Still not great, but do you know about the spacebar trick? Anywhere the keyboard is open in iOS or iPadOS, press and hold the spacebar. The keyboard is now a trackpad and you can easily move the cursor. Incredibly bad discoverability but has been a big qol improvement for me.

The author didn't specify whether the donated iPads had LTE connectivity but did say that they very much enjoyed LTE on theirs. This is an edge for the iPad I think? Not sure how the cell plans would be worked out but having an always on, semi reliable connection could be a big positive here.
My 200 Euro Thinkpad has a slot for a SIM card, which I use for 3G connectivity. I'm sure a newer one would have LTE, or I might even be able to replace the card in my Thinkpad to get LTE. Also, having internet on a laptop while on the go is fucking awesome (without the fiddlyness of turning on a hotspot).
This is an issue I've seen with programmers that hop around companies every year or two - they rarely get to see how their software choices play out in the long term and so never really internalize what works and what doesn't. Same issue to some extent with people who keep hopping around languages/frameworks - if you only have experience writing projects from scratch you'll never really understand what works and what doesn't from a long term maintenance perspective.
Once you've logged into facebook from the device, they likely created a device fingerprint for your device: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Device_fingerprint . This would allow them to identify you even without a cookie or ad id to correlate against.
Fingerprinting across devices is possible too, using things like behavioral analytics, network traffic, timing, third-party data sources etc.
The third party data sources is the easy one. Log into service A on your computer and service A on your phone. Service A fingerprints both and sells the data to service B. Now service B knows how to correlate your behavior between devices even though you never logged in.
I’m sure you’ve logged in something on both your phone and computer. It doesn’t have to be Facebook.
Has anyone here had experience with this type of "decision automation" platform? Bryter looks very well put together, I haven't worked anywhere that was using software like this before.
Agreed! The ORM I'm currently using has been setting text for all my `string` columns by default and I was feeling the need to go fix a few, so this is one of those magical times when procrastinating on an issue paid off in my favour.
On that note though, I wonder what impact (if any) this has on an index covering the column? I could be off here but from my mysql days I was under the impression the index would be more efficient if there was a length limit on the column.
