There are times it amazes me with how "capable" it seems but more often than not I'm not happy with the end result as well as the missed opportunity to learn something or reinforce existing knowledge. At the same time I feel that it is useful in some scenarios and I just need to learn when and how best to use it, like a new power tool that I haven't learned how to use yet.

Lately I've put in my agents file that I don't want it to touch any files. Instead of using it to write code or docs I'm using it to analyse code bases, give guidance, do research, give suggestions, etc. It's my assistant but I'm still in the driver's seat. The exception are cases when it's some kind of domain-specific language I don't touch often and really don't care to learn (Gradle is a prime example for me).

How are you using AI? How has it changed? How do you feel about it?

In this case the accusation was insignificant; it's for a stack exchange answer that could be deleted and my life wouldn't be negatively impacted at all. But now I can't help but wonder for the first time if the AI witch hunt is going to potentially have real consequences for some people. Has anyone experienced this in any meaningful way?

  adb shell cat /sys/class/power_supply/battery/serial_number

Would changes to external closed-source binary files change the kernel image itself? There are kernel modules in that commit but it looks to me like they all come directly from here: https://developers.google.com/android/drivers

Google does provide detailed instructions for downloading all sources for the kernel, and I didn't see any changes since 2023 to any source files: https://source.android.com/docs/setup/

Thanks for the extra places to look. I'll check them out.

I'm not hoping to argue, only to learn. This isn't my area of expertise.

I do have an idea about what it's checking to determine if a battery is affected, but I don't have enough data yet to know if it's just a coincidence.

But apparently sunfish-kernel only contains binaries.

Given there's an update to Image.lz4, that seems there's an update to the kernel. I also compared the binary to the previous version and found some new strings possibly related to battery charging profile.

Next I checked out the source using Google's documentation but the latest commit is here: https://android.googlesource.com/kernel/msm/+/refs/heads/and...

But maybe I'm looking in the wrong place.

Can I submit a GPL request to Google to get the kernel source?

I'm planning on replacing the battery in my 4a and making it last as long as I can. It's still a great phone.

Unihertz also just launched a 5" phone but I'm not sure how good it would be; I'm sure the camera won't be great: https://www.unihertz.com/products/jelly-max
