Very interesting experiment. Thanks for sharing! Maybe I’ll find some time to run the benchmarks on my Pixel 7 in the upcoming days.

I absolutely love the videos on this channel, this one being one of the best published yet. I’m literally blown away by the level of detail and clarity. I think I’m going to watch it more one time…

You are only starting to think that NOW?

Hey, I’ve been really careful with my words to NOT say that. I was just wondering and I acknowledge that it might be nonsense.

US has a huge influence on the entire world. Could it be that it started (or got amplified) in the US due to poor healthcare and then spread out to the rest of the world? I’m not trying to put all the blame on US of course, but it doesn’t sound that unreasonable that it could be partially responsible.

I’m pretty sure I have aphantasia. My mom, on the other hand, is an artist with very powerful imagination. She would often tell me how she sees something she’s imagining and I never really knew what she meant. I just assumed that it’s kinda a figure of speech. Only when I first read about aphantasia I realized that it probably really works completely differently for her.

I would like to know whether aphantasia has any practical impact on one’s life. For example, I had this suspicion that differences in my “mental image processing pipeline” might be a factor in my terrible driving skills. Quick visual assessment of the traffic situation, at an intersection for instance, is very hard for me. This is just me making stuff up though, no idea if it makes any sense. In fact, I think I’m going to research this topic and look for some papers now!

I’m exactly the same! Nice to know I’m not the only one.

In all seriousness, once you’re of age the exact number rarely matters and isn’t often used so I’m more surprised people actually remember it.

I was sure I’m getting baited when I clicked the link but it’s one of the rare cases when it actually turned out not to be a clickbait.

This feature literally found and isolated “important files” and now they are deleting those files. Just because it was never available in the US doesn’t mean it’s irrelevant.

Yeah, so basically Google invented a feature that finds your important files and deletes them. The future is here!

Of course I’m exaggerating for humoristic effect but in all seriousness I think the whole action is extremely poorly executed. I would be surprised if there weren’t some cases of people actually losing something important because of this.

Wait, so Google just moved around important users’ files on their devices without being asked to do so. And now they decided to just delete those files together with the feature? This sounds pretty crazy, even for Google.

leap forwards in tech

It’s a shitty smartphone without a screen.

It doesn’t. I would really like that too…

I see. For me it’s mostly programming stuff. As long as the issue in question isn’t very obscure then DuckDuckGo is doing fine. However, if it’s mentioned in a single 5 year old GitHub issue then Google is pretty much the only chance to find it in my experience.

I’m seeing comments like this all the time and I’m always baffled. I’m using DuckDuckGo as a main search engine but I have to fall back to Google quite often because DuckDuckGo is just worse for me. And any other search engine I tried was even worse that that. It’s true that Google results don’t feel as accurate as they used to, but I genuinely haven’t found better alternatives. What do you recommend?

Is your dock powered by your laptop? I didn’t even know this was possible, all docks I’ve seen have their own power supply and actually offer PD to the connected device, not the other way around.

Well, this looks just stunning, I’m going to use it on the desktop for sure. Thanks!

Sadly, none of this matters for most of the users.

Exactly this! I hate shorts…
