e.g you can subscribe monthly to ChatGPT or Amazon Prime using Pix. It's called "Automatic Pix".

There's Pix contactless payment. Both Samsung and Google wallet support. Samsung added a few weeks ago. Google added 1 or 2 years ago.

You can actually pay QR Code Pix now with Samsung by just opening the camera too.

Apple refuses to implement Pix on Apple Pay, and regulatory agencies are trying to change that...

Pix integration with Google Pay it's just amazing.

Imagine the situation in the US as if every app or website magically used Google Pay.

Well, that's Brazil now if you use Android. Because as soon as you copy a Pix code, it will prompt Google Pay :) And every service in Brazil have Pix... Even international ones as Stripe supports...

Here in Brazil I think TCL is almost surpassing Samsung in TV sales. In Argentina it's already the leader. They sell Mini LED TVs, etc, way cheaper than Samsung ones... It's just better quality for the price. And entry level Samsung ones are cheaper quality. Samsung TU8000 in Brazil has factory issue, and they always refused to do recall.

Although in a few sectors like washing machine, I think they are growing here.

ACs they were one of the biggest for sure, with good pricing, but now, again, there's hisense, TCL, all cheaper...

Not yet... Which is a shame.

And they actually say the prices will be "significantly" lower in second semester when Huawei 650 chips comes in.

Meanwhile, they don't actually say which model you are running on Deepseek Chat website.

You would be surprised to how little people use adblockers. Old data, but on my country for a major tech website, the number was 13%.

When I was a teen, like, 15 years ago or so, my Google Ads account got permanently banned because I made the mistake of clicking on my own ad. :)

For example, some people drive to other cities, by car.

Pretty easy to know by just looking at app install folder, or, with Visual Studio, without any need to do any decompiling.

In practice, I guess most people realize because web tech just behaves different than native.

At least here, in a very low-end system, Fedora just freezes when ram is full, it's not as smooth. On Windows, there was a ton of problems, but in general, this never happened. Windows would increase the "swapfile" to 20gb, but would never let the system completely freeze.

My guess it's just the default kernel settings that Arch use instead of Fedora. Arch uses zswap, while Fedora use zram... there's other stuff as well.

It's linux in the end, so you could just change several settings on Fedora... But then... why if you can just install arch?

I think some people are very used to high RAM devices, and doesn't realize these days how some distros can be very bad on low-end systems.

Like, packagekit on Fedora it's a ram hog (and they acknowledge that). Windows these years been bad, but the situation in some linux distros is not great either.

What Linux does better, it's respecting user choice and UX.

Try arch, it's RAM management it's way better. Use Endeavouros if you don't want to deal with the arch install.

I have the same experience on Fedora, and most distros. Arch is the only distro that it's 100% smooth for me.

OpenSuse comes second.

Lol. At first I was thinking it was a AI kill switch on web pages (like Google overview...). I guess was being naive that they would do that, and also weird because there's barely any AI stuff on Firefox indeed...

Brazilian Serpro (state IT company) also has a deal with Palantir.

"The partnership between Serpro (Federal Data Processing Service) and Palantir Technologies is a technological collaboration focused on leveraging large-scale data analysis (Big Data) and the implementation of Artificial Intelligence (AI) in the Brazilian public sector"

You realize this change by country, right? At least in my country (Brazil), Chinese cars already have a reputation for quality lol

X algo is not that amazing for that to happen. We are not talking about Tiktok.

Old algo. They replaced X algo a while ago, it uses Grok...

Yes! Sorry... hahahahaha I wish we were able to predict 6 years!

If you mean minute-accurate forecast for the next 4-6 years... That's called Nowcasting, and yes, it exists. Bing Weather have it, ACCU Weather as well. Rain viewer too. I believe Google already implemented on Pixel Weather at least.

IMO the best of these are Bing Weather and Rain Viewer, both provide rich maps showing where the rain it's going and all too. And how much.

Google AI Overview a lot of times write wrong about obvious things so... lol

They probably use old Flash Lite model, something super small, and just summarize the search...

It does memorize. But that's not actually very news.... I remember ChatGPT 3.5 or old 4.0 to remember some users on some reddit subreddts and all. Saying even the top users for each subreddit..

The thing is, most of the models were heavily post-trained to limit this...

Weirdly, Netflix on my Samsung TV it's been a few months it's using only H264. Not AV1. When they first launched AV1, it worked there...

Honestly not complaining, because they were using AV1 with 800-900~kbps for 1080p content, which is clearly not enough compared to their 6Mbps h.264 bitrate.

I mean... I bought a Samsung TV in 2020, and it already supported AV1 HW decoding.

2020 feels close, but that's 5 years.

Oh, I agree. it's just, they mentioned things like Twitter DM, Messenger and forgot Telegram...

Came here to comment exactly this. Even opened github expecting to see something...

What about Telegram?

tbh, it's been 10 years I don't use Chrome... When I used Windows, my main browser was Edge, and was quite fast to open as far I remember, but I believe on Windows Edge stays open in background all the time anyway...

Not sure why mine there's no ads... Never had to toggle, as far I remember. I used Revanced Manager.

They are? My Linux PC have horrible perf (a 2014 Core M, 4gb RAM), and yet, Firefox opens instantly.

There's no ads on Revanced...
