shoaloak··on Valve Removed Steam Deck from Steam
Update: back online, thankfully not a victim of the "RAMmageddon"
shoaloak··on There's a high chance of devices being sold with GrapheneOS preinstalled in 2027
Really excited about this! Google has truly fallen from grace with all their embrace, extend, extinguish.

I do hope the Motorola's are a bit repairable though, e.g. no screen glue. Does seem the next phone choice will be between Motorola or Fairphone. Sucks one is likely to choose between security or repairability...

shoaloak··on Extreme Heat conference cancelled due to extreme heat warning
This for sure. I notice quite a difference with 30 degrees in rural Portugal vs the Netherlands. You sweat a lot more due to the higher humidity.
shoaloak··on The quiet art of attention
Nice article, currently reading 'The power of now' by Eckhart Tolle which has essentially the same message, but with more depth and spirituality. Never considered myself spiritual up until now, as life definitely seems easier following the present path.

Anybody with tips or exchanges with regards to Stoicism or other fields such as Bhuddism? I have the feeling it also has these concepts but I am very new with all this.

shoaloak··on Exploiting the iPhone 4
Magnificent post! I read it in one go, being captivated by revealing the closed gardens that are iOS. Only recently got into jailbreaking, so this is perfectly timed. Thank you so much for IMHO the best HN post of 2023.

Errata: Part 5 has trailing ```

shoaloak··on Applying a rule from Pixar with a camera from 1961
A warning for those interested in the camera. I recently got a bit interested in photography and bought myself... an Olympus Pen EE2! However, selenium expires with exposure and mine was a dud. (Couldn't test since bought online). If you want to buy one make sure the selenium is still working.

And yes, I took it apart to look for other faults. even tried a recipe to reionize the cells, but it was completely dead. If you buy one a good sign is if it still has the cap.

shoaloak··on Europe's all-time heat record set in Sicily at nearly 120 degrees
Maybe convert from Fahrenheit to Celsius?
