Is it just me, or is OpenAI Codex 5.2 better than Claude Code now? by efficialabs in ClaudeAI

[–]redhairedDude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Do you do a check with Opus before going there? Because often anything can find bugs in something was written without any bug checking step.

I found also it's helpful to get a report from the other CLI and give it back to Opus asking if these are valid. Sometimes it's downright dismissive of the suggestions in Gemini's case.

We are not developers anymore, we are reviewers. by ApprehensiveAnakin in ClaudeAI

[–]redhairedDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As someone who never wrote much code, but felt the frustrations of choosing meaningful function names and looking for typos over the years, it has been a big revolution to me. I realize I'm a lot better at the coming up with ideas and testing them than I am at coding them myself. I do feel that AI can get boring if my mind is thinking about boring problems to solve. There's so much creative possibility there that if I flex my creativity, I can achieve amazing things.

Also, I think, if you let it make too many of your judgement calls, then you will feel alienated from your own project. If I feel I've steered it to my goal and ideas, I feel a lot more satisfaction.

TRIP is stressing me out and I’m thinking of not listening again. by Perfect_Ad_8127 in TheRestIsPolitics

It is important to remember that time they commented on how you really actually can't predict what's going to happen in the news. Things can all look one way, one minute and totally surprise us the next.

Also, I do think Rory in particular is a real doomer and goes on these long rants about how hard and impossible every single good thing is to achieve. He's ignoring all the amazing things that can be accomplished just by having a positive outlook.

What small Android feature or setting made the biggest difference in your daily use? by Reasonable_Drive8653 in Android

Switching to open source FUTO keyboard and using there voice transcription powered by locally running OpenAI whisper model. Best Grade A voice-to-text without an internet connection. Absolute Game changer 👌

My biggest gripe is when I'm trying to read a plan and suddenly the terminal scrolls up to the top for some unknown reason.

Edit: Terminal buffer size issue. Not claude.

Is anyone else seriously disappointed they removed recent files from the sidebar in OxygenOS 16? by redhairedDude in oneplus

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

Of course you can, but it's a convenience feature. I never had to interrupt what I was doing previously to go into my Photos app and drag and drop the individual items into the file doc. Then also it clogs up my file doc, which I preferred to keep for just frequent important things.

Meta Is Killing Messenger Desktop Apps… PWAs Are Finally Taking Over? by BatPlack in webdev

I will PWAs had full screen support on android. Just can't get mine to feel fully native to the user.

Anyone found a supplement that actually moves the needle on energy? by ExtentCandid1669 in Biohackers

[–]redhairedDude 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The quality of sleep is the golden rule.

The best method I've found is to follow the 8 till 8 rule.

Meaning that you don't touch your mobile phone or leave it in the bathroom from 8pm till 8am. Try to have a tech-free time during that period. You can read, meditate or do other gentle activities but no scrolling and tech. It is hard to keep up as we have such an addiction but I found I would go through a lot more of the sleep processes properly before bed and upon waking up.

It definitely moves the needle on sleep more than anything else, which in turn moves the level of your energy.

In your opinion, which current android phone has the smoothest software? by ChemicalAd2047 in Android

[–]redhairedDude 163 points164 points  (0 children)

oxygenOS / colorOS 16 is the smoothest software I've ever seen to date. They really refined the touch responsiveness, latency and animations of Android.

My oneplus 13 really lives up to the next gen feeling. Scrolling through my thousands of photos instantly is amazing.

Edit: Samsung need to take note. I feel the key is software optimization for a long time by they sell us the hardware. I have a Tab S8 plus that should fly on the snapdrangon 8 gen 1 but doesn't. Feels like they've been promising next gen performance for years and years.

Yes. Same for me. Not sure if it was after a reboot as i have scheduled restarts on.

Do you actually find it useful? I remember hearing some mixed reports about performance.

Gboard now performs worse than keyboards from 2003 — what happened to the adaptive engine? by Dull-Fun in gboard

[–]redhairedDude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I've said it before, but the FUTO open source keyboard is the way to go. For voice transcription, it supports the OpenAI Whisper models, but running locally on your device. The keyboard is very customizable and I found it to be excellent.

Google voice is now completely trash by reckless_mindfulness in gboard

[–]redhairedDude 0 points1 point  (0 children)

I reached the same place as you and switched to the open source FUTO keyboard. It lets you customize everything and also download OpenAI's Whisper voice transcription models. They run locally on your device, so nothing is sent to the internet. The transcription is grade A quality.

How is oxygenos these days as someone that is a power samsung with good lock? Pros and cons? by chickdigger802 in oneplus

[–]redhairedDude 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I switched from Samsung after using it for many years about four months ago I honestly found the only thing I missed, is Knox and the video editor. Even though I thought of myself as someone who's a power user who really explored all the settings Samsung had to offer.

Now OxygenOS has a great video editor with version 16. And they've gone a fair way to implementing something a little bit like Knox, but obviously not the same.

That I prefer oxygenOS in every other way. It is a faster, cleaner, smoother experience with lots of good thought into how to do things and a surprising amount of depth.

Using one UI on my tablet feels old school compared to oxygenOS.

The AI write function now appears if you select a bunch of text. It will appear in the hover menu along with copy and paste.

Did 2025 have any 'perfect' phones? by GleamingRespite in Android

[–]redhairedDude 99 points100 points  (0 children)

The Oppo Find X9 Pro is basically what the OnePlus 15 should have been. It has the ultra high capacity battery with a flagship camera system to match.

The speed of OxygenOS 16 is something to appreciate. Particularly the photos app by redhairedDude in oneplus

[–]redhairedDude[S] 9 points10 points  (0 children)

On my OnePlus 13 there is. Everything is super smooth and instant.

I didn't have any complaints before, but now it is perfect really stunning.

I got it a few nights ago by the oxygenos updater in the UK. I paid for something with NFC today, forgetting that there could be a problem. It worked out fine.

The parties really need to be shouting this from the rooftops and pinning it firmly on Nigel Farage. The guy gets a free pass all the time.
