Daily News Stuff 27 March 2019
Hinamatsuri. I completely missed it when it aired last year, and it's really good. One of those shows that you watch in one go and then Google the name plus "season 2".
Apparently there's plenty of manga remaining for another season, but Blu-Ray sales have been disappointing.
Hinamatsuri Edition
Tech News
- Try our new twitter and bitchute tags, fresh caught every day.
- Yes, I'm still banned on Twitter. No response to my appeal.
- Huawei launched their P30 and P30 Pro phones. (AnandTech)
These are focused heavily on photography, with a 40MP main camera in both models, an ultrawide camera at 16MP and 20MP on the standard and pro models respectively, and an 8MP telephoto camera with 3x or 5x zoom.
The telephoto camera is the interesting one: It uses a prism to refract light through 90 degrees to give the lens elements enough room.
CPU is a Kirin 980 - Arm A76 - coupled with 6GB or 8GB of RAM. The base model has a headphone jack and 128GB of storage. The one real flaw is that it uses Huawei's proprietary nano-flash cards for expansion. Oh, and their user interface, but you can just install Nova Launcher to fix that.
- Asus says what, we got hacked, and a million of our laptops too? (Tom's Hardware)
Rare triple facepalm.
- Fire the whole goddamn lot of them. MEPs who just voted to destroy the internet say oops, we pushed the wrong button. (TechDirt)
- Google just made email radically more annoying and probably less secure. (Tech Crunch)
With any luck they'll kill it in six months.
- 42 is the new 33. (Quanta)
Now that a solution has been found for 33, 42 is the only number less than 100 that has not either been shown to be the sum of three cubes or proven not to be.
Numberphile did a video just over three years ago discussing the problem.
And now has a video where they talk to the discoverer of the answer for 33.
- UC Browser, which I have never heard of but apparently has 500 million users is dangerously insecure and should be shot on sight (Bleeping Computer)
- Everything you didn't want to know about Apples new content platform and couldn't be bothered to ask. (Six Colors)
- Discord employs crazy people to censor your speech. (One Angry Gamer)

Re: Zero is getting a second season though, as is Re: Slime, and of course Miss Kobayashi's Dragon Maid.

Re: AMP for email: "With AMP for Email, those messages become interactive. That means you’ll
be able to RSVP to an event right from the message, fill out a
questionnaire, browse through a store’s inventory or respond to a
comment — all without leaving your web-based email client."
Oh, so they're more or less catching up to where Microsoft was 25 or so years ago.

From a comment on your second AMP link: "People are already abandoning Google in droves over privacy issued and AMP email would be the last straw for me."
Yeah. I actually looked at Fastmail last night, briefly (not yet ready to pull the trigger, because my gmail account is 14 years old, and all my accounts elsewhere use it, but companies subjecting me to AMP could push me to actually switch.)
