    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).

    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.

    Brother printer questions

    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.

  • A loadium of sodium: why are sodium-ion batteries exciting?

    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).

    I think it is an underappreciated advantage of solar and storage that these projects are so often on-time and on-budget compared to a lot of other infrastructure projects we hear about.

    To be fair, I think the idea would be to change the albedo of Earth so that more sunlight is reflected back into space. But it would need to reflect more light/heat than it produces in waste heat for the refrigeration, who wants to do the math?

    And what's with the electrical blowouts and explosions? There's no need to run high voltage or plasma throughout the bridge, these are control systems, it should all be low voltage computers.

    Electric Water Heaters Are Better at Storing Energy Than a Tesla Powerwall

    They seem to just be looking at hot water production alone for typical home uses. By heating (or even overheating) that water when renewable supplies are abundant using smart controls for time of use plans, it offsets more energy production for far less money than batteries would cost.

    Since you're on another instance, it might need to sync.

    If you use the search, and search for !dontstarve@sh.itjust.works

    Then wait a few seconds, search again, it should sync and show up and let you click it.

    I hope they improve this process in the new version of Lemmy.

    I get what you're saying, but I just can't agree. Putting a decision early in the onboarding process when they don't have the context to make an informed decision, it adds a lot of friction. If you are referring friends or members of a community, refer an instance you believe in. If they find out later it doesn't work for them, they can always move. Personally I found choosing an instance upfront put me off from joining lemmy for weeks. And ultimately it wasn't a very important decision in the long run as nothing is guaranteed and you can always move.

    I agree. The all new feed with federation is the only thing that has enough content for me as well. I could see users moving away from all the involved servers or maybe just beehaw. There are still a lot of instances that link with beehaw, lemmy.world and shitjustworks so you can see everything.
