ULTRAHUMAN RING AIR: A LOVE-HATE RELATIONSHIP

It has been over 9 months since I bought the Ultrahuman Ring Air, purchased back
in February 2024. To be honest, my relationship with this smart ring has been a
roller coaster ride of love and frustration. On one hand, there’s much to
appreciate about its sleek design and the wealth of data it provides. On the
other hand, persistent technical issues and reliability problems have left me
questioning whether the good outweighs the bad. ...

BLOCKCHAIN AND BUZZWORDS EXPLAINED

A blockchain may be considered as a digital database, since it saves data
digitally. Due to the immutability of blockchain data, it has the potential to
revolutionize fields such as finance, security, and medicine. These are just few
which are noted here. Overview To begin with, Let’s define blockchain technology
first. Using decentralization and cryptographic hashing techniques, blockchain
technology, also known as distributed ledger technology (DLT), ensures that the
transaction history of any digital asset cannot be altered and is completely
visible. ...

DISSECTING ANDROID APPS

Openness of Android makes it very delicious target for the exploiters, reverse
engineers. Android offers a very nice advantages for malicious actors which are
not available in compare to its rival iOS. It is possible to peek into the
source code when it comes to Android (Yes, I am talking about AOSP) and modify
the OS and all the things come along according to your taste. Even in retail
devices, It is possible to tamper with the system without much hassle and
headache. ...

THE DESIGN THINKING

Overview The design thinking in a nutshell is the practice of thinking like a
designer. It is also considering user desirability, technical feasibility, and
commercial viability. All these technical terms might overwhelm you, But once
you get a hang of it, It is easy to follow along. The design thinking processes
follow a simple format Empathize with your users. Define user needs and
problems. Ideate solutions. Prototype your ideas. Test your prototypes. Build
the ideas that work. Once you nail down all these steps in order, it is
straightforward to create meaningful designs with better user experience. But do
not rigidly follow all these rules. You can always be creative. Although, be
careful while riding on a wild creative motorcycle. It should never affect user
experience. ...

GLOBAL COROUTINE SCOPE IS SCARY

Overview Using suspend methods with coroutines is a new norm while using Kotlin
in Android, Kotlin Native or Kotlin Multiplatform. Recently, I have been
searching good libraries for the multiplatform for a pet project I am working
on, and I have seen many libraries and implementations that uses GlobalScope as
coroutine scope. This is a huge antipattern because using GlobalScope can lead
to memory leaks. Problem with GlobalScope Though in Android, using suspend
methods is fairly easy because you can just use viewModelScope because most of
the heavy lifting is being done inside viewmodels. So, No need to switch to
CoroutineScope. But occasionally, there is a need for asynchronous work outside
ViewModel. A common example of it would be an external SDK in your codebase may
require an instance of a class performing module specific or app related tasks.
