I'm doing some research on a suite of benchmarking tests for phones. . .and im really curious to see what everyone is looking for

hey #Android community!

What type of data do you want to see in a benchmark video? storage tests? pcmark work 2.0/3.0 runs? app launch/interaction laps? gpu profile graphs? battery endurance tests?

The Shizuku Manager is now out of beta!

I've been working on the Shizuku Manager for 80bee.com

Now, the site offers Android folks a number of ways to help keep that service running in the background

A pleasant conversation between a low intelligence Chosen One and Torr in Fallout 2

My favourite detail about Fallout 2 is that if you're playing as a low intelligence character, you'll have moments like these where you and other equally dumb characters can have a normal conversation

Georgia railroad wins eminent domain case against property owners Property owners plan to ask for reconsideration, appeal to state Supreme Court.

When your government allows a private company to take someone's property, home, and land...rather than helping to protect the citizens...you know they are not on your side anymore

That's just fucking heartbreaking

Folks will definitely write an agent that can try to fill the "make it break" role. A big video game company already has plans to route most QA testing through LLMs

Today I learned that Excel incorrectly assumes 1900 was a leap year, and Microsoft will never fix it because the whole house of cards would collapse Luckily, most users don't build spreadsheets focused on 1900.

This type of technical debt is going to become so prevalent with vibe coding projects start to become used by the masses

And the more I use Codex. . .the more I notice missing features from Antigravity.

Just wait until I get Claude Code installed and setup. . .

@developers.google.com these restricted limits are not doing your service any favors

The more time Antigravity tells me my Gemini Pro/Claude tokens are done for the week. . .the more I feel the temptation to switch to another LLM provider.

More reasons to love Firefox: What’s new now, and what’s coming soon | The Mozilla Blog Firefox is for people who make their own choices online, from what stays private to the tools that help get things done. That commitment to choice shows up
