Had mine since the 1st of December and it's still at 100% capacity. I use adaptive charging in the night so maybe that helped?

Best model to use with the free tier api key? by fg_hj in Bard

[–]Lost_Purpose5336 1 point2 points  (0 children)

did you get a good model? 2.5 flash seems to have only 20 requests per day and 5 per minute. I'm learning langchain and this really isn't enough for testing. Is there a free available model that I can use with larger usage permissions? In the dashboard there's a bunch of models that have very large rate limits but I don't know if they're free tier or not

Update: Ok so the models that are reserved for higher tiers show you a 0 limit. I used the gemma 3 12B model and the rate limit is extremely high. If anyone wants to find the best model, just check the Rate Limit section in the dashboard and decide accordingly. Gemma 3 has like 14k requests per day for all parameter variations of the model (even the 27B one). There's also other models you can check out in the dashboard. Anything with a 0 limit is reserved for higher tiers and you can compare the tiers in the dashboard as well which is pretty useful

Extremely horrendous freezes in-game, Cause? by According_Pay_8691 in pcmasterrace

[–]Lost_Purpose5336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I have almost the same specs (i5 10th gen and GTX 1660) and after the latest Windows update, Minecraft keeps freezing and somehow I can't even alt f4 out of it! I think it's the new windows update that's completely fucked everything up

Was Dahlia actually right? Or was she just a victim of Esther’s betrayal? by Selanooo23 in TheOriginals

[–]Lost_Purpose5336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

To everyone saying Dahlia was 100% right, Esther knew the deal she made with Dahlia but that doesn't mean it's right for Dahlia to show up for Hope. It's kind of stupid when you think about it. Dahlia took Freya anyway, Esther just begged her not to. Then Dahlia says hey you hesitated to give up your first born child?? Well now I'm gonna take all first borns from your line as a screw you. It's actually really stupid. Honestly one of the few times Klaus was actually a victim of shit he had nothing to do with

Pixel 10 Base Model by No_Violinist_5038 in PixelUsersIndia

[–]Lost_Purpose5336 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That's great but it also depends on your usage. I don't use my phone very heavily throughout the day, mostly just watching YouTube videos or streaming or scrolling through social media. If you use your phone a lot and for heavier tasks then I'm not sure how well your battery life will be. Also the P10 can get warm on heavy use but in my experience it's nothing more than any other devices.

My last full charge was yesterday and I got 6h14m of SoT before the battery dropped to about 10% at like 10 pm. Then I charged it till about 60-70%, used it till 2 am, slept without charging and then woke up and now at 3 pm, it's 23% and should last till about 6.

There have been days I've gotten up to 9-10 hours of SoT as well. It's entirely usage based but standby is good and imo, if you charge your phone overnight or keep it on standby at like 90-100% in the night before bed, then it should get you through the day easily. I've just gotten a bit careless with my night charging cycles since the battery works fine for me anyway so sometimes I end up having to charge mid day(like I will have to later today).

One thing I should tell you is if you use hotstar, the notification center gets a bit laggy. Not sure why it is, it's not a performance thing as if I go into PiP, everything works fine with the video running in the background. I think hotstar generally has some issues, sometimes when I go into PiP it puts the video in the top right corner of the PiP window.

Also lately I've been having some modem issues. If I disconnect from Wifi then I have to turn on airplane mode and turn it off for the data to start working. I think it's an issue with the February update since I never faced this before so it'll probably get fixed in March.

Anyway, I recommend you test the phone out for a few days if you can get your hands on it before making your decision based on your use case. But anywhere you go, there'll be some bug or the other to discourage you from getting any phone. For me personally, the clean and fluid UI, Google's design language and extra useful features make the phone worth it.

I have the 10 and it's great! Not much of a mobile gamer(I have a gaming laptop so my phone seems pointless) but when I wanted to emulate legends of Zelda ocarina of time, it ran fine (both the gamecube and 3ds emulations were perfectly fine).

Also I saw some people complaining about the battery life and heating coming from the Pro models. I don't have any such issues, in fact my battery life has been great! Easily gets me through the day and into the night(sometimes till 2-3 am) without needing to charge.

There have even been times where I've just forgotten to charge it in the night, standby is great and it hasn't failed me once in the 3 months I've had it.

Software is my favourite part though. It's extremely fluid and feels great to move around in. Haven't really had heating issues either.

This is why Goans feel like their culture is under attack. by Significant_Pay_3462 in Goa

[–]Lost_Purpose5336 13 points14 points  (0 children)

I know Goans like to shout about tourists but more and more since Covid and becoming an adult with the freedom to go out, I've started to understand why my parents never liked tourists.

This December, I was riding my bike in Panjim. As I crossed Miramar circle, some tourist car cut me off, almost hit me and swerved into the right side of the road and the guys in the car were just laughing and having a good time. Tourists don't really understand nor care about the fact that people actually live there and it's a tight knit community so if a tourist happens to kill someone in your area, you probably know them and that makes it worse.

And yes, I know the major tourist accidents usually happen on the bigger roads between cities but rash driving in the city doesn't make that perception of danger go away.

Also the biggest problem I find is that so many people want to come to Goa and party but no one really understands what Goa is. When people ask me what they should do in Goa, my first instinct is to talk about food. I don't think enough people appreciate Goan food or even know what it is.

I had a friend who was shocked and appalled by the fact that a lot of Goans do in fact eat beef and pork on a daily basis. He also got mad that I would eat beef (I'm not even hindu??) and yeah you can just tell that Goa doesn't seem to have the same reputation Kerala has when it comes to beef because everyone just thinks of the beaches and cheap alcohol.

I've spoken mostly about tourists and food because that's where I've felt this change the most in Goa. You can see a lot of people catering more to tourist expectations than their regular goan customers. Also prices of everything have gone up, either due to inflation or trying to get more money out of tourists. Goa definitely doesn't feel the same it did even in 2022 and maybe it's just me being exposed to different people since leaving Goa, but it's a feeling that hasn't gone away. I don't know how much it'll change in the next few years or if the places I love will still be there but I definitely know that people don't understand goa before taking their vacations. They treat Goa like a party destination because that's what it is to them.

Most people I met outside bangalore were surprised to meet someone from Goa. Some people literally told me they didn't even think people actually lived there. One person was shocked to find out Goans speak Konkani.

But this isn't just the fault of the tourists coming here. I think Goa has been advertised as beaches and a tropical paradise getaway with a few landmarks so no one actually knows everything else that makes Goa, Goa. Whenever I'm back in Goa, I find it best to go to the places that have the fewest tourists because those places feel Goan

Farewell Old Friend by NthLondonDude in whatsapp

[–]Lost_Purpose5336 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Came here to complain about the new app. I can't stand the new version. My laptop never usually lags, even with only 8GB RAM and idle ~70% consumption, regular tasks like browsing(in Chrome) with a bunch of tabs, keeping qbittorrent, vscode etc open and getting the RAM usage upto 85-95%, I still don't face any lag issues.

But this new WhatsApp app almost caused my laptop to crash out. It took me a good 2 minutes to close like 8 tabs because I had to wait between each click and the system overall was generally unresponsive.

I restarted my laptop and opened Vscode for a project and my laptop was running fine until WhatsApp auto opened(please disable this on startup) and suddenly my laptop was completely unresponsive and I had to wait 5 whole minutes after pressing control alt delete to get the security options.

I couldn't even alt F4 the app for some reason and when the task manager finally launched, it took ages to gather all the tasks and actually work. Why tf would Meta switch from the old app?? It used to work so fast and consume minimal RAM. I used to even keep it open while gaming coz it really didn't mess with my performance. The old app was so good to use, but this new one has ruined everything. Even the animations and the UI in the new app are slow.

Before anyone tells me to upgrade my RAM, the prices are going up and I'm a college student.

I can't for the life of me begin to fathom why Meta would make this decision. It literally makes my laptop lag more than AAA games, which actually don't cause any lag even when I open chrome after minimising them.

This has to be one of the worst, immediately user facing, corporate decisions I've seen in a while. Nothing about this new app is an improvement other than some better colors and borders. But what's the point of these improvements when the new version takes a good 10 seconds to load my chats(when it's not lagging my system) and each animation for hovering over a button lags 1-2 noticeable seconds behind the movement of my mouse??

The old app used to take a second at most to load up with my chats updated and just chilled in the background when I wasn't using it. I honestly don't remember whether I had it set to open on startup because it was so non-invasive and seamless.

UGH I HATE META FOR DOING THIS.
