its not just calibration, if you want uniform screens you have to pay more because they have a lower yield (and also apple buys all the good ones) and samesung is cheap

but they're "fixing" it with a software setting, which means they could/should be applying that setting at assembly time and not exposing it to the users

not saying you're wrong but has anybody ever deployed an actually good user-facing java system?

early mac os x days had supported java bindings for cocoa so it's entirely possible that there were some sufficiently-concealed java apps that worked and nobody knew about

It might just be power of suggestion, but I definitely see something similar when scrolling on a pixel that's upside down. Presumably it's not the actual AMOLED module being mounted upside down, but something a little more subtle elsewhere in the chain.

what if the link between gpu and screen isn't fast enough to update the whole screen at once so it has to change row by row

Essential, the smartphone maker from Android co-founder Andy Rubin, is staying mum on whether its titular gadget has been delayed. News organizations began pinging the company last week when it was clear Essential missed its 30-day shipping deadline set by Rubin himself at the Code Conference in late May. The company has not appeared to respond to any of these requests, including The Verge’s, leaving pre-order buyers and other interested parties in the dark on the fate of the Android-powered handset.

we haven't heard of anyone dying so I guess it wasn't essential after all

quote:

On Android, disabling Wi-Fi is not necessarily sufficient to prevent the device from sending WiFi
frames as some devices still generate Wi-Fi frames after Wi-Fi has been disabled. Therefore,
disabling Wi-Fi is not enough to escape data collection by Wi-Fi tracking systems.
To prevent the device from sending Wi-Fi frame, it is necessary to disable two features on the
device: both Wi-Fi and the "Always allow scanning" option must be disabled in order to have
a silent device. On some devices this option is not even available, meaning that the user cannot
prevent its phone from sending Wi-Fi frames.
Although most recent versions of Android include MAC address randomization [1], there are
still a number of devices that are not supporting this feature. The MAC address randomization
feature has been introduced in version 6.0 of Android, and as of today 54.2% of Android devices
are using an older version [2]. Furthermore, MAC randomization is activated provided that the
hardware supports it, which is rarely the case as of 2017 [6].

Doesnt this mean your phone could like, violate FCC regs because its busy handshaking the in-air wifi over and over. Of course you're supposed to have your phone powered off anyway but, well.
