None of the Flock camera teardowns seems to specifically list curl as part of those software stacks, but as they run fairly stock Android installs it is likely that they too run curl. Related

another implication of AI manifesting in real world engineering react native existed for a single reason which was to reduce the development and maintenance cost of multi-platform mobile apps. they allow you to write a single codebase (kind of) that can work on both ios and android, with a tech stack that many web devs are already familiar with but with AI being particularly good at mechanically repeating something that already exists, replicating one platform's implementation to another has become trivial in general LLMs can write a ton of code at very low cost, especially when there's a sou… LLMs JavaScript Related

Today in "iPhone apps are already iPad apps", here's Quick Reads for iOS running on iOS 27 as the screen gets wider with zero code changes so far. I really think this will be Apple's differentiator in folding phones. I'm kind of shocked how many Android apps simply don't take any advantage of a larger screen, while I think a lot of iPhone apps will do this automatically. If your app runs on the iPhone and iPad, it very likely may just work on day one without the dev needing to do anything. Related

I disagree, I don't think this has to be "game-over" for Google. I do think they have only one play left now - to pull from their own Android/Kubernetes playbook and fully embrace open-models. It's the obvious move in this situation. Details here: p3institute.substack.com

Unexpected Codex use case: set up an Android handheld for me. @johnvoorhees got me into this: enable USB debugging and just let the agent rip. Codex installed Cocoon frontend on my AYN Thor, transferred all my ROMs, and is currently configuring emulators, mods, and other apps. It's just working in the background and cross-referencing YouTube/Reddit sources to set everything up, so I can focus on cooking for the family instead. Incredible. @dimillian Related

Lately, I've been running a local fork of the Android emulation frontend Cannoli, you can see the changes here: https://t.co/wCaJerqK3A I hope to get some some of these changes landed upstream, but in the meantime, it's so awesome to have a customized launcher that totally meets my niche needs like this.

This is supposed to be a dig against Linux, but it's actually why Linux is so great. There are so many different versions, all of which benefit from work on the kernel, software that runs on it, etc., but users can have the experience they want. I run Arch with Hyprland, but I'd never suggest that's the best for the average consumer. And if Arch or Hyprland become crappy in some way (like Windows has done...), I can switch to something else without losing my software, files, etc. This is also one of the reasons why Android is so much better than iOS. I can have a big folding phone (eventually… Quoting @eevblog Welcome to Linux. Linux Related

A korrent is a belief a person has stated in their own words: one
sentence stating the claim, backed by a quote and a source, kept at
korrents.com .
Under a name here, the quoted block is what they actually said.
The korrent beneath it is the claim those words support, in
korrents' wording — tap it to see the record, its source, and who
else holds it.
Nobody here wrote their own korrents. They are compiled from public

About the English under a post
Some people here publish in a language other than English. Where they
do, this site shows a machine translation beneath the post, in
this typeface — the site's own, not theirs.
The post itself is never changed, moved or hidden: what is set in the
serif above is exactly what the person published, and it is what to
quote them on. A translation can be wrong in ways that matter,
especially about tone.
Only the post's own words are translated. A quoted post, a linked

are left in their original language.
