Factorio, Don't Starve Together

According to this twitter, the data partition needs an fsck: https://twitter.com/MishaalRahman/status/1721945205119553794

And people have tried the Nov OTA image, it didn't help: https://issuetracker.google.com/u/1/issues/305766503#comment843

Android's stock backup misses a lot of things, apps can opt-out and many do, it also doesn't backup files or documents or photos. Photos are "backed up" if you enable Google Photos cloud sync, but that's separate. It basically just backs up your phone calls/SMS, system settings and what apps you have installed (but not their data unless they tie into the backup APIs).

Still waiting for an OTA image to fix the boot loop. Or, an admission from Google that users data is lost.

Except for those who had the issue and rebooted their phone and it's stuck at "pixel is starting...". This update doesn't fix the issue for those devices. They are still working on it, possibly.

I used GitHub's search across the entire Graphene org, but couldn't find any references to the issue. Doesn't mean its not there, I just couldn't find it. If the technical details of the issue were public, it would help people know whether or not their data is recoverable if they are already stuck with a "pixel is starting..." phone that doesn't boot.

Some rough estimates:

Even if it only affects 0.1% of users, that still puts the number of affected users in the thousands to 10s of thousands range, with an estimated 10-15 million Pixel 6-8 phones out there. T-Mobile (and Google Fi) haven't even allowed Android 14 to go out as well. So between the 800 stars and 500 comments on the bug, and the other 564 votes and 260 comments on the community forum post, and given that only a fraction of people do that, many are going to contact Google Support privately, or take the phone to BestBuy or wherever, that somewhat lines up.

I'd still think someone would've run into in the beta, particularly since beta users are even more tech savvy and likely to use multiple users. But perhaps not enough reports to get Google's attention.

But this is something that Google's automated testing should've caught. You don't have to do anything other than use the feature, and switch between accounts several times. Not a hard bug to hit at all.

They said that, but I couldn't find the fix in their github repository. Does anyone know the commit that fixes this bug? It would help shed light on the technical details of the issue.

I'm sure its just hidden in all that fur. The dog will be okay.

Brother laser printers are great. As long as you get one that supports Postscript (Brother calls this BR-Script), PCL5 or PCL6. You can see this under the "emulations" printing specs on a printer model page. PostScript and PCL both have fully open source implementations so you'll usually be able to just use built-in CUPS gutenprint or foomatic drivers. I also recommend ethernet (wired or wireless) and not usb.

Do not get one that only says "GDI" emulations which is Windows based and can be really painful to deal with.

SDF has been having some scaling pains. But it looks like it federated to lemmy.world, how about this link? https://lemmy.world/post/304685

They have already started mass production of the cells at CATL, etc. I would guess building packs and larger products on that will take some development, a year or two? But I see 18650 sodium ion cells on Alibaba, although I couldn't say if they are actually as advertised.

Edit, I suppose it depends what you mean by consumer use. Are you asking when they'll be in every corner hardware store? Or when people can buy cells/packs for DIY projects online (which would be something you can do now).
