Phones are like 💻 now. The year-to-year improvements are tiny. Some factors related to this –
At least for folks like me who sometimes read re chips, chip improvements are 👍. But big year-to-year improvements are probably hard. If it was easy, Apple or Qualcomm may have already made a chip that was 2 or 3 times faster than the old 1.
So hard to have a clean implementation of under-screen cam and face recognition sensors. Hence, hole punch. Samsung fold has an under-screen front cam but the implemention wasn't clean and the pic quality is below average.
So hard to make a 🔋 that's 2 or 3 times better than the old 🔋. The tech world has been so hungry for a 🔋 innovation for a long time. There was optimism re graphene. Idk if it'll succeed in mass production.

A traditional soldering iron in my nation costs about PHP 450 (about USD 7.95). The portability, accelerometer, temp control, easy repair and the ability to solder while charging a phone are 👍, but USD 250 is so high.

Ublock origin – best ad blocker
Aside from Firefox + Ublock origin, I have Firefox focus. Its ad blocker has let thru disappointingly many ads.

Sm supermarket and Puregold. 0.25 is so low that I haven't cared re it.
Revolutionary. Props to Youtube. I guess Alphabet was the 1st to have the auto-generated English subtitle feature? I think Youtube is the only 1 that has Filipino now. Windows 11 and Samsung oneui have the auto-generated English subtitle feature now. I hope they'll have Filipino.

There was a point in game 1 of the finals (Liquid versus Gaimin) when Liquid slew dyrachyo. Then Ace went near the Liquid heroes. It was 5 versus 4. Why did Ace go near Liquid? Did he throw?
Liquid dominated games 1–3. Micke was reliable. Nisha was all over the place doing damage versus the Gaimin heroes. 33 was a 👍 offlane. It was like Liquid had 2 mids, Nisha and 33. Boxi and Insania were 👍 supports. Boxi Tusk was 1 of the best Tusk I've seen.

Valve doesn't organize majors anymore right? I'm not monitoring the Dota 2 news so Idk. I know Valve didn't do a pro circuit point system for 2024. Then they said they were still focused on The international. Why did they give the keys to PGL? It's already so :( that they don't do True sight anymore. Dota 2 probably isn't high on the list of their profit sources but I hope they'll still give it a moderate amount of care.

Speaking of Jollibee, I'm so :) that their patty steak with 🍚 is still 60 and tuna pie still 50. And they have mix and match. Of course there are many karinderia that sell cheap food, but when I want cheap fastfood, I'm so :) there's Jollibee.

Why is Firefox getting involved in ads? 💵? To reduce their dependence on Google's payment for keeping Google as the default search engine?

Just strive and you'll reach your goal. :)
I wanted to know which Bluetooth earphones have the best mic. I found a Youtube vid. The Youtuber said the *Nothing ear 2* have the best mic. Then I viewed Mike O'Brien's *Nothing ear 2* review. 👍 mic, per his review. The *Nothing ear 2* are about ₱ 8200 on Shopee and Lazada and about ₱ 5900 on amazon.co.jp. :o I hope *Nothing* will offer that 5900 deal here.

I get you. Studying can be hard if you're aiming for very high grades or the school is giving you a lot of homework or projects. My college life was tiring too. I had many nights with 0 or little 💤, in contrast to my work where I had 1 sleepless night only. (I observed that my face was oilier when I had 0 💤 compared to normal 💤.) Instant ☕ was my pal. In college I was so busy studying that I didn't have time for organizations.
Please up your confidence re your intelligence. Humans are learners. It's OK to take time in digesting a hard topic and to err sometimes. Please think re the future. The path is uphill. You'll improve. You'll be smarter.

About 10 years ago, my usb drive was Fat32 by default. I changed it to Ntfs due to Fat32's 4-GB cap. 1080p movies that were over 4 GB (for each movie) were getting more widespread then. I'm still using Ntfs.

I'm thinking re [the latest vid of @mindyourdecisions](https://y2u.be/FeMeSRsGKWc) No need to view his vid. Here's the problem – > Brian has some boxes of paper clips. Some boxes hold 10 clips and some boxes hold 100. He has some paper clips left over. He has 3 more boxes with 100 paper clips than he has boxes with 10 paper clips. He has 2 fewer paper clips left over than he has numbers of boxes with 100 paper clips. What number of paper clips could he have? * let x1 be the number of boxes with 10 clips * x2 be the number of boxes with 100 clips * n be the number of leftover clips I thought of 100x2 = 10x1 + 300 Is that equation right? Something tells me I shouldn't equate 100x2 to 10x1 plus 300. Something tells me I shouldn't make an equation re number of clips as it isn't explicit in the problem. I'm confused.
I googled how to prevent spawning weeds, wood or stones from wrecking scarecrows. I read re paths. But weeds can wreck any floor or path. I thought of surrounding a scarecrow with hardwood fence. I asked a large language model (llm) if that works. The llm said yes. True? A scarecrow doesn't need so many resources but I don't wanna remake a scarecrow each time a weed, wood or a stone wrecks it.

Some Intel 13th and 14th gen desktop processors have been failing. It's big news. Per Intel, the root causes for the 13th gen are excessive voltage and oxidation issue. The root cause for the 14th gen is excessive voltage. They'll release a patch to fix the voltage issue. The oxidation is a manufacturing issue so it's a big deal. Can't be fixed with any software update. Intel's statement lacked details. They didn't say which specific processors are problematic and the specific batches of processors with the oxidation issue. Their statement re the oxidation had a contradiction. This is just Intel's statement and this whole thing may be bigger than what it seems. I'm wondering if there are many Filipinos experiencing failures. I guess 💻 is more famous than desktop in 🇵🇭, but there are Filipino desktop enthusiasts. Anyone here who had a failure?
