Notable

It's been a week of foldable phones, MKBHD covering the Moto RAZR and the Samsung Galaxy Z Flip just a couple of days apart.

It's crazy to me that we're only just at the point of seeing foldable phones for real, years after OLEDs have been around, and that the materials used is so fragile. I had a Nokia flip phone which never encountered damage due to trapped dust. It even used pretty powerful magnets to keep closed and had a great flick to open action. Surely something that can be achieved in a far smaller mechanism these days, I mean look at how many magnets Apple put into the back of the iPad Pro to get their cases and keyboards to line up correctly.

Pretty good explainer for how cookies work on this week's topic of off-Facebook activity, which I highly encourage you to review.

It's crazy how a simple feature has been abused so much. I have no qualms from individual 'entities' from tracking habits at large for their own purposes of customisation and analytics. The latter is an important part of being able to judge success, but all of this needs to be as anonymous as possible which is where it's all just fallen apart.

I mean, even drawing tablets are tracking what you're up to.

2035 is a better target than 2040 but it really couldn't come soon enough. Car manufacturers have had over 100 years to clean up their act and yet full-combustion engines still make up the majority of sales. Hybrid technology should be the bare minimum in every car sold today.

Why is this not already a thing?

I need to watch this episode with my daughter. The video here reminded me of the Goodness Gracious Me skits where everything is Indian.

I have my own thoughts on what iPhones should be called but this is a pretty good take on it from someone how worked on the original iPhone.
