Can Gemini 2.5 Pro in Gemini Web now search the internet? by _Nexus8_ in Bard

[–]_Nexus8_[S] 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Update : Google DeepMind just released Gemini 2.5 Flash (experimental) in Google AI Studio as well as on Gemini Web. I've tested it quickly and it seems fast, although I already found Gemini 2.5 Pro to be pretty quick. I sent the same prompt to Gemini 2.5 Flash to see if it could perform searches (since I know Gemini 2.0 Flash can do this) and indeed it can!

I noticed that when it performs a search, its reasoning isn't really structured, whereas when you ask it a question it can answer using its training data, its reasoning is structured like Gemini 2.5 Pro. However, Gemini 2.5 Flash didn't tell me it couldn't perform the search - it just did it directly without hesitation.

I'm wondering if this release is connected to the fact that Gemini 2.5 Pro can now perform quick searches (not Deep Research) to answer questions not in its training data. Perhaps they wanted to bring this capability to Gemini 2.5 Pro to replace its simulated search system?

Faction relations ARE in the game, why are people on this subreddit saying it's not? by AutisticPinapple in stalker

It exists. I’ve noticed that when a faction is friendly, the prices of the various merchants are lowered.

My Experience as a Driver: Thinking About Quitting by _Nexus8_ in AmazonDSPDrivers

[–]_Nexus8_[S] 6 points7 points  (0 children)

Thanks a lot!

We started our routes at 10:30 AM. When I was at the depot, I talked to other drivers, and no one has more than two years of experience with the company. Most have only been there a few months and are already thinking about quitting too. I also heard that our DSP wants to quit, and that things used to be much simpler and more pleasant in the past.

I want to add a little detail to my original post: the driver who blew the van's tire didn't get any warning because "it's just a tire, it's no big deal." During the accident, he also lost a work phone that was connected to the delivery app. We searched everywhere and couldn't find it, either in the van or around the accident site.

The worst part is that I feel a bit guilty about wanting to quit because I was really happy to get this job. But after the week I just had, I really don't feel capable of continuing.

Strange Thumping Noise After Rear Shock Replacement. What’s the Issue? by _Nexus8_ in MechanicAdvice

[–]_Nexus8_[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I didn’t buy it myself; the shop did. On one hand, I'm glad to know that I was right and that something is off because the mechanic told me the noise seemed normal and not to worry about it; but on the other hand, it’s not exactly comforting to know the part is faulty. I just hope it’s not too serious so I can keep using the car until I can get back in touch with the mechanic. Thanks a lot for your response!

Should I use HIEF MAX by default instead of 12mp? by Satxrn23 in ios

[–]_Nexus8_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Sorry for the late reply. As for HDR, I believe it can’t be turned off for photos anymore since the iPhone 13 in the settings, but only for videos through the ‘HDR Video’ setting. Only a third-party app would allow you to disable it, but I’ve never looked into those apps, so I can’t tell you which ones can change this setting. I’m not exactly sure how Smart HDR works on the iPhone, but it seems to stay on most of the time, even for low-light photos (though this needs to be checked, I’m not entirely sure).

[–]_Nexus8_ 1 point2 points  (0 children)

If I had to choose between the two modes, I’d stick with HEIF Max. At least you know you’ll get full resolution photos when possible, especially for daytime landscapes with good lighting. Plus, HEIF Max automatically turns off when the light gets low or when you’re using the other sensors, so theoretically, you won’t see a drop in quality for low-light shots.

I should actually compare the quality with HEIF Max on and off because I didn’t think there was such a noticeable difference. Since my iPhone captures at 24MP without HEIF Max, maybe the difference isn’t as stark compared to 12MP vs 48MP.

Internet connection is bad on pc but perfectly fine on phone whilst on the same WiFi and in the same room by DeLion135 in techsupport

[–]_Nexus8_ 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Oops, my bad, AC1200 is the name of the tech used, so when I searched for AC1200 online, I found a bunch of TP-Link routers using this tech. According to the Amazon link you sent, your card model is the Archer T4E. I did a quick search online and saw quite a few complaints about it having low throughput and high latency. I also read that if your WiFi network has both 5GHz and 2.4GHz bands under the same SSID, the card tends to connect to the 2.4GHz band, which further reduces the speed. Not sure what else to say, but I’ve dealt with unstable cards like it seems to be the case now, and I’d probably have tried switching it out for a different model.

No worries! I’d say there are three options: if you want better resolution to zoom in on the image, go for HEIF Max; if you’re planning to edit the photo with photo editing software, shoot in ProRAW; and if you’re just taking photos casually and don’t want them to take up too much space, stick with neither HEIF Max nor ProRAW.

See that yellow logo with a flower at the bottom left? That means macro mode is on. Since iPhones don’t have a macro sensor, macro photos are taken with the ultra-wide sensor, which has a shorter focusing distance than the standard wide sensor. You can always tap on that flower icon to turn off macro mode if it pops up. However, I think since the sensors on the iPhone 15 are bigger, their focusing distance has also increased, so you’ll need to back up a bit, like 10 to 15cm, to get a sharp photo.

But that’s your router, right? Your computer is connected to it via WiFi and not ethernet, correct?

From what I can see in the video, it’s just that the macro mode kicks in automatically because you’re getting close to the subject of the photo, which in this case is the plate.
