Meizu is done making “traditional” smartphones, plans to go “All in” on AI

Chinese smartphone maker Meizu says it plans to go “all in” on AI, which isn’t a surprising announcement for a tech company in 2024. What is a little surprising is that the company says that as part of this transition, it’s done making traditional mobile phones.
The move comes as a response to a changing smartphone market […]

1960s的空乘行业和上面的水上乐园人鱼呈现了惊人的相似——清一色的要求白人、纤细、未婚年轻女孩,因为她们被航空公司当作招揽旅客(当然绝大多数是男性,彼时女性甚至无法拥有独立信用卡)的商品。
#FlyMe 这个广告词所蕴含的毫不掩饰的#男性凝视 与#性化 意味,反过来变成了女性空乘在罢工和游行时的反击武器:#GoFlyYourself

我记得不止一次在茧中局域网的社交网络上看到嘲笑国外航司大把「黑人大妈」空乘的贴文、以及时不时围绕空乘服务的公共讨论(比如空乘有没有义务帮男性乘客放行李箱),对照之下更觉得我们还有很长的路要走。

FlyBrainLab: Google Earth But For A Drosophila Fly’s Brain

In biology there are a couple of truly crucial model animals and insects. Not that they're particularly good students, or pick up their own trash, but in the sense that they have become standard model organisms for research. Aside from genetic research, the FlyEM project seeks to fully map a little fly's brain's neural connections. This common fly, called drosophila melanogaster (or 'lesser fruit fly') has been the subject of a lot of genetic studies, but this study of its brain structure may provide insights in how our brain works as well.

Based on electron microscope images of thin slices of a drosophila brain, the three-dimensional structure of this tiny brain is reconstructed to not only determine the location of each neuron, but also their connections with other neurons. We know that about two-thirds of their brain is dedicated to processing the visual information from their relatively advanced compound eyes, but a lot is still unknown about how this is done, or how the brain's structure develops.

If it's always been your dream to tinker with a little fruit fly's brain, you can do so yourself using the open source FlyBrainLab tool provided, along with the freely available data sources. This tool does not just allow one to visualize the drosophila brain in great detail, but also to create executable circuits and study their functionality. With neurobiology still a largely unexplored territory, this makes for an amazing tool to make this research accessible to anyone.

I guess #Meizu doesn’t want customers visiting their #FlymeOS forums any more. #Flyme
For a cellphone maker, Meizu’s #Flyme forums are some of the least mobile-friendly I’ve seen.
Any other #Meizu #Flyme owner discovered that their nickname keeps getting deleted and there’s no way of reusing it? I’m now User456619640 because of a system SNAFU.
Finding I’m missing the standard Chinese #Meizu apps now I’ve bought an export version. No Pedometer, video and audio apps are far more limited, no electronic wallets … I’m sure I’ll find more limitations. Why won’t you let us change OSes? #Flyme
Downloading a #Flyme update from the official site takes yonks (close to 90 minutes). Wish there was a quicker torrent or some other means of getting the file.
