Maybe try changing the Wi-Fi band (“Wi-Fi Hotspot” -> “Speed and compatibility” menu)? Check also if you get the same slow internet with USB tethering.

That’s one of the annoying parts of the stock OS (unless you can ignore the search bar), it’s an unremovable part of the default Pixel launcher. To get rid of it you’d have to install a 3rd-party launcher, or just install GrapheneOS 👀

nothing but rumors right now but here they seem to expect something between $500 and $549: https://www.tomsguide.com/phones/google-pixel-phones/google-pixel-8a

Have you tried contacting the manufacturer of your hearing aids? It’s worth a shot and you don’t have much to lose, + they’re probably not even aware that there’s an issue with them.

Do you still have that issue? I have Pixel Buds A and I haven’t had any problem with my ear buds on GrapheneOS.

Out of curiosity, which one did you get?

But yeah, a case is definitely the first must-buy (went case-free for years, changed my mind recently as I dropped my P7a on concrete for the third time 🙃). No MagSafe ring for mine, but I got a Ringke Onyx case. It’s pretty cheap, looks great and even makes your phone much more pleasant to hold.

In the 2000s we had AdSense. So now we’re getting… AISense?

There’s also group C which I was part of, you just say that you just pooped or scratch your butt whenever they ask you to load/unload and they’ll immediately offer to do that for you instead.

Thanks for the heads up!

I do forget sometimes that I’m using uBlock Origin 👀. Thanks @[email protected] for the link!

This would be a meme by itself:

Thank you and congrats to the lemmings who claimed them! 😁

lacks some cheese IMO

Let them fight among themselves and prove time and time again that patents are idiotic and hinder innovation.

Yup, they already forced Google to announce that they’ll add such a choice screen for the search engine and web browser on Android: https://www.neowin.net/news/google-will-add-new-search-and-browser-choice-screens-for-android-phones-in-europe/

It’s only a matter of time before Microsoft does so too.

ollama should be much easier to setup!

ROCm is decent right now, I can do deep learning stuff and CUDA programming with it with an AMD APU. However, ollama doesn’t work out-of-the-box yet with APUs, but users seem to say that it works with dedicated AMD GPUs.

As for Mixtral8x7b, I couldn’t run it on a system with 32GB of RAM and an RTX 2070S with 8GB of VRAM, I’ll probably try with another system soon [EDIT: I actually got the default version (mixtral:instruct) running with 32GB of RAM and 8GB of VRAM (RTX 2070S).] That same system also runs CodeLlama-34B fine.

So far I’m happy with Mistral 7b, it’s extremely fast on my RTX 2070S, and it’s not really slow when running in CPU-mode on an AMD Ryzen 7. Its speed is okayish (~1 token/sec) when I try it in CPU-mode on an old Thinkpad T480 with an 8th gen i5 CPU.

PSA: give open-source LLMs a try folks. If you’re on Linux or macOS, ollama makes it incredibly easy to try most of the popular open-source LLMs like Mistral 7B, Mixtral 8x7B, CodeLlama etc… Obviously it’s faster if you have a CUDA/ROCm-capable GPU, but it still works in CPU-mode too (albeit slow if the model is huge) provided you have enough RAM.

You can combine that with a UI like ollama-webui or a text-based UI like oterm.

Hmm I don’t think it’s because of that feature, because it only runs when you explicitly ask it to translate a page for you. You should probably check your extensions, see if you have some redundant ones (a mistake people make is use multiple ad-blockers/anti-trackers, when just uBlock Origin + Firefox’s defaults are usually good enough).
