As we all know, President Donald Trump’s on/off tariffs will lead to a manufacturing boom in the U.S., with legions of former USAID workers happily screwing tiny components into dirt-cheap smart phones. Or… will it? @404mediaco’s @jasonkoebler talked to Todd Weaver, founder of Purism, creator of the “made in the USA” Liberty Phone. “The phone that you were able to manufacture in the United States is not as fast as the latest iPhone. Can the newest best chips and components be manufactured in the U.S., and what would it take to do it here?” asks Koebler. “The short answer is yes ... because you didn't ask me the timing,” replies Weaver.

Anybody ever had problems with an #iphone and #IMAP on a #selfhosted #email server? Feel free to boost for fun.

I was just helping my wife and her mail app (iPhone 13, iOS 18.3.2) would just spin saying “connecting”. I’m standing next to her, with my iPhone 13 Pro, iOS 18.3.2 and I’m on the same WiFi checking email on the same server just fine.

I tried a bunch of things. Rebooting, using cellular data instead of WiFi, closing the mail app and opening it again. Nothing fixed it. The root cause seems to have been low power mode. Her battery was low; so the phone was in low power mode. I plugged it in, took it out of low power mode, and poof! Mail connects just fine.

This is reproducible. If I go to low power mode and pull down on the screen to try to fetch, no imap. It just spins saying “connecting.” Come out of low power mode, imap is fine and fast. One thing we both do that is not the default is fetch email. The default is to push, and the phone polls quite often. I figure that’s a waste of battery, so we have ours set to fetch every 30 minutes. I’m a bit of a nut, so there are probably LOTS of other things that are not the default.

Anybody have any ideas?

I’m sure all of us have used low power mode before, and I’m fairly sure I’ve checked email under low power mode. I’ve never seen this before. #selfhosting

So to test this out, i put my phone in low power mode. Since i don’t do that often, i got this warning. It says “mail fetch…is disabled” which i expect for BACKGROUND fetching. But if I’m in the mail app asking it to check my mail right now, I don’t see why it should refuse. It will play audio books, videos, and many things that take more power than IMAP when it is in low power mode. That’s so bizarre.

I am so glad I upgraded last year! 😆

@gamingonlinux Does this mean that I'll finally be able to play #StardewValley on my #iPhone or #iPad with mods?

IOS 18.4 has serious touch detection problems especially in mail. Tapping is often undetected making mail unusable. Now it’s a problem in other apps. Seems iPhone only.

I can’t get #Apple #Health to measure my cardio fitness, even with 20 minute workouts etc. It hasn’t updated since December. Anyone else having issues? #ios #iphone #applewatch

I'm thinking of getting an #iPhone 11 to hold me over until #Apple completes Siri Intelligence features. I feel like iPhone 16, 17 and potentially 18 are gonna be outdated quite fast.

My stress level was much lower this week than it was last week. The difference was that I swapped my #iPhone out for my Light Phone. No feeds, ads, AI suggestions, social media, apps, or room for #enshittification.

#lightphone #dumbphone #minimalist

@ACuppaTea I’ve thought about getting one but I think I’m just going to strip down the #iphone. I really wanted an iPhone mini, so I may look for one of those for when I need a detox.

I just dropped off my phone at a random guy's house for him to repair my charging port.

As an elder millennial, meeting strangers off the internet in the 90s was strange but kinda normal for kids our age.

Kinda felt like that today after searching for local phone repair. Just a dude in his home fixing phones.

He's only gonna find cute photos of my kid and an awesome gallery of action figures. Maybe a sad collection of fitness apps that were never opened...
