Because people don't understand the difference between using ChatGPT running in a datacenter somewhere via API calls and having a tiny model actually running on device.
Even quantized down to 4bit the best 7B models barely run locally on the best mobile hardware that exists today. GPT4 is ~250x larger than that 7B model lol
Yeah, I like the camera bump on my Pixel Fold since it shouldn't go all the way across the back and is still square-ish. These are similar but worse. Pixel 6 was peak design IMO.
Casting from your phone is occasionally convenient but for everyday TV/movie watching it's way more clunky than Android TV. And you can't really browse for something to watch together with someone else on a phone.
Security-wise that is significantly worse. Google Pay generates a random card number per transaction and isn't active when the phone is locked.
I keep my credit cards in an NFC blocking sleeves because the passive NFC can't be turned off. Someone could literally bump into you and cause a transaction.

I'm in California and it's been years since I've been somewhere that didn't have Apple/Google Pay at the register. I don't shop there but Walmart is the only place I know of that doesn't have it (because they track users via credit card).
The only real annoying thing here is that restaurants still take your card instead of bringing the machine to your table like they do in Canada and Europe.
Not to be a dick, but how/why is that useful? It's not a package I need to physically go get or something. It's deposited into an account (super fast if you do your taxes early). This also assumes I'm getting a refund.
I have found the translation from camera source feature useful in Google Translate and I use it from time to time. Last night was one such occasion, yet when I attempted to enable camera mode, I received the message shown in the screenshot, "Please install the latest Google app in order to use camera translation". I currently...
