Aha I’m not crazy! There was about a week where YouTube videos were so slow and we mainly use SmartTube on the shield TV, the fucked up part is I pay for YouTube premium, I just like the UI and options available on SmartTube better then the default app.

It did seem to get better, so maybe they realized I fucking pay for this service.

Certainly! Here’s the English translation of the information about 凤凰血 (Blood of Phoenix):

I obviously mean with software support, though also https://www.theverge.com/2023/11/15/23960345/microsoft-cpu-gpu-ai-chips-azure-maia-cobalt-specifications-cloud-infrastructure

Yeah, it’s just Apple actually pushing it forward and Microsoft sorta half assing it lol.

I was so confused lmao

Funny with ARM finally starting to rise beyond just mobile devices, accurate but very early

This is such a click bait headline and the comments so far just doom and gloom lmfao.

I am worried about the future of nexusmods, I didn’t even think about my lifetime sub going away but they did state it wouldn’t, they also specifically said they were looking to reduce ads and not thinking about paid mods. These are all good things, we will see how it ultimately plays out but the headline is hilarious. “THEY’VE ALREADY HAD TO HAVE BEEN ASKED”

I can’t imagine a possibility that they wouldn’t have been asked this even if they had never said a thing about AI, Crypto, or NFTs, that’s the hot button things people like to rally against right now so it’s going to be asked.

Ah Samsung hid it in advanced https://us.community.samsung.com/t5/Fold-Flip-Phones/Wi-Fi-Sharing-no-longer-under-Hotspot-settings/td-p/3107614

Last time I tried to find it on my fold I couldn’t find it

Lol I have that on my to do list too, already have text Gen webui setup and even tested some tts/stt to make sure I worked, actually connecting it all together and have it overtake gemini on my Google home for instance, not sure how possible that actually is.

There was a nifty feature in one of my older android phones where you could share the wifi as another wifi Hotspot, extremely useful while at a hotel or something so you can connect the chromecast or other devices that can’t “sign in”

Nice! I’d be happy to be wrong

Absolutely not sure, just my gut feeling with usage in WINE in the past and how much latency issues can occur even natively in windows

I can’t imagine that’ll run well, latency is super important :/

Is this real lmao

Lol I did that a few months ago too

One wonders if that’s the intention, like with Gaza and Hamas, people are driven to extremism by extreme circumstances and Israel at every step stopped anything but hamas from power to help themselves.

Because that’s not how reality works

What is i2c?
