Ex-Apple engineer says Apple deliberately slows older phones via updates

https://www.macobserver.com/news/ex-apple-software-engineer-claims-apple-deliberately-slows-down-old-iphone-models/

🟢 That green light glowing in the dark is a mesh radio, GPS receiver, AI assistant, and emergency communications terminal — all running on battery inside a weatherproof aluminum box I built from scratch.

Meet the Cochrane Device — S/N 001.

After Hurricane Maria knocked out communications across Puerto Rico for months, I wanted a way to keep my family connected when everything fails. No cell towers. No internet. No power grid.

So I built one.

📦 Inside the IP66 aluminum enclosure:
→ Meshtastic LoRa mesh radio — encrypted, 15km range per hop
→ GPS with 3D fix in 18 seconds
→ WiFi hotspot so your phone becomes a node
→ Linux computer running full service stack
→ AI assistant that writes scripts on demand in the field
→ Remote access via Tailscale from anywhere on earth
→ 6-8 hours battery, solar chargeable

This is S/N 001 — the prototype. Every lesson learned here makes the next one better.

🖖

We’ve released NSD 4.14.1 with more compact data storage for improved memory efficiency.

Willem also wrote a blog post explaining the approach and measurements showing the reduced memory footprint:

You can tell if someone is a computering supergenius if their solution to a difficult problem looks like nothing.

Lisp is six functions. Forth is 200 bytes. Unix is just tiny programs and text files. The original web is just a hacked SMTP server sending SGML files. And yet, it does *that*.

The huge, complex stuff--Windows, Java, the modern web--is all the work of mediocre thinkers with big budgets and too little time.
