Thanks, good to know. That’s the same JS engine.

That’s interesting, the honor 6 lite should be 20-30% faster than my old A72. Noticeable but not a lot. Maybe it’s the Firefox browser I’m still clinging to, and I should finally give in and change to Google Chrome.

How modern is your phone? Anubis is killing my old Samsung A72 from 2020 - long waits, draining battery. On the laptop it’s less of an annoyance, I’ve got the laptop connected to mains anyway and it is fast enough.

This is a sample of a much faster anubis solver (end user facing).

There’s versions. of this for people running bot networks - it’s just a few cheap cloud cpu cycles to invest. Proof of work is an ineffective defense against spam in the age of cheap and scalable cloud compute - and even moreso if the botnet runs on residential proxies.

My point is, the slowdown is NOT making random scraping uneconomical anymore, it does hurt legitimate users a lot more.

I’m even more annoyed by anubis. Letting me wait in the browser for an enternity for some check that a bot with a native implementation can solve in milliseconds.

Proof of work my ass.

Firewire also has a “small” version of the plug, I used it to copy my old DV tapes to the computer last year. (Finally, probably just in time before my old 2010 desktop PC kicks the bucket). Cameras hat the small version, it looks a bit similar to the old Mini USB.

On the other hand, it has 8GB of RAM in it, that is something in 2026.

Oh nooo the robot was blinded by traffic lights says the company.

WHAT THE ACTUAL FUCK.
