Microsoft really has just given up here on the naming front, haven't they? Now all they need to make is a version of Teams that is usable.

It's also incredible that they manage to create multiple confusing versions that exist at the same time. What is this, Hangouts?

@zsmb13 Not to defend them, but the application is a complete rewrite that still works like ass. But the main change is the switch from Electron to EdgeWebview, which is definitely waaaaay better.

linuxct,
@linuxct@androiddev.social avatar

@saket @zsmb13 Technically yes, but Electron apps contain its own version of the WebView, whereas the new Teams relies on the system's WebView, EdgeWebview2.

This last one is much lighter than Electron per my understanding, and has the benefit of being decoupled from the app thus these can be updated separately. Additionally, multiple "instances" of the new Teams (if that would be possible) wouldn't imply several hardcopies of the webview like in all other Electron apps.

managed to confirm the compiler version used for Wii U IOS 5.5.x with an exact bytematched function, it's arm-elf GCC 4.1.1, -O2 no CPU tuning (armv5te)

@ShinyQuagsire Excuses for the question, but the Wii U runs IOS? Or you mean the vWii?

@ryne Miyoo Mini Plus? I recently got one as well

linuxct,
@linuxct@androiddev.social avatar

@ryne Yeah absolutely, installed it as soon as I got mine. I am investigating how much of it can be worked on, since it’s not a full custom firmware but a reskin/extension over the original one. I’m also interested in powering off the (stupid) LEDs at the top via software, was messing between GPIO and PWM today to no avail yet…

linuxct,
@linuxct@androiddev.social avatar

@ryne In terms of software I think it's actually OK with what it is right now. My objective is to investigate what can be done in terms of CFW, replacing the stock OS that Onion is based off of right now. I already started collecting previous firmware images to understand what's there, will be fun :)

linuxct,
@linuxct@androiddev.social avatar

@ryne And yes, I am aware of these! I actually wanted something without Android, for once. It's not like I am tired of it, but I have to deal with it on a day to day basis, and something different (Linux based, but which still has access to WiFi) is refreshing. I also want to improve my skills in embedded/IoT reversing, both hw and sw (already took it apart last night to understand the PMIC circuitry), so this seems like a good start 😜

linuxct,
@linuxct@androiddev.social avatar

@ryne However, if help is needed for those (like the Retroid 3+), I can try to help as well! Would be fun as hell to unlock the bootloader, then try and write a device tree and boot TWRP/LineageOS on it

@rolle FYI: Bluesky (or ATProto according to the diagram there) can be self-hosted. The thing is the instance of the Bluesky BGS doesn’t aggregate with other PDSs but Bluesky’s official one (for now). So while technically you can self-host it, it may not be as useful until your PDS can be connected to the main BGS.

linuxct,
@linuxct@androiddev.social avatar

@rolle You can, but it will be fully isolated from the rest of the ATProto network. Just your very own thing, which will serve no purpose…

On the other hand, boiling it down to just that shows that maybe you don’t see the benefit of having a personal datastore (think of it like a passport) separate from the data aggregation service, which is what those folks are doing. For me, it’s probably the only feature I’d wish ActivityStream/ActivityPub had contemplated.

Looking at the ridiculous cost of Slack for our company, alternatives should be explored. As we're Google Workspaces users we'd have Google Chat for free. The product looks fine and seems to have everything we'd need.. but the history of Google messaging products really makes me apprehensive about the idea of relying on one. Google really screwed up that domain.

Wondering how the fediverse could define a better auth system rather than login/password. Maybe using gpg, getting your key signed by the instance so you own your credentials and the ability to invalidate keys and move along devices via QR :? just throwing random ideas here and there

⚠️ Account deletion is permanent

We receive multiple requests every week to restore accounts accounts that were previously deleted.

How can we improve this?

linuxct,
@linuxct@androiddev.social avatar

@pixelfed Have a data retention-then-deletion policy of 30 days. This can be reflected in the database with a flag ‘pendingDeletionSince’ with either a null or a datetime in it. Then a daily cron can delete accounts marked for deletion more than 30 days ago. A very different story is how to make those accounts contents not visible while they are awaiting deletion… need to do some magic on the feed mixer and search service that check for this parameter presence

“CMF by Nothing” is the worst tech branding I have seen in a long time, and Nothing isn't even established enough at this point to warrant splitting products into sub-brands. It's wild that Carl Pei can still keep raising VC money. https://9to5google.com/2023/09/26/nothing-cmf-smartwatch-earbuds-release/

linuxct,
@linuxct@androiddev.social avatar

@corbin The thing is the product line doesn’t fit Nothing at all, even if they make it seem like so with the mixed branding. All 3 products they presented are minimalist, yet not on the same aesthetics level as the ear 1/stick/2 or the Phone lineup, with transparent materials and so on… so while I understand why the sub-brand, I do agree it doesn’t make sense given they are still on their early market development stages

Today, OnePlus has launched the latest version of its Android 14-based operating system, OxygenOS 14.

The changes in OxygenOS 14 fall under 4 broad categories: "Trinity Engine", Safety and Security, Better Usability, and Aquamorphic Design.

Here's a summary of the new features in OxygenOS 14 🧵

linuxct,
@linuxct@androiddev.social avatar

@MishaalRahman now they got my attention with that one. “Device interconnection” implies other OnePlus devices or components of the device. If it’s the first, this is just a TEE-to-TEE communication mechanism. If it’s the latter, I guess it’s to secure communications between device components relying on the TEE to do so? In either case, I am very interested to try to break into this.

@MishaalRahman A correction: the Titan and other Strongbox implementations are considered embedded Secure Elements or eSE. They are not HSMs.
