Ecodesign requirements will apply to smartphones, feature phones, cordless phones and slate tablets placed on the EU market from 20 June 2025 onwards.

Energy Labelling requirements will apply from the same date for smartphones and slate tablets.

These rules do not apply to tablet computers, to products with flexible main display (roll-up), and to smartphones for high security communication.

Smartphones and feature phones use a cellular telecommunications or satellite based network.

Feature phones are the first generation mobile phones, not used for internet services, and without the possibility to install third-party Apps.

Why does this license notice have a physical address, and not a URL?

Considering the storage constraints back then, it wouldn’t be surprising if developers only included the license notice, and not the entire license.

The GPLv3, published in 2007, does contain a URL in the license notice since Internet usage was more widespread at the time.

Ebay seller sent me some stampsWith the self addressed envelope ready, I wrote the request and addressed it to the GPLv2 address.

Should the fact that the license notice contained an address have been enough metadata or a clue, that I was actually requesting the GPL v2 license?

My obsession with e-ink displays continuesSome time ago, my friend George linked me to TRMNL, a new battery-powered e-ink display with an associated service that generates the images that the display will actually show.

For example, along with the device, they sell a $20 “developer edition” license which “unlocks their API”.

The only problem is that the firmware is pretty custom for their own board, and didn’t run on the generic Waveshare ESP32 driver I had.

All you need to do is buy the BYOD license, and claim the device by entering the ESP32 driver’s MAC address.

I 3D-printed a holder for the Waveshare display, but I saw a really nice project that uses the same display on a wooden base th…

I think a key element to the increased ease is that people have something to look at - the path ahead, the road, the gameboard.

Without something to look at, people have to look at the each other.

However, with something to look at, there’s less overanalyzing.

Conversations can have pauses more naturally because you’re contemplating the thing in focus, instead of staring in expectation.

In life and at work: if you’re looking for a shortcut to relaxed conversation, give people something to look at.

Privacy isn’t about opting out of technology—it’s about choosing how you engage with it.

Myth #1: “I gave data to one company, so my privacy is already gone”.

Privacy isn’t all or nothing.

Myth #2: “If I give a company data, they can do whatever they want with it”.

Privacy isn’t about hiding—it’s about control.

Considering the average ‘career’ with each employer in the tech industry is a touch under three years, the idea of spending 30 years working for the same employer is mind boggling.

So how do I reconcile my apathy towards every employer claiming to be the best, and my ability to do a good job?

Transparency & HonestyMy criteria for vetting an employer worth working with is very straightforward.

Fortunately, due to my line of work, asking for specifics around salaries is par for the course and not something an employer can easily lie about.

A quality employer will be honest and highlight what steps they took to address those issues.

How the Vim Language and Motions WorkVim has a terrific language or grammar behind its shortcuts.

These are often called the Vim language or Vim motions for moving around.

Copying (or yanking) in Vim with y , deleting with d , pasting with p , changing with c , and so on.

Instead, the normal mode you are in lets you do the commands explained in the above Vim language and motions.

In the course of the past decade, though, social media has come to resemble something more like regular media.

Social media has become less social.

Facebook’s founder, Mark Zuckerberg, admitted as much during more than ten hours of testimony, over three days last week, in the opening phase of the Federal Trade Commission’s antitrust trial against Facebook’s parent company, Meta.

The company, Zuckerberg said, has lately been involved in “the general idea of entertainment and learning about the world and discovering what’s going on.” This under-recognized shift away from interpersonal communication has been measured by the company itself.

The path that brought Wynn-Williams's into the company of these careless people is a weird – and rather charming – one.

They could enshittify – that is, shift value from the company's users and customers to itself.

But if they can't make those things work, then the company's growth will have ended, and it will instantaneously become grossly overvalued.

Meanwhile, Zuck is relentlessly pursuing Facebook's largest conceivable growth market: China.

According to Wynn-Williams, Facebook actually built an extensive censorship and surveillance system for the Chinese state – spies, cops and military – to use against Chinese Facebook users, and FB users globally.

Mistakes happenOn release Meta published a chart of various model performances vs prices, with Llama on top.

They probably ran out of the vertical space and Gemini 2.5 just didn’t fit, being about 20 points above Llama.

This comes from the fact that Llama 4, unlike the previous versions, is a Mixture of Experts (MoE) model.

Another early benchmark indeed suggests that Llama 4 is remarkably bad at processing long contexts.

Following yesterday’s release of Llama 4, many users on X and Reddit have already reported extremely poor real-world test results.

Daily driving a Linux phone, but why?

After all, an Android phone will still be needed and remain charged, even though I won’t need to carry it around.

The PinePhone Pro also has a few advantages over my FairPhone, to be honest.

Clinical trial finds novel nutritional formula effectively treats gut microbial overgrowthCredit: CC0 Public DomainCedars-Sinai researchers have developed a novel nutritional formula, mBiota Elemental, a palatable elemental diet (PED) that reduces the abundance of key gut microbiome taxa and improves symptoms in patients with small intestinal bacterial overgrowth (SIBO) and intestinal methanogen overgrowth (IMO).

Intestinal microbial overgrowth syndromes, including SIBO and IMO, involve abnormally high levels of coliform bacteria or methanogenic archaea in the gastrointestinal tract.

We have solved a traveling salesman problem (TSP) to walk to 81,998 bars in South Korea.

The computations were carried out between December 2024 and March 2025 at Roskilde University and at the University of Waterloo.

Statements such as this assume the only way to solve the TSP is to check each possible tour, one-by-one.

Linear programming eventually points us to the best decision for each road, and thus the shortest possible route."

We thank Dr. Sang-il Oum, Chief Investigator of the Discrete Mathematics Group at the Institute for Basic Science (IBS) for obtaining the locations of the bars in Korea.

TacOSMy from-scratch OS with it's own kernel written in C and assemblyTacOS is a UNIX-like kernel which is able to run DOOM, among various other smaller userspace programs.

It has things like a VFS, scheduler, TempFS, devices, context switching, virtual memory management, physical page frame allocation, and a port of Doom.

It runs both on real hardware (tested on my laptop) and in the Qemu emulator.

Please note that TacOS is a hobby toy OS and is not complete enough for real usage.

QuickstartTo build and run TacOS, simply run in your shell:git clone https://github.com/UnmappedStack/TacOS cd TacOS makeYou'll need to have Qemu, NASM, and Clang installed.

Multi-platform high-performance compute language extension for Rust.

With CubeCL, you can program your GPU using Rust, taking advantage of zero-cost abstractions to develop maintainable, flexible, and efficient compute kernels.

pub fn launch < R : Runtime > ( device : & R :: Device ) { let client = R :: client ( device ) ; let input = & [ - 1. , 0. , 1. , 5. ]

; let vectorization = 4 ; let output_handle = client .

To fix this, we created a Just-in-Time compiler with three core features: automatic vectorization, comptime, and autotune!

Google is a prime example because millions use its products, often treating them as standards.

Developers frequently aim to make things “like Google” because it feels familiar and, seemingly, the right way to do things.

In the past, this was an implicit influence, but now it’s direct: Google became the platform for web applications (Chrome) and mobile applications (Android).

It’s tricky to praise Apple while criticizing Google because where Google has clumsy interfaces, Apple has bugs and arbitrary restrictions.

Manufacturers have no incentive to improve this aspect—they just do it “like the Google of their industry.”And the "Google" of any industry inevitably gets worse over time.

Echo: Open Hardware Music PlayerEcho is an open hardware platform for music players.

The goal of the project is to produce a high quality music player, based on and designed with free software.

It's primarily designed to run Rockbox, a free music player firmware with support for many codecs, and a wide array of features.

The current version of the Echo player is called the Echo R1.

Echo R1Size: 60x100x15mm (approx)Weight: TBDThe R1 has a 4-way D-pad and 6 multi-function buttons on the faceplate, which can be used to quickly navigate your music library and control playback.

YAGRI: You are gonna read itApril, 2025YAGNI, or, You aren't gonna need it, is a standard piece of advice that warns against over engineering and building too many features too early.

However, there's an exception that I call YAGRI, or, "You are gonna read it".

It means that you shouldn't just store the minimum data required to satisfy the current product spec.

You should also store data that you'll highly likely use (read), such as timestamps and contextual metadata.

The easy way is to just delete the row from the database, and maybe that's all that the current UI design call for.

Avoid continue“I have never seen a piece of code that was not improved by refactoring it to remove the continue statement.” —Douglas Crockford, JavaScript: The Good Parts (page 111)The continue statement is terrible.

The first uses return :for ( Node node : nodeList ) { potentiallyProcessNode ( node ); } void potentiallyProcessNode ( Node node ) { if ( node .

log ( "considered node" , node ); }Now someone adds this guard:for ( Node node : nodeList )…

Exploiting Undefined Behavior in C/C++ Programs for Optimization: A Study on the Performance ImpactLucian Popescu and Nuno P. LopesAbstract:The C and C++ languages define hundreds of cases as having undefined behavior (UB).

In this paper, we present the first comprehensive study that examines the performance impact of exploiting UB in C and C++ applications across multiple CPU architectures.

Moreover, when performance regresses, it can often be recovered through small improvements to optimization algorithms or by using link-time optimizations.

TikZJaxTikZJax converts script tags (containing TikZ code) into SVGs.

For example, this code \begin{tikzcd} A \arrow[r, "\phi"] \arrow[d, red] & B \arrow[d, "\psi" red] \\ C \arrow[r, red, "\eta" blue] & |[blue, rotate=-15]| D \end{tikzcd} will be rendered asHow does this work?

Using web2js, the Pascal source of tex is compiled to WebAssembly; the latex format is loaded (without all the hyphenation data), and\documentclass[margin=0pt]{standalone} \def\pgfsysdriver{pgfsys-ximera.def} \usepackage{tikz}is executed.

Then core is dumped; the resulting core is compressed, and by reloading the dumped core in the browser, it is possible to very quickly get to a point where TikZ can be executed.

In the fall of 2019, I came to a decision: it was time to leave modern macOS behind.

A decade prior, switching to OS X had been a revelatory experience, as though the software was working in perfect sync with my mind.

Windows was still fine, and Linux was still Linux.

A normal person would have just picked one, but I was apparently not a normal person.

I cared far too much about having the perfect computer, and I couldn't get that wonderful memory out of my head...

This means that by installing MinC, you run OpenBSD on your Windows machine at native speed.

In other cases, MinC installs well, but the antivirus does not let you run its programs.

For publishing, I use Hugo with the Bear Blog theme (fast, minimal), and deploy via GitHub and Cloudflare Pages.

See the Bear Blog theme documentation for configuration options.

Hugo has a specific folder structure, and you want to write your posts in the content folder.

Once it’s all set up, this workflow fades into the background - I just write, commit, and publish.

At present, there are four LTSC versions of Windows 10.

There's also one of Windows 11, but assuming that you don't want that, then the latest is Windows 10 LTSC 2021, which is a long-term support version of Windows 10 21H2, released in November 2021.

The 2021 LTSC is available in the plain vanilla version, Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2021, with end of mainstream support scheduled January 12, 2027, and Windows 10 IoT Enterprise LTSC 2021, with an extended end date of January 13, 2032.

The NLRB whistleblower said the unusual large data outflows coincided with multiple blocked login attempts from an Internet address in Russia that tried to use valid credentials for a newly-created DOGE user account.

Berulis said the new DOGE accounts had unrestricted permission to read, copy, and alter information contained in NLRB databases.

The DOGE staffers did not speak with Berulis or anyone else in NLRB’s IT staff, but instead met with the agency leadership.

Berulis said the container caught his attention because he polled his colleagues and found none of them had ever used containers within the NLRB network.

The message informed NLRB employees that two DOGE representatives would be …

Evertop: an ultra lower power, ultra long battery solar PCOverviewEvertop is a portable PC that emulates an IBM XT with an 80186 processor and 1MB RAM.

Combine that with its built in solar panel, and you should be able to use it indefinitely off grid without ever having to worry about battery life.

That should afford ample opportunity to find some sunny weather and recharge the batteries long before they start getting low.

The solar panel is rated at 6V and 6W, so theoretically it should be able to produce 1 amp with full sunlight.

Clark and his team measured microplastics and nanoplastics in the dangerous, fatty plaque that can build up in arteries, block blood flow, and cause strokes or heart attacks. Compared to the walls of healthy plaque-free arteries, plaqu…

Google revealed in court that its Gemini AI chatbot reached 350 million monthly active users worldwide as of March 2025 -- up from 9 million daily users in October 2024. TechCrunch reports: Usage of Google's AI offerings has exploded in the last year. Gemini had just 9 million daily active users in October 2024, but last month, the company reportedly logged 35 million daily active users, according to its data. Gemini still lags behind the industry's most popular AI tools, however.

This means the company cannot alter the deal further, like it almost did in early 2023, leading to considerable pushback and, eventually, a retreat. It was a long quest, but the lawful good party has earned some long-term rewards, including a new, similarly licensed reference book.

The FTC’s case against Facebook doesn’t make sense because it conflates three distinct Facebook eras, and today’s era is very much defined by competition.

ChatGPT's memory feature is pretty basic, but it's the sort of product feature that can build a moat, particularly if it's extended to other use cases.

Hey all,

I made a small webapp to avoid having to write new curl commands manually to test an API. Not all options that curl supports are present (there's a lot!), but i included those I find myself using most frequently. Please let me know if I missed something!

I am the founder of 1Core Solution (“1Core”), based in Cupertino, CA, the heart of Silicon Valley.

Back in early 2000, childcare software was all desktop based with siloed back office functions and limited consumer facing interfaces.

I noticed a gap in the market and saw the potential for cloud-based software that could fundamentally change how software could be developed, delivered and supported in the childcare industry.

We built the first version of our solution by working with a few childcare providers in Silicon Valley.

You can learn more about my background and 1Core Solution:1Core sponsors a Youtube channel called The ChildCare Channel, a safe space designed to Inform, Inspire, and I…

This is what I am building today, and is what will eventually be the number 1 personal brand consultancy worldwide and have a team of 500 consultants.

The term personal brand was coined by a man named Tom Peters in 1997 in his article “The Brand Called You” which was published in FastCompany.

Within 3 months, the business appeared as if it was around for years and was already a trusted, vetted, personal brand consultancy.

I initially went on a podcast tour and was doing interviews that felt like every single day talking about MCG, writing more articles on industry subject matter, for example why you would hire a personal brand consultant, why you should build your personal brand, and how ou…

My name is Tony Wang, and I’m the general manager of The Cat Cafe in downtown San Diego.

We are the first cat cafe to open in Southern California and we are the fourth oldest continuously operating cat cafe in the United States.

We first learned about cat cafes when we saw an article about Le Cafe de Chats in Paris.

We are The Cat Cafe, as opposed to other cat cafes that have cute names.

But if you work hard enough at it, and you succeed, it will feel great.

We are a bit different in that we focus on German conversation/speaking classes - we don’t do traditional grammar classes.

We don't tell anyone this but what we really sell isn’t German classes, it is confidence!

To get around this and practice the German I was putting so much effort into learning, I thought I would start an online group for German learners.

But the issue was my German is intermediate - so half the people had German worse than mine and have better.

A poor decision of mine was not grandfathering in everyone who first joined (about the first 80 people) as free customers for life.

We are a Media and Consulting agency focused on the U.S. Latino demographic and are working towards building a marketplace for Latino-owned businesses.

We currently run a weekly newsletter and social media focused on elevating positive stories around the business, culture, and social impact of U.S. Latinos.

The newsletter started and is still currently free to readers.

To continue growing our audience and agency clients, I will double down on consistently posting across social media platforms.

Over the next 12 months, as I’m increasing agency and newsletter revenue, I’ll be focused on slowly building up the first iteration of the Latino-owned marketplace.

Because owning a self-storage facility didn’t seem like a real estate investment.

It sounded more like I would be running a small business.

The self-storage industry is interesting, because it benefits greatly from a lot of modern business practices.

We knew our focus coming out of the gates was to build a self-storage business with a heavy focus on technology and process optimization.

Our first Iron Storage facilityThe first storage facility we bought and revamped was about an hour from where I lived in Houston, TX.

I am Stefano Lodola, founder of Think in Italian, a language learning platform designed to help individuals master Italian through an immersive approach.

My research confirmed that there was a gap in the market for a more comprehensive and engaging approach to learning Italian.

However, many language app users have expectations that work against them (“where are the quizzes?

At its peak, my site had the largest amount of organic traffic among those focusing on teaching the Italian language with 130k visits/m.

Instead of those spammy “best xyz” listicles that any content writer can make up, I published hundreds of grammar notes to attract people who are serious about learning Italian.

Our current hero product is the Vonu Lounger, a multi-use lounger that helps with tummy time, reflux relief, burping, and gas relief, and encourages face-to-face time with your little one.

As of right now, we’re less than a year in, and over 10,000 babies and parents have found relief with the Vonu Lounger.

We ended up with the first Vonu Lounger which we called a “Burplee” at the time.

We use our social proof and UGC to build a community around the brand and the Vonu Lounger.

Davante, our co-founder, taught himself how to buy media a few months into building Vonu and has done an incredible job creating a paid media team around him.

What we had in mind was a simple, clutter-free email hub, where people could manage all their inboxes and reduce some of that email anxiety we all experience.

To this day, I believe it shows in the way Mailbird is built, its features, and the overall user experience.

Our customer base consists of two main groups:The heavy email users.

Part of the Mailbird team, in BaliWe launched Mailbird with minimal resources.

Mailbird - Last but not least, of course, we use Mailbird for our email management needs.

My son, Asher, and my wife, Paige, and I started our woodworking business four years ago: Frailey Woodworks.

Each of these skill sets are now focused on our high-end furniture making business where we specialize in full-scope design and build.

Soon, we ventured into other custom mid-century furniture, and our business took off.

Building our first hand-powered sit/stand desk took several iterations before we had a working prototype.

These customers took a chance on our company and we are very grateful for their trust.

Aithor helps with research, essay planning, sourcing trustworthy references, and adhering to specific types of writing.

We are broadening our focus to include content creators such as marketers and managers, while still supporting our existing student base.

It wasn’t until about four months after the product launch that we realized we were in the right place at the right time with the right team.

We quickly went to market, attracted new clients, and received valuable feedback, which led us to refine the MVP.

Hey, my name is Kyle Bigley and I am the Founder of TxtCart, AKA the AI-Powered SMS Marketing company for Shopify stores.

We’re a unique SMS Marketing company pioneering conversational commerce with AI agents generating sales and resolving customers questions via text messages.

Now, we’re over $1M ARR while still bootstrapped and are setting our sights on $3M ARR by 2026 (whilst still bootstrapped).

So I started TxtCart right before graduating, and took a Project Management job out of college.

Holding out on external investment from either Angels, VCs or crowdfunding makes building a SaaS in an ultra competitive environment like SMS Marketing incredibly difficult.

My company specializes in designing and manufacturing modern, stylish flatpack furniture and other designery items.

This allows me to focus on what I'm good at – the creative process – and leave the manufacturing to experts.

The combination of life on the road and designing things inherently designed to travel or get deconstructed and reconstructed resonated with me.

I also use Notion for ideation and notes, Shapr3d for CAD design and drawings, Illustrator for logos, Pacdora for packaging design.

Natural curiosity is an essential tool for entrepreneurs: asking questions, seeking to understand how things work, and being eager to learn and inquire.

I was based out of Singapore and was working with an edtech founder and looking for ideas in the AI + edtech space.

Explored several ideas like vision AI based analytics for live tutoring classes, adaptive learning and AI generated quizzes.

A year later in 2022, I put together all my learnings in AI quiz generation into an Udemy course.

So I built the first version that just takes text input on a left textbox, calls an API behind the scenes and shows the output text (quizzes) on the right textbox.

There are so many things like influencer marketing, email marketing, paid ads, SEO, newsletter marketing etc.

Software development, nutrition, business strategy, economics, AI - I've obsessed over them all.

Free product feedback can be deceiving - they might not value it the same if they were paying.

Some crucial parts weren't ready (like, you know, showing people their AI generated headshots), but who needs a complete product, right?

As you can see from the screenshot below, we were ranking for an important keyword, ‘Ai headshot generator’, in April.

Install as many product feedback loops to drive insights about your target audience.

Hey Indie Hackers 👋I’m a marketer/developer and I’ve been managing a number of news sites on Webflow and WordPress for a while now.

A while back, I started noticing something odd...Strong traffic, weak engagementTime on page and conversion rates weren’t what they used to be.

Add summaries to the top of each blog postAt first, I did it manually.

And the summaries are natural enough that I’m now using them on client sites too.

If this would be useful for your blog, let me know and I’ll drop a link in the comments.

Target some keywords that don't trigger AI Overviews.

Longer, more specific queries often have less competition and are less likely to be summarized by AI Overviews.

Create "deep content" that addresses complex, nuanced topics that require detailed explanations.

Opt out of AI Overviews for certain content.

Use this sparingly though; if competitors target the same topics without this tag, AI Overviews will still get created.

But I rarely hear anyone talk about founder boreout, i.e.

I’m not claiming boreout is a bigger problem than burnout overall.

But there's another benefit that's simpler and a little more human: you can do less of what you hate.

I hope it goes without saying that I'm not suggesting founders should turn all of their tasks into fun little games.

The point is: for tasks that are particularly unpleasant and particularly recurring, there are tools that you can reach for.

I want to start a fintech platform that helps students finance their education with flexible repayment options.

I'm very certain that we'll get somewhere.

The only requirement is that you really really like making money and don’t believe in half measures.

I would love to get to know you more.

Now my SaaS has 1K Monthly Active Users (~10K total).

The First Startup Idea (That Didn't Work Out)My first real project was called SalonTopia.

The idea was to build a website builder specifically for Japanese salons - many of which didn't have a decent online presence.

Today, it's passed 10,000 users - with about 1,000 monthly active and 60 of them as paying customers.

I'm planning to share more of what I'm building on Twitter (X), and hopefully start making more videos for developers again (including some about EdgeStore).

I’m building something real in Orlando, a system that helps local businesses grow without bloated tools, fluff, or agency nonsense.

What I need now is a partner who can pick up the phone and talk to business owners like a human.

Not looking for a sales bro.

I need someone who:Knows how to cold call without being annoyingCan read peopleIs hungry to build something real, not just chase commissionThere’s revenue to be made and equity on the table if we click.

DM me if that’s you — or tag someone who lives for this kind of work.
