The mobile S-curve ends, and the AI S-curve begins (archive.ph)
 

TLDR

S-curve products are fueled by novelty. This is why there is a rush of new users without much marketing effort whenever there are major tech releases. There is both high growth and high churn in the early stages of an S-curve. The skills needed to succeed in a late S-curve market are very different. Investors will be looking for products that are radically different. A good design can help differentiate late S-curve products.

What's a good phone now that doesn't force ads on me? in c/[email protected]
[–] catculation 6 points 10 months ago (1 children)

As far as I know Motorola and Pixel are the only OEMs with no ads or bloatware. For samsung you need to debloat and turn off notifications.

Their ads are mostly self promotion and bloatware apps. In my device I had to turn off notifications for most of the pre installed apps.

Has Google’s search results drastically declined for anyone else? in c/[email protected]

TL;DR MIT researchers have developed an antitampering ID tag that is tiny, cheap, and secure. It is several times smaller and significantly cheaper than the traditional radio frequency tags that are used to verify product authenticity. The tags use glue containing microscopic metal particles. This glue forms unique patterns that can be detected using terahertz waves. The system uses AI to compare glue patterns and calculate their similarity. The tags could be used to authenticate items too small for traditional RFIDs.

Yeah they should put the binaries under release. But I think they didn't found a way to automate release with KMM.

There is a self hosted alternative for google photos if you have NAS. I don't remember the name and it's not nextcloud but that project have web and mobile apps to sync and they catalog photos with face and name similar to google. If you are specifically looking for storing and syncing photos mega.nz is decent but pricey alternatively pClound offers one time purchase during holiday season which is much more affordable.
