Metr: Electricity Tracker is a new Android app to track Pre-Paid Electricity in South Africa


A screenshot of the Metr app showing three information buttons - one says Daily expense R100, another shows Daily consumption as 30.07, and the third shows Cost per unit as R3.33.
Metr helps you simplify your prepaid electricity budget. All you need to do is create an entry each time you purchase electricity and Metr will automatically calculate your cost per unit, daily expenses and daily consumption. These statistics can help you be more aware of your electricity usage, providing a metric for you to improve and save!

Under useful stats, it also has Time Until Next Refill. This can help you budget and plan, knowing when you will need to purchase electricity again. It will also allow you to know how long your balance is going to last.

This is by a brand-new developer as their first attempt at writing an Android app, so it may have some rough edges, but it could be really useful to many in South Africa.

It is free with adverts so although the dev does not collect or share your data, the Google ad system may well do so. If the app does well enough, maybe the dev will consider doing a paid ad-free version too.

'Tis The Season For Stress and Anxiety?

Should major events we all celebrate such as Christmas be a time of stress, anxiety, and burden when they all could be a positive joyful experience?

Chris Pickett founded Indivisible Montgomery in December 2016 and grew the group to more than 1,700 members who continue to fight the Trump agenda.

He's sharing excerpts from his memoir about the experience on Medium.

I feel bored. I have the potential to do more interesting things maybe. But I don't feel ready to do them rn...
I'm a bit stressed. I've been thinking and I've also had a potentially really cool idea.

I have so many potential things I could be doing. I'm wondering what I can do thats most strategic and exciting to me.
I've been doing a lot of thinking but I have a lot left to think about and figure out. Some stuff I'm just gonna have to see.
There are seperate planning/theorizing and action parts of getting stuff done. Ive also learned it helps to take things slow as much as you can.
Wondering how my time is best spent now.

Cape has been selling a privacy-focused cellphone service to the U.S. military, now offering to high-risk members of the public


Smartphone screen showing title Dashboard. Below that is text stating Good morning, you are rotating personas every 6 hours. Below that it lists the previous persona rotations with the date and time of each.
Cape runs its own mobile core, all of the software necessary to route messages, authenticate users, and basically be a telecom. Ultimately, this gives Cape the control to do more privacy-enhancing things, such as periodically give its phones a new IMEI—a unique identifier for the phone—and new IMSI—a similar identifier, but one attached to the SIM card (or eSIM in Cape’s case). The phone can also give itself a new mobile advertising identifier (MAID), which is an identifier advertising ecosystems and apps use to track peoples’ web browsing activity and is sometimes linked to their physical movement data. Cape said the IMEI and MAID rotation is handled by the custom Cape handset, which runs standard up-to-date Android.

Cape lets users create bundles of these identifiers, called “personas”, then cycle through them at different points. This means that during some attacks, a Cape phone may look like a different phone each time.

Well, this is a very interesting phone. Whether governments really want their citizens (or their terrorists or child molesters) to have these devices is another story…

The author also raises an intriguing point about why has AT&T and other phone networks not offered something like this before. The easy answer is wire-tapping requirements (remember the NSA vs PGP encryption in the 1990’s). Google could have offered encrypted email too if it wished, but reading our mail helps fuel its advertising business.

But way more shocking in the linked article, was the statement by the author that they have not owned a smartphone since 2017! I get that you can do a lot on your desktop (like I do), but even I realised that I needed that banking app to do 2FA when approving payments, or SMS for some sites still to authenticate access, and needed Waze to navigate through ever denser traffic, etc. Even the poorest of the poor in our country now at least have a feature phone.

I find it difficult enough telling many people, no, really, I don’t have WhatsApp when they want to send receipts to me via WhatsApp.

DXOMARK’s Apple iPhone 16 Camera test


Front view of an Apple iPhone 16 with a blue pattern home screen and no icons. Slightly behind it, to the left, is the rear side of an iPhone 16 showing the two round camera lenses.
Although I no longer use an iPhone, I do always find DXOMARK’s benchmark testing interesting for the various flagship phones. It shows too that a megapixel number is not what you should compare one phone against another on.

I always try to compare based on like for like tests done between the various devices.

Spoiler: iPhone 16 falls behind the Pixel 9 and 8 cameras. But still it is worth “zooming” in on the aspects that are important to you as none of the phones perform equally across all the different aspects measured.

4 reasons why you should use Docker containers on your PC


Computer desktop showing a window open. The window title says docker.desktop. It shows search results for "calibre", with some docker image names listed. To the left is a navigation pane showing Containers, Images, Volumes, Builds, Docker Scout, and Extensions.
I use Docker containers exclusively on my servers, but have yet to explore using them on my desktop computer or a Raspberry Pi. I do use Flatpaks quite a bit, and there seems to be a case for Docker containers being lighter than Flatpaks even (not sure about this yet).

But certainly, Docker containers are ultra-lightweight (just think also how quickly they spin up).

And yes, they do isolate their environment and prevent any chance of conflicting packages.

If you use Docker containers on your desktop, let me know which you are finding useful for a desktop environment.

How to update your SSD firmware on Windows


Close view of a motherboard showing just as SSD drive slotted into it. Text on drive card says V-NAND SSD 980 PRO PCIe 4.0 NVMe M2. Brand name says Samsung.
Software updates are an integral part of modern life, with your computer’s operating system and your smartphone being smart enough to update on its own. But that’s not the case for every piece of electronics, and many need a manual touch to get them updated. Pretty much every computing device you own, from the best M.2 SSDs to your computer’s motherboard and the router powering your home network, all runs on a combination of firmware and hardware. It’s called firmware instead of software because it’s designed to be permanently embedded in the device that it controls and updated only periodically.

These firmware updates can fix performance-related issues, security holes, or other types of bugs. Because they’re not scheduled regularly, it’s even more important that you update the firmware when a new version arrives. For SSDs, firmware controls how data is stored and read, as well as other functions that the SSD controller needs to operate efficiently to give you the best performance possible. Every SSD manufacturer has a slightly different way of handling updates, but they all have one thing in common–they’re quick and easy to do.

This is a bit of a Catch-22: Updating firmware on a SSD does have a slight chance of borking the drive, and some say it is better not to mess with something that is working OK…
