My theory is that the flagship needs to be thiner and lighter than the "cheaper" models, thus reducing its battery capacity.
It's sort of an open secret for years now. But I'm not totally convinced that it will work well.
I have a Chromebook with a Ryzen APU (Ryzen 3250 or smth). And while it handles all web tasks really well, it completely struggles with Android Apps. Even apps like "YouTube Kids" or "Prime Video" run far worse than their web couterparts.
And I'm not even talking about gaming - even old games like "cut the rope" run at unplayable framerates.
(my guess is that the whole virtualization framework is holding these apps back.)
Good news is that Pixel phones prices drop fast. For example, the price of Pixel 9 dropped from 900€ to 550€ in less than one year.

How to draw a lion
(feddit.org)
Made with Mistral / Le Chat.
create a funny 4 panel comic, how to draw a lion. panels 1-3 contain extremely basic shapes of the lion, panel 4 the finished, colored lion. this comic should be fun because the step from 3 to 4 will be ridiculously hard.

Love it when someone falls for phishing, gives away their login, and just… says nothing. Really helpful.

How ChatGPT imagines that I look like
(feddit.org)
As a fun experiment, I asked ChatGPT to create an image of me based on my chat history. I've been chatting with it for a while, so it has some ideas. Here is an example prompt that you could use to try this too:
Create an image of how you imagine me to look based solely on our chat history. Estimate my age, gender, hairstyle, skin tone, body type, clothing, and background scene. Use clues from my personality, interests, and writing style to visualize a realistic portrait.
If you use ChatGPT, feel free to share how the AI imagines you to look - based solely on your conversations!

Map of Europe, according to AI
(feddit.org)
Just as an experiment, it appears that drawing maps isn't one of the strengths of AI.
Made with le chat, ChatGPT does a little better.
The "conservative party" is the CDU/CSU, and even though they won, they just had their second worst result since the 1950s.

I hate passwords
(feddit.org)
How on earth can you both not accept the password I copied from my password safe and tell me that I cannot use the same pasaword again?

And ivanti released CVE-2025-0282, just one week into the new year.
If it's a civil and interesting discussion, why not?
The worst are apps that send ads through notifications.
Oh I had the same thought. Whoever limits password length probably has many other shitty security practices.
The site provides a nice TL,DR:
- Efforts like Graphene OS face increasing pressure from apps that refuse to run on non-standard Android.
- The custom ROM project characterizes Google’s approach to device attestation as incomplete and flawed.
- Graphene OS is prepared to take legal action if Google won’t let it pass Play Integrity checks.
Whenever YouTube changes something, newpipe adapts to it within one or two days. Thanks to the devs!
