You don't even have to check the links. The submitter is Nerval's Lobster, Slashdot's Dice-bot.
I just checked his profile and gave up before I could find a submission that did not contain a Dice link

Yeah but that wasn't a dicevertisment!
Fine by me, that way I only gotta port it to one platform. Should also make support easier. So if you want my app, get Android. If you don't have one, sucks to be you.
Not knocking your choices, but see your deliberate abstaining from iOS made me want to know which platform is better for monetization of apps. That led me to this article: For Mobile Monetization, Choose Android for Ads and Apple For In-App Purchases and the stats of:
iOS users are 32% more likely to make a purchase, and spend 10% more than Android users. Developers using the in-app purchasing and freemium models will also want to take note of the in-app purchasing numbers, with iOS users spending 45% more the Android users on in-app purchases.
Google’s mobile platform typically generates more engagement per app. Although session times remain consistent between Android and iOS, Android users will start more app sessions per month (on average by 17%).
So to be cynical you need to consider how much money you can squeeze out of each user for each platform and use that to decide whether supporting the platform is a worthwhile ROI. However I also saw a stat that said there are more than 2x number of android users - so you need to factor that in as well.
Submission is as thin as saran wrap on a toilet seat, and just as desirable.
I clicked on the link (without looking at the source) expecting to find stories of all sorts of apps that were rejected for unexpected reasons. The tease was GPS to automatically control a real-world aircraft or automobile. The trouble was
Not news and known to anyone who develops iOS apps, and even if you don't develop iOS apps

At least the notebook's logs weren't written in a cryptic binary format like systemd's logs. Because they're in plain text, we can still easily understand them over a century later.
While I laughed at the joke, this is actually a serious problem.
If you don't explicitly transfer electronic data from one generation of media/format to the next then it becomes so much harder to recover it with each technical generation that you skip. Which means that in the future when people digital media hidden away in some shoebox that belonged to their great-grandpa, they are more likely to throw it away than to try and figure out what it is.
Yes, you can find off the shelf computers which will do this and which have real GPUs.

That's not going to help him. Apparently where he is at, the google is broken.

I'd still use past tense given that the experiment was 32 years ago
I am not too sure what you are complaining about, "data" is plural by strict definition, if not common usage.
I'm complaining about the tense of the origins of the data, and how that doesn't match the data itself
I suppose that I've been around here long enough to not expect any better.
As a "maker" who sells small runs of boards . . I trust that they will build the board to spec . . I don't know what the right answer is
If you are getting boards built but not checking that they are to spec, then I'd suggest that you are not doing any quality control. Doing that would be the very first step in the process. And you don't have to test every board, just a random sample.
And FTDI has now done the heavy lifting for you by writing software that will test if their chips are genuine.
So the better question is how can we improve the system to ensure that counterfeit chips aren't being secretly swapped into our products.
That's easy
