Sure. Google location tracking "bad" and Apple data harvesting "good", but it's pretty hack to see articles popping up about how poor Android trackers are compared to AirTags.
https://somegadgetguy.com/b/46Q

Ignoring the security nightmare AirTags were at launch, the assumed permissions Apple just takes for the Find My network, and the annoying (and scary looking) process Apple forces users through to OPT OUT of location tracking, it's shocking how well Google is doing only a couple weeks into this new finder network going live.

pros, if you're in talks with authors and other clients who are unclear about what kind of editorial services they need, check out the "Editorial Service Definitions" page of the website of the Editorial Freelancers Association. Share the link with them. https://www.the-efa.org/editorial-service-definitions/

Suing Apple is a necessary step in challenging our perception of Big Tech…

We can't take our eyes off this target. We need to build more momentum. Our legal system has been too slow to adapt to consumer tech trends, and we need to keep the pressure on if we're to course correct for YEARS of bad policy.

OnePlus 12 WiFi Mystery! Why is my phone connecting to an Network?

https://somegadgetguy.com/b/45G

CONTROVERSY! It's a little concerning. My phone keeps trying to connect to a mystery network, listed as an ISP WiFi that (to my knowledge) doesn't do business here in California. Has anyone else seen something like this? What's going on?

Something of an open question, and I don't have a clear answer myself. Have we already figured out the "correct" shape for a folding phone?
https://somegadgetguy.com/2024/02/21/folding-phones-is-there-a-correct-shape/

It seems companies are struggling to make the case for "mini tablets that turn into phones". Could it be as simple as the "wrong" shape?

Using a Windows on ARM tablet for a couple months now, the issue is NOT software, but a rough hardware price to performance. https://somegadgetguy.com/b/3yf
This OS is ready for more powerful ARM chips.
I'm getting really excited for new laptop chips...

Smartphones haven't "plateaued". Samsung and Apple have plateaued.
Reviewers just too nervous to call those companies out directly and piss off the PR reps.

How's it going in Palworld? Exploration abounds, but the guild system leaves a whole lot to be desired. Also, what about the underlying themes of the game?

For tonight on @damagecontrolblog I wrote about all of the games I livestreamed this year. I feared the number I streamed was way fewer than 2022, but it was only one game less. Essentially, eight games versus nine. I probably won't stream a game as long as Raidou Kuzunoha vs. King Abaddon again.
