Is the accuracy as high as with other aspect of AI, e.g. LLMs answering with 90% correctness?

I'll just use GrayJay, thanks.

sudotstar , in Qualcomm wants OEMs to have easier time updating Android

I'm cautiously optimistic about this, because Qualcomm has been actually putting in some work to get the mainline Linux kernel more supported on their Snapdragon X Elite laptop CPU: https://www.tomshardware.com/software/linux/qualcomm-goes-where-apple-wont-readies-official-linux-support-for-snapdragon-x-elite. This doesn't necessarily mean the same benefits will come to their mobile chipsets, but I'm hopeful that there is some runoff benefit from their new laptop efforts here.

While I do not expect to see Android devices with future Snapdragon 8 Gen 4 chipsets immediately booting mainline kernels on release, this might be a step towards achieving something closer to that. Those efforts will certainly make it easier for phone manufacturers to release updated kernels, and therefore Android releases, for their devices, or at least stop using Qualcomm as the excuse for not doing so (see e.g. Fairphone 4's software support roadmap: https://support.fairphone.com/hc/en-us/articles/9979180437393-Fairphone-OS).

I wouldn't use those features even if they were available for everyone.

Why the hell do you need a pip window to watch a 30 seconds video while you do something else?

Why would you let the app automatically download garbage shorts that the algorithm decided that you are going to like

Would be nice if they would implement a sponsor block type feature, but I doubt we will ever see that happen.

Revanced has that, as well as a load of other features. Can be used without root access these days.

Unrelated, but I just found out there's a .youtube TLD. Not sure how to feel about this.

Some features of premium actually sound really interesting, but I find myself struggling to reconcile my interest in both those features and the general idea of an internet that isn't built upon ads with my strong dislike of Google and a sincere wish to give them as little money as possible.

Save your wallet and install Newpipe.

lolrightythen ,

I've just started using newpipe and it's great. I download audiobooks easily for when I'm working overnights and a few rooms get no mobile data
