They sold licensed the brand to TCL in 2016, so there were some Chinese android phones with BB branding, the last one was Evolve X in 2018, 6 years ago. iirc they were very overpriced
I won't watch that neckbeard's video, only watched the first few minutes. Sorry it's very annoying.
In the problematic article everything is in conditional tense: would/could/theoretically. Yes, it's a clickbait shitty "article", but if you read carefully, nothing is presented as a fact, pure speculation, even the title is "would kill kernel-level anti-cheat" not "will kill". There was nothing to fact check in that article because it never contained any facts.
And that's the news section not the in-house reviews. It's terrible that current tech journalism is this clickbaity, but your comment on an unrelated, and very in depth review is just spreading FUD. If you would comment this on a Notebookcheck news it would be valid criticism.
The boy’s skin was darker than most modern Europeans’ but not as dark as a tropically acclimated person’s, Modi says, and his pale blue eyes match those of other ancient western European hunter-gatherers. The infant also appears to be an ancestor of the Villabruna cluster—a group of post-Ice Age people who lived up to 14,000 years ago—suggesting the Villabruna line began in southern Europe well before the end of the Ice Age, per the study.
I would be interested if some relatives are still living nearby. Remember I read an article about some bog mummy from England, and they found direct descendants living in a nearby village.
Other benefit of zigbee that devices can't connect directly to the internet, so you don't have to trust them, you don't have to create vlans, they can't be turned into a botnet. Also in zigbee every device can be a router, so they can more easily cover bigger houses.
I wouldn't replace a wifi based system with zigbee, but recommend it to anyone starting now. This post wanted to be an advice to newcomers...
I have an old wifi yeelight, measured it now because I was interested. 1.4W off, 8.4W full power
For comparison, Ikea zigbee bulb 9.3W max power, less than 0.1 W while off, but switches on instantly. My watt meter can't measure less than 0.1W so it shows 0.0W.
Zigbee was designed for this kind of usage. I have several zigbee sensors running on 3.3V coin cell batteries, they can report data for years without battery replacement.
All smart lightbulbs have a small router in them, so they all use some electricity while switched off. You can gain some net plus only if you live with people who constantly forget to switch off lights. But you need some presence detector as well. Smart lighting is about convenience not energy usage.
Wifi is the worst wireless standard from energy usage standpoint. Zigbee's power usage is much less and devices are cheap. Thread and Z-wave power usage also lower than wifi, but devices are a bit more expensive.
Amazon and Google are a privacy nightmare. Home Assistant and Domoticz are two wellknown local first smart home systems.
And you generate traffic for them, thanks. You could just directly link to the install docs on PostmarketOS, not for a shitty third party site: https://postmarketos.org/install/
image transcription with gemini 1.5, I don't find more info on it but it sounds like it doesn't run on device, similar to what already available in browsers.
stickers in gboard. Wow.
quickshare images with qr code and bluetooth. I remember we sent images via bluetooth in 2004. I don't see why is it an interesting feature in 2024
some scanning app for googe drive, there are countless alternatives...
gemini extension with spotifiy, so now gemini can recommend you music from spotify. Like if there was a problem here to solve.
So AI things and rewrapped features. I love that on device things starting to work, but at one point goog will see it's not good for them. If it runs on device, you don't have to feed them data
