Reboot Loop
Man kennt sie: die Screens, die in der S-Bahn die nächsten Haltestellen und das Ziel des Zuges anzeigen. In jedem Wagen existieren sie mehrmals: oben vorne und hinten, sowie unten, bei den Eingängen.
Dass es sich nicht einfach um Screens handelt, die von einem Computer gesteuert werden, habe ich bereits mal herausgefunden. Stattdessen sind sie jeweils mit einem Linux-Computer verbunden, der offenbar nichts anderes tut, als einige Scripts ablaufen zu lassen und schliesslich die richtigen Webinhalte darzustellen.
Woher ich das alles weiss? In meinem Wagen ist gestern zum zweiten Mal innert zwei Tagen – beziehungsweise halt immer noch seit vorgestern – einer der Screens in einem Loop gefangen. Er erkannte die „normale“ Startpartition nicht, startete stattdessen über eine zweite Partition, eine „Recovery Partition“. Dort liefen verschiedene Scripts ab. Es schien danach fast so, als gelänge nun der Start. Das Ganze begann nach etwa dreissig Sekunden jedoch jeweils von vorn.
Da war dann wohl nichts mehr zu machen …
In this painting, I wanted to explore two themes. On one hand, I aimed to juxtapose three types of "framed images" - in the background, there's a window revealing an overexposed image, next to it, an actual painting on canvas in darkness, and in the foreground, two glowing screens. Through this composition, I wanted to highlight the distinct characteristics of these three image types (a meta-painting commentary).
The second theme I wanted to address is the presence of technology in everyday life. In my paintings, I have explored the visual representation of life with computers and in the virtual world. I concluded that the best way to illustrate this was by showing technology's impact on our surroundings and bodies. The painting depicts my brother's computer setup from a few years ago. I remember it with nostalgia. Back then, my brother used two refurbished monitors and a computer that he later gave me when he upgraded to a better one. On the desk, there’s a pair of headphones - the same model we kept buying for years out of habit until they stopped making them. All of those headphones met the same fate - ending up with a broken plug that we couldn't fix because, after replacing it, only one side would work. My brother cut off all those cables and kept them "for later." "Later" came a few years ago when I started exploring technology-related themes in my art. I began attending events with a few of my favorite (headphones) cables tied around my waist as a belt.

oh wow this is fun, #Screens for #iPadOS (i also use it on #macOS) has that Screens Connect feature but they also added a #tailscale integration so you get a populated list of your assets in a tailnet. everything in here will be commandeered by your private encrypted backplane.
if you're new to my #householdIT, i use tailscale to bridge two house nets. when i'm out here in PHL, i can still access the filers/media and household #AI back in iowa city. sweet!
also to facilitate cute #automations.
Is there some correlation between dark mode on screens and not being able to see text clearly? I have astigmatism and a few years back, dark mode was a blessing on every screen, big or small. However, now on my phone and small screens text in dark mode feels more difficult to read. Is it a contrast thing? Are my eyes just fucked? Also it seems there are about 99 different implementations of dark mode? Not just for dark black OLED screens. #darkmode #screens #eyes
#Screens "train us in convenience, which is training in predictability, in the facade of certainty. And when that facade inevitably breaks, we often find ourselves at sea.
"In the brilliant and ever-relevant Seeing Like a State, James C. Scott outlines the many ways states fail; principle among them is an obsession with putting things in order, with simplification and efficiency. More often than not, that efficiency translates into brittleness and weakness, into systems so fragile they break the moment something unanticipated arises."

My response to the Guardian's latest 'Phones are destroying the children!!' article. As ever, it's... problematic
@alexadeswift @georgetakei there's are reasons #screens started getting used in "#DarkMode" and why only on #paper and #transflective settings "#BrightMode" makes sense.
IOW there are reasons we illuminate letters and not the entire house wall at night...

"Tandem OLED screens, like the one on the M4 iPad Pro, have two layers of red, green, and blue (RGB) organic light-emitting layers stacked atop one another and are driven in tandem. [...] The primary benefits are less burn-in risk, less power consumption, and the potential for higher brightness levels."
Inspired by squid skin, a new flexible screen from University of Michigan uses magnetic fields to store and display images. No electronics needed!

Apple to unveil iPhone 16 and ‘Apple Intelligence’ AI features
Apple is slated to unveil its latest iPhone and a slew of other new hardware on Monday during its biggest product launch event of the year.
The event, held at Apple’s headquarters in Cupertino, California, features the tagline
“It’s Glowtime”
with the company’s logo surrounded by a colorful aura.
New #colors for the iPhone and other Apple products are rumored to be coming.
In the lead-up to the event, reports around Apple switching from LCD to #OLED #screens,
and rumors of a dedicated photo button circulated widely.
Early coverage of the event also predicted that the tech giant would expand on its AI “#Apple #Intelligence” features.
Earlier this year at Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference (WWDC), the company announced a range of ways that it intended to integrate AI features into its products and services.
One of the biggest reveals was a partnership with #OpenAI to merge #ChatGPT technology with Apple’s #Siri voice assistant,
with executives promising a more “natural” mode of interaction.

Again, the simple binary " #screens or not" fails to account for the wide range of other behaviors that affect a child's wellbeing.
My young kids have high #screentime by anyone's metric, but their other hours are stuffed with enriching, positive activities that actively build their minds, bodies, and hearts.
Stop children using #smartphones until they are 13, says French report
https://www.theguardian.com/world/2024/apr/30/stop-children-using-smartphones-until-they-are-13-say-french-experts-in-report
"The hard-hitting report said #children needed to be protected from the #tech industry’s profit-driven “strategy of capturing children’s #attention, using all forms of #cognitive bias to shut children away on their #screens, control them, re-engage them and #monetise them”. [...] “We want [the industry] to know we’ve seen what they’re doing and we won’t let them get away with it.”"
