  • iPhone Shutdown Bug

    October 19th, 2023

    “The iOS 17.1 update that is expected to be released to the public next week does not appear to address an issue that is causing some iPhone models to turn off sporadically at night, interrupting alarms, silencing notifications, and otherwise disrupting nighttime ‌iPhone‌ usage.”

  • Anki: more user friendly error display

    October 19th, 2023

    So this commit displays errors organized by each addon and auto-disables them on start-up. If you click the addon names it redirects you to their webpage on https://ankiweb.net/shared/addons.

    I find this change very good as previously you would receive 100 lines of error codes without knowing which addon is responsible.

    FreeBSD manual pages:

    The Arch Linux man page of dd has no samples of use: https://man.archlinux.org/man/dd.1

  • FreeBSD 14 will support up to 1024 cores

    October 18th, 2023

    “FreeBSD 14 on ARM64 and AMD64 now supports up to 1024 CPU cores, up from the current limit of 256 cores. With AMD EPYC Bergamo now allowing 128-cores / 256-threads per socket, that current FreeBSD limit is exceeded so now at least FreeBSD 14.0 will allow for playing with these high core count servers.”

  • Project Silica-a new way of storing data

    October 17th, 2023

    Microsoft has developed a storage technology primarily designed for cloud purposes.

    Project Silica uses laser pulses to encode data in glass, creating a durable, long-lasting storage medium. Data are encoded in so called voxels which are 3 dimensional data points.

    Microsoft claims that that the 7 TB storage per glass sheet maintains data integrity for up to 10,000 years.

    This promising idea is being researched and organized into a write lab, a read lab, a decode lab as well a library lab
