  • RedMagic's performance reign ends as new flagship gaming phone tops latest AnTuTu rankings

    Jump

  • The iQOO 15 Ultra has taken the first spot in the latest performance chart

    Clickbait thwarted!

  • Official announcement: Clicks Communicator will use the Mediatek Dimensity 8883 SoC, will be updated to Android 20

    Jump

  • The screen is smaller and it has some kind of custom launcher that presents all your message notifications up front to discourage you from digging deeper into the phone. In other words, it adds a couple of layers of friction out of the box. For some it might be enough, others will need more, many don't care about that particular aspect at all.

  • I guess that's part of the problem. It's easy to encroach on these things when there's effectively no pushback.

  • Still not available/supported in most of the world, unfortunately. Hopefully they get big enough to open up soon.

  • Pokémon Winds and Waves announced, releasing 2027

  • Pretty generic and forgettable starter designs. It's getting harder and harder, of course, but even the previous generation's were vastly superior. The only detail I really like is the panting dog tongue of the Fire starter, the other two have nothing going for them.

  • Google is winding down the Pixel Studio app

    Jump

  • Leak confirms GrapheneOS & Motorola partnership for non-Pixel hardware

    Jump

  • I thought the same initially, but Lenovo also owns the 'Think' line of products which have historically been targeted at business customers and known for security. Whilst neither of the ThinkPhones currently meet GrapheneOS requirements, Motorola has been improving in that regard (according to GrapheneOS). Motorola also recently released a phone with 7 years of security updates, which is unusual for them.

    Motorola, although it is now owned by Lenovo, is still headquartered in the US. North America continues to be one of its primary markets, and it's the next biggest company there by market share after Apple, Samsung and Google. Micay is based in Canada AFAIK. Altogether it makes a lot of sense to me that Motorola would be the company to reach out, as opposed to another Chinese brand headquartered on the other side of the world with zero market share or presence in North America, or one with any prior reputation for security.

  • Coles Australia has been collaborating with Palantir since 2024

    Jump

  • It's not an ABC article, it's from The Conversation. It's also pretty old, that's probably why data was a focus (there were several high profile data breaches around that time).

  • Why some Australians are spending $35,000 a year on food delivery apps

    Jump

  • In terms of Uber Eats specifically, another rising problem is the lack of competition. Menulog is dead and there are concerns about DoorDash's future too. Of course, the obvious answer is to not rely on these services at all but we all know many people will not do that. We are going to end up with another monopoly in the food delivery space and this will become an even bigger problem.

  • I used to know a guy through online gaming who was like this. He was from country/outer suburbs (not sure how you guys qualify that) Victoria, moved to Melbourne for uni and then a career. He was in his early-20s and was a typical young Australian male with very poor financial literacy. We used to joke about his Uber Eats spending (AFAIK it's no longer a problem for him), but for many people it could easily turn into a very serious addiction.

    It's not surprising to me that for people around his age, living in the city, this could become a big problem. You've just come into a lot of money (relative to your teenage life) with your new job, you're surrounded by ways in which you can spend that money at all hours of the day, the choices are right there on the device you carry with you and use for 5+ hours a day, and they appeal to and are designed to target very primal instincts that can be difficult to control. Particularly when your brain is overwhelmed by long work hours and constant stimulation and wants to default to making easy choices. If you've gone from your parents house to life as a single adult, you're suddenly in control of all your financial decisions and don't have to answer to a partner or family member when you do dumb shit like waste most of your money on overpriced food.

    The ease of access we now have to easy dopamine hits through shopping, food and even sex is very problematic when it's tied to an addictive-by-design device that we carry with us 24/7. For younger generations that have grown up online and seem to be struggling with face-to-face social interaction more than previous generations, always being able to default to the equivalent of a dummy for adults to fulfill these base desires is another layer of the problem. There's no friction to help reset your brain and think about the longer-term consequences of what you're doing. It's just constant, instant gratification via the phone.

  • Emergency warning text and siren to be sent to every phone in Australia [July 27 at 2pm AEST]

    Jump

  • Oh yes, I have actually seen this before now that I think about it. A German streamer received one of these alerts about a month ago because there was an explosion at a chemical plant in his city.

  • Emergency warning text and siren to be sent to every phone in Australia [July 27 at 2pm AEST]

  • Does the German one play a sound too? When I was in Korea I received alert messages but there was no associated "siren" like this.

  • Guardian Essential poll: more than half of Australians open to voting for One Nation despite Hanson’s Muslim comments

    Jump

  • The question doesn't take that into account so one would assume that in some seats there would be a viable independent that some voters (Greens, for example) would be even more open to than One Nation. An interesting point raised in the podcast was that perhaps some Greens voters see themselves as outsiders in the same way as One Nation voters do, and therefore view a party like One Nation as a more viable option than traditional centrist parties that haven't done shit for anyone other than those on the inside.

    There is always a question mark over this stuff until we get close to an actual election, though. Many people are unhappy right now and might just be trying to send a message to the major parties via polls like this. A sort of "do something or else" type response.

  • Guardian Essential poll: more than half of Australians open to voting for One Nation despite Hanson’s Muslim comments

    Jump

  • And here's the direct link to all the data corresponding to the question. 32% of Greens voters were also open to voting for One Nation.

  • Yes, it's another reminder of the very widespread underlying racism in this country. If you give Australians a reason to target minority groups under a false premise (housing prices, cost of living, etc), many will happily take you up on it.

  • Which phone is better?

    Jump

  • I don't think OP is talking about a Samsung here. Sounds more like a Chinese phone, based on the name and processor. Redmi Note 11 Pro, maybe?

  • MediaTek website appears to leak that the Clicks Communicator will use the Dimensity 8300 CPU

    Jump

  • People are already laying the groundwork for custom ROMs on the iKKO MindOne, and that phone has a more unusual MediaTek processor and a much smaller following. I can pretty much guarantee there will be similar (larger scale) interest in developing for the Communicator.
