Pebble is officially back on iOS and Android! Download it now, works with all old and new Pebbles. Incredible that everything's still working just as well as before. Can you say that about any other tech product you bought 13 years ago?? rePebble.com/app

Hacker gets annoyed at Amazon’s Kindle apps, reverse-engineers the Kindle web reader’s protocol (which basically sends each page as a set of glyphs in a deliberately broken variant of SVG). Such obscurity, much security. https://blog.pixelmelt.dev/kindle-web-drm/

Mindblowingly cool breakthrough - we made it so all existing Pebble watchfaces/apps now automatically scale up to fill larger and higher resolution Pebble Time 2 display!

Quick update on P2D production - we entered mass production at the end of Aug (ericmigi.com/blog/pebble-...). In Sept, we manufactured 2,960 white Pebble 2 Duos! Feels good to be in full production mode, finally. These watches have been transferred to our fulfillment partner that will ship them out

"Sideloading" is the rentseeker word for "being able to run software of your choosing on a computing device you purchased". There is no reasonable case for an operating system developer having a say over what programs you run on your hardware. #android #google

Thank you Moris for updating your Pebble app to emery platform so I can test it on a real live PT2 :) If you have any emery PBWs, post the pbw or link to appstore here and I will try them out (probably tomorrow)

Recording for my #froscon talk on shipping #kubernetes as a #systemd #sysext and painless in-place updates on #Flatcar #linux is now available: https://media.ccc.de/v/froscon2025-3330-immutable_turtles_all_the_way_down#t=25

Also thanks to a community PR, pebbleOS now has accelerometer support, which instantly caused the step and sleep tracking to work automatically! I'm very tired. About to get on a (delayed) flight from HKG. Signing off for now!

Calm before the conference. If you're at #froscon check out the Flatcar booth right at the Mensa, next to #kairos and near #fedora #coreos. I have a #kubernetes #sysext talk on #Flatcar #container #linux at 6 tomorrow, and @tormath1 will follow up with a hands-on tutorial on Sunday at 4.

We're really proud to show off the final design for Pebble Time 2*! It's quite a bit sleeker and imo more awesome looking than the original design for Core Time 2 we showed off in March. I hope you like it!

I should pin this. It's my biggest pet peeve on social media, one you've heard me discuss here often. And I see I'm in good company. The various versions of "surprised" replies (I get them constantly) are, IMHO, lazy, condescending, and meaningless. Enraged? […] [Original post on mstdn.social]
