It needs webgl and wasm, it doesn’t block anything

This is not true. A17 pro is an existing chip that is slower than the A18. It wouldn’t make sense to call A18 A17 instead

I wasn’t defending the photo? Of course water is a bad thing

I was wrong about the hole, but I’d like to point out that full size camera lenses don’t need to be as thin as possible to keep the camera bump in check.

Now that I think about it it is a third microphone. When they came out there were many posts of S20Us’ and note20Us’ camera glasses spontaneously shattering and the consensus from what I read was sudden pressure change. The same thing happened to my previous phone while in my locker (galaxy c9 pro with a single small camera and no hole), so it sounded plausible. And it’s also believable that water doesn’t go in from surface tension alone since the hole is really small

Regardless I forgot that that it was supposed to be a microphone while posting my comments so nevermind

Edit: also phones do normalise air pressure, just get a barometer app and squeeze the phone

Wdym? Water has surface tension and dust is solid, air doesn’t have such limitations. My own phone (note 20 ultra) has an opening under the camera bump to allow air in to relive pressure despite having an ip68 rating.

That’s water and dust resistance, not air

It shouldn’t be air tight, otherwise it could break from pressure changes

Guessing from how this change required 3+ implementations before it became official according to the gitlab page, maybe it’s a chicken and egg situation. Hdr is a lot of work so maybe people don’t want to implement an unfinalized version that might change

Wow the icon saga is finished!?

If anyone wants to throw away a couple hours, there was SO much discussion (and initially drama) over it: https://gitlab.freedesktop.org/wayland/wayland-protocols/-/merge_requests/269

Isn’t apple at 18W?

I have a liquid repellent but it doesn’t work well. Feels like 1) by the time the mosquitos are in its range they’re already inside and can’t figure out how to go back out so they hide in other rooms 2) some mosquitos don’t care at all and keep harassing either way

There weren’t so many around when I lived just a couple kilometers away and I dont live near water neither.

Also 100 - 300 sounds terrifying, glad their numbers are more or less stable through summer

Screens are rare and the house is rented. Mosquitos and the occasional moth are the only wildlife that come in through the window

What scenario are you talking about?? From the article:

NGate malware can relay NFC data from a victim’s card through a compromised device to an attacker’s smartphone, which is then able to emulate the card and withdraw money from an ATM.
…
Masquerading as a legitimate app for a target’s bank, NGate prompts the user to enter the banking client ID, date of birth, and the PIN code corresponding to the card. The app goes on to ask the user to turn on NFC and to scan the card.

Physical card is involved, mobile payments isn’t.

No? The nfc sensor is next to the credit card, which is why it’s able to communicate with it to relay it.

Why would it need to create fake events? How would that even help?

There is nothing being subverted, nfc has applications other than contactless payments that require it acting as the reader, which is why it’s supported. It would be better if it was behind an explicit permission (just like other sensors would) but limiting it to only responding to readers is like limiting Bluetooth to audio transmission.

The fact you can trick the NFC system on the phone into reacting to “phantom” payment events and intercept the resulting token sounds like a pretty big problem.

That’s not what’s happening though? It’s relaying a physical card’s nfc not tricking mobile contactless payments

Gpu brand shouldn’t be a factor, just buy whatever’s better value.

I’ve used nvidia on Wayland for a year and the issues are greatly exaggerated, and if you have a cpu with an igpu you can plug your monitor(s) into the motherboard to get around wayland-related ones (there’s probably some latency impact for games but I can’t tell).

Currently the problems (that I know of) with nvidia drivers are that colors get muted if you enable hdr, steam’s web interfaces appear corrupted or flicker unless you resize them, there is no memory spillover to ram, and the nvidia ‘x server’ settings app doesn’t support wayland.

And keep in mind that issues tend to get resolved over time. When I first built my PC the nvidia gpu would cause xwayland apps to flicker and didn’t support nigth light or transparent panels in kde. The amd igpu would turn the screen pure white if I changed windowing related kde settings. These don’t happen anymore.

Yeah I’m glad reddit’s comment culture didn’t carry over
