What’s the most overhyped tech trend right now? in c/technology
[–] drawerair 1 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

Phones are like πŸ’» now. The year-to-year improvements are tiny. Some factors related to this –

At least for folks like me who sometimes read re chips, chip improvements are πŸ‘. But big year-to-year improvements are probably hard. If it was easy, Apple or Qualcomm may have already made a chip that was 2 or 3 times faster than the old 1.

So hard to have a clean implementation of under-screen cam and face recognition sensors. Hence, hole punch. Samsung fold has an under-screen front cam but the implemention wasn't clean and the pic quality is below average.

So hard to make a πŸ”‹ that's 2 or 3 times better than the old πŸ”‹. The tech world has been so hungry for a πŸ”‹ innovation for a long time. There was optimism re graphene. Idk if it'll succeed in mass production.

Is this the word firms use to kinda hide their error, which was moving to the cloud?

Bypass short links (self.browsers)

I use Firefox on Android 11 and Windows 11. What's the best way to bypass short links and sites that make us await a certain period of time (say, 10 seconds) before proceeding? Is it Violentmonkey + Bypass all shortlinks (debloated)?

iFixit wants to fix the soldering iron in c/technology
[–] drawerair 2 points 2 months ago* (last edited 2 months ago)

A traditional soldering iron in my nation costs about PHP 450 (about USD 7.95). The portability, accelerometer, temp control, easy repair and the ability to solder while charging a phone are πŸ‘, but USD 250 is so high.

Some thoughts re the Nothing vid of @juxtopposed (y2u.be)

Wanna share some of my thoughts re this. I don't wanna write a very long essay, so here are just 5 items –

  1. I agree that 1 swipe down should let us alter the brightness.

  2. I'm OK with no sun icon in the brightness slider. I'll know that it's brightness even without any icon. But some may have a hard time, so adding an icon will be more user-friendly for them.

  3. Obviously Nothing didn't wanna overuse their dot matrix design. I side with Nothing on this 1. Putting it all over the os will be πŸ‘Ž for me. But beauty is subjective. Some may want the dot matrix design all over the os.

Carl Pei probably thought re the folks switching from a different Android phone or an iPhone to a Nothing phone. He probably wants the process to be as smooth as possible so the user will be satisfied. So he didn't use the dot matrix design on the icons. He said something related to this. Changing many things fast versus changing some things gradually. He said Nothing couldn't be overeager to alter stuff.

  1. Re the phone and messages apps, I wonder whether Nothing wanted the users to use the Google apps for these or Nothing is making their own now and will release those in the future.

  2. I agree that Google photos is not for everyone.

Some don't wanna have a Google account.

Google photos is cloud-storage-focused, not local-storage-focused. Some want a local-storage-focused gallery app.

Its search doesn't work offline. Some need a gallery app that works offline.

Ublock origin – best ad blocker

Aside from Firefox + Ublock origin, I have Firefox focus. Its ad blocker has let thru disappointingly many ads.

Been using my Samsung a70 for almost 3 years and I knew re touch sensitivity only lately. I don't want scratches on my screen so I've always wanted a tempered-glass protector. I'm on my 3rd tempered glass.

Yes, it doesn't mean much if the fine is 0.0001% of Android's $.

Youtube has auto-generated Filipino subtitles (self.philippines)

Revolutionary. Props to Youtube.

I guess Alphabet was the 1st to have the auto-generated English subtitle feature? I think Youtube is the only 1 that has Filipino now. Windows 11 and Samsung oneui have the auto-generated English subtitle feature now. I hope they'll have Filipino.

The International 2024 - Main Event Discussion Thread in c/[email protected]

There was a point in game 1 of the finals (Liquid versus Gaimin) when Liquid slew dyrachyo. Then Ace went near the Liquid heroes. It was 5 versus 4. Why did Ace go near Liquid? Did he throw?

Liquid dominated games 1–3. Micke was reliable. Nisha was all over the place doing damage versus the Gaimin heroes. 33 was a πŸ‘ offlane. It was like Liquid had 2 mids, Nisha and 33. Boxi and Insania were πŸ‘ supports. Boxi Tusk was 1 of the best Tusk I've seen.

Valve doesn't organize majors anymore right? I'm not monitoring the Dota 2 news so Idk. I know Valve didn't do a pro circuit point system for 2024. Then they said they were still focused on The international. Why did they give the keys to PGL? It's already so :( that they don't do True sight anymore. Dota 2 probably isn't high on the list of their profit sources but I hope they'll still give it a moderate amount of care.

Nothing ear 2 have the best mic? (self.philippines)

I wanted to know which Bluetooth earphones have the best mic. I found a Youtube vid. The Youtuber said the Nothing ear 2 have the best mic. Then I viewed Mike O'Brien's Nothing ear 2 review. πŸ‘ mic, per his review.

The Nothing ear 2 are about β‚± 8200 on Shopee and Lazada and about β‚± 5900 on amazon.co.jp. :o

I hope Nothing will offer that 5900 deal here.

When they talked re Teams and Discord, I thought of a meme. Windows will just be Edge in 100 years. All the apps will be web apps. Someone may have made that meme already.

Thankfully Windows didn't force Onedrive on me. I've preferred saving files locally. For my cloud files, I've mainly used Dropbox and Google drive.

I hope Windows will focus on user experience.

Algebra question (self.math)

I'm thinking re the latest vid of @mindyourdecisions

No need to view his vid. Here's the problem –

Brian has some boxes of paper clips. Some boxes hold 10 clips and some boxes hold 100. He has some paper clips left over. He has 3 more boxes with 100 paper clips than he has boxes with 10 paper clips. He has 2 fewer paper clips left over than he has numbers of boxes with 100 paper clips. What number of paper clips could he have?

  • let x1 be the number of boxes with 10 clips
  • x2 be the number of boxes with 100 clips
  • n be the number of leftover clips

I thought of 100x2 = 10x1 + 300

Is that equation right? Something tells me I shouldn't equate 100x2 to 10x1 plus 300. Something tells me I shouldn't make an equation re number of clips as it isn't explicit in the problem. I'm confused.

Scarecrows wrecked by weeds, wood or stones (self.stardewvalley)

I googled how to prevent spawning weeds, wood or stones from wrecking scarecrows. I read re paths. But weeds can wreck any floor or path.

I thought of surrounding a scarecrow with hardwood fence. I asked a large language model (llm) if that works. The llm said yes. True?

A scarecrow doesn't need so many resources but I don't wanna remake a scarecrow each time a weed, wood or a stone wrecks it.
