Other than for storing videos and photos taken with your phone, is there a reason to even need more than 256GB on a phone? People with more than 256GB, what do you use your extra capacity for not including the videos and photos you take with it?
>>
the videos I put onto it, music, ps1 roms are 700mb a pop, and I did put an LLM on there but didn't get it working
>>
Card storage made this all moot.
They removed it just to charge you more for built in storage and force cloud usage where they can have control of your data.

What are some Android apps you use on your Android tablets or phones that are pretty nifty. Bonus if they are open source. For me, it's Osmand for hiking maps, and Tubular for watching video without ads with the added sponsorblock.

What nifty Android apps do you guys use that turned out to be pretty useful?

Does anyone know a decent gallery app? I've tried Fossify gallery and Aves, they both sucks but Aves is the least worst so I'm using that.

Is ther a way I can get the Osmand TTS / rhvoice to use the Japanese voice but in English? I was so happy when I realized that I could manually set the Siri voice that way by editing one of the plists on my Mac, and then that also synced over to my old iPhone for navigation.

This is a one line shellscript on a Mac.
pandoc -f epub -t txt ebook.epub | say -o audiobook.aiff && ffmpeg -i audiobook.aiff audiobook.mp3

Linux has "espeak" to do something similar to "say" that dumps to WAV rather than AIFF.
An AI would get you a more realistic narrator voice but that's it.

It was worth it. I'm not one of these people who cares about internet points, but it was getting massively upvoted before the moderators removed it. So there's at least desire to have a media player that doesn't scream "I love gay anal" when you boot it up. Hopefully people downloaded it before the mods nuked it. The funny thing is before I even built it, there were posts for people asking for it without the pride logo, But it's only when people fulfill that request that they get nuked.

Here is my latest haul of CHINK SHIT. We are not bending the knee to you "chinese shopping" faggots.
From left to right,
>Screen glue for replacement screen

>Gopro sticky mount
For my sister's snowboard helmet, I taught her recently to snowboard and want to get some footage of me, but she's not good enough to hold a camera and board at the same time yet.
>Electric terminal blocks
I only need 1, but the minimum was 3, hopefully this is the final piece I need to finish up my tv ambilight setup properly
>OnePlus 13 screen replacement
As mentioned. I was so pissed, it broke in my pocket and I don't even remember how. I fell off an escooter into it in my pocket and it escaped without a scratch, but then something random did it in. I guess that's just bad luck
>Magnetic window mesh covers.
When I moved in, 3 of the 4 bedrooms in my house had magnetic mosquito nets over the windows, but my roommate said he'd like one for his room now that it's summer here and mosquitos are out and about. Got 2 because parents said "should cool, get us one to try it out"
>Phone case and belt holster
Both for my dad and his S21. Inexplicably he likes the belt holsters instead of just putting his phone in his pocket like a normal person, but whatever, that's what he likes. His old phone case was looking ratty too
Overall I'm going to rate it a 4/10. Mostly boring shit, but the dead pixels and green line down my phone screen is driving me crazy, so that's where the points are coming from

It's as popular as it can get as it's primarily used in corporated and gaming as those are Windows .NET dominated industries.
Technically C# is multiplatform, but unless it's used as a scripting language inside a game engine, it relies too much on Microsoft's .NET to be used on Linux, Android, Apple's ecosystem and multiplatform open source projects.

>Song submission rules/guidelines
Upload the file somewhere, preferably in a lossless format, and post the link here. If you want to update your track, make a new post.
Include the song title in the post, and make it clear that your song is a submission for the album.
Optionally you may include cover art for your track, but please confirm that the image in your post is the cover art or it won't be included. You may not use your real artist name.
Songs that contain anything against YouTube's policies won't be uploaded on YT, but will still be added to the album.
By default, tracks will be normalised to -14 LUFS (integrated loudness) in the release. You may specify a lower loudness for your track.
Use of AI is banned. This includes AI generated stems, samples, and effects. "AI" includes all neural network-based models and not hard-coded automation/procedural generation. You are allowed to ask an LLM about music-related questions, but asking it to give you musical ideas (eg. generating a chord progression) is already a no-no.

The s25 is generally better than the pixel 10 but for general usage they're both more than powerful enough and you get the unlimited customization that comes with android anyway so you really can't go wrong with either. Get whichever is cheapest.

What if AI won’t be able to advance much further beyond what it is now do to the astronomical resource consumption? What if we just run out of the shit that keeps it going? What then?

My point is that anything that actually requires any sort of reasoning ends up inevitably requiring hand written human logic. These are autoregressive parrots and next word predictors. If your job is able to actually be replaced with AI in a permanent fashion, it is because a random guessing machine could outperform your reasoning abilities.

>AI does ZERO useful things.
Absolutely wrong. Even as a non-coder, I use it almost every day to rewrite my meeting notes, forecast project roadmaps, rewrite my shitty emails before I send them, troubleshoot log files, message headers. Generate simple scripts for mundane tasks. It's also great at explaining sci/math concepts. All this using only the free version, which just limits your tokens.

Currently playing with a 5090 and LM studio using smaller local models from google and chatgpt, also free by the way, but much more limited and not as accurate as the cloud versions.

You're just a luddite.
