MakeUseOf: 10 Things Your Smartphone Camera Can Do—Completely Unrelated to Photography. “Your smartphone camera is good for far more than snapping yet another overly flattering shot of your lunch. It’s a surprisingly powerful tool that can make your day-to-day life easier, more efficient, and occasionally even safer.”

Daring Fireball: Cassette 1.0. “Cassette is not an app that makes your modern videos look like they were shot on an old camcorder. (Rarevision VHS is a fun app for that, if that’s what you’re looking for.) Cassette’s tape-playing pastiche is more about putting you in the right mindset. Instead of watching one video from your Photos library, or two or three, it mimics popping in a tape […]

Don't you find it very convenient to ignore the increasing grasp of market society in the form of extreme competition, growing Indebtedness and lack of career prospects? Arguing that social media and streaming platforms are the culprits is pure lazy thinking. Period.

"All this makes it disconcerting that levels of conscientiousness in the population appear to be in decline. Extending a pioneering 2022 US study which identified early signs of a drop during the pandemic, I found a sustained erosion of conscientiousness, with the fall especially pronounced among young adults.

Digging deeper into the data, which comes from the Understanding America Study, we can see that people in their twenties and thirties in particular report feeling increasingly easily distracted and careless, less tenacious and less likely to make and deliver on commitments.

While a full explanation of these shifts requires thorough investigation, and there will be many factors at work, smartphones and streaming services seem likely culprits. The advent of ubiquitous and hyper-engaging digital media has led to an explosion in distraction, as well as making it easier than ever to either not make plans in the first place or to abandon them.
The sheer convenience of the online world makes real-life commitments feel messy and effortful. And the rise of time spent online and the attendant decline in face-to-face interactions enable behaviours such as “ghosting”."

Ach, da könnte ich ein Buch...

#Cybersicherheit fängt bei Updates für ältere Geräte bzw. deren Software an. Allein bei #Smartphones und #SmartTV ist da eine riesige Baustelle.
Schau ich dann noch in Richtung #iot - ob Kaffeevollautomat, Smarthome oder Kinderspielzeug - dann hätte das @bsi weitaus mehr Projekte, als per anno zu stemmen sind.

Und dabei muss ich noch nicht mal über #Security bei #kmu nachdenken.
Und dann gibt es ja auch noch die staatlichen #Leuchtturmprojekte.

#Teachers urge #parents not to buy #children #smartphones
Many #schools have already banned smartphones on site but one part of the UK thinks it will be the first to have a countywide policy advising parents against giving children smartphones at home.
Using mobiles is already banned in schools in Monmouthshire, south Wales, but due to a rise in #cyberbullying reports and fears #phone use at home is affecting schoolwork, schools are going a step further.

I think the same about my 'phone.

Unfortunately, there is no latest o/s, batteries for it are quite rare, and are already decaying on the shelves as much or more as they would in a 'phone, and my country is turning off 3G.

New leak suggests iPhone 17 Air may ship with just ~2,900 mAh — an exceptionally small battery even by iPhone standards. 📱⚠️

Apple prioritizes ultra-thin design over battery capacity, replacing the low-selling Plus model. 🔋
Single rear camera also expected. 📸

Steel-encased battery & easier replacement adhesives coming to the full iPhone 17 lineup. 🛠️
