Growing up slowly

Great meeting the team from @PrintCityMMU at the inaugural #SMRRF2023 in Oxford. Hope to come up and see the centre at some point in the future. Looks like some fantastic facilities for anyone who likes to #designand3Dprint stuff.

I published a Thing on @thingiverse! https://t.co/VHvym1K6Hd #thingalert

Particle Life running on a LilyGo T-Display S3.
50 particles of each of four colours (red, green, yellow, blue) with random rules defining how particles of each colour attract or repel other colours. All the movement behaviour emerges spontaneously without being programmed.

This week I got to combine several of my interests into one successful project.
As anyone @Clinithink will tell you, I never made it as a programmer, but I’ve dabbled for 40 years and still try occasionally.
I wanted to run #ParticleLife on a little ESP32 T-Display S3 computer.

[Richard Gain @richgain]

But, despite the code having many versions in different languages, there was no Arduino code available.
So I asked #ChatGPT if it could help me write it myself. It took a couple of days on and off and we both made some silly mistakes but, together, we did it! And it’s brilliant!

@Mikeperezc And this:

That’s better, @apple!
Still 80% battery life in my iPhone 14 Pro left at the end of the day. Tweaking the Notifications and Location settings made a massive difference.
Clearly, just transferring all the old settings over from the iPhone 11 was not such a good idea.

[Richard Gain @richgain]

Now onto my 2nd iPhone 14 Pro having returned the first one after a week for overheating. This one doesn’t seem much better. ☹️ @Apple
Is this normal behaviour for battery level to drop to 50% after 2 hours of using WhatsApp and Facebook?

[Richard Gain @richgain]

@Mikeperezc No need! All fixed now.
See this:

Wow! Brilliant support from @Apple Genius Bar in Trafford Centre yesterday. My phone’s overheating issues appear to be solved!
The cause was probably the phone-to-phone migration from the iPhone 11.
The solution was Settings/General/Transfer or Reset/Reset/Reset All Settings

I now have to reset up Apple wallet, FaceID and Notifications and Location settings for all my apps.
But no more overheating and the battery life is amazing!

Just how hot is “hot”?
How about 42°C during a FaceTime call.
Really not comfortable!

[Richard Gain @richgain]

Clearly there is a problem and I’m not alone.

I know the charging lead works because as soon as I turned off Google Maps the phone charged up again.

[Richard Gain @richgain]

@googlemaps @Apple Upgraded from iPhone 11 to a 14 Pro last week. I often use Google Maps in my car as my satnav and never had problems before. I just did a 3 hour car journey and the battery drained flat after two hours even though it was supposedly on charge. Help!

[Richard Gain @richgain]

@swerytd @ColinMurray Actually thought I had petit mal until I rewatched it!
