New comment by cunidev in "Introduction to Nintendo DS Programming"

cunidev — Thu, 09 Apr 2026 16:15:55 +0000

The Nintendo DS is the platform that taught me programming around 2010, via devkitPro, and it really let me understand a lot about how computers work. It was a rough ecosystem back in the day, but a very exciting one. We had no internet connection at home but I had the docs downloaded and it was surprisingly satisfying to compile on.

New comment by cunidev in "iPhone 16 cameras vs. traditional digital cameras"

I recently switched to an imported phone with a bulky 1" sensor (Vivo X100 Ultra) and although far from my Sony mirrorless, the quality of shots and color science went up dramatically compared to my older Pixel 9 Pro (way overprocessed) and iPhone 13 (way oversaturated and pretty low-res). This is not to say there's no AI or strong computational component to it, but larger and more expensive sensors, which still have not found their way in mainstream phones, do bring massive advantage if they are not killed by excessive AI processing (as, sadly, I saw multiple times when test-driving Samsung Ultra phones)

Ironically enough, the Vivo ("Zeiss") color science also looks more accurate than most phones I've owned, and is pretty flexible at editing time.

This might be asking too much, but will there be any way to run the newer pebbleOS on the first-gen Pebbles? I love my Steel, and am currently still using it

New comment by cunidev in "Telegram Stars: Pay for Digital Goods and More"

cunidev — Thu, 06 Jun 2024 22:29:40 +0000

Has Telegram made any active effort on the encryption/privacy side in the last years?

With no E2EE except in unpractical, single-device "secret chats", it falls behind the majority of chat platforms (aside from Meta-owned ones, at least), and feels like a Western WeChat more than a place I would like my data to be owned by. Which is a shame because its UX is consistently great.

New comment by cunidev in "Apple partly halts Beeper's iMessage app again, suggesting a long fight ahead"

cunidev — Fri, 15 Dec 2023 12:12:05 +0000

It seems like the effort Apple is putting in stopping this is an indicator of how many people buy iPhones just for being in their iMessage circles. Which is only possible as long as Apple keeps snubbing RCS and making messaging painful to non-iPhone users.

If, say, a random cheap Motorola with Beeper could keep them in the same groups as before, Apple would probably lose a (small) chunks of its clients.

New comment by cunidev in "Apple to Limit iPhone 15 USB-C Cables to USB 2.0 Speeds: Report"

cunidev — Sun, 27 Aug 2023 12:33:24 +0000

Is this a deliberate limitation, or is it just that the base iPhone 15 chip does not include an USB 3.0 controller?

New comment by cunidev in "“Absurd”: Google, Amazon rebuked over unsupported Chromebooks still for sale"

cunidev — Fri, 04 Aug 2023 22:30:44 +0000

This is a disastrous situation in terms of e-waste, if we consider how long laptops can survive when using a reasonable software stack.

With most Linux setups, web browsing on extremely JS-heavy websites is the only area where you might feel considerable differences between a new laptop and one from 7-10 years ago.

I have used Metallum for years, and love how intuitive and user-friendly it feels. The design is oddly cozy, has no ads (I guess?), and gives you the feeling of being in an infinitely deep library of dark magic and forgotten knowledge
