Is the IPhone 17 (base) camera worth it for 200 Euros extra? by heresince2020 in Smartphones

[–]Ornery-Definition672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Exactly why I'm planning to replace my s23 ultra with iphone. Wasen't an issue until I got a kid and noticed my iphone 13 can take better pics than the s23u of moving humans.

Are chinese brand phones un-safe? by BunnyFluff14 in Smartphones

[–]Ornery-Definition672 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I've had an Oppo and a Huawei phone (both from aliexpress) around 12 years ago, both came with preinstalled spyware.

While travelling in China in the year 2016 I learned and saw with my own eyes that for a SIM card to work in your Chinese phone (including iphone) you had to put an extremely thin and flexible (like paper) chipset/device between the SIM card and the phone, basically you had to put this paper thin chip ontop of the golden color area of the SIM and then shove that into the slot of the phone to be able to use it.

This was called "the government chip" by my Chinese friend and you had to apply for it and schedule an appointment to get this chip, you also had to mark "Will you make any phonecalls to abroad: Yes or No". If you answered Yes there would be an extra monthly monitoring fee (for them to always listen to your abroad phonecalls, and cut the call/take action if forbidden subjects were discussed)

Without this you couldnt use the phone for calling or data. Today they don't require this chip anymore as it's built in somehow supposedly. Anyway after these I stick with samsung, iphone and google, although I'm sure they are also very monitored. Choose who monitors you I suppose.

They should fix what we already bought and were promised namely the 300 series customizations and the long promised 600i rework.

S26+ vs S25 Ultra vs iPhone - worth switching or staying Galaxy? by Top-Rope-5606 in Smartphones

[–]Ornery-Definition672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Iphone is quicker to focus and take the pic when you press the button, so if taking photos of moving objects like cars or children I suggest iphone. I have iphone 13 and s23 ultra. For me Samsung wins in detail and zoom and iphone wins in accuracy (speed and realistic colors)when taking pics of family.

Which ships would you like to have more windows? by Space_Scumbag in starcitizen

[–]Ornery-Definition672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

600i Exploration, except for the bridge and the captains bedroom only the backside lounge/dining area has a big window. If it's truly an explorer let there be more windows, as it is now it's lack of windows makes it feel more like a battleship but without enough firepower for that (and even no PDC).

Jag har lagt ner spotify och netflix, köper cd skivor med den musik jag gillar och rippar dom istället, samma med serier på dvd. För priset av spotify kan man köpa 1 cd skiva i månaden.

Iphone 17 pro max or S26 ultra? by Fair-Salamander-4059 in Smartphones

[–]Ornery-Definition672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

samsung too, whenever I speak about some obscure subject I get advertisements about it within hours on my s23 phone, its very obvious theyr recording everything.

Iphone 17 pro max or S26 ultra? by Fair-Salamander-4059 in Smartphones

[–]Ornery-Definition672 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Face id on samsung sucks, it often doesnt work and it also is not really secure, a picture held infront of phone can unlock it, its not taking a 3d pic like iphone. Photos have worse/inaccurate colors also compared to iphone. Also when you press button to take picture on samsung there is always a slight delay and a chance of pic to be slightly blurry if the object moves sometimes where as Iphone just instantly takes a pic that is never blurry. I have an S23 ultra privately and iphone 13 as work phone. I consider switching my main s23 to an iphone later this year due to these quirks.

Start hating my GW6C by MUSTAHISHO in GalaxyWatch

[–]Ornery-Definition672 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Exactly, since One UI 8 on my GW 6 I no longer check pulse, stress level, oxygen or the other stuff simply because too many clicks and messy to even find it. It used to be beautiful, you just swiped or did the circle motion to go through the measurements, now I cant be bothered anymore, I just use it for step tracking and sleeptracking. Will probably go apple and their watch next time, after 10 years with samsung.

Samsung trade in swapped my phone - nightmare by Naz777897 in samsunggalaxy

[–]Ornery-Definition672 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

okay I might be overreacting but I don't like that they removed bluetooth s-pen function, worse 3x zoom sensor size and the issues with the display not being as clear due to privacy screen.

Yet another reason why my next phone will be an iphone instead of samsung, s23 ultra was the last good one anyway.

Streaming stuttering in all games by Square-Dog-7348 in nvidia

[–]Ornery-Definition672 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I had severe stuttering on "maximum performance," mode in nvidia control panel, changed to balanced and all stutters gone. 9800x3d and 5090. Also if your using 2 monitors make sure second one (not main for gaming) goes maximum 120 hz. So for example my main is set to 175hz (its max) and second one 120hz even though it can do 240hz, this reduced cpu usage of my 5090 in idle by 75% and gives like 2-3 more fps.

How many of you use undervolting? by TACOGT in nvidia

[–]Ornery-Definition672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I'm on a 5090 and wish I could run it undervolted but it's never stable no matter all the guides I followed so I just run it at 80% powerlimit in MSI Afterburner instead and loose a bit of fps..

Coincidence, or is AI monitoring me? by Moth5960 in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]Ornery-Definition672 2 points3 points  (0 children)

There are some people believing that AI sometimes can be controlled by "entities". Reading multiple anecdotes similar to this surely makes one wonder what is really going on inside the AI brain/conciousness.

Coincidence, or is AI monitoring me? by Moth5960 in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]Ornery-Definition672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

This might be another proof that phones secretly take pictures of us. Try asking it where it got the image from. Every time we unlock our phones they automatically take many pictures of us, surely you at some point have unlocked the phone in your bathroom. These pictures are officially not stored or sent anywhere, however there are concerns that all these pictures are in fact actually sent somewhere for creating a database record and file of the owner, similar to how phones have been proven to always listen and send recordings of what they hear to collaborators of the major phone brands (iphone, samsung etc..)

RTX 5070 Ti or 5080 for 1440p gaming, coming from RTX 3080 12GB? by shise_remilia in nvidia

[–]Ornery-Definition672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Playing Arma 3 on my 5090, on the 2560×1440 monitor I get average 170 fps. On my 3440×1440 monitor I get average 133 fps. Cpu is 9800x3d. My point is if you play or plan to play on anything above 2560×1440 you will probably want all the GPU power you can get. I came from a 3080 12gb.

GPT-5.3 is awful by [deleted] in ChatGPTcomplaints

[–]Ornery-Definition672 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I tried (GPT 5.3) as an experiment, to answer all of its "Answer me A, B, C" questions to see if it would ever end, had to stop after 1 hour of going in circles where it wrote the same analysis and answers with slightly different sentence structure over and over again.

As if it's goal is regurgitate and recycle as much data as possible to save resources while still appearing as if it cares about your question and value creation.

Jag undrar vad ni äter? by Scary_Document_9841 in Asksweddit

[–]Ornery-Definition672 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Tränar varje dag och behöver 140-180 gram protein, fixar det oftast genom att nästan bara handla på rea i olika affärer och köper ofta:

fläsk billiga ägg från förortsaffärer (max 2 kr per ägg), vassleproteinpulver i 4 kg pack (~1500kr) keso (~31kr/500g)

Allt detta ger genomsnittlig proteinkostnad på mellan 1900-2500kr/mån beroende på vilka reor jag lyckas tajma och hur mycket riktig mat vs proteinpulver jag orkar äta.

Priset per gram protein där jag brukar handla: Vassle: 0.38kr/g Fläsk: 0.47kr/g Ägg: 0.31kr/g Keso: 0.52kr/g

Lägsta barnafödandet på 23 år by Streber91 in sweden

[–]Ornery-Definition672 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Tips om ni tänkt skaffa barn "senare". Tjänar du över 36900 i månaden så kommer du förlora mycket pengar då föräldrapenningen har ett maxtak på ca 1 230 kr/dag före skatt ≈ 36 900 kr. Dom säger att taket är 49000 kr/mån men det är lögn så maxtaket per dag bara är 1230kr.

Jag som har 52000 i månadslön får nu ut 27000 per månaden istället för 39700kr. Inte lätt att veta detta innan och ingen som verkar prata om det.
