Ask Music” is the name of the AI prompt-based conversational radio in YouTube Music, and it’s seeing wider availability, including internationally, in recent weeks.

The feature appears as a purple card in the Home feed, like Create a radio or the banner advertising the availability of the June – August 2024 recap. Tapping launches a fullscreen chat UI with accepted prompts ranging from a few words — 80s inspired indie, Dreamy synthpop, Saddest songs, etc. — to sentences. 

After a few seconds, you get a playlist card with YTM translating that query into a shorter title and longer description. It auto-plays the first track by default with the ability to save to your library, and provide feedback.

The last time I had tried some 4-5years I would hardly get any surveys. I figured it was s waste of time. So, uninstalled the app.

People still use this app?

Can't you use the website instead? Is the MCDonalds app necessary for orders? I use hermit to sandbox webapps for services which do not require a app.

According to the below two articles. It's 1-5 meters in optimal conditions. And some of it may require additional hardware for tracking.

That 2gb can make the difference between apps being reloaded or not. 6GB is the barely minimum if you use your phone more than just a phone. In a few years 8GB will be the new minimum.

This is the correct answer. I made a 1.5 minute long phone call. Before recording, the phone app used 152mb of storage space. But, after call recording it increased to 154mb.

Super fast charging damaging your batteries hasn't been true for a while. Charging standards like supervooc push the heat to the charger and charge two battery cells simultaneously. This reduces heat generation significantly than if you were to charge traditionally. My 15w samsung smartphone generates much more heat while charging compared to my 67w realme smartphone which stays cooler even while charging at quadruple of speeds.

Other smartphones slow the charging rate when the display is on. Phones which support supervooc can charge your phone at the same speed regardless of display being on or off.

My phone also has a smart charging feature where it can slow charge the battery at night & limit it to 80%. In the morning just before I remove the phone from the charger it will finish charging to 100%.

Spotify has to support the DTI for it to work. Considering, Spotify's business model. I doubt they would support.

I quite enjoyed reading their in-depth tech coverage. Especially, in the early days when theyvcovered smartphones. There won't be a 2nd anandtech in history for a long time to come.

They should release their articles as a torrent to conserve the long history of anandtech.

 

Through a new joint initiative, Google and Apple are making it possible to transfer playlists between Apple Music and YouTube Music in either direction using the “Data Transfer Project.”

This new option arrives via Google and Apple both using the “Data Transfer Project” stack which was developed by the two companies as a part of the Data Transfer Initiative, of which both Google and Apple are members. This same ongoing partnership has also previously delivered the photo-sharing tool used to transfer photos and videos from iCloud to Google Photos.

In a blog post, the Data Transfer Initiative (DTI) teases that other services may join in time, saying:

Portability is a hard problem, and no tool can be perfect. But at DTI, our ambition – shared with our partners – is to build and ship best-in-class offerings for direct portability. We believe we have accomplished that goal with this newest DTP-powered tool, and we’re proud that users of Apple Music and YouTube Music can now transfer playlists between those services, free of charge, with a high quality experience. We hope and anticipate that other services will join us in this journey over time

Yeah, I noticed this yesterday when I saw 3 apps being downloaded and updated simultaneously.

One downside I noticed was play store became too slow to do anything else and super glitchy – like pressing the update details button didn't do anything. The animation was slowed down and I couldn't load anything else in a jiffy.

When it finally started to accept user inputs pressing back it was existing the updates page and still being on the updates page. Apparently, it opened the updates view multiple times I had to close the play store app and re-open to fix the issue.

So, while it can do simultaneously updates its not glitch free and has bugs in general.

It's cheap for a reason. Samsung's equivalent smartphone are more going to be more expensive in comparison.

 

Here's the youtube videi link: https://youtu.be/oJ9Z_bbH0NQ?si=QcgH4AnRL2tG5Hj7

 

TL;DR

  • The Samsung Galaxy Ring supports Qi2 charging according to a certification filing.
  • Despite this, the Galaxy Ring’s charging case doesn’t magnetically attach to any Qi2 chargers or MagSafe accessories.
  • This is because the case doesn’t have any magnets.

TL;DR

  • Google has confirmed to us that the Pixel Watch 3 can’t be repaired and can only be replaced.
  • This is bad news for environmental reasons, suggesting that broken watches will end up in landfills.
  • This isn’t the first Pixel Watch model that can’t be repaired, though.
