- Comment on What water bottles are completely free from the problem of weird chipping/shavings of the material which could put material in the water, even when dropping it or when using Bottle Bright tablets? 1 day ago:
I have never encountered a water bottle getting chipped or leaving shavings.
I’ve heard of people complain that steel bottles that use steel tops “scrape” together when you are using the lids, and that can cause metal particles to shed into the water.
That’s one of the reasons why most steel bottles have plastic lids.
- Comment on Robot performs first realistic surgery without human help: System trained on videos of surgeries performs like an expert surgeon 3 days ago:
If you read how they programmed this robot, it seems that it can anticipate things like that. Also keep in mind that this is only designed to do one type of surgery.
I’m cautiously optimist.
I’d still expect human supervision, though.
- Comment on Robot performs first realistic surgery without human help: System trained on videos of surgeries performs like an expert surgeon 3 days ago:
Being trained on videos means it has no ability to adapt, improvise, or use knowledge during the surgery.
- Comment on PSA: If the first Smart Search in Immich takes a while 4 days ago:
Interesting, it’s slightly slower for me through the web interface both with a direct connect to my network, or when proxied through the internet. Still, we’re talking seconds here, and the results are so accurate!
Immich has effectively replaced the (expensive) Windows software Excire Foto, which I was using for on-device contextual search because Synology Photos search just sucks. Excire isn’t ideal to run from Linux because it has to be done through a VM, so I’m happy to self-host Immich and be able to use it even while out of the house.
- Comment on PSA: If the first Smart Search in Immich takes a while 4 days ago:
OK, indexing finished some time yesterday and I ran a few searches like:
“Child wearing glasses indoors”
“Cars with no wheels”
“Woman riding a bike”
Results come up (immich on android) in three seconds.
But the quality of the results do appear to be considerably better with ViT-B-16-SigLIP2__webli compared to the default model.
I’m pretty happy. 👍
- Comment on PSA: If the first Smart Search in Immich takes a while 6 days ago:
Search speed was never an issue before, and neither was quality. My biggest gripe is not being able to sort search by date! If I had that, it would be perfect.
But I’ll update you once it’s done (at 97,000 to go… )
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 6 days ago:
You’d be permanently destroying that land, and any waterways in the area, so is that really a solution?
And if the land isn’t already fertile, you need to set up alternative land to grow the food for those cows… then import the water…
This is not sustainable, and should be discouraged.
- Comment on PSA: If the first Smart Search in Immich takes a while 6 days ago:
I decided on the ViT-B-16-SigLIP2__webli model, so switched to that last night. I also needed to update my server to the latest version of Immich, so a new smart search job was run late last night.
Out of 140,000+ photos/videos, it’s down to 104,000 and I have it set to 6 concurrent tasks.
I don’t mind it processing for 24h. I believe when I first set immich up, the smart search took many days. I’m still able to use the app and website to navigate and search without any delays.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 6 days ago:
That’s like saying “it’s more ethical if Nazis killed only adults, because they take up more space than kids in a gas chamber.”
The needless suffering and killing of any animal is horrifically unethical, and if we can, we should actively stop participating in it.
There are a ton of mental gymnastics used to justify the consumption of animals. Almost none apply to modern civilization.
- Comment on YSK that apart from not having a car, the single greatest thing you can do for the climate is simply eating less red meat 6 days ago:
You can never make animal production green. The amount of clear-cutting needed for beef as an example would blow your mind. Then you factor in the ground, air, and water pollution from these factory farms, and you’ve just fucked up into entire regions, just to sustain a food source that isn’t even needed.
- Comment on PSA: If the first Smart Search in Immich takes a while 1 week ago:
Seemed to be the most popular. LOL The smart search job hasn’t been running for long, so I’ll check that other one out and see how it compares. If it looks better, I can easily use that.
- Comment on PSA: If the first Smart Search in Immich takes a while 1 week ago:
Running now.
- Comment on PSA: If the first Smart Search in Immich takes a while 1 week ago:
That’s a Celeron right?
Yup, the Intel J4125 Celeron 4-Core CPU, 2.0-2.7Ghz.
I switched to the ViT-SO400M-16-SigLIP2-384__webli model, same as what you use. I don’t worry about processing time, but it looks like a more capable model, and I really only use immich for contextual search anyway, so that might be a nice upgrade.
- Comment on PSA: If the first Smart Search in Immich takes a while 1 week ago:
Is this something that would be recommended if self-hosting off a Synology 920+ NAS?
My NAS does have extra ram to spare because I upgraded it, and has NVME cache 🤗
- Comment on Samsung phones can survive twice as many charges as Pixel and iPhone, according to EU data 1 week ago:
I was shocked when my new realme, which uses the same tech, didn’t even break 30°C while charging at 8+ Amps (should be around 80W). This was in a relatively warm room (25°C) and using the case that came with it
That’s impressive. I’m looking at my phone now, not charging, but the screen is on, and it’s at 33C. LOL
AccuBattery needs a session to have 60% charged, so <20% to 80% works. Doesn’t need to be every single one.
It’s rare for me to get that low, even while charging to 80%. 😵
But yeah, every so often I’ll let it drain, then do a 100% charge to see what’s up. I don’t like doing that, because even Accubattery says that takes up more of a charge cycle than charging conservatively.
I do like the trend chart, although, the battery health on that actually went UP 5% between March and May 😱
- Comment on Samsung phones can survive twice as many charges as Pixel and iPhone, according to EU data 1 week ago:
And my feeling is that they aren’t using the gains from this to make the batteries last, as SUPERVOOC is faster than pretty much every other standard. That makes me think they turned in any and all gains in battery health, for speed.
There is a setting to explicitly benefit from using an official charger and cable, but I don’t know if it’s on by default (it’s disabled on my phone).
That said, the heat while charging is about the same as the heat from holding the phone in my hand (around 38C), and doesn’t get much hotter than that while gaming thanks to pass-through charging.
My Samsung was definitely hotter, and would overheat if charging while doing anything like GPS navigation. But my last Samsung was a Note 10+, and so things may have very well changed since then.
You may want to use something like AccuBattery
Already do, and have for years.
But AccuBattery doesn’t seem to play nice with the OP13, with many users reporting lower battery health from the start (80-90%), and inaccurate capacity (<1000 mAh less than the designed capacity).
Coupled with the fact that it’s only accurate if you are constantly charging from below 15% to 100%, these are ranges that I rarely get my phone into.
Even though battery longevity is important to me, since I no longer replace my phones “every year”, it really would be best if these damn things had user-replaceable batteries that were readily available. 😫
- Comment on Samsung phones can survive twice as many charges as Pixel and iPhone, according to EU data 1 week ago:
Isn’t one plus one of the brands that has their own fast charging tech, that’s extra fast?
Yes, but…
OnePlus offloads speed into the charger, so the phone actually doesn’t get hot while charging. This fact alone would IMPROVE charge cycles, even at fast speeds.
But OnePlus also uses quite a few “tricks” to preserve battery health. Did the test include those features or did they turn them off. And if they turned them off, did they do the same with the Samsung phones (which have similar battery-health preserving options)?
I’ve had my OP13 since the day it came out (around 5-6 months) and keep it charged to 80% (built-in feature) and only charge it to 100% when I’ll be out for the day and need to use GPS with max screen brightness. Battery health is still 100%.
I’ve owned a lot of Samsung phones before that, and the battery health was the only reason I’ve needed to replace them. So, I’m glad to see that the EU is taking charge cycles into account.
One piece of the puzzle that the numbers don’t mention, is that the smaller battery of the Samsung phones means you’ll be charging more often (i.e. more charge cycles) vs. something like a OP13 with a larger battery and excellent battery life (i.e. fewer charge cycles for the same use). Maybe that balances things out, but I’m still shocked that Sammy can get 1000 more charge cycles, which is YEARS more battery health than the other brands.

1,000 charge cycles: OnePlus 13
Hmm. This one has newer silicone-carbon lithium-ion batteries, which should actually increase charge cycles, so what’s happening here?

I’ll turn to spray paint and vandalism is we ever reach that kind of ad hellscape.
- Comment on Fairphone announces the €599 Fairphone 6, with a 6.31" 120Hz LTPO OLED display, a Snapdragon 7s Gen 3 chip, and enhanced modularity with 12 swappable parts 2 weeks ago:
They don’t. You have to get them from a place that imports like PDA Plaza out of Quebec (I’ve used them before).
To me, that’s a dealbreaker, because you lose the benefit of getting replacement parts easily.
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxi Freaks Out and Drives into Oncoming Traffic on First Day 3 weeks ago:
Tesla vehicles are specifically singled out, because as far as I know, they are the only autonomous vehicle that uses cameras instead of Lidar.
And the Tesla company has a habit of cover ups, falsifying or manipulating crash data, and fraud.
I don’t trust any autonomous car on public roads, but some are considerably more trustworthy than Teslas.
FWIW, you can buy robot vacuums for your home with more advanced object detection than a robotaxi. 🫤
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxi Freaks Out and Drives into Oncoming Traffic on First Day 3 weeks ago:
I mean given their track record
That’s my point. Tesla (the company) has been notorious for pushing forward their deadly “self-driving” technology. It’s one of the worst automated systems on the planet, with plenty of tests, reports, and real-world incidences to raise red flags all over the place.
They SHOULD NOT be on the road, so are they only on the road because Musk was able to influence someone?
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxi Freaks Out and Drives into Oncoming Traffic on First Day 3 weeks ago:
I mean, if they weren’t as buggy as they clearly already are, then sure… do a point system.
But as they stand, they shouldn’t be on the road.
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxi Freaks Out and Drives into Oncoming Traffic on First Day 3 weeks ago:
Ah, Ok.
I agree with accountability, but not with the point system. That’s almost like a “three strikes” rule for drunk drivers.
That’s not really accountability, that’s handing out free passes.
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxi Freaks Out and Drives into Oncoming Traffic on First Day 3 weeks ago:
Was it? I didn’t read a single hint of adding accountability in the article.
But that begs the question: shouldn’t accountability be in place now, and not maybe at some point in the distant future? They are already on the road.
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxi Freaks Out and Drives into Oncoming Traffic on First Day 3 weeks ago:
How about we leave the driving to people, and not pre-alpha software?
There’s no accountability for this horribly dangerous driving, so they shouldn’t be on the road. Period.
- Comment on Tesla Robotaxi Freaks Out and Drives into Oncoming Traffic on First Day 3 weeks ago:
Fucking hell. We don’t let drunks drive taxis, and that goddamn thing drove like it was under the influence.
Does Tesla get sent tickets for traffic violations, or are we OK with this?
- Comment on YSK: WD-40 is perfect for removing adhesive left behind by stickers 3 weeks ago:
Yeah, isopropyl alcohol is probably the best because it doesn’t leave any residue behind like oil, wd40, and other adhesive removers do.
- Comment on The hidden cost of self-hosting 4 weeks ago:
You don’t even have to be old. Death or serious illness/injury can affect us at any age, and it would suck if your family lost access to all the self-hosted photos and videos, for example.
“Make it usable” is a great idea.
- Comment on YouTube rolls out more unskippable ads that make viewers wait even longer to watch videos - Dexerto 4 weeks ago:
Sounds good, but if I search “microwave repair” or “improve vo2max” , it comes up with zero results.
That’s the sort of stuff we’d lose if creators don’t move away from YouTube. 😟
