Our tech has made things worse...

amrshawky.com/posts/tech-made-things-worse/
Amr Shawky's BlogOur tech has made things worse...Before you get your hopes up, this isn’t an essay criticizing the water consumption of data-centers, rising memory prices or capitalism itself. I leave those debates to others. This, dear reader, is an examination of what we, the ’technology collective’, have created in our lifetimes. To spoil it for you, I’m going to argue that, in an effort to forward our beloved electronic technology, we’re making the world a worse place. This also, isn’t an anti-technology rant. The first problem we as enthusiasts and professionals suffer, is the endlessly exploitable quality that we find technology ‘cool’. For most of us, we would gladly advance and improve it whether or not we were being paid for it.

India Orders GitHub to Remove Jack Dorsey's Bitchat Repositories Under IT Act

India has directed GitHub to disable access to the repositories of Bitchat, Jack Dorsey’s decentralized Bluetooth mesh messaging application, under Section 79(3)(b) of the Information Technology Act and the IT Rules, 2021. According to the official notice issued by the Indian Cyber Crime Coordination Centre (I4C), authorities argue that Bitchat’s decentralized architecture, lack of mandatory user registration, absence of centralized logging, and ability to operate without internet connectivity make lawful interception and criminal investigations significantly more difficult.

Why BMS Demands More Stable Current Sensing for Lithium DC Power Systems

DC backup power systems for substations, data centers and renewable energy sites are gradually replacing traditional lead-acid batteries with lithium iron phosphate (LFP) batteries. This upgrade is far more than a simple battery replacement, as it fundamentally transforms the role of current sensing. Lead-acid systems rely on voltage and floating charge status to judge battery conditions. Current sensors only work for basic data display and fault alerts, with loose standards for long-term precision. However, LFP cells feature a flat voltage plateau across most of their SOC range, making voltage alone unable to accurately reflect remaining capacity. Lithium BMS adopts a combined SOC estimation algorithm built on coulomb counting, where stable current sampling is the core foundation. Minor long-term measurement errors like zero drift and temperature drift will accumulate continuously and severely distort SOC calculation, disrupting charge-discharge control and battery safety protection. Lithium DC power panels adopt two separate current detection positions with differentiated sensor selections. The battery side sensor supports core BMS functions including SOC calculation, so high-precision closed-loop Hall sensors (such as CHIPSENSE CR1A series) are preferred for their low drift and excellent long-term stability. The DC bus side sensor monitors overall system load and abnormal current, where cost-effective open-loop Hall sensors (like HS3V series) can meet regular monitoring demands. In short, current sensing has shifted from a simple monitoring tool in lead-acid systems to a critical control data source for lithium BMS. As smart grids and new energy industries expand, DC power systems will keep raising requirements for current sensors in precision, long-term stability and control integration.

What happens when the information runs out - Down the Road

Down the RoadWhat happens when the information runs out - Down the RoadWhen I asked AI to colorize old family photographs, it gave my brother eyebrows that aren't on the negative. That's when I started thinking less about color and more about information.
