Not hacks, (malicious?) incompetency.

We had to freeze iOS 26 deployment because Apple fucked up something with the content filter that some enterprise softwares uses (ex: CrowdStrike) that when broken (seems random so far..) blocks all network traffic, requiring a factory reset, since the only way to disable the content filter is through the MDM.

Absolutely not impressed with that one.

Some don't even bother, and the only thing they update (when they remember about it) is their business hours on Google Maps.

PebbleOS was quite polished compared to the other RTOS out there. The animations were smooth most of the time, and responsiveness was great, the concept of the timeline is genius. The Pebble team made sure that it was accomplishing its main purpose (always displaying time, and time related events) really well, and then built everything around that.

I hope this revival will be sustainable and bring back some of that brilliance.

Pantone doesn't work for metal and reflective surfaces, because as the poster above said, reflections and viewing angles have an impact.

A good example of what happens when poor communication and lack of transparency collides..

I got mine from the Kickstarter, and it didn't came with the little tape. Those connectors are now corroded as f..

Personally I don't mind if the purpose is increased privacy and that the processing is done locally.

Some great examples are the local translation engine and I believe they also added or are in the process to add a small engine that can describe images and provide caption on-demand, which is a great step towards accessibility.

So if Google doesn't like the app in question (such as ReVanced, NewPipe, etc), they can simply target that signing key to completely disable the app on all devices, even if it's not distributed by them.

Having the file signed by a relatively centralized authority makes it much easier for Google to gain control outside of their realm.

I used it but I had various amount of success. I bought an HDD enclosure that would mount the ISO/VHD/FDD image at the hardware level (IODD is the brand), and that worked mostly consistently.

A bit expensive, but when you rely on it for work it's worth investing a bit of money.
