Democratic wins in the midterms are expected to lead to increased regulation and moratoriums on AI data centers, contrasting with former President Trump's support for rapid data center expansion to compete with China. Local voter concerns about energy use and…

Phones ship full of software nobody asked for, and the usual "fixes" are worse than the problem: rooting voids warranties and breaks banking apps, and one-tap "boosters" mostly just show you an animation. I wanted a third option — remove bloat without root, keep every change reversible, and then prove the phone actually got faster. That's adb-kit. No root, fully reversible adb-kit drives wireless ADB. It disables or uninstalls packages per-user, which needs no root and touches nothing in the system partition. Because the operations are per-user, every change is reversible — you can bring any package back. Nothing is permanent, so there's no "I bricked my phone" failure mode. Measure, don't vibe The part I care about most: adb-kit profiles the result with gfxinfo so the effect is a number, not a feeling. Anyone can claim a phone "feels snappier." I'd rather show frame times. On a vivo V21, here's the measured before/after: Packages: 327 → 275 (52 removed) Average frame time: 18 ms → 12 ms Janky frames: 0.27% → 0.00% Those are documented in the repo with screenshots, on the same device, same workload. A ~33% drop in frame time is the difference between "mostly smooth" and "smooth." Why reversibility changes the psychology The honest reason most people never debloat is fear — fear of removing the wrong thing. Making every action reversible removes the fear, which is what makes the toolkit actually usable rather than just technically correct. You can be aggressive precisely because you can undo it. The principle I don't ship "boosters." I ship tools that make a claim and then back it with a measurement you can reproduce. If I can't show the before and after, I don't get to say it got faster.

From roundabouts to the stock market, relentless streamlining could be making the world more dangerous We have all been there: packed shoulder to shoulder on the train while the person beside us coughs and sneezes. A protective flu jab offers some reassurance, but so does the thought that there will be a hospital bed for you, should you need it. Yet, in England, about 95% of adult hospital beds were occupied at the height of flu season last year. If hospitals were hotels, that level of occupancy would be good business, and we would commend them for their efficiency. But do we really want a hospital to have so few beds in reserve that it’s just one bad flu week away from having to treat patients in corridors? Continue reading...
