I try not to mention it often but I have a Discord for devs, engineers, and tech nerds. Come hang and share what you're working on if that's your thing.

@cizz0r@mysk_co The battery level is fuzzed and not accurate. Apple intentionally makes it less accurate precisely to thwart fingerprinting. You’re conflating things and blowing them out of the water.
This isn’t entirely true. Battery level is fuzzed and intentionally inaccurate via public APIs. In iOS 17, battery reporting went from a 1% granularity to 5%. It’s accurate enough to build apps on but not accurate enough to fingerprint with.
Did you know that all apps installed on your iPhone can see your battery percentage and whether your iPhone is recharging or unplugged? No permission is needed for that. Soon you'll be able to try our new privacy-focused app on your iPhone to learn more. 👀
A deck of cards can be shuffled about 80 unvigintillion different ways. That’s more than the atoms on our planet. It’s statistically unlikely that two decks have ever been in the same order.
I don’t know why this decision was made in particular but I imagine it has a ton to do with thermals just like most other manufacturers. A lot of heat dissipates upward and having the screen both on and the machine closed prevents a fair bit of that from moving freely. Hence why the only supported way around it is through closed clamshell mode.
I’ve been doing this thing when I get hung on a code problem. I put on Victory Lap Five from Fred Again and either solve the problem by the end of the song or walk away for a bit. It’s quite shocking how often I get unblocked.
Today we cut headcount by 87%. Business is stronger than ever. Let’s be direct.
I own this. Productivity’s evolving. My company leads or dies.
Not cost-cutting. Savings rocket to the survivors: $7.5M bands for 10000x AI impact.
Deepest gratitude to the exited. Generous packages + LinkedIn kudos from strength.
THE 10000X ORG
Fewer humans. 10000x output.
Old jobs = AI bottlenecks in hoodies.
Builders: Elite engineers command agent armies.
Everyone else = review spam. PMs merge into AI whisperers. No shipping code — that’s for agents.
Agent Managers: Self-automators turned AI zookeepers. They eat.
Front-Liners: Human soul for customers. Agents do the rest (flawlessly).
Rewards: Savings fund the keepers. Old bands die. 10000x or goodbye.
Future: Pricier humans + silicon slaves. We’re the revolution.
Best to the “next chapter” crew ❤️
I love the creativity behind this! I would be remiss if I didn’t mention that AirTags are a terrible idea for monitoring your car in any reasonable way. They rely on iPhones nearby to ping them and if someone steals your car they’re getting notified that the AirTag is with them. Plus you can scan the vehicle and find it pretty fast to rip out. You really need a dedicated tracker like LandAirSea with a cellular connection.
It doesn’t actually. It’s rate limiting to make repeat attempts harder. Sometimes you’ll see that delay grow the more times you get it wrong in a row using an exponential backoff.
