hope grow.

There was some real nice moments where it seemed like maybe some Snapdragon cellphones in general we're getting Linux support to some level, in mainline, just for the base stuff. No cellular. Unclear to me but it seems like maybe those were just the very barest of beginnings; whether any peripherals at all work or whether there was even a screen is unclear. The trickle of releases also seems to have died off. FWIW though, I will note the previous Fairphone 5 does use the above QCM6490. https://www.phoronix.com/news/Linux-6.1-Arm-Hardware
