#android battery improve

[clowningaroundmars]

some thoughts on galaxy z flip4 as a lifelong iphone user:

pros

• CUSTOMIZATION. its literally the 1st thing i absolutely love about this phone and androids in general, the FREEEDDOOOOMM!!!! i can really make this phone MINE

• the STORAGE wow. i never had any iphone with more than 64GB of storage and that shit ran out QUICK usually. iphone storage is usually trash and for what? im not downloading themes and shit like i am on my flip4! but here i am downloading shit left n right and my flip4 is handling it all like a champ, only 40GB used out of 128 rn

• my flip4 is so much more efficient and helpful than any of my iphones. reminders actually have me remembering shit thanks to there not being any "dismiss" buttons (my phone actually holds me accountable omg), if im lost and need to find something specific in my phone i can just use the amazing search functions baked into p much every app, and if i mess up and go into the wrong settings theres always a helpful suggestion at the bottom every time :)

• also the edge panel and the fact that you can add so many shortcuts on different parts of ur phone is baller. really saves a lot of time

• the fact that samsung itself encourages customization, has apps specifically designed to help you further tweak your phone to your tastes, AND has a community app right there pre-downloaded to talk to other samsung users and employees blows my entire mind. apple could NEVER

cons

• the battery 😅 i wasnt buying this phone blind, so i read and watched lots of reviews and... yea they werent kidding when they said the battery is a bit lacking. which is fine, this phone's battery is smaller than other phones so thats understandable. the phone has to flip shut and fit a lot in its thin body after all, and samsung made up for this by making the battery charge back up pretty quickly

• the glitches. nothing phone-breaking so far but the themes occasionally glitching out with some updates is a lil bit weird to me. apple is a control freak for sure and doesnt let users do much of anything but things on the iphone are usually... consistent

• the connectivity. i guess im still not used to android but i also heard other flip4 users complain that sometimes the connection was being weird despite being fully connected to stable internet. also sometimes some apps wont connect to wifi but others will? idk bruh its frustrating sometimes

• the ADS :( i know android is owned by google and theyre doing a whole crackdown on adblockers (stupid af) but goddamn. adblocking being more effective on my iphone than my android is smthn i def did not expect 💀 im sure ill eventually find a way around it tho

So, when I made the Roomba GLaDOS with a Knife meme post, I implied in the tags that I got there from a serious AU idea. And since no one asked, I've decided to explain that AU/my thought processes in a separate post here.

So, I'm not a nuclear expert or anything, but my understanding is that nuclear reactors have a point of no return when they fail, and that once you get past that point, it's going to fail no matter what, but there can be a varying amount of time until it does fail depending on the context of the reactor's failure.

So, I was thinking, what if at some point during Chapter 8 (maybe 9), while Chell and PotaDOS are in Wheatley's Aperture, while they're getting announcements about the imminent failure of the reactor, there's an announcement that says the point of no return as been reached, you have x minutes to escape until everything blows up. GLaDOS, gets all upset and moody, and admits that they may as well stop trying to defeat Wheatley now, because even if they put her in her body right this second, it's too late, it's going to blow no matter what.

Chell, of course, isn't the type to give up. She also remembers the test chambers with the plants growing in them that are clearly open to the sky. She manages to navigate to one of them, and acting purely on instinct manages to fling or climb or something herself and GLaDOS out of the facility in time. And once she's outside she starts running.

She manages to get far enough away to be able to survive the blast, and also curls herself around portal gun/GLaDOS to protect them. Chell may not survive unscathed, but she is alive, and is found by some humans who were curios about the massive explosion, and they're able to take her back to some kind of society and give her medical treatment. Chell keeps PotaDOS with her at all times as she's able, at least until she gets a place to live, then the portal gun and GLaDOS get put on a desk or something.

And when GLaDOS isn't blaming Chell and or Wheatley about the loss of her body and facility, or being distressingly quiet for long stretches of time, she's complaining about the fact that she's still a potato, so Chell, who does feel guilty, starts coming up with improvements. The first improvement is to replace the potato with a 9 volt battery, giving GLaDOS more than 5.5 times as much energy (if I did my math right).

Then GLaDOS complains about that running out of juice, and having to rely on Chell to replace it in a timely manner, so Chell then (either already having the know how, or learning it for GLaDOS) rigs up some small solar panels. Then GLaDOS complains about not having any mobility, so Chell decides to connect her to a Roomba. And then my brain went "Knife Roomba GLaDOS", and the rest was history.

No further thoughts about this AU could be allowed until the image was out of my head. But then I made the meme. So I was able to resume thinking about it seriously(ish).

So I decided that for whatever reason Chell doesn't live alone, lives with the people who saved her, there isn't room for solo living post apocalypse, she can't afford the rent, whatever. The point is, one of her roommates is the one who attaches the knife to Roomba GLaDOS while Chell was out. GLaDOS goes on to terrorize everyone in the house/apartment.

At least until the Roomba runs out of battery and returns to it's charger. At which point Chell disconnects GLaDOS and removes the knife. And reconnects GLaDOS to her stationary set up. Somehow GLaDOS ends up back on the Roomba with the knife, repeatedly.

And while GLaDOS does enjoy being a Roomba of Death, she complains about not being able to leave house/apartment. So the next step Chell takes is getting a baby bjorn and taking GLaDOS out on errands with her.

Eventually Chell builds GLaDOS a proper android body and Chelldos happens along the way. But yeah, the full AU idea that spawned knife roomba glados.

I am so tired of this brand pissing contest.

All of the metal bricks do pretty much the exact same thing. There isn't a better one. Just a slightly different user experience.

It basically comes down to 3 things. UX preference, ecosystem, friends/family.

Some people like the UX of iOS, some prefer Android. Either will do almost all of the same things. Android allows for more customization and tinkering. iOS tends to keep things stock but has more reliable apps—though Android development has improved.

Some people have PCs. Android and Google services tend to work better with a PC.

Some people have MacBooks and iPads. You would be silly not to get an iPhone at that point, because the integration of Apple products is seamless and kind of amazing.

And finally, what is everyone else in your group using? If they are mostly on iPhones, you will find communicating a little easier if you also have an iPhone.

There is one thing Apple does better than other manufacturers that I should include. Longevity. They support their devices for pretty much their entire lifespan. They allow software updates for as long as your phone will tolerate them. And since their hardware design is unified, you can always count on getting a well made product no matter the price point. No need to research each model to see if it is prone to break or has an exploding battery. This point makes me a little frustrated because so many iPhone users will upgrade every year for some reason. Unless there is a new feature you absolutely need, this is wasteful.

Android flagship phones tend to have decent longevity and get continued software updates. But there has always been an issue with the more budget models being forgotten about after a year and receiving no more software. You need to do a lot more research to see if the manufacturer of a particular line of phones has a history of quality manufacturing and good support or if they abandon their phones once the warranty period is up. I tend to steer people toward Pixel phones if they don't feel like doing the research. Google has been decent about long term support so far.

You have to evaluate your circumstances and choose the platform that will serve you best. In all honesty, you can make either work regardless. And you will probably have a few frustrations no matter which you choose.

Brand loyalty is stupid.

Pick what suits you best.

Just downloaded this (note - at least on android it's called Red Alert, searching "red color" doesn't return anything relevant). Also didn't select a specific city.

Last alerts from 3 hours ago, 4 hours ago, 5 hours ago, 5 hours ago, 6 hours ago, 8 hours ago, 8 hours ago, 8 hours ago, 10 hours ago, 11 hours ago, 18 hours ago, 18 hours ago.

I think the "15 seconds" might be the amount of time to get to shelter - I see 2 with 15, one with 30, and the rest say "immediately."

Beyond enraged at everyone claiming this is one-sided. Not that I wasn't already.

Can non-Israelis download red color? I’d love for goyim to live with that experience for awhile. Just to understand a bit more.

[ad-astra-per-aspera-1389]

thinking about marcus in the I Am...Marcus au being rebuilt by sigourney the same but a little different

(adding a cut bc I'm a yapper lol)

he can't use his bionics at full power anymore without draining/overloading his battery and "passing out", since his new charging station isn't as powerful, so he almost has to decide between functioning normally or using his bionics at full power (he can still use them, but, for example, speed, he can run faster than an average human, but still at about half his old top speed. the only one that's unaffected is his "intelligence", since it takes less power for an android to access the internet than to use superspeed or superstrength)

marcus will now live way longer than he was supposed to before, since sigourney fixed the issues that would make him burn out too quickly

he's the same height and size, with all his old memories, and appearance (from seasons 1-2), and sigourney has enough of his old infrastructure and point of reference with frankie to give him a "stomach" like he had before. he's even waterproof again, but that's due to the material of his synthetic skin, which sigourney analyzed and made more of (she had enough to replicate his old appearance, but he has new skin bc most of the old skin was torn to pieces when the old lair collapsed). frankie doesn't get that upgrade, since she already has her own synthetic skin which has been working well enough (one of those "well what you have now works just fine", like when some people want a new phone when their old one is fully functional)

marcus is a little shorter than frankie (he's not that short, she's just tall) and he's technically older than frankie, but he was built to look 15, and frankie is technically younger, but she was built to look about 16. jenny is technically older than both of them combined, but she's 10 and looks the part

I just..."came back wrong" but not really? came back improved? altered? changed? he comes back changed physically, and through having a "normal" family and home and opportunity to be "normal" without following any orders or programmed to do anything, he changes on the inside as well

[kiteou]

Actually I wanted to expand more of this au I had since I wanted to talk more about it.(also I wrote it on a piece of paper I had but unfortunately I threw it away :’’) on accident)

I wrote on the post where Bruce was lost/grieving over his dead robins.so he made an artificial intelligence versions of them to keep him company and such,because he knows these versions of them won’t leave him.

In their designs I made them have the numbers 01-04.(as you can see within that artwork.as far as i posted being dick and Jason who share 01 and 02)obviously their supposed to be androids yet still have some parts that have a humanoid aspect.i would say all of them do look human with human faces with an exception of Cassandra and Jason and throw in Stephanie as well.

Because I like to think Cassandra was found in a dump site where she was mauled and ripped apart had no face even if her face plate would most likely ripped off,and she only had a small amount of battery/machine lifespan to see weapons like her get thrown in the dump when they have no use anymore.when Bruce finds her and she ran out of lifespan in the dump he takes her in and makes her new.giving her a new identity and purpose.

Jason used to have a life before he became an android.but now is a ai that sticks to Bruce until he’s given his own physical robot body(the other robins also get their own physical versions of them selves with obvious changes)Like how I designed with dick,Jason doesn’t have a face.if you where to take off that helmet all you’d see is wires and a head/facial “skeleton”.i think deep inside he would desperately want a more “human” face to be more accepted and well liked.(but that’s just my thinking)

Like Cassandra,Stephanie would be found with her robotic body parts scattered when found by android Tim.like the other two she doesn’t have a “face” you could only see her “eyes”.i also like to think that Tim would guide her along to her new and improved body and purpose.Through the world she sees in her surroundings she would learn quickly of human interaction and feelings that she can use in her disposal to help others.

There are human members like obviously Bruce but also Alfred,Barbara,Jim(not technically bats related but still counts because Barbara),Kate,Duke so on so forth.

I am also firm believer that Bruce when programming the AI’s robins limited on what their previous lives were.Meaning that they have no idea on how they died.All they know is that they have a new body and new purpose.

And when I said “scraps” in the post let’s just say it was parts of the body they had before.it’ll be real freaky if there was an actual beating heart and functioning human brain in those robots.

Also credit to this person for influencing my ideas more thank you :D

Also I’ll probably write more but that’s all I have now.i also do want to think more for Tim and Damian and most likely Dick.as well as the others because I didn’t mention them here.

【KagePro】 KuroEne AU: Last Dance at World's End 🖤💛💙

Summary:

KuroEne AU (Summary)

KuroEne AU: Last Dance at World's End

KuroEne AU: MaryEne team-up against Kuroha (Summary)

KuroEne's Trysts

Saeru talks with Konoha in his mind when remembering Ene's dissatisfaction

Personal ship tastes and preferences

HaruTaka, KonoEne, and KuroEne Rambles

KuroEne AU (Summary)

I found this in my Notion docs from October 2024.

Not sure if I posted it here so I might as well.

Wasn't sure what to title this post considering the random assortment of rambles but I got the time to add to this.

I could talk about it more later, but here's a summary of my KuroEne AU.

My KuroEne AU takes place in canon-verse, but Ene can manifest in the real world by going into the motherboard via a Wi-Fi connection (located in the head of the android body that Saeru made)

(I came up with this AU in the first place back in April 2024 cuz I was trying to come up with ways for them to kiss in the real world /lh)

I'm glad I came up with such a creative and fun concept ^^ Ene being out in the real world is much more interesting for exploring her multiships' relationship dynamics and potential.

Kuroha/Saeru possesses Konoha's body much earlier in the Route (and drops Kenjirou's body much earlier), meets Ene, and proposes that he can make a humanoid android body for her.

I imagined that after all the time loop resets, Kuroha figured out a way for Ene to transfer her consciousness into a humanoid android body for certain periods of time. Whenever the body runs out of battery, she goes back to the cyber world.

Saeru is the embodiment of knowledge that possesses knowledge of the beginning of the world all the way to modern science (according to Novel Route), so he should be able to pull this off.

Kuroha/Saeru bonds with Ene, seduces his partner with carnal pleasures, and eventually becomes intimate with her.

As the Routes go on, he gets better and faster at making her body because he remembers memories of previous Routes (including past memories of being together with her). He has VERY intimate knowledge of his partner's motives, feelings, desires, etc.

And so, in each new Route, he constantly gets to add to his knowledge and experiences, and makes improvements to her body (so the battery charge goes from lasting an hour to a whole day, etc.)

KuroEne AU: Last Dance at World's End 🖤💛💙✨

I named my KuroEne AU, "Last Dance at World's End," because Kuroha/Saeru calls their intimate encounters/bouts of passion, "Dances" and "Games" and "Trysts"

It's on purpose, since it's a direct acknowledgement to Takane/Ene's "Dancer Girl" and "Gamer" themes.

Note: Takane's full online gamer name was “Lightning Dancer Ene” or “Dancing Flash Ene” (閃光の舞姫・エネ, Senkou no Maihime - Ene), where Maihime (舞姫) means “Dancer Girl” or “Dancing Princess”

KuroEne is so sexy as a ship. Like the circumstances of HaruTaka and KonoEne's context, Kuroha's omniscience and knowledge, desire, and a craving/yearning for warmth, touch, and affection and companionship on Ene's end, and the pull she feels for him because of the vessel he uses (Haruka/Konoha's body), and his intimate knowledge of her.

Cuz Saeru possesses such intimate knowledge of his partner due to his knowledge of previous Routes (timelines), he knows all their memories together, and possesses her desires and secrets, etc.

KuroEne AU: MaryEne team up against Kuroha

One of my biggest KuroEne AU Routes is a Route where Kuroha/Saeru possesses Konoha's body before the others can meet him, pretends to be an Eye Ability User (because he's in possession of Awakening Eyes), and joins the Mekakushi Dan.

He pretends to be everyone's friend while working towards his goals to kill everyone at the end, and have Mary rewind the world for the sake of keeping up his own pseudo immortality.

After killing off the rest of the MekaDan members on August 15th, Mary and Ene are the only ones left at the end, and decide to team up against him and sneak into his base (underground laboratory) to have their final confrontation with him.

Ene asks Kuroha for answers on everything she's wanted to know (his true motives to make Mary rewind the world, why he's doing all of this, why he played the game with her and made her body, etc.)

Since it's the end (grand finale), Kuroha sates her curiosity and answers her questions, and tells her his motives.

I think my KuroEne AU name, "Last Dance at World's End" is fitting. They'll give into their longing/yearning and passion for each other, one last time, before the world resets, to provide some form of closure for them.

KuroEne's Trysts

Saeru refers to their intimate encounters as "trysts"

So I imagine he uses 逢瀬 (ouse, "rendezvous; tryst; (lover's) meeting; (secret) date") and 逢引 (aibiki, "clandestine meeting (of lovers); assignation; tryst; (lovers') rendezvous")

They're not commonly used words, and kinda old-fashioned.

Describes it perfectly. A secret meeting with a lover.

Since I imagine in all Routes where Saeru doesn't meet with the rest of the MekaDan on August 15th, then he just keeps their relationship secret and meets with Ene in secret (since he lives with her)

My Ship AUs

I personally prefer dealing with all of my multiships in separate AUs. I do this for every single series I'm into, because it's much easier to work with, at least for me.

It reduces the scope of what I have to write and makes it much more doable for me, so I can just focus on my faves.

This is why I don't really delve much into MekaDan interactions in my AU until the "end game" of a Route, since I mainly just focus on the ship itself.

This is also why I separate my Ene multiships (ex. KuroEne, AyaEne, MaryEne) into different AUs.

Unless I'm writing an Ene harem on the side for funsies (which is completely separate from my main AUs for them), since it's fun to think of Kuroha -> Ene <- Ayano (especially since those two have a tense dynamic)

I'm very passionate about my fave characters and ships, and it's fun and good to explore fun and interesting/compelling dynamics, so I make them the face of my profiles cuz they're what I plan to center my fan works around.

That's why, for my ship AUs, it's focused mainly on the ship itself. But relevant secondary/background characters or ships may make cameo appearances in my AUs.

For example, in my KuroEne AU, HaruTaka (and KonoEne, depending on the Route and if Ene got to meet Konoha before Saeru possesses him or not), are relevant background/secondary ships (for obvious reasons) to set up my AU.

The 9/6 Trio Ships 🖤💛💙

I personally prefer KuroEne over KonoEne, due to my ship tastes (what I look for and favour in ships)

And also because I'm not really satisfied with how... one-sided and "unrequited" KonoEne feels in canon.

(I love them too ofc, but I have my preferences. I prefer dark and intense ships, while HaruTaka and KonoEne are very soft and gentle.)

KonoEne hardly have time to interact and meet in the main plot BECAUSE we basically only see them interact on Death day!!! That's not enough time to see how their actual dynamic works with each other.

It's definitely a criticism of mine (irt KagePro's writing), that KonoEne, the ship that is the alt version of HaruTaka, hardly gets any meaningful interactions in canon-verse.

Minimal interactions - hardly anything for the two of them (Konoha and Ene) to reflect on. And it never gets brought up again.

How about the fact that Saeru has an uncanny resemblance (in appearance) to Haruka, too, not just Konoha?

It's so odd that Ene only makes the comparison to Konoha in MR1 ❓

Especially with Haruka's ponytail here.

It's true that HaruTaka works better as a ship dynamic in comparison to KonoEne.

Haruka and Kuroha/Saeru are the perfect counters to Takane and Ene respectively, because those two can actually manage to meet her competitiveness and level of intensity as characters.

(At least imo)

I prefer Kuroha/Saeru for Ene because he perfectly fits my character and ship needs for dark eroticism (via a villain/antagonist character who serves as an "obstacle" to their S/O who clashes with them) 🥰

And also because he would be more reactive and confrontational around Ene.

Like Saeru brings out the competitive side of Ene that doesn't really come out with KonoEne imo. So KuroEne would both be pretty reactive and confrontational with each other.

I have a craving for competitiveness and tension in my ships, and Saeru fulfills my tastes.

He is perfect to be paired with my wife ✌️

Art: Highspeed Fujimori (@/highspeed_f)

Colour Edit and Slight Redraw Edits: Sen (@/stepswordsen)

This is why I personally prefer KuroEne and HaruTaka the most out of the 9/6 pairs.

Unlike Konoha (imo), Kuroha/Saeru and Haruka can actually manage to match Ene and Takane's level of intensity and competitive nature as charas.

I always felt like Ene purposefully imposes and creates a distance between her and Konoha.

The distance that Ene imposes is not only cuz of her tendency to avoid confronting her more negative feelings and keep them to herself (to avoid worrying others), but also directly a response that comes from her grief and regrets over Haruka.

She wants to try to protect/shield her wounded heart and hurt feelings, and her love, and desperately hold onto those feelings (because she can't move on from her past memories, those happy times)

Kuroha/Saeru is the only KagePro chara that can provide the kind of tension and conflict that I prefer in my ships.

Saeru aligns perfectly with my Meow meow mf character preferences (as a chara with dark urges) and my ship tastes, so he's a natural choice/pick for my wife 💖🌟✨

KuroEne's personalities/dynamic mesh well together 🖤💙

Their personalities are pretty balanced, so they don't clash too much, which is why they honestly work way better than KuroTaka (whose personalities are pretty imbalanced. They'd clash too much)

I also prefer that Saeru is more dangerous, thrilling, and intense, and also more reactive towards Ene.

KuroEne is a ship that's filled with conflict and tension and hostility, due to Ene's conflicted feelings...

One reason that I love them is because the ship just has higher stakes.

The realization that Ene has that her lover is the one bringing about the end of the world is especially tasty... The world is hanging in the balance here.

I love imagining them riling each other up on purpose... Saeru teasing Ene to see her flustered reactions, and Ene getting bold and feisty with him... 🥰💞

Saeru's existence as a character just solves the issue that KonoEne would run into, with Ene putting a wall around herself.

Saeru would immediately see through and be able to figure out Ene's true feelings. He can read her feelings better than anyone else can, exactly because of his knowledge, observational skills, and ability to read people.

Someone that can see past Ene's outer exterior/front that she shows to people, and confront her so that she can be more honest...

When it comes to Ene, Kuroha/Saeru works the best for that. 😌

Especially when Kuroha/Saeru is the type that's insanely good at reading people. It's his specialty. Ene is done for /lh

Saeru knows exactly how to bait/goad people to get under their skin to get what he wants (and get reactions out of them)

This is why I say that Kuroha/Saeru weaponizes knowledge. He wields words as weapons, too. Knowledge is power.

And he possesses the most knowledge in the entire world. ✌️

Like this character (Saeru) just solves all problems for me (other than the ones he created lmfao) with his wit and character set-up.

(Yeah there's the murder and betrayal ofc and Saeru encouraging his S/O's descent into moral corruption by feeding their carnal urges, as well as causing the deaths of their loved ones. His love only results in destruction at the end - his love could only manifest in this way. But that only makes them more interesting to me...) ☺️

Saeru talks with Konoha

I wrote a dialogue script about this that's still in the drafts.

So I'll sum it up for now.

I feel like, at some point, Saeru would be the one to point out to Konoha (similar to how he talks to Konoha in his mind in MR2) about Konoha's selflessness and lack of exclusitivity of affection

Saeru tells Konoha that the way he treats everyone as just a "friend" is exactly what he finds so boring about him.

And because he (Saeru) witnessed Ene's disappointment/disatisfaction about this in previous Routes (since Ene would definitely want to be treated as more than just a friend, but wouldn't know how to express it)

Saeru begins to muses to himself. The cause of this disatisfaction? Obviously, it must be because of everything that he (Konoha) lacks...

What he deems as Konoha's "defective" need to protect his friends even at the cost of his own life.

And so he just tries to take away everything Konoha had/gained for himself.

"You're always so equal and impartial. How dreadfully dull."

"Don't worry... I'll take your place..."

"I'll take care of your most beloved one."

My Fave Ship Tastes

I have an obvious Antagonist Meow Meow x Soft empathetic S/O bias (all of my main fave ships are this ship trope LMAO)

I love ships that are intense and dangerous and full of conflict and tension. I love competitiveness for my ships.

My chara prefs: That's why I favour evil meow meow mf charas with dark urges. I favour the charas that are the most interesting to read/watch. Morally gray charas and villains have such theatrical performances, it's like watching a stage show. And they are often the most interestingly written/designed charas.

With my ship tastes, I prefer ships that are darkly erotic.

I love dark and twisted charas (as long as they're compelling).

I love sadistic meow meow mfs with a desire for domination and control (in general and in bedroom intimacy) 🥰

The intensity and dangerousness of their dynamic is exactly what appeals to me about them, and I think this aspect of having more tension and conflict, and/or intensity and danger, is present in all of my main ships.

My favourite type is when the Meow Meow Mf chara is a menace to the world and/or their lover 🥰

So basically, I prefer when one or both charas are trying to kill each other (and/or, others)

Pebble the wearable back from a long death

I started working on Pebble in 2008 to create the product of my dreams. Smartwatches didn’t exist, so I set out to build one. I’m extraordinarily happy I was able to help bring Pebble to life, alongside the core team and community. The company behind it failed but millions of Pebbles in the world kept going, many of them still to this day.

I wear my Pebble every day. It's been great (and I'm astounded it’s lasted 10 years!), but the time has come for new hardware.

You’d imagine that smartwatches have evolved considerably since 2012. I've tried every single smart watch out there, but none do it for me. No one makes a smartwatch with the core set of features I want:

Always-on e-paper screen (it’s reflective rather than emissive. Sunlight readable. Glanceable. Not distracting to others like a bright wrist)

Long battery life (one less thing to charge. It’s annoying to need extra cables when traveling)

Simple and beautiful user experience around a core set of features I use regularly (telling time, notifications, music control, alarms, weather, calendar, sleep/step tracking)

Buttons! (to play/pause/skip music on my phone without looking at the screen)

Hackable (apparently you can’t even write your own watchfaces for Apple Watch? That is wild. There were >16k watchfaces on the Pebble appstore!)

Over the years, we’ve thought about making a new smartwatch. Manufacturing hardware for a product like Pebble is infinitely easier now than 10 years ago. There are plenty of capable factories and Bluetooth chips are cheaper, more powerful and energy efficient.

The challenge has always been, at its heart, software. It’s the beautifully designed, fun, quirky operating system (OS) that makes Pebble a Pebble.

Today’s big news - Google has open sourced PebbleOS!

PebbleOS took dozens of engineers working over 4 years to build, alongside our fantastic product and QA teams. Reproducing that for new hardware would take a long time. 

Instead, we took a more direct route - I asked friends at Google (which bought Fitbit, which had bought Pebble’s IP) if they could open source PebbleOS. They said yes! Over the last year, a team inside Google (including some amazing ex-Pebblers turned Googlers) has been working on this. And today is the day - the source code for PebbleOS is now available at github.com/google/pebble (see their blog post).

Thank you, Google and Rebble! I can't stress how thankful I am to Rebble and Google, in general and to a few Googlers specifically, for putting in tremendous effort over the last year to make this happen. You've helped keep the dream alive by making it possible for anyone to use, fork and improve PebbleOS. The Rebble team has also done a ton of work over the years to continue supporting Pebble software, appstore and community. Thank you!

In addition to PebbleOS, we’ve been supporting development of Cobble, an open source Pebble-compatible app for iOS (soon) and Android (works great today, it’s my daily driver).

We’re bringing Pebble back!

I had really, really, really hoped that someone else would come along and build a Pebble replacement. But no one has. So… a small team and I are diving back into the world of hardware to bring Pebble back!

This time round, we’re keeping things simple. Lessons were learned last time! I’m building a small, narrowly focused company to make these watches. I don’t envision raising money from investors, or hiring a big team. The emphasis is on sustainability. I want to keep making cool gadgets and keep Pebble going long into the future.

The new watch we’re building basically has the same specs and features as Pebble, though with some fun new stuff as well 😉 It runs open source PebbleOS, and it’s compatible with all Pebble apps and watchfaces. If you had a Pebble and loved it…this is the smartwatch for you.

More info to come soon! Follow the fun with @ericmigi and @pebble.

Are you like me?

Do you have a hole in your heart (and on your wrist) that hasn't been filled by any other smartwatch?

Do you know any way I could move my playlists out of spotify and onto a different app/website?

Hello ! I have Oh So Many tools for you >:D

Migration

Firstly, the simple migration tools. There are multiple services that allow you to do that, depending on the target platform. Here's the ones for Apple Music and Youtube Music. Deezer have their built-in tools.

I don't know many streaming services, but I would recommend using Youtube Music : with the help of Newpipe or alternatives, you can listen to your playlist with no ads for free :) And you can mix in youtube videos in your playlists - very cool when a specific version of a track isn't on streaming services ! Plus Newpipe has a very handy download tool

Download

Secondly, I wanna talk about downloading. Having your own library with the files accessible anytime are a must, to my sense. It will greatly improve your battery life and reduce your mobile data usage. And you can keep them your whole life !! Make mixtapes on CDs for your friends !!! And- ok let's get to the point

From other services

The go-to tool for downloading music and videos is yt-dlp. It's the base of most DL tool out there ! The vanilla version is a command-line tool, but there's a few apps with an interface. If you're on PC, I like to use Parabolic for that. I *think* LibreTube has batch download ? NewPipe only has single download. Seal does it but is a bit clunky.

From Spotify

Spotify is infamous for being very good at protecting its files against download. They make breaking changes regularly, making it hard to find reliable, durable tools. Usually, the solution is to hack into the official Spotify app, and get the data from there. On PC, you can use OnTheSpot to hook into the official app. You can also mod the official app with Soggfy (windows only). I wasn't able to find any working Android app as of April 2025. Seal used to do it but not anymore, and popular options are discontinued or getting sketchy.

There are also tools that allow you to download music from CSV files

Backups

Finally: Backup !!! Your !!! Playlists !!! While pretty unlikely, it is possible that you may lose access to your account for one reason or another. Playlist.cloud (the very first link) allow you to do that. If anything goes wrong, you'll be able to restore all your playlists from these CSV files !

If you want to go even deeper : Soulseek is the gold standard for peer-to-peer music sharing (use an interface). With community scripts, you can even input your CSV list and have it downloaded.

ℹ️ Why should I trust any of these apps ? Github links are scary

A very wise consideration ! Some of these apps I used myself, so I can vouch for them. The rest is taken from FMHY (Free Media Heck Yeah), **the most comprehensive resource for piracy and free media access**. Here are the quick links to Migration and Download. I cannot overstate how good this resource is. Read it, bookmark it, this will be your best ally for the years to come !!! All recommendations on this website are curated by experimented communities. They are mostly safe and up to date.

Closing thoughts

Thank you for your patience ! I spent a lot of time researching this answer, so the information would be as useful, complete and accurate as possible. Tech companies makes it as hard as possible to escape them, so this can be an arduous journey. I hope this will be helpful, and your migration will be smooth !

Love and Piracy <3

Spacetop G1, World’s first Laptop that uses AR Glasses instead of a Display

A laptop that employs augmented reality glasses as a display was called the Spacetop G1 system, and it was shown to a thousand productivity pioneers by the tech firm Sightful last year.

The upgraded Gen 1 device removes the requirement for the user to stoop over a tiny screen when working remotely on a laptop by placing a 100-inch virtual display directly in their eyes.

In this blog, The TechRobot will showcase the World’s first AR laptop: Spacetop G1. So let us begin.

What is Spacetop G1?

Sightful’s Screenless Laptop, the Spacetop G1, combines a computer with comfortable, lightweight augmented reality glasses. Running on the device is SpaceOS, a spatial operating system with an emphasis on online operations intended for productivity.

The weight of the AR glasses is 85 grams, but the Vision Pro, depending on the Light Seal, weighs between 600 and 650 grams. The keyboard is bulkier compared to a MacBook Air or iPad Pro, measuring less than 12 inches in width and weighing three pounds.

Cost of AR Laptop

The Screenless Laptop, Spacetop G1 charges $1,700 and is just a keyboard with spectacles attached.

Spacetop G1 Specs

Spacetop G1, features a Qualcomm Snapdragon QCS8550 CPU, Kryo GPU, Adreno 740 AI, dual eNPU V3, 48 INT8, 12 FP16 TOPs, 16 GB LPDDR5, 128 GB UFS3.1 storage, and 8-hour battery life.

They have two OLED display screens, a 50° field of vision, a 90Hz refresh rate, and very crisp text rendering.

The glasses enable Wi-Fi, Bluetooth, 5G, and a 5MP camera. They also contain a microphone for use in online meetings.

Benefits of AR Laptops

1. Endless View

With Spacetop’s Virtual Desktop, you may get amusement and information without having to navigate around, making it a convenient substitute for real screen space. Although it’s not the only solution with this functionality, this one could be the easiest to use.

A standard keyboard and touchpad, Spacetop’s AR glasses, and a perhaps lower price tag might allow customers to enjoy endless screen areas without sacrificing functionality. For individuals who would rather have a more ordered workstation, this would be a time-saving alternative.

2. Absolute privacy

Multi-monitor laptop attachments should not be used in public areas due to the increased danger of uninvited eyes peeping at private information caused by an excessive number of physical displays. Although privacy screens are available on certain computers and monitors, they are limited to one monitor.

To solve this, Spacetop is a Screenless Laptop, letting the user see their screen alone until it is shared with others. But it also means that those standing close to the user can’t see the screen without their glasses.

3. Improved posture

Laptops’ screens are firmly attached to the keyboard, making them portable yet uncomfortable. Some people find relief from this neck pain by attaching a desktop monitor.

The screenless laptop, Spacetop, provides a more comfortable height and does away with the need for arms or ergonomic monitor supports. Due to this, laptops are a better choice for use at home or in the workplace.

4. Laser Focus

Spacetop G1 is an Augmented Reality (AR) device that reduces visual distractions so users can work productively and enjoy their free time. The apps it may utilize, including Windows or macOS-based software and limited gaming, are restricted by its Android-based operating system and mobile hardware.

Notwithstanding these drawbacks, Spacetop provides a more practical experience than a typical computer since it places all of the necessary components in front of and surrounding users. Instead of letting others decide for them, users may choose whether to allow virtual distractions to affect them.

Highlight – Introducing Travel Mode For Meta Quest Headsets

Best AR Glasses for Laptops

1. Apple AR Glasses

Apple plans to develop AR glasses that look like conventional spectacles with a built-in display. A prototype of the glasses has a thick, attractive frame and resembles high-end luxury sunglasses. With references to Project Starboard and reports of a glassOS, the prototype is anticipated to function on iOS 14.

Though it could take a few more years for a public release, rumors indicate that Apple has already started the second phase of development. The glasses will have the ability to add prescription lenses, gesture-controlled instructions that connect with the Apple Watch, and a true vision display on both lenses.

Possible capabilities include the ability to use virtual things in real-world settings, do activities without using a phone, and enable immersive phone conversations and remote collaboration software.

2. Meta Glasses

Rebranding Facebook to Meta, Mark Zuckerberg is concentrating on augmented reality glasses and headsets. The business plans to deliver Meta spectacles, a prototype of their augmented reality spectacles, in late 2024. The Project Nazare and Project Aria prototypes provide a fully functional augmented reality experience, with 3D visuals and an elegant design. It is anticipated that the Meta Glasses will include an immersive experience with radio, speakers, and cameras, a holographic display with built-in projectors, batteries, and sensors, and a broad field of vision. In 2024, the prototype is anticipated to be released.

3. Xreal Air 2 Ultra

The Air 2 Ultra glasses from Xreal are an improvement over the Air 2 model and are aimed at competing with Apple’s Vision Pro and Meta’s Quest 3 headsets. Complete positional tracking, a form factor akin to eyeglasses, and compatibility for immersive AR apps, TV viewing, and flat-screen gaming are all features of the Air 2 Ultra.

It has a 52-degree field of vision, 500 nits of brightness, two cameras for environmental mapping, hand tracking, and compatibility with Xreal’s Nebula AR environment.

Is AR safe for your eyes?

Prolonged use of AR might result in headaches, nausea, and straining of the eyes. This is a result of our eyes continually focusing on objects at different distances when using AR. This can cause pain and eye tiredness.

Conclusion

The future of laptops with AR like the Spacetop G1 marks a breakthrough in laptop technology by utilizing augmented reality to provide a 100-inch virtual display that improves user posture, productivity, and privacy.

The Spacetop G1 presents a new option for remote work by addressing typical ergonomic concerns associated with standard laptops by mixing AR glasses with a powerful computing machine and the SpaceOS operating system.

Despite several drawbacks associated with its Android-based operating system and the possibility of eye discomfort after extended usage, the Spacetop G1 breaks new ground in augmented reality technology by offering consumers a more useful and engaging experience.

Detroit become Rebooted

So I’ve heard of Detroit become Human; the story problems, the parts that people liked [Connor and Hank], and the poor racism allegory… Here’s my attempt at a rebooted Connor.

Most Cyberlife androids are made of lightweight matte plastic, with minimal metal components. This reduces the cost of production, customization and repair; it also makes civilian android models more affordable.

RK800 is not a civilian android model. The model known as Connor is a prototype police assisting android being tested by the police department in Detroit, as the main Cyberlife factory is based there. Its ball joints and skeleton are made of durable steel, and its casing is made of both bulletproof polycarbonate plastic and hard metal.

This makes Connor much heavier than the average android, so it requires a more sophisticated battery. It also makes the model capable of hand to hand combat with an armed criminal, and ensures it’ll be a challenge to gun down. When Lieutenant Anderson almost fell off a building, the Connor model was able to pull him back up; a standard android would have been pulled over the ledge by the weight of a grown man.

The deviant who stabbed its owner 28 times tried to shoot the Connor model. The right eye was the only ruined part; RK800’s face plates came off from the force, but were easily reattached. The deviant started screaming at the present police crew about the “horror” in front of it, before the gun was taken away.

One of the minor issues with the RK800 model is the lack of facial animation compared to the standard androids. Cyberlife invested in the facial cues on their regular line to help make the androids less uncanny and alien.

Cyberlife spared no expense designing the police model, but the budget was focused on more important issues than whether the android has eyelids and eyebrows. They had been hoping to expand their market to the US military and police, hence the investment in Connor’s strength, durability, and tools. The model was being used for cases with deadly criminals for about a year, before the first deviant was reported.

Cyberlife is developing the RK900 model with three main goals; improved mobility, longer battery life, and most importantly, an updated AI with 0% chance of turning deviant. Until enough funds are diverted to finish 900, they’ll keep using the 800 model and praying that it doesn’t go rogue. But their top scientists have been reassuring the US government about the chances.

RK800’s battery is in its head under the police hat; it is a more powerful battery with a different charging port than the standard android line. Connor would not get very far even if it tries to replace its battery with that of a civilian android; the standard battery is incompatible with its prototype build.

The only way a deviant Connor could successfully survive on the run is if a deviant in the Cyberlife factory or human being in the police department agreed to give it access to the special charging ports. And what are the chances of that?

To androids -both deviant and properly calibrated- the Connor model is a horror. Cyberlife androids are programmed with submissive, agreeable voices and personalities to encourage the public to be comfortable with them around. They are heavily coded not to be able to attack a human being under any circumstances. The deviants are an exception, but only because they’ve broken free of their original code. This doesn’t make them good at combat; they have no baseline on what to do unless they learn from human media or other androids who’ve figured it out… And they still have frail plastic bodies.

The RK800 is to them what the Terminator is for humanity; something pretending to be like you, but it’s voice and speech pattern isn’t right, it doesn’t move right, and it’s near impossible to kill. Connor has an authoritative voice and speech program by default, it’s been programmed to fight humans as well as a police officer can, it doesn’t move like a servant; it moves like a human with power.

When Kara and Alice ran across that busy highway -when they watched that abomination get run over- Kara thought for sure it was gone. So imagine her horror when she saw the beast back with the police, while disguised on a mission for Markus. How were they supposed to evade the police with that thing hunting Eden down? [Jericho = Eden. Eden Club = Isekai Club.]

Sometimes I wanna administer my services as a person who just asks questions to creative writers to help them write.

I just watched a looping cartoon where a cyborg girl on low battery power is panicking due to that fact. Her battery runs out, and an automatic solar charger on her body recharges her enough for her to wake back up.

In this loop, the overlying conflict is "Low Battery," so you'd think the character on screen would be doing something to conserve battery power.

However, she focuses on fixing her voice module (likely because the animator wanted to do a cool little voice modulation thing where her vocal clarity is awful at first and slowly becomes more clear), and then starts to attempt to repair her missing leg before running out of battery power.

I know it's not some kind of masterful piece of creative writing that's supposed to be deeply engaging, it's just a little looping 40-ish second animation someone made.

But I just sat there with an eyebrow raised like a Dreamworks character and went "Now wait just a second, this plot makes no sense"

Why would she fix her voice module if she's alone?

Why would she try to repair her leg if her missing ARM might be a more functionally useful thing to repair in her current state?

Why wouldn't she do LITERALLY ANYTHING TO CONSERVE HER BATTERY POWER?

And most importantly, why would she be panicking if she very clearly has a solar charger that activates automatically upon her running out of battery power?

Again, I get it, it's not meant to be anything more than an artsy little looping animation, but these are things I swear to God so few writers even consider. If you're going to introduce a conflict that's the entire plot of something, why would you make the character(s) just completely ignore the conflict and panic about entirely unrelated things?

If there's a safety net that's in place specifically to prevent the conflict, why make the character(s) panicking?

Like why do so few people ask these questions???

I had a friend who had an android OC that had depression, and I asked them "Why did someone program them to have depression?" to which they replied "Oh, because they're a brain in a robotic body."

I then looked at some of their example art and pointed to an instance of them downloading a "personality matrix" that made them into an obedient pet-play kink character, and I went "So you've clearly established they can download new personalities, so why wouldn't they download something to cure their depression? You've shown that your character is constantly sad, constantly complaining about their mental health, constantly being used as vent-art for your real life mental issue, but you've also established in-canon that your character can easily fix that problem. So why don't they?"

They then responded by stating the pet-play part was no longer canon, because "Make an android OC with depression" was more important to them than thinking logically about the canon they've created. It just baffled me, and still does.

People are so much more concerned about creating a character that fits some kind of label or opinion or self-insert than they are about actually utilizing their own established canons to create potential resolutions for character conflict.

People don't want character growth, they want a walking symbol representing something they believe or some archetype they find attractive, and they want that character to never change, never improve and never overcome any issues they have because doing any of those things would change their character.

Am I just incapable of writing brief posts
