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)?

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 👎 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.

4. 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.

5. 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.

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.

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. 👍 mic, per his review.

The Nothing ear 2 are about ₱ 8200 on Shopee and Lazada and about ₱ 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.

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.

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.

Some Intel 13th and 14th gen desktop processors have been failing. It's big news.

Per Intel, the root causes for the 13th gen are excessive voltage and oxidation issue. The root cause for the 14th gen is excessive voltage. They'll release a patch to fix the voltage issue. The oxidation is a manufacturing issue so it's a big deal. Can't be fixed with any software update. Intel's statement lacked details. They didn't say which specific processors are problematic and the specific batches of processors with the oxidation issue. Their statement re the oxidation had a contradiction. This is just Intel's statement and this whole thing may be bigger than what it seems.

I'm wondering if there are many Filipinos experiencing failures. I guess 💻 is more famous than desktop in 🇵🇭, but there are Filipino desktop enthusiasts. Anyone here who had a failure?

I'm an avid Marques fan, but for me, he didn't have to make that vid. It was just a set of comparisons. No new info. No interesting discussion. Instead he should've just shared that Wired podcast episode on his X.

I wonder if Apple is making their own large language model (llm) and it'll be released this year or next year. Or are they still musing re the cost-benefit analysis? If they think that an Apple llm won't earn that much profit, they may not make 1.
