First Xiaomi, then the world: why Arm might give phone gaming a huge graphics boost by Sean Hollister

By following Nvidia’s playbook, Arm-powered phones are about to have PC-like technologies to make games run faster, at higher resolution, with advanced lighting techniques, all without using more power than they do today. The jagged edges you see in the mobile versions of popular games might begin to go away.

Seems interesting. The goal is for phones to be a switch like device, or better. Like what the PS portal could be.

Oooohhh Summer, How Much Risk Is a Useful Amount of Risk? by Craig Mod

The world doesn’t need a park that bans rollerblading. It needs one that bans smartphones.

Oh yes it does.

The other takeaway from Matthew’s talk was people tend to “report” stories rather than tell them. So they report what happened and what was said, but they leave out what they a) thought, and b) felt. Add those two in and you’re doing better than most.

I’m trying to do the second part more in my nordletters.

OnePlus is reportedly bailing on the US by Jay Peters

Should the exit actually happen, it will mark a conclusion to months of rumors about the future of OnePlus. Android Headlines said in January that OnePlus was being “dismantled,” though OnePlus, in a statement at the time, said that “OnePlus North America continues to operate, with full guarantee of users’ after-sales support, software updates, and rights commitments.”

End of an era. Though the signs have been there for a long time now.

I remember OnePlus during its flagship killer days. It was such a great phone and available for a steal. I never had a OnePlus, but my friends did.

Finland sets tougher guidelines: No social media or smartphones for under-13s

The agencies recommend that children under the age of 13 should not have smartphones of their own or be allowed to use social media. The recommendations cover youngsters’ free time, not homework or other school-related tasks.

For younger kids, no screen time at all is recommended for children aged under the age of two, with a maximum of one hour of screen time daily for those aged 2–10, rising to two hours for kids aged 11–13.

After reading this I was not sure if this is a done deal or it’s just a recommendation like the dietary guidelines?

I think it’s the latter.
