I don’t think that’s what “sharing” refers to in this case. This is about users who did/didn’t modify the settings of their chatbot to make their inputs and outputs publicly available via search. 404’s previous reporting on ChatGPT suggested some users may not have understood what the sharing option actually meant in this context.
“Your call phone is important to us.”
No, but I assume it was what the person you replied to was referencing.
At $799, the Nothing Phone 3 is competing with devices like the Pixel 9 and OnePlus 13, both of which have it beat in the camera department, and the OnePlus phone is faster.
Similar price to a OnePlus, with worse performance…what is the point of this guy’s new company again?
I think it’s mostly just the “China = BAD” factor because of Tencent’s part-ownership.
I think Sony is one of the few major (in terms of brand name recognition) manufacturers that is yet to jump on the AI hype train. It has the standard Android stuff like Gemini, but hasn’t done much else. Other than that, all I can really think of are smaller manufacturers like Fairphone that don’t have the resources to develop anything themselves. All the major Chinese brands are full of this stuff, as are companies like Nothing and Motorola which took a while to get there.
Lemmy saw “AI” in the title and kneejerked, as it tends to do.
Aren’t Pixels already filled with AI? Why is this the thing that tips you over the edge?
I have a pair of Galaxy Buds (1st Gen) and they are the only headphones that still display a battery icon. Not sure if I’m missing something obvious but it feels very much like the type of anti-consumer walled garden change Samsung would make these days in its “copy Apple” era.
I think this is a One UI 7 thing, but the battery indicator for connected Bluetooth devices has completely disappeared. The only way to check the remaining battery life of my connected headphones or speakers is through a third party application, I can no longer find a way to do it in the OS itself.
Again, shitty phone. You’re supposed to actually push the button to unlock it. Don’t understand why your finger would be on the back of the phone when putting it in your pocket anyway.
This isn’t a “shitty phone” thing. Every phone I’ve owned with a side-mounted fingerprint reader has unlocked via touch (not press). It’s standard.
I guess part of the reason I think about it quite a bit these days is because almost all of my friends who are my age and older have mostly stopped. The guys who haven’t are the ones who are still single, living by themselves with no responsibilities to anyone beyond their employer.
One guy I know has vlogged and blogged quite a lot about his experiences “quitting” video games. The realisation he came to was that gaming was holding him back in many other areas of his life, and that he had been reluctant to acknowledge this earlier in his life because he was scared about what that said about all the time he had sunk into video games instead of solving his problems. It’s not that severe for me, but I do wonder whether it’s a hobby I maintain out of laziness/fear of trying something new, rather than because I still love it.
people are talking about having to pick between privacy (GrapheneOS) and ethical manufacturing (Fairphone)
GrapheneOS is far from the only ROM that can improve the user’s privacy. Many other projects support Fairphone, and whilst they may not pass the Lemmy purity tests, they are objectively better in many ways than the default operating system. It frustrates me that people in the privacy space constantly frame decisions as binary trade-offs when in reality you can always take smaller steps to improve your privacy without giving up everything else you care about.
Also, I can’t remember if I mentioned this previously, but I bought a secondhand 2DS a couple of months ago so I’ve finally got around to starting Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask. The DS Layton games were some of my favourites but because I never owned a 2DS/3DS, or a portable device that could emulate them well, I have held off on playing them until now. Layton games are best played in a cosy space, like in bed or an armchair with a rug, with headphones on and the weather has been colder and wetter here recently which is perfect for this type of game!
Other than that, I haven’t had too much free time for gaming lately, and to be honest I haven’t really had the drive for it either. I am approaching my mid-30s now and sometimes wonder if I’m going to “grow out of” gaming as a main hobby at some point in the near future.
I’ll be interested to read your future updates about AI: The Somnium Files. I really like Kotaro Uchikoshi’s work, he has written some of my favourite visual novels previously including Ever 17 and 999. I’ll wait until you’re further in before I talk about The Somnium Files (I don’t want to spoil or influence anything for you).
Google says the “Expanded” dark mode is intended to improve accessibility, but you may experience appearance issues when using it as some apps won’t play nicely with it. If that happens, then it’s recommended you enable the “Standard” dark mode instead, as it won’t force a dark theme on apps that don’t support it.
In general I agree, but my understanding is that the pirate streams of live sporting events were cracked down on quite hard. There was definitely a dip at one point where the high quality SopCast and Ace Stream broadcasts that had become very popular for competitions like the Premier League (e.g. Bloodzeed) disappeared quite suddenly and weren’t replaced with anything comparable.
I responded to it
Unfortunately you don’t seem to understand the meaning of the words “compared to”. If, as you admit:
Slow security updates are a problem, plaguing basically all of Android.
Then it is impossible for there to be something wrong with Fairphone security compared to the majority of competitors.
Battlefield 6’s open beta launches this weekend, so I’ll hopefully be putting some hours into that. I have heard quite good things about it from those who already have time in the game, but I suspect a lot of the current goodwill is just vibes-based because this game is better than the abysmal 2042 and mediocre V, and because it appears to be a bit of a spiritual sequel to 3 and 4. Although I have played the last four Battlefield games, I wouldn’t consider myself a Battlefield fan so I’m hoping I can be a little more critical while playing and get an idea of whether it’s worth my time and money. It was pretty clear to me from playing the 2042 open beta that the game would be absolutely terrible for years after launch, so I saved myself a lot of pain and some money by picking it up much later for a heavy discount.
