@[email protected] Oh I’m with you on generative AI slop, but I will admit to enjoying the output of NPUs since the Huawei Kirin chips back in the day.
THat’s how we got cameras that could identify subjects, then later we got Sony’s amazing eye tracking autofocus, and now subject detection in photo editing apps.
That kind of on-device practical NPU performance is really interesting.

Making soulless “art” out of prompts? A lot less interesting…

@[email protected] Naw. Subject selection has always been a tedious chore. No one’s artistic skills are being challenged in the market JUST because we can identify a subject and draw a border around it a little faster. 😄

And even if it is true, we’re all still gonna work like she’s 10 points down.

Or the folks spending $1400+ on a mac mini who dont need that level of machine either.
Sure would help to have more cross over conversations in tech. Consumers dont turn to reviewers anymore, and mainstream news doesn’t really touch the “nerdy” stuff these days.

@[email protected] that’s a problem of education not of actual software delivery.
A moto isn’t like a OnePlus or Galaxy, and techies should understand the difference. Moto opts to support many components through Google play updates like HTC used to.
A moto is regularly updated. Why wait for an ota if pieces can be patched over Play?
They certainly should extend support to at least 5 years, but there are ways in which a Moto is better up to date than even a Pixel.

@[email protected] I still have my old X2 from the moto maker with blue leather. It was AWESOME. I wish Moto still had some of that verve. They could legit compete in the USA, but they’re basically invisible.

It’s a fun showdown between two Xiaomi phones! Slate versus Foldable! Qualcomm vs Mediatek!

Here’s the scoop on REAL WORLD performance and some thoughts on gaming! A HUGE thank you to my Patrons for supporting production on this channel!

That’s not all! The Xiaomi Mix Flip is also getting a global launch, and this phone is REALLY not for me! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=l75CB13C_4A

But YOU might like it!
This video still has a product run down, but it’s a bit less of a “review” and more of a diary entry on why Flip phones really aren’t for me.
We really could be categorizing phones better for folks’ different needs…

@[email protected] it’s not my favorite no…

Feeding an AI more AI content to eventually cause AI collapse. I like it.

@[email protected] Figured it would be faster than writing an article about it or shooting a short on YouTube 😄

@[email protected] If we had regulators with any teeth, we’d have a system to push back against issues like these…

Huh. I think you have to go a ways back for T-Mobile support. Like the X Compact?
I think the last carrier they worked with was VZW for mmWave on the XPERIA pro. Other than that, theyve only been unlocked devices over the last six years.

@[email protected] People with taste often appreciated what the XPERIA could do.

@[email protected] It’s kind of a running theme on tech YouTube these days. Tech “enthusiasts” motivated to comment on videos only appreciate the popularity of product.

If a company is less popular, it doesn’t matter if they have useful or fun features, those features are never “worth it”. Especially if those features aren’t on a more popular phone.

So an XPERIA is often made fun of for having a headphone jack and memory card expansion, and a shutter button has to be mocked.

It’s all fanbois and bias confirmation. The rational people aren’t leaving comments like they used to, because why would they?
