Waiting for someone with an early unit to dump the Rabbit R1 OS like crazy right now

ryne, 26 days ago to random

The Rabbit R1 really is just a cute little orange paperweight. Commands are laggy, advertised features aren't ready yet. In terms of "things it can do" there really aren't many, short of frustrating you when you ask it to do things.

The camera (the rotating post on mine is crooked, wat) doesn't even work yet. What purpose does this object achieve? I can't even get it to perform any task short of answering questions any LLM can.

This thing is dumb.

Google Play has announced a bunch of new features and tools for app developers! Here’s a summary:

• The ability to tailor store listings by search keywords. If you don’t know what keywords to optimize for, Google Play will give suggested keywords.
• Developers can now leverage Play Points to launch coupons, discounts, or exclusive in-game items.
• Deep links patching makes it easier to experiment or make quick changes to your deep links setup without needing to release a new app version.

(1/5)

I refuse to believe no one has reverse engineered the protocol AirPods use to change the ANC modes from software, so it can be used in a non-Apple device

Ha! The Discord GDPR/Data Export thing reveals that it's running models to figure out what gender you are. If you go to /activity/analytics/events-*.json and grep for predicted_gender you get something like:

<span class="st">{</span>
  <span class="st">"user_id"</span><span class="op">:</span> <span class="st">"282657081457115136"</span><span class="op">,</span>
  <span class="st">"predicted_gender"</span><span class="op">:</span> <span class="st">"male"</span><span class="op">,</span>

Anyway, they seem to have this datapoint over time! Meaning you can make a graph of how male/female/NB you are according to discord, here is mine:

sometimes I miss this

Now that's a neat suggestion.

I just spent like ~3h on reversing the Starfield watch OTA and firmware, getting to the binary payload. Anyone interested on what I did?

I also made a bunch of scripts along the way that could be used for automation of reaching to the binary payload in newer updates

Pokémon Go players are altering public map data to catch rare Pokémon

TPM 2.0 requirement apparently won't be enforced on Windows 10 systems.

I think it’s finally the right time to switch over from Chromium back to Firefox for me

Am I the only one whose Pixel 8 Pro's modem is restarting in loop every half an hour or so? I have an eSIM and a pSIM installed, and I can see how both disconnect at the exact same time, only to come back after a minute. It only started happening 2 days ago after landing from a flight

Are you seriously telling me this is how you are supposed to launch an activity from a tile in WearOS using AndroidX's Protolayouts?

If I have to type Builder().build() a single time more I am going to give up and delete the entire project

This week I presented for the first time my new iOS penetration testing workshop, and it was a huge success!! Really excited to deep dive into mobile OS' other than Android more often 🥳

While waiting for you-know-what-happens-today, I'm here to remind you that I made the Android 14 Easter Egg work on Android 12 and 13, so it might be a neat pastime while we wait :) https://androiddev.social/@linuxct/110701919544907691

Y'all ever get some seemingly random devices trying to do incomprehensible things in your Crashlytics?

Today I discovered a brand called XiaoPaiTech, that seemingly sells IoT cameras, and presumably some of them run Android, because someone is trying to use the APKMirror Installer in one of them. Why? Just, why?!

Something something ATProto - ActivityPub interoperability? Has anyone already considered building a rosetta for this?

@askonomm Why did you take down the Invobi web app? Quite sad to see such a good project become a macOS-exclusive app...

Today I watched #barbienheimer (in that order), and wow. That definitely was a experience

linuxct, 10 months ago to random

I saw that new Android 14 UDC Easter Egg and I really wanted to try it on my Android 12 and 13 devices, so I patched the APK to work there.

It’s possible it works on older versions of Android, but that’s up to you to try.
