I had problems with my 3080 and Ubuntu having a flickering screen. Eventually I switched from displayport cable to hdmi and that fixed the issue.

I turn off all the animations using dev menu so my phone feels faster

I’m interested to see how EU will measure battery life, I’m guessing some standard stress testing software perhaps?

This is how gsmarena does it: https://www.gsmarena.com/gsmarena_lab_tests-review-751p6.php

For me Philips Fidelio X2HR work great. They’re open back and neutral sounding so work well for FPS. However they have neither wireless or noise cancelling.

UWB looks very cool for finding things from the phone (without the tracker ringing). Samsung Smart tag 2 does this.

I’ve picked up a Moto tag that has UWB and works with Google’s find my network - my understanding is that this will work like apple air tags which can use any iPhone to report and track it’s location. Though it’s not doing all of these things just yet!

These 2 videos, whilst slightly rambling, covered a lot.

I WFH, so my chair gets a lot of use - it’s one of the tools I use.

If I was an electrician, or I commuted to work I know I’d be paying for tools, fuel, repairs, train tickets etc

I don’t know what your circumstances are, but I find a cheap chair falls apart pretty quick.

The better office chairs have 10+ year warranties, if you spread out the cost of buying a cheap chair (£150) every 2 years Vs a £1000 one that lasts 10 years its not such a huge difference in price whilst the benefits to your back are worth much more.

I know not everyone can afford this, but it’s worth checking for interest free credit from either the manufacturer, store, or even PayPal / klarna (which is what I did).

So I was trying to think how I’d implement it, and I agree if it’s simple then it really only needs to set the brightness level once, then remember if the user adjusts it, and reuse that adjustment for every lux reading.

Hence the example I gave:

Take the ambient light level (lux).
Set brightness to 5.
Log that the user has made it 1 level or 10% darker.
Next time it senses the same lux level, set the brightness 1 level lower

Well shucks, I guess Samsung lied to me! I see adaptive brightness was released as part of Android Pie in 2018.

Yeah, I was thinking it could be machine learning in that it takes the average of all your changes over time and the different ambient light levels.

But deffo no need for neural networks.

I totally agree with you.

However there is one smart feature Samsung has that I like. The screen brightness auto adjusts based on the ambient light, but if I change that automatic brightness (I prefer the screen darker) it will remember that and consistently adjust the brightness.

I’m not sure it’s really an AI feature…

Take the ambient light level (lux).
Set brightness to 5.
Log that the user has made it 1 level or 10% darker.
Next time it senses the same lux level, set the brightness 1 level lower

I’m guessing some sort of NAS but I’m eager to know the truth

I totally agree with you, I’d much rather read some bullet points then sit through a video.

I think YouTube automatically generates transcripts already, and GPT can summarise text easily.

We’ll get an AI to caption and then summarise the transcript of the video that’s 8 mins long because the user (understandably) wanted to monetize the video.

I wonder if this was Google’s plan all along …

That’s a very good idea

I’m still on an early gen Chromecast and never see any adverts. Very occasionally crashes (once a fortnight).

I don’t know if you’ve already looked but this site is my favourite for this kind of question.
