Setting up phones is a nightmare
Have you bought and set up a new phone for someone else lately, especially someone less technologically savvy? It's a bit of a nightmare, with an endless list of confusing steps and dark patterns trying to trick you into signing up for all kinds of services. Joel Chrono (he took his username from the best game ever made) just went through this experience, with new Samsung

«Privatsphäre in Gefahr — Neue App warnt vor smarten Brillen in der Nähe:
Träger smarter Brillen filmen ihre Umgebung oftmals ohne Rücksicht auf die Privatsphäre anderer. Eine neue Smartphone-App soll davor schützen.»
Ich habe es mal installiert um es auszuprobieren. Leider nur über den Google Apps-Store oder GitHub Download installierbar und (noch) nicht über @fdroidorg.

Porting rePalm to Pixter devices
Some of you may be aware of rePalm, a project by Dmitry Grinberg to port the PalmOS to various devices it was never supposed to run on. We covered rePalm back in 2019 and again in 2023. His latest project involved porting PalmOS to a set of digital toys that were never intended to run PalmOS in any way.
Fisher-Price (owned by Mattel) produced some toys in the early 20

一张图片有感：飞飞鱼和PDF的斗智斗勇 
使用chrome，然后选择电脑视图即可。
编辑pdf可以使用wps，但是你可以下载wps高校政府定制版，或者使用https://tools.pdf24.org/zh/edit-pdf 或者他的离线版，ilovepdf等等。
既然你都去咸鱼买了wps会员，为什么不再花个1/7美元买个百度网盘会员把你的下载时长缩短100倍。
看到这我明白了，这是下载手机版wps？为什么不用bing，再不济用baidu搜索下，官网下载，都不至于在百度网盘下载一个半小时。
在简中互联网，能下载到国际版wps也蛮厉害了，你能有Google帐户和tz也蛮厉害了，但是谷歌登录不上和你使用什么邮箱注册没关系的，特别是你只是登陆wps而不是chatgpt、Claude。
然后是胡言乱语##¥@/～%a/#，看懂了的可以去解说费城枪击案了
现在的Google注册已经不是以前那么容易注册的了，对你的ip纯净度，浏览器语言cookies，地理位置都有着很高的要求，不然就是不给过，还可能收不到验证码。
pdf确实是固定格式，pdf出来就是为了便于分享而不是便于修改，那是markdown或者docx的事情
当然不知道这些操作很正常，谁也不是出生就知道一切的，人一生都在学习的路上。 
主要是这种混乱的描述和反差很难不让人难绷。
当然大学这种比赛对我来说就是大奋

If you’ve been holding on to a phone for a while, current phones are really disappointing
This must be a universal experience at this point for people who aren't swayed by the latest and greatest marketing hype around new phone models: there's just nothing out there that fits one's needs.
When I walked into a phone shop, I expected to witness w
