How is battery life measured under this new EU regulation?

One interesting detail is that the battery endurance rating in the new labels is tested using the same software used by many tech reviewers: SmartViser. This French automation company works with labs and manufacturers to simulate real-world usage. So now, the battery performance you see on the label is based on consistent, lab-tested data, not just marketing claims.

Do note that only certain serial numbers are affected.

Does it? The quoted passage is also in reference to a less commonly used configuration, in which it is basically used as a communications coprocessor.

LibreOffice opens my old WordPerfect documents just fine. What didn’t last was the compact diskettes that some of them were lost to.

Normies don’t tend to perform OS installs from slipstreamed update media.

Do you know what the signal bar on a phone actually represents?

Thoughts and prayers. It will even lie about the technology in use (e.g. it may display “5G” while connected to a “4G LTE” cell if that cell supports 5G EN-DC, regardless of if the feature is actually in use).

My friend, most base stations got fiber backhaul before 5G even existed. We are well beyond that problem.

In fact, it is not uncommon in 2025 to have fiber fronthaul from the remote radio (at the mast) back to the “cloud” where the actual base station is virtualized and/or software-defined (at the data center).

The usable signal issue is a whole other complex can of electromagnetic worms and in contemporary times is a side effect of how 5G NR is sort of “bolted on” to 4G LTE. It is not dissimilar to the growing pains that mixed 3G/4G networks had.

Yay, more unsprung weight! 🙄

Meanwhile in South Korea…

Ultimately, it’s great that users won’t need to squint to read the fine print or cross-reference spec sheets once the labels gain popularity.

I can’t even read the labels on the cables in the article photos.

EDIT: I get it, you all have 20/10 vision and no astigmatism, thanks for your input.

At one point Fox canceled like 20 other shows, with Greg the Bunny being one of them, between the time Fox cancelled Family Guy, and the time they brought back Family guy.

I have no idea what you’re trying to say. It’s not a counter example. It is literally the example given in the article, which you quoted.

The awards are more heavily influenced by album sales than subjective judgements of musical quality.

Do you know who Jon Batiste is?

The album won on quality. The sales spiked after the win.

And without the context that the Ars article provides, that information means very little to the casual visitor. There is absolutely nothing on that website to provide any of that context. It certainly doesn’t say that by uploading your photo, you are agreeing to allow Google an irrevocable licence to use it to train AI.

The only thing there is an image that says “Take control” which just links to the author’s cloud storage company. This whole thing is thinly-veiled viral marketing.

Sure, but that still feels very “You agreed!”. The only place on that website that tells you “beforehand” is hidden in the terms of service. That’s literally no different.

The site (TheySeeYourPhotos) returns what Google Vision is able to decern from photos. You can test with any image you want or there are some sample images available.

…by submitting them to Google, who then keeps a copy of them and uses them for the exact same purpose which purportedly compelled the author to leave Google.

Let’s be realistic. How many devices support a mainline version of OpenWRT and have more than one 2.5 Gbe port?

This thing is primarily a wifi router and access point. The available Ethernet ports, which are limited to what the chipset supports, are going to be more than sufficient for the majority of users.

If your main concern is wired throughput to the Internet, you are not the target audience for OpenWrt. The literal point of the OpenWrt project was to be an open source firmware for the WRT54G wireless router. The project has of course grown since then, but that is still its primary intended use case.

You are much more likely to find what you need in pfSense/OPNsense/etc, and on more powerful hardware. I would be way more concerned with the fact that it only has 1 GB RAM.

But if you still want to take that stance, there is nothing stopping you from reconfiguring the 2.5 Gbe port as a VLAN trunk and hanging it off a managed switch. Put your uplink in one VLAN and your LAN in another. That is going to be more than sufficient to saturate the 1 Gbps fiber connection that most people have (or at least asymmetrically saturate the 2 Gbps connection that some people have).

Or if you don’t like that, just do the routing on the switch. If your primary concern is wired throughput, you’ll probably already be doing that anyway. Then just use this thing as an AP, in which case the one port is sufficient.
