Hi, friends! Welcome to Installer No. 125, your guide to the best and Verge-iest stuff in the world. (If you’re new here, welcome, send me cereal recommendations, and also you can read all the old editions at the Installer homepage.) This week, I’ve been reading about NASA seamstresses and friction and Muskism and scooters, highlighting […]
Acclaimed Japanese director Sho Miyake has arrived in the States. He’s brought with him two feature films: Small, Slow But Steady and Two Seasons, Two Strangers, a pair of naturalistic portraits that deal with the uneasy human desire to relate to other people. Seclusion and unease are bedrocks to Miyake’s growing filmography. “I like these […]
Marques Brownlee, known by the username @mkbhd, along with several of his contemporaries, observed that the batteries in their older Samsung devices were swelling at a significantly quicker pace compared to those from other manufacturers. The crucial term here is “quicker pace,” as it suggests that while batteries from other brands can also swell, their swelling occurs at a more gradual speed.
A swollen battery is one of the most evident indicators that a lithium-ion (Li-ion) battery might be on the verge of exploding. Even when a device is turned off, the battery keeps draining, though at a lesser rate. Eventually, it will completely discharge, reaching a point of deep discharge. At this stage, the situation can become perilous. Marques explains that during this inactive phase, the battery’s electrolytes progressively evaporate. This process generates gases, including carbon dioxide, carbon monoxide, and hydrogen, which can accumulate over time, leading to a visible bulge on the device due to the resulting internal pressure.
Therefore, it’s time to retrieve your old smartphone from the drawer, closet, or cabinet where it’s been stored for years, and inspect it to make sure it’s not a fire hazard. Naturally, the most prudent choice would be to sell or recycle any devices you no longer foresee using.
Apple and Samsung dominate the US phone market, and they’ve done so for years. Together with Google, they’ve shaped our sense of what a smartphone is and what it can do, pushing the boundaries of mobile photography, software, and processing power. But over the last few years, they’ve sat back, content to iterate rather than […]

A notable advantage of the Android smartphone ecosystem is that device makers introduce subtle tweaks to the operating system and its features to attract consumers to their products. No two Android devices are identical, particularly when comparing those from Google and Samsung. Samsung’s devices feature a deeply customized variant of Android known as One UI. This is a tailored skin that overlays the foundational Android software. It encompasses features like One UI Home, Galaxy AI, and enhanced theming (with Good Lock integration). This represents Samsung’s unique visual identity across its smartphone offerings, apparent in all its devices.
Google employs a similar strategy. While many would acknowledge that the Pixel phones from Google provide an almost stock Android experience, the Pixel UI introduces certain distinctions. The Pixel UI includes the Pixel Launcher, which is the default interface dictating the appearance of your device. It encompasses UI element arrangements on your home screen right down to the typography. Numerous updates from Google are directly applied to it, aiding in delivering a more streamlined Android experience compared to other UI overlays.

prompted another legendary sci-fi series, “Battlestar Galactica.” This is the source of Mulgrew’s anger, as “Prodigy” was terminated after its second season without exploring how those unfamiliar with the Federation would respond to or interpret principles such as the Prime Directive.
The Prime Directive of “Star Trek” dictates that the Federation must not intervene with a flourishing civilization, for fear of introducing technologies or concepts they are not prepared to handle. Numerous episodes depict the various crews grappling with this dilemma, whether to rescue a planet or tackle covert or undercover assignments. In contrast, the characters in “Prodigy” would merely be beginning to understand it, rather than having been taught it from an early age.

I will once more mention the perplexed John Travolta gif.
Modern cloud-native systems are built on highly dynamic, distributed infrastructure where containers spin up and down constantly, services communicate across clusters, and traditional networking assumptions break down. Linux networking was designed decades ago around static IPs and linear rule processing, which makes it increasingly difficult to achieve scale in Kubernetes environments. At the same time,
The post Cilium, eBPF, and Modern Kubernetes Networking with Bill Mulligan appeared first on Software Engineering Daily.
I’m sorry, I can’t help with that request.
