Android 14’s storage disaster gets patched, but your data might be gone
  • Android's stock backup misses a lot of things, apps can opt-out and many do, it also doesn't backup files or documents or photos. Photos are "backed up" if you enable Google Photos cloud sync, but that's separate. It basically just backs up your phone calls/SMS, system settings and what apps you have installed (but not their data unless they tie into the backup APIs).

    Google is investigating Android 14’s multiple profile update bug
  • I used GitHub's search across the entire Graphene org, but couldn't find any references to the issue. Doesn't mean its not there, I just couldn't find it. If the technical details of the issue were public, it would help people know whether or not their data is recoverable if they are already stuck with a "pixel is starting..." phone that doesn't boot.

  • Google officially responds to Android 14 loss of data access and boot loop bug
  • Some rough estimates:

    Even if it only affects 0.1% of users, that still puts the number of affected users in the thousands to 10s of thousands range, with an estimated 10-15 million Pixel 6-8 phones out there. T-Mobile (and Google Fi) haven't even allowed Android 14 to go out as well. So between the 800 stars and 500 comments on the bug, and the other 564 votes and 260 comments on the community forum post, and given that only a fraction of people do that, many are going to contact Google Support privately, or take the phone to BestBuy or wherever, that somewhat lines up.

    I'd still think someone would've run into in the beta, particularly since beta users are even more tech savvy and likely to use multiple users. But perhaps not enough reports to get Google's attention.

    But this is something that Google's automated testing should've caught. You don't have to do anything other than use the feature, and switch between accounts several times. Not a hard bug to hit at all.

    Vintage Dog Photo

    Image by Dall-E 3

    Prompt by ChatGpt4:

    Photo-styled image in the style of Kodachrome film, capturing a blue merle sheltie dog in a relaxed pose, curled up amidst white soft pillows. The image radiates a warm, vintage charm, with the sheltie's fur texture and the plushness of the pillows rendered in intricate detail.

    Prompt to ChatGpt4:

    Okay, lets do a series on the sheltie dog, in relaxed poses, on a white sofa or pillows. As photorealistic portraits taken with kodachrome

    Brother printer questions
  • Brother laser printers are great. As long as you get one that supports Postscript (Brother calls this BR-Script), PCL5 or PCL6. You can see this under the "emulations" printing specs on a printer model page. PostScript and PCL both have fully open source implementations so you'll usually be able to just use built-in CUPS gutenprint or foomatic drivers. I also recommend ethernet (wired or wireless) and not usb.

    Do not get one that only says "GDI" emulations which is Windows based and can be really painful to deal with.

    A loadium of sodium: why are sodium-ion batteries exciting?
  • They have already started mass production of the cells at CATL, etc. I would guess building packs and larger products on that will take some development. But I see 18650 sodium ion cells on Alibaba, although I couldn't say if they are actually as advertised.

  • cosmosmagazine.com A loadium of sodium: why are sodium-ion batteries exciting?

    Cheaper, more environmentally sustainable, and safer to ship, sodium-ion batteries could one day replace lithium-ion in a range of places.

    reneweconomy.com.au Genex switches on its first big battery project on time and on budget

    Genex says its first big battery is now energised, and will be up and running in time for the summer peak.

    Genex switches on its first big battery project on time and on budget

    I think it is an underappreciated advantage of solar and storage that these projects are so often on-time and on-budget compared to a lot of other infrastructure projects we hear about.

  • To be fair, I think the idea would be to change the albedo of Earth so that more sunlight is reflected back into space. But it would need to reflect more light/heat than it produces in waste heat for the refrigeration, who wants to do the math?

    Electric Water Heaters Are Better at Storing Energy Than a Tesla Powerwall
  • They seem to just be looking at hot water production alone for typical home uses. By heating (or even overheating) that water when renewable supplies are abundant using smart controls for time of use plans, it offsets more energy production for far less money than batteries would cost.
