Phones are like πŸ’» now. The year-to-year improvements are tiny. Some factors related to this –

At least for folks like me who sometimes read re chips, chip improvements are πŸ‘. But big year-to-year improvements are probably hard. If it was easy, Apple or Qualcomm may have already made a chip that was 2 or 3 times faster than the old 1.

So hard to have a clean implementation of under-screen cam and face recognition sensors. Hence, hole punch. Samsung fold has an under-screen front cam but the implemention wasn't clean and the pic quality is below average.

So hard to make a πŸ”‹ that's 2 or 3 times better than the old πŸ”‹. The tech world has been so hungry for a πŸ”‹ innovation for a long time. There was optimism re graphene. Idk if it'll succeed in mass production.

Is this the word firms use to kinda hide their error, which was moving to the cloud?

Bypass short links (lemmy.world)

I use Firefox on Android 11 and Windows 11. What's the best way to bypass short links and sites that make us await a certain period of time (say, 10 seconds) before proceeding? Is it Violentmonkey + Bypass all shortlinks (debloated)?

A traditional soldering iron in my nation costs about PHP 450 (about USD 7.95). The portability, accelerometer, temp control, easy repair and the ability to solder while charging a phone are πŸ‘, but USD 250 is so high.

Wanna share some of my thoughts re this. I don't wanna write a very long essay, so here are just 5 items –

  1. I agree that 1 swipe down should let us alter the brightness.

  2. I'm OK with no sun icon in the brightness slider. I'll know that it's brightness even without any icon. But some may have a hard time, so adding an icon will be more user-friendly for them.

  3. Obviously Nothing didn't wanna overuse their dot matrix design. I side with Nothing on this 1. Putting it all over the os will be πŸ‘Ž for me. But beauty is subjective. Some may want the dot matrix design all over the os.

Carl Pei probably thought re the folks switching from a different Android phone or an iPhone to a Nothing phone. He probably wants the process to be as smooth as possible so the user will be satisfied. So he didn't use the dot matrix design on the icons. He said something related to this. Changing many things fast versus changing some things gradually. He said Nothing couldn't be overeager to alter stuff.

  1. Re the phone and messages apps, I wonder whether Nothing wanted the users to use the Google apps for these or Nothing is making their own now and will release those in the future. Is it so hard to make a phone app and a messages app?

  2. I agree that Google photos is not for everyone.

Some don't wanna have a Google account.

Google photos is cloud-storage-focused, not local-storage-focused. Some want a local-storage-focused gallery app.

Its search doesn't work offline. Some need a gallery app that works offline.

Revolutionary. Props to Youtube.

I guess Alphabet was the 1st to have the auto-generated English subtitle feature? I think Youtube is the only 1 that has Filipino now. Windows 11 and Samsung oneui have the auto-generated English subtitle feature now. I hope they'll have Filipino.

Sponsorblock's been epic! Props to the coder and the contributors.

Speaking of Jollibee, I'm so :) that their patty steak with 🍚 is still 60 and tuna pie still 50. And they have mix and match. Of course there are many karinderia that sell cheap food, but when I want cheap fastfood, I'm so :) there's Jollibee.

Why is Firefox getting involved in ads? πŸ’΅? To reduce their dependence on Google's payment for keeping Google as the default search engine?

Just strive and you'll reach your goal. :)

I wanted to know which Bluetooth earphones have the best mic. I found a Youtube vid. The Youtuber said the Nothing ear 2 have the best mic. Then I viewed Mike O'Brien's Nothing ear 2 review. πŸ‘ mic, per his review.

The Nothing ear 2 are about β‚± 8200 on Shopee and Lazada and about β‚± 5900 on amazon.co.jp. :o

I hope Nothing will offer that 5900 deal here.

I get you. Studying can be hard if you're aiming for very high grades or the school is giving you a lot of homework or projects. My college life was tiring too. I had many nights with 0 or little πŸ’€, in contrast to my work where I had 1 sleepless night only. (I observed that my face was oilier when I had 0 πŸ’€ compared to normal πŸ’€.) Instant β˜• was my pal. In college I was so busy studying that I didn't have time for organizations.

Please up your confidence re your intelligence. Humans are learners. It's OK to take time in digesting a hard topic and to err sometimes. Please think re the future. The path is uphill. You'll improve. You'll be smarter.

Real estate investment scam. I wonder if Coffeezilla is working on it.

That Bill Burr clip was πŸ‘. Dogpack has πŸ‘ taste.

Exfat if you wanna use your usb drive on Macos or Linux.

I have Windows so I'm OK with Ntfs.

[–] [email protected] 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 weeks ago) (2 children)

About 10 years ago, my usb drive was Fat32 by default. I changed it to Ntfs due to Fat32's 4-GB cap, which I've disliked. I'm still using Ntfs.

 

Some Intel 13th and 14th gen desktop processors have been failing. It's big news.

Per Intel, the root causes for the 13th gen are excessive voltage and oxidation issue. The root cause for the 14th gen is excessive voltage. They'll release a patch to fix the voltage issue. The oxidation is a manufacturing issue so it's a big deal. Can't be fixed with any software update. Intel's statement lacked details. They didn't say which specific processors are problematic and the specific batches of processors with the oxidation issue. Their statement re the oxidation had a contradiction. This is just Intel's statement and this whole thing may be bigger than what it seems.

I'm wondering if there are many Filipinos experiencing failures. I guess πŸ’» is more famous than desktop in πŸ‡΅πŸ‡­, but there are Filipino desktop enthusiasts. Anyone here who had a failure?

Dave said that the Ally (not Ally x) was too cheap, maybe. Maybe Asus didn't include the cost of customer help in it. Hence the warranty issues.

I'm not convinced. Asus is a big firm. If they mistakenly made the Ally too cheap, they could eat the cost of customer help. It's just right to provide πŸ‘ warranty service. And the Ally is their 1st handheld. They wanted to build a πŸ‘ reputation. Also, other Asus items had warranty issues. They must fix their internal process.

It's a long vid. I suggest prepping your fav drink before viewing.

It's re Nvidia's new gpu architecture for ai, NVlink switch, RAS diagnostics and other Nvidia announcements.

Nvidia knows it's the star of the backbone of the current ai boom and seems to be going full steam. I'm hoping for more innovations on tools for ai and gaming in the future.
