ONE YEAR! A lost battle against climate change (Morteratsch Glacier, Eastern Switzerland) Not "just a bit" of ice that is disappearing. The scale is massive and hard to believe, but image sequences like this are helping. Webcam @VAW_glaciology

@SnazzyLabs Sorry to hear, hang in there, please don't stop, your videos will hopefully inspire a better future or at least counterbalance all the crap we're given by them billionaires

Breaking News! Code: FUBAR!!! The preliminary Nino 3.4 sea-surface temperature for September 25th was 29.822°C. This breaks the previous highest temperature ever recorded in the region of 29.815°C, set on November 17th, 2015. The Climate 8-ball is exiting, stage right.

What the f*ck! "Aramco [...], is responsible for more of the carbon emissions driving the escalating climate crisis than any other company in history" Thank you @dpcarrington, @EoghanGilmartin, @SilviaLazzaris, Rita Cruz, @SimonGuichard, @Simon__Guichard and David Haas!

Apparently aerosols were deliberately left out, because "INDIA called for deleting it"?! And adding the invaluable figure WG1 SPM.2 was "opposed by SAUDI ARABIA and INDIA" in a f*cking huddle?! What's next? Removing gravity from physics education? x.com/LeonSimons8/st…

If this had happened with almost any Android flagship brand, the backlash would probably be massive by now. Apple has started using QLC NAND extensively in the 1TB and 2TB versions of the iPhone 18 Pro series. The problem is simple: compared with TLC, QLC is a storage technology that prioritizes higher density and lower cost. It allows manufacturers to offer larger capacities more efficiently, but sustained write performance, performance after cache exhaustion, and write endurance are all inherently weaker. And now we have real-world testing that shows just how large the gap can become. HOMOLAB tested a 1TB QLC iPhone 18 Pro Max. With plenty of SLC cache available, write speeds can exceed 3,000 MB/s, so during normal use, opening apps or taking a few photos, you may never notice anything unusual. But once the cache is exhausted, average direct-to-QLC write speed drops to around 79.4 MB/s, with lows of roughly 25.6 MB/s. When storage usage reaches around 60%, the available SLC cache reportedly shrinks from about 250GB to 58GB, while average direct QLC write speed falls to around 45 MB/s. In an extreme case, it even dropped to just 1.1 MB/s. The gap also shows up in mixed read/write workloads. A 512GB TLC model scored 11,285, while the 1TB QLC version scored only 8,168, a difference of nearly 38%. And this is where the situation becomes especially questionable. The 1TB and 2TB models are the most expensive versions, and they are also the ones most likely to be bought by power users and professionals. These are exactly the users who are more likely to record long ProRes or 4K videos, transfer huge files, batch-process photos and videos, or keep their storage heavily occupied. So you pay more for more storage, yet you may end up with inherently weaker NAND. Apple’s storage controller and caching strategy are genuinely impressive. In most everyday scenarios, they can hide many of QLC’s weaknesses extremely well. But cache can only hide those weaknesses. It cannot change the underlying physical characteristics of QLC NAND. If another flagship brand did this on its most expensive high-capacity models, I can only imagine how brutal the reaction would be.

HOLYYY Apple just pulled the biggest SWITCHEROO after 10 DAYS It seems they will no longer support older iPhones with the new photographic styles i posted this morning

Updated my iPhone Pro camera reference chart Another year with a 1/1.28" Sony 90X sensor, we know what to hope for for next year...

LAs air quality has improved significantly over the last 20 years. But yes the clarity during COVID was amazing and what can be.

This is west LA, the place I was born. That haze you see isn’t fog. It’s the exhaust from the millions of vehicles Angelenos depend on to get around. For all of the decades i’ve spent here, it has been a constant. We live it, we breathe it, we add to it every time we leave

@iAm_erica I guess it's the 17PM, but have to ask: which one seems closer to D6500?

@SnazzyLabs Or good at distinguishing elements. I use that option.

35 DEGREES IN SIBERIA IN MID SEPTEMBER The brutally hot air from Middle East is moving East with 40C in Kazakhstan,35C In Siberia at 53N latitude. Next days the hot air will enter China and Mongolia with temperatures up to 35C at 1000m asl It's a never ending fabric of heat waves

@LukeMiani Ha! Were you being sarcastic or serious? I've also considered it but seeing the weight, that they're still not silicon carbide but only more efficient thanks to C2 (which doesn't help whenthey're pushed hard), I'm turned off and glad I have my 17 Pro. Gonna get an Ultra 4 tho.

I love these comparisons even if this one is pretty sad. Here is the 1941 vs 2004 view of the Muir Glacier in Alaska. Source: buff.ly/sKlaZoL
