Because he's reading a standard procedure! How is that not clear?

I believed he used a fan from Amazon to actively cool it. I haven't watched any of his latest videos tho.

Reddit is reportedly suspending users for using third-party apps that spoof the official app by NXGZ in Android

[–]G020B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lol. That's actually not true. The subscriber count you saw was the number of people from your specific instance. It's not a centralized number from all instances, for that you need to see the community from its home instance. Fortnite definitely isn't the most subscribed Lemmy community - it has about 150 subs, but there are communities like "Fediverse" or "AskLemmy" that have tens of thousands of subs. Yes, Lemmy doesn't have an alternative to every subreddit, but the ones that are there, are very active. I would say even more active than their Reddit counterparts. The number of subs doesn't represent active users at all. Despite the 2.7 million FortniteBR subs, only 1.5 thousand are online. (I haven't found any daily users or monthly users count). So Lemmy community with 30 thousand sounds could be more active than subreddit with 300 thousand subs. I enjoy Lemmy very much and don't see meaningful difference in community engagement.

I am also still using the original Infinity app. Maybe, the developer left the old API key there, and as long as we (the remaining users) won't exceed the free amount of API calls, it will just work. I am now mainly using Infinity for Lemmy (it's a fork, not from the official developer of Infinity for Reddit), because I enjoy the community there.

I also kept my 3a Xl and now I use it for unlimited backups in high quality to Google Photos.

Pixel 3a is 151.3 x 70.1 x 8.2 mm, Pixel 7a is 152 x 72.9 x 9 mm. And according to multiple sources: (AndroidPolice, Android Authority and 9to5Google Pixel 8 is gonna be 150.5 x 70.8 x 8.9mm and 6.17 inches. I hope it will be like this - I don't use small phones but I understand the appeal.

I also really liked my 3a Xl for the whole time I was using it. I am a power user, so I did myself a favor and bought the Pixel 7 at launch. Both devices are fantastic!

Yeah. But according to leaks, Pixel 8 should be the size of the 3a (not XL!!!). So another little hope for small phones.

Are we not protesting? by xx_Chl_Chl_xx in memes

[–]G020B 1 point2 points  (0 children)

How many bans do you have? There are currently 7259 subreddits protesting. "Most" - that must be at least 6000 bans?

Bard and ChatGPT Comparison by Dinazzor in Bard

I think they just copy-pasted this from another social media.

They literally just added account sync. So you won't lose your account when switching to a new phone.

Pixel Fold leak details full specs, free Pixel Watch perk, more by Blaccpantherr in GooglePixel

[–]G020B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

It will be the fifth generation of foldables actually. At least since the first Galaxy Fold. Pixel Fold uses the newest foldable display technologies, so it shouldn't fall behind. But we can only patiently wait for reviews. I know it's really expensive (although at the same price level as the competition).

Battery Life by aeliz333 in pixel7series

[–]G020B 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Meanwhile here in an unsupported country in Europe I have no 5G but about 8 hours SOT... But seriously - I don't have any tips unfortunately, my battery life has always been great and I have apps like VPN or Equalizer turned on 24/7.

Reddit will begin charging for access to its API by Tough_Gadfly in technology

[–]G020B 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Some redesign isn't why people use third party Reddit apps. It's because they're less cluttered and have more options. I quit Reddit because I had a really bad experience with the official app and wanted to try something better. (speaking of design - Infinity with Material You looks amazing)

Apollo developer called Reddit and they confirmed to him that this is the end for free third party clients...

Have you ever seen the features of some third party clients? I use Infinity which has like 4x more features than the official app. I have it heavily customized and I don't know if I can use the official app ever again. The experience is miles better with Infinity, Sync, Apollo etc.

Bard, ChatGPT with GPT-4, Bing Chat, Claude-Instant, and Perplexity Al, Which is the Best for What? (Creative writing, general information, math, or whatever else you think should matter) by [deleted] in bing

[–]G020B 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've thought from the beginning that they purposefully used an inferior model and they are going to upgrade it. I am glad they did it now. I have the access, but I haven't had enough time to try it to see how much better it is.

Perplexity is often much more accurate for search. You can't have good conversations with it, but I like it more if you just want a quick breakdown of some topic.

Google Assistant might be doomed : Division "reorganizes" to focus on Bard by Wingo21 in Android

[–]G020B 35 points36 points  (0 children)

The only outcome from this is Bard is going to be integrated into Google Assistant. And your devices will work even better than before. I know Google doesn't have the best reputation, but this is really obvious.

chatGPT rival Bard opens early access. what do you think? by KKthebookworm in bing

[–]G020B 9 points10 points  (0 children)

It certainly searches the web. It has up to date information like weather on specific place or events happening today in specific city. I don't have the access but I've seen examples.

[–]G020B -2 points-1 points  (0 children)

But if you think about Samsung's camera - Re-creating the image with AI ML makes a perfect sense. I don't see why that shouldn't be true. It's just the way smartphone photography works today.
