In a surprise to absolutely nobody, looks like #Apple's #WWDC26 wallpaper is AI-manipulated, judging by the leftover metadata in the file. The layer names look a lot like AI prompts to me.

#Apple pushed out a country bundle update for #Sweden that enables cell broadcast for emergencies, called SE-Alert here.

If you want to get it now, go to Settings - General - About, and you should get a popup to update.

From what I read it will be first tested on September 7th, along with the usual Hesa Fredrik test.

Uhoh, something went down at #Telenor, looks like. Wired internet is down, and their homepage doesn't load at all

Ooh, looks like a rolling shutter desync in Czechia's performance?

#Eurovision

Woo, managed to enable 5 GHz DFS channel support on #Kobo Clara BW!

The kernel is indeed signed, but the Wi-Fi driver is an out-of-tree module and is not signed in any way. Sources are available, took me a bit to find what to change, but ultimately a success.

Bundled DHCP client dhcpcd 6.6.6 is a bit buggy though. In my network I advertise a classless route. That seems to take precedence over the default route, so the reader ends up without one.

Hah, how about square icons in #iOS!
Looking through #GitLab docs, when suddenly "oh hey, that's me!"

Got a little bit of a #DeepSpaceNetwork dashboard of my own :> Should hopefully see the #Orion telemetry signal pop back up soon.

#Artemis #NASA #JPL

To those watching #Artemis live coverage on #iOS, if you open the stream from nasa.gov, you'll be able to play it in picture-in-picture mode without YouTube Premium, unlike Youtube's website or app.

Looking at digital radio bitrate statistics (DAB), seems like Sweden has got it under control in comparison. In Australia, UK it's just sad. How is 24-32 kbps acceptable for music channels? I understand it's HE-AAC (unclear whether SBR or SBR+PS), but still. I have a suspicion this has become somewhat of a norm?
