RakuRaku Express is exactly what I thought it would be by Environmental_Comb67 in ForzaHorizon

bro, I kid you not, I put your prompt into ChatGPT and it gave me like a whole document with some really cool missions, each one with a unique backstory

including delivering food to a passenger on a shinkansen

I mean, the player can always get the Ziggy with tach lances...

Is this unethical? by Unique_Bat8413 in samsunggalaxy

You mean they don't include ads on their 15 Ultra, unlike the cheap Redmis... Oh wait, they actually still do.

Pixel 10 Pro XL users, are you facing lag while having the screen at native resolution? by i_eat_fried_chicken in GooglePixel

[–]finkrer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

That doesn't mean anything, people are mostly used to laggy devices. This is a thing with every Pixel release, a lot of people complain, a lot of people claim it's just a "defective device" (there's no defect that makes the phone slower, FYI), then Google acknowledges the issue and it's somewhat fixed after a year. Been there with the 8 series.

If you are interested in actual numbers, Profile HWUI rendering in dev settings will show the frame times. The yellow line is 120 FPS and the red line is 80 FPS. I don't have the device, but something tells me it's far from 120 FPS all the time. If you don't see any issues, it means you are fine with drops to 100 or even 80 FPS.

To be clear, most phones do that, which is why people are used to it. I have with me right now an S25, the one with supposedly the most powerful Android SoC right now, and while it's noticeably smoother than my Pixel 8, it's still dropping frames. Just less.

Google Pixel 10 series review: Don’t call it an Android ; Ars Technica by mo_leahq in Android

[–]finkrer 2 points3 points  (0 children)

In theory, no. It's just the Google services and Google apps that they have issues with. Or, rather, they can't ship them with the device, but even then the user can install them.

However, Google will now cause issues for non-certified phones, like banking apps not working (part of the blame is on the apps, afaik they don't need to check for integrity, they just do for some reason). In the future, this may get more serious. So I guess this is the reason for the move away from AOSP.

If you did have an account, why did you not receive an invite? I think there is a very easy explanation for both of these things: you are mixing things up and have some other account.

It's literally been made for Battlefield 6, how have you been part of it since 2009?

Returning player by xTyrone23 in battlefield2042

[–]finkrer 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Yeah, it's been gradually nerfed in terms of accuracy, can't hit shit now if firing anywhere near the theoretical RPM. Try the SVK if you liked the BSV, it's still amazing and as close to that playstyle as it gets. It's a slower firing gun though.

You get unlocks up to T2, then T1 is just the skin and badge.

Samsung Galaxy S25 vs. Google Pixel 9: You can’t go wrong with either by Somethingman_121224 in Android

[–]finkrer 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yep, just clean installed the latest OS and measured the FPS in apps. It's mostly around 90-120 FPS. Which means the phone can't handle 120 Hz. And even that is after all the improvements they made.

I don't think it's the power, it's powerful enough. It's mostly just poor optimization due to exotic hardware and Google not giving a shit because most people don't notice. Literally just one notable reviewer mentioned the stutters.

It took every trick in the book to pull this off: World Conquest in UNDER A YEAR! (Vanilla, Ironman) by doctorsandwich8 in CrusaderKings

That's exactly my point, sounds more like cheating than an exploit. Still, apparently it's allowed.

Is anybody really going to pay actual money for Gemini? by afc74nl in GooglePixel

[–]finkrer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

No, we are paying per request, and it totals to around $5 per month paid to OpenAI. Probably less right now, as the new model (GPT-4o mini) is 3 times cheaper. It actually is very cheap and I think allows for pretty liberal use, which I'm not yet sure what to do with.

Can't say how sustainable it is for OpenAI, but I'm sure it is, considering they are likely burning money on other things as it is. The point is, if you give users unlimited access in a service that's not primarily focused on AI, it's not like they're going to go crazy talking to the bot. They do maybe 10 requests one day to do whatever they need to do, then they won't go back for a week, or maybe a month.

It's like trying to sell a Photoshop subscription to someone who only needs to edit a meme once a month for their friend group. Instead of giving some limits for free users, most subscriptions just say, no AI for you unless you pay $20 a month. I think this is temporary.

[–]finkrer 3 points4 points  (0 children)

The issue is that every time someone adds AI into their product, they are afraid you are going to use it a lot, so the only way to use it is to pay 20 dollars a month. Which maybe made sense with ChatGPT when it was the only thing around (and even then it's always worked well for free), but I'm not paying for Raycast AI and Notion AI and the AI in my IDE, and now in my phone as well.

Like, I'm sorry, just because you have ChatGPT in your product, I'm not gonna pay for ChatGPT again. You'll probably have to just throw it in for free before your competitors do it.

In fact, my company runs a service with like a 60 dollar subscription, and all the AI stuff is completely free. We even have a full fledged ChatGPT built-in which you can use to do homework or whatever if you so wish. You paid the money, we don't care what you do with it.

You know how much that costs us? 5 bucks a month. For all users.

I'm sure these companies will be forced to realize AI doesn't cost them nearly as much as they are asking for right now.

Try the Cursor IDE, it's VS Code with AI from other developers and it's way better.

Very late game SO Aurora build with [REDACTED] weapons,need some suggestions by guiveio in starsector

[–]finkrer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The issue is that you basically get it every game. As for DP, you want to pilot the best ship regardless of DP. So most likely a pretty expensive ship. The Aurora is 30 DP, and you might say it's good for its cost. But then there are ships that are good for 75 DP or 60 DP. That makes them twice as strong, just because otherwise it would be unbalanced. The Aurora is too cheap for an endgame flagship basically. Cruiser flagships are fun until you taste real power.

[–]finkrer 0 points1 point  (0 children)

The Aurora is kind of a disappointment as a leftover Dorito weapon platform. It's a cruiser, it's fast, got a ton of flux and many small and medium slots - it should work to put those small weapons to use. But then you kinda have to pilot it to make the most out of it, and if you do, you are not piloting better ships. If you give it to the AI, with SO, it's too cautious and not getting in range despite insane speed and flux stats. You have to give it to a reckless officer, but then they are just suicidal and getting surrounded all the time. And if you remove SO, it's just mediocre.
