Daily Tech News 15 June 2021

Top Story

Apple: You can't run any sort of dynamic code on iOS.
Also Apple: If you don't like it, use a web app.
Also also Apple: You can't bring your own browser to iOS. They're all just skins over Safari.
Also also also Apple: Safari is broken.

Ran into a spectacularly awful Safari bug in the latest Safari (14.1.1 on macOS and iOS 14.6).

Opening an IndexedDB database fails 100% of the time on the first try. 😩

If you refresh, it starts working.

You're holding it wrong.

Anime of the day is Shirobako, from 2014, a not entirely unrealistic look inside the anime industry. Yes, everything is a bit too clean, but the depiction of people working unreasonable hours under insane constraints for crappy pay is pretty accurate.

It's also a great show in its own right.

Tech News

Razer has a new 4-port USB charger that delivers 130W from a device not much larger than the typical 20W models you get for $20 or less. (AnandTech)

This one has two major differences: It uses GaN - gallium nitride - semiconductors rather than regular silicon, and the USB ports are green.

Oh, and it costs $180.
They also have a new 14" AMD-based laptop. (Tom's Hardware)

All models have an 8 core 5900HX, 16GB of RAM, and a 1TB SSD; the choice is between a 1920x1080 or 2560x1440 screen, and Nvidia RTX 3060, 3070, or 3080 graphics.

They don't have the four essential keys, though, so they're crap.
US nuclear weapons contractor Sol Oriens got hit by ransomware. (Bleeping Computer)
So did Fujifilm. (Bleeping Computer)
So did the Teamsters, though they ~~had the culprits whacked~~ refused to pay. (NBC News)
The G7 quote-leaders-unquote asked that nice Mister Putin if he could please have a word with the criminal gangs that seem to operate out of his house without his permission. (Bleeping Computer)

Also, guys, your new National Security Advisor is a complete fucking wanker.

It's Not A Phase Mom Video of the Day

So, just in the first moments - Slayers, Evangelion, 3x3 Eyes, Escaflowne - to be fair, in that case the guy just has long hair, he's not cross-dressing, and El Hazard. And then Project A-ko, Sorcerer Hunters, Dual: Parallel Trouble Adventure, Dragon Half, Ranma, and Utena...

Which all came out around the same time.

Okay, maybe it was a phase.

Disclaimer: It was definitely a phase.
