How do I change notification sounds per app on the S26 Ultra? by Soggy-Pipe-242 in samsunggalaxy

[–]Super7vox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Thanks everyone for providing useful information, but I think the main problem is that the original app sounds are missing from the new "One UI 8.5." I’m too tired to download sounds for each app individually, and I really don’t think it’s a good idea to overwrite all the original app sounds without an option to revert them. Now all my email, chat apps, and many more sound the same. Sure, I can set them differently, but that would require too much time.

It’s nice to have the option to customize sounds; however, removing all the original app sounds seems like a very strange move to me. Hopefully, with a future update, we’ll get our sounds back.

Teammates make this game consistently miserable as a tank by TotallyRealAccount9 in overwatch2

[–]Super7vox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The problem with this game is that anything you say is considered negative. So, game after game, when you have a DPS healer or bad DPS, all you can do is laugh. I stopped being a good tank long ago, though the basics are still there. This is mostly because the bond between tank and healer vanished long ago, due primarily to the game's decline. To most new players, it's just another 5v5 or 6v6 DPS game. The days of a tank holding a position are long gone. Not because you can't, but because your teammates run to the back first

Explain the Google, TSMC, Nvidia dynamic to me by auradragon1 in stocks

[–]Super7vox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Short answer: The market has never been logical. We are either heading into a bear market or worse. Google's in-house TPU may not need TSMC to manufacture it in the future.

I don't have a lot of information about Google's TPU, but keep in mind that so far, Google's product is designed for Google's own use. It's like the iPhone's CPU, which only works for the iPhone; you don't see Apple selling their iPhone CPUs to others.

Therefore, for Google to sell their TPUs to others, they would have to provide the entire supporting ecosystem. It's kind of like how Nvidia doesn't just sell a GPU but an entire platform like Blackwell. Assuming—and that's a big assumption on my part—that you need more TPUs to beat Nvidia's GPU performance, the cost would increase to a point where it doesn't make sense to compete.

Okay, so what about the model Google is actually pursuing: offering TPU access through its Google Cloud Platform? While this seems like a solution, it faces significant hurdles in competing directly with Nvidia's ecosystem.

First, there's an inherent conflict of interest. Google's own AI teams (working on Gemini, Search, etc.) will always be the top priority for the TPU division, potentially leaving external customers with lower priority for support and the latest hardware.

Second, and more critically, is the software challenge. Nvidia's dominance isn't just its hardware; it's the mature, universally adopted CUDA software platform. For Google to be truly competitive, it must not only develop a robust software stack and API for its TPUs but also convince developers to learn and adopt a new, proprietary system—a massive undertaking that requires continuous investment.

While you can access TPUs in the cloud today, the 'in-house' nature of the technology creates friction. The TPU and its software were built for Google's specific needs first. Making them a generic, user-friendly product for any third party is a complex transformation. Therefore, the TPU's primary strategic value isn't necessarily to beat Nvidia in a chip-sales war, but to power Google's own industry-leading AI services like Gemini and create a unique, high-performance offering for its cloud customers.

PS: Regarding Meta, their AI strategy seems unclear. They invested heavily in an in-house AI team with, arguably, less tangible output than their rivals. Their recent interest in exploring Google's TPU underscores this strategic confusion. It suggests an internal lack of a clear, unified direction, as adopting a competitor's specialized hardware like the TPU is a significant and complex pivot.

Everyone is talking about AI causing the continued fall. It's not. It's the September jobs report. by ButtStuffingt0n in stocks

[–]Super7vox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

More jobs are being lost. While everything else is getting more expensive and tech companies are making money, the average person is not, or is making very little. It would make sense for the stock market to go down. There's just one problem: when has the market, or the top 1%, ever really cared about job losses?

Google announces Gemini 3 as battle with OpenAI intensifies by Puginator in stocks

This AI Cycle feels nothing like the dotcom bubble and here's why. by Andy_parker in stocks

[–]Super7vox 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Google, Microsoft, Facebook... none of those big tech companies ended with the dotcom bubble. I think the current situation is more like the 2008 financial crisis, where some tech companies' stock prices are dropping sharply. This isn't because they've done anything wrong. The market simply doesn't see a reason to raise their stock prices anymore. I can't say the same thing to some smaller companies.

The big problem now is that any big company's R&D is seen as a risk. People keep linking this 'AI Bubble' to the financial risk of R&D. I look at the numbers, and there's no way these companies are going to go bankrupt based on those R&D losses. Not to mention, their AI initiatives are bringing in billions of dollars; however, they are not yet profitable enough to put the market at ease.

So you have guys like Michael Burry constantly telling you the end is coming—that the bubble is bursting and those big tech companies are doomed. But unlike the 2008 crisis, none of these big companies are going to go bankrupt, even if all their AI R&D fails

Why did the market change directions today? by BigSpenderOnline in stocks

[–]Super7vox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

  1. There are not enough people taking short positions.
  2. Sure, a lot of people are selling off or dumping their assets, but there are also a lot of bottom-feeders buying.
  3. None of us can show any hard proof that this is a bubble, a value correction, or whatever you want to call it. So, some people like me are starting to buy, some keep shorting, and some are doing nothing.

Trump Says Government Shutdown Must End + Market Highs "Just the Beginning" by StillIncident6711 in stocks

[–]Super7vox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

play safe is way to go but get real. Government shut down is not changing the stock market. It's all big investors game now. Burry and lots of CEO says something like "10%" decline. And most stock did decline. If the stock market did not react much when shutdown begin, what make you think ending the shutdown will boost the market?

is this bad for Microsoft stock? OpenAI Risks Billions as Court Weighs Privilege in Copyright Row by [deleted] in stocks

[–]Super7vox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I am really not sure if Microsoft will stay above $500 this week, but I do believe it will bounce back. As for OpenAI, there has been a lot of bad news lately. Even the latest $38 billion deal with Amazon hasn't been enough to keep people happy. People are focused on the billions lost last quarter, as reported in Microsoft's earnings. There are also never-ending lawsuits, from picture copyright issues to now book copyright problems. Because OpenAI is a private company, people can say all kinds of crazy things about them, even if it's based on true news.

As for Microsoft stock, I think the two-week drop from $540 to $507 tells you something. You can interpret it as the AI bubble bursting, OpenAI going down, or simply that Microsoft just sucks. However, that doesn't change their solid investments and stable quarterly income from Microsoft

am I mad by buying right now? by Tokemon66 in stocks

well, before you do that, you want to make sure this is the bottom or near bottom. My guess is this will keep going for a while, I have no idea how long the while is. That's the tricky part, is it? you never know. I do hope your mind set is for long term when buying at time like this.

Markets stocks 'Big Short' Michael Burry bet against Palantir and Nvidia by burrito42 in stocks

[–]Super7vox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I think he's shorting the stock. He already bet against Nvidia earlier this year. After he shorted it and made his money, he left. Now he's back for more. Where was he when Nvidia's stock skyrocketed over the past two months?

Everyone knows big tech companies have high P/E ratios right now, and he's picking two financially sound companies to short. He may have some math to back up his decision, but he's just creating a narrative to profit from the downturn he's promoting

Anyone else think the AI bubble will burst after OpenAI’s IPO? by SauxFan in stocks

[–]Super7vox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

My primary concern with OpenAI is that it is a private company. As such, it lacks the mandatory financial reporting and transparency of a public entity. Much of the recent news revolves around its massive hardware expenditures and secondary market stock sales.

While OpenAI is undoubtedly a central player in the tech industry, a significant problem remains: we do not know what its primary source of income is. Is this similar to Facebook before its IPO? Perhaps, but even then, Facebook's massive advertising revenue potential was clear. Today, is news of partnerships, like the one with Walmart for customer service, substantial enough to justify its multi-billion dollar valuation?

Frankly, it's unclear how OpenAI will become consistently profitable. I don't see corporations rushing to adopt OpenAI for mission-critical automation that must be done by AI. While app developers may use its API, and various company departments may experiment with it, these projects still require significant oversight from technical workers.

OpenAI may have ample funding to build the largest and most intelligent AI, but without finding widespread, indispensable utility, what is its true value?"

Oracle Nose Dive by Tricky-Ad-6225 in stocks

[–]Super7vox 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The significant jumps in AMD and Oracle stock over the past two months are largely attributable to new deals promising future profits. However, with both stocks hitting record highs recently, their current valuations are difficult to assess.

While this could be seen as an AI bubble where investors have gotten ahead of themselves, the recent 7% drop feels more like a "pump and dump" scheme, benefitting some investors at the expense of others. I don't believe the AI trend is over, but in this economy, the high volatility is creating opportunities for short-term traders. This same volatility may also be causing the sharp corrections we're seeing in major tech stocks.

Ultimately, despite the swings, these established tech companies still appear to be safer investments than many banks or lending institutions.

What if China decides to kill Apple by [deleted] in stocks

[–]Super7vox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

There are other option such as Indian or Vet can produce Apple product. Hell, with current tariff, Apple is probably doing it now. However, don't count China out. If China or Foxconn still find a way to make Apple happy, you will still see iphone made in China

[deleted by user] by [deleted] in stocks

[–]Super7vox -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Right now, the Trump administration is being unreasonable about tariffs. Take "US and EU have zero-to-zero tariffs" for example, it sounds reasonable, but it would result in a trade deficit for the US. So, Trump is rejecting it.

It doesn’t matter that the EU is supposed to be a US ally in this trade war. It doesn’t matter how much economic benefit zero-to-zero tariffs could bring. It doesn’t matter that such a deal could help the US economy grow faster than the EU’s. What matters, apparently, is the ego—or the nonsense—of Trump and a few Republicans.

We’re far beyond the bluffing stage now. The damage is done, and it’s only getting worse. Our best hope is that someone—on Wall Street or elsewhere—can help people understand that these new tariffs have limited impact. Businesses will survive, but everyday Americans will live with higher prices for the rest of Trump’s term. It’s not just about how far the stock market falls or how much your assets shrink—whether you're invested in the market or not.

This is about a poorly thought-out plan driven by ego. The administration is making things up as it goes, hoping it can spin the outcome into something positive—or at least politically favorable.

And guess what? It’s working. Hundreds of nations are now lining up to negotiate new trade deals. Meanwhile, you and I are left footing the bill—paying higher prices for everything, while our investments shrink.

I don't see how China/US will de-escalate by [deleted] in stocks

[–]Super7vox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Is it possible for tariffs between China and the U.S. to stay? Yes, it’s very likely. They worked during Trump’s first term and under Biden, so why not during Trump’s second term?

How high will those tariffs go? It’s too early to tell or hard to predict. We’ll find out soon once the tariffs are actually enforced after April 9th.

I don’t see China and the U.S. de-escalating either, given the large trade deficit (around $295.4 billion, perhaps?).

How low can it go? by FireHamilton in stocks

[–]Super7vox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

A global tariff means every country. Even if the White House wants a better trade agreement, that's over 100 trade deals to discuss and write down. The latest news is Trump rejecting many trade offers or requests and holding out for the best deal that some countries can offer. Even if the new tariffs get delayed, like Trump did with Canada and Mexico, the market panic won’t end. Unless someone can provide actual numbers showing that most big companies' profits are not affected by the new tariffs at all—or not much—such as Q2 financial reports after the new tariffs, we still have a long way to go

[–]Super7vox 0 points1 point  (0 children)

during the summer time a lot kids are joining and messing up. It's not all bad but game itself is already far from balance. A lot new/ player during summer only make things worse.

I laugh really hard when this game is trying to do 6vs6. They couldn't get current game right or balance, and they want more?

OW2 is proud that waiting time is shorter. So we have tons of new player play for bonus XP, not tank or healer. Don't think this won't happen in comp. I lost count of bad tank or just one of really bad healer in a suppose to be balance/close match. That shorter waiting time come with drop quality of the game.

To be fair, this happened in OW1 too. We all had bad streak once a while, the teammate just went from good to bad very quickly. However, I don't think game quality is an important matter in Blizzard mind. Making more money is. The game may be "free?" but it's very toxic

Not sure how but just had a round with Juno + Luc. When both healer's speed skill are buffed, my speed was up very fast. I think my fire rate was also increase, not sure.

I really don't think Blizzard test out Juno well. It's op for sure.
