it’s a thing.

Yes I hate it.

I think it can be disabled in bios.

Everything is probably fine.

It has also come out that there is a bug in the instagram app from what I’ve been reading.

This is causing a drastic increase in temperature and battery use on all iOS devices running ios17.

This could very well just be some app code bug that is caught in a processing loop.

It also explains why some people are seeing this and others are not, as not everyone is sitting on instagram while their phone is on charge.

46c… lmfao what a stupid headline.

That is absolutely NOT “hot”or “overheating” for a piece of tech under stress.

The phone housing is the heat sync, and the phone is more powerful than many people’s few year old laptops.

Not to defend apple but this is just trying to sensationalise and farm clicks, my pixel 7 used to get way hotter doing just normal tasks to the point I was getting overheat warnings and the screen would shut off.

Now if it was more like 55c I could see that being an issue at least from a comfort standpoint.

On top of this, pointing a thermal camera as an emissive surface like glass… not the most accurate way to actually get a temperature reading, they should have used a thermal couple… but I’m guessing that would have showed an even less exciting click bait number.

In diplomatic speak, this is actually very strong language.

As an example one of the most extreme diplomatic phrases would be “x country has committed an unfriendly act”

Where do you think the saying “diplomatically speaking” comes from?

When the words you say can end in people dying or economic ruin, it makes you somewhat strongly consider exactly which words you should say.

In order to avoid… more aggressive negotiations from occurring.

The fact that their statement is clearly committing them to removing the barrier is strong language especially with the military power imbalance between the Phillipines and China.

China in the South China Sea is a bit like a 4 year old seeing what they can get away with.

Don't blame me...

I want to give people a chance but why would I hire someone fresh with no experience who won't except a starter wage because they think they are:

"qualified now and deserve a high pay"

Just because that's what the for profit, higher education system has told them, does not make it true.

If someone had instead spent those four years in the industry gaining some experience from a beginner role, plus went and got a few industry certifications, I would be much much more likely to hire them and at a higher wage.

That would show that they are capable of actually functioning In the role, and have a bit of knowledge about how the real industry works, and how to function in a real workplace.

Doing well at university while admirable often requires completely different skills to what you end up needing in your chosen field. You can't blame employers for knowing that and hiring accordingly.

I think nowadays the correct play is enter the industry you want to go into immediately out of school, at whatever basement level you can get in at, study part time to get the piece of paper while also getting real experience.

You will be far more capable (aka valuable) at the end of it.

See the issue is "gain all the skills"

Comes after the job

Grads know nothing... They just hopefully have the foundation concepts there now to build the true knowledge of how things work and are done in the real world.

That's the real reason grads can't get jobs... I'll take someone with 10 years real world experience in the role or one similar and no on paper qualifications in a heartbeat over a fresh faced university graduate.

Honestly not to defend apple here... but does the timing of this announcement seem a bit too convenient.

And there is no contest.

100% this.

I have even noted a huge deterioration since I have been in the IT industry, and that's just been since the mid 2000's

  1. People have no idea how to do basic process of elimination troubleshooting anymore.

  2. They have no ability to look at logs and extrapolate what could be going on.

  3. They don't understand how to use a search engine effectively anymore or how to rapidly filter through large amounts of information to find answers (I have no idea why)

  4. The ability to understand how the various bits of tech actually work together and how this is happening seems to be getting more and more lost. So then which things fail people have no idea where to start.

  5. More and more products as you said "just work"... Until they don't and give you jack shit to go on.

Basically just "oh... It didn't work, try again later" nothing is more infuriating than something not working and also giving you no information to troubleshoot, it's why I am basically allergic to anything made by Apple in particular but this is becoming more and more the standard.
