I collect the officially published article for each of these hardware vulnerabilities faster than I have chance to read them.
With this one, I've got 93 articles, and counting.

I'm sure that an actual researcher in this field would have quite many more ...

I would rather be able to make phone calls with tablet that is sturdy, durable and does not fold.

Then have to use external devices to make phone calls: such as headset, smartwatch or ... a portable handset.

A tablet will be able to have more battery for radio communication and processing power, and is the superior device for when I actually need the touch screen anyway.
Size does not matter. I'm carrying my man-bag with my anyway.

Why? Why is this not possible? Does Google's Android license forbid it?

I always open sensitive web sites in "Private Browsing" / "Incognito" mode anyway, if only to make sure that the session is closed when I close the browser.

At least in Chrome/Chromium, browser extensions are disabled in that mode by default You'd have to enable them if you want them.

The cynic in me thinks that perhaps Samsung's economists have a bleak outlook on how the purchasing power of the average American consumer is going to be within foreseeable time.

Oh, it does have Wifi and "Handheld video games consoles" is mentioned in the annex. So, no, Nintendo should not be off the hook this time.
I'm stupid of course (and posting at 2 am ...)

The EU directive applies only to devices that could be classified as "Radio equipment".

Because the Nintendo Switch 2 doesn't communicate with the outside world, they are off the hook, for now.

I've already been doing it for over a year.
Try to keep up, will you.

There is the Asterinas project: a kernel completely written in Rust and with a Linux-compatible ABI -- being able to run Linux binaries.
Unsafe Rust is limited to a small portion of the whole kernel.

Classic AI, sure. LLMs: absolutely not. I avoid it on principle.

The crime of stealing people's works for "AI training" has also effectively stopped me from publishing any of my personal source code or CAD drawings on-line.
Not only do I not want it copied without my consent, I also have some source code that is very very ugly, optimised for specific compilers for embedded systems -- and which should never ever be used as a template by someone else, who is probably not very skilled ... or who is under more stress because their boss has got the delusion that fewer people would be able to do the same amount of work.

Here in the EU, there is law that says that a content creator has the right to opt out of "AI training". (except for the "for research" loophole).
However, even if there are well-established file formats and protocols for expressing opt-out (where there aren't), the techbros have already shown over and over again that they don't give a sith -- they have even used pirated works.
Before there are proper non-AI licenses, and infrastructure in place restricting access for those who are bound to EU jurisdiction and are well-behaving, I don't see how the situation could improve.

I would be wary of getting even a single one of these into my lungs.

You know what else are tiny particles smaller than a human hair: asbestos.

There is no such thing. 8 * 1920 = 15 * 1024.

Anyway.... screens are getting bigger. A month ago I worked with installing multiple 100" screens in conference rooms, programming display processors to show a mosaic of four video sources on the same screen. When the source signal is the same resolution as the screen's video input, the sources had to be scaled down.
It might take some time before the equipment exists, but it would still be nice to have the standard ready before then.

And... 14 years ago, I visited this wall-sized touch screen exhibit. The pixels were huge up close.
Even earlier back at uni, I programmed a 3D virtual environment cube of screens surrounding a user inside. Of course the pixels were huge up close there too.

Are you feeling shame for the environmental impact that your use of LLMs is having?
Well, maybe you should.

"Touch typing" can mean different things.

The typing schools teach that there are supposed to be diagonal columns of keys on the keyboard, and that you should use only one finger per column (... except for each index finger and each pinkie having two columns each).

But the typewriter keyboard was never designed with any columns in mind. The keys were mounted on mechanical levers and the layout was simply a consequence of getting the levers equally spaced.
If you'd force yourself to use the school method, your left wrist would have to be kept in an unnatural angle for a long time, which could cause strain injuries later on.
That is why some "ergonomic" keyboards -- made for school-"touch typists" -- have the keys in actual columns.

For the rest of us, who just learn to "type without looking", we learn other habits, and develop other muscle memory.
If you use computers much, I think that you should definitely learn to do that.
Then the regular typewriter layout is ergonomic enough.

That said, I've worked with people who were very good programmers but slow typists. Programming is mostly about thinking, not typing.

Except ... Please don't pull over into the bike lane while you're doing it, like some idiot did in front of me yesterday.

That's good, but I find that my prints have too many print lines and other imperfections. I prefer to fill and sand and then paint them, first with a layer of primer and then with spray paint.

It would be nice if there was spray paint available in Platinum beige, or just anything that is remotely close. I have tried many brands throughout the years trying to mimic the vintage look but not really been lucky: it has either been too white or too saturated.
The closest I've found to any vintage beige was a beige primer. My keyboard is in dire need of a touch-up.
