First Look at OnePlus 12 Dead Mosquito Edition

OnePlus 12 is IP65 rated & it's Quality Control is pretty bad

Several OnePlus 12 owners have reported gaps b/w the OnePlus 12 camera housing & it's body.
Few users have reported an excess amount of glue around the camera housing.

A user OnePlus 12 unit even has a "dead mosquito" inside & on the other side, there’s also a "hair" stuck under the glass.

OnePlus China's president claimed that it is NOT a design or quality issue & even the IP65 rating won't be affected

"Devices are built with certain tolerance in mind & due to the different thermal expansion & contraction coefficients of different materials in mass production requirements, they might fail sometimes"

RIP Google Podcasts

Google Podcasts will stop working in the US “as early as April 2024,” in favor of YouTube Music

" In YouTube Music, you will be able to listen to your podcasts just like you did on Google Podcasts, NO paid subnoscription required."

Google Podcasts will get an online tool soon to “Export subnoscriptions” to YouTube Music
There will be an option to export Google Podcasts subnoscriptions as an OPML file if you want to switch to a 3rd-party app.

For podcasts that aren’t currently available on YouTube, listeners will be able to add shows directly to their YouTube Music library via the podcast’s RSS feed

" We’ll share more about Google Podcasts’ availability and the release of this migration tool for other countries soon."

Apple launched AirPods Pro USB-C case for lightning port case users

Back in September, Apple introduced a new version of the ‌AirPods Pro‌ 2nd gen with USB-C Charging Case priced at 250$

It is basically the SAME as Airpods Pro 2nd Gen but comes with an IP54 rating & USB-C case instead of a lightning port.

It even features Apple's Lossless Audio codec with ultra-low latency, BUT the codec only works with Apple Vision Pro XR Headset which costs 3500$ LOL

Now, for users having lighting port Airpods Pro 2nd Gen, Apple has launched a USB-C case for the same priced at 100$

Good for users who want to have Type-C charging for their lightning port Airpods & at the same time also good for Apple to make more money.
However, Mother Nature will be upset now (iykyk)

AI is Scary!

Researchers from the Alibaba Group, have unveiled character animation technology ‘Animate Anyone’, which can transform still images into dynamic character videos.

The model works by extracting details such as patterns, facial features, poses, etc. Based on these details, a series of images is created where the details are mapped onto various poses.
These are later motion-captured or extracted from another video.

With the previous image-to-video models, hallucination was one of the major problems, as the model was expected to create minute details of how a sleeve or hair might move when a person turns.

Animate Anyone has improved a lot on this problem, although it's still not perfect

This is good and scary at the same because just by using someone's high-quality image, you could make an animated video of the person with facial expressions & voice

A lot of deep-fake videos might emerge now on TikTok, Instagram, XXX sites, etc after the model gets deployed successfully

Forwarded from Nothing Fuckups
After two failed repairs on a 3 month old device, Nothing finally agreed to give a phone replacement 4 days before a legal complaint being filed.

This resolution came after 55 days of denying a replacement, but came with two clauses which are unacceptable:
1. Remove all posts about Nothing on Twitter
2. Withdraw the legal claim sent to India's National Consumer Helpline which was sent 41 days earlier

Nothing is extorting unsatisfied consumers with an ultimatum that prevents other buyers from knowing flaws in products they want to purchase.

I know this is India where consumer rights aren't as good as in the EU/US, but is this really a company worth buying from?

Google will allow users to remove At A Glance from homescreen on Pixel Launcher
Source

Google's Pixel launcher features Smartspace, which is a container in Android for displaying information.
Smartspace is similar to a widget, but it integrates with installed apps & has access to system-level permissions.

One of the Smartspaces introduced in Android 12 is "At a Glance" which shows information like Time, Date, Weather, etc on the lockscreen, AOD, or homescreen of the device

Now, Pixel Launcher is finally getting a toggle that will let users HIDE the At a Glance widget from the home screen.
After the widget is hidden, ANY widget can be placed over that space as well

Additionally, the Pixel launcher will also allow users to move the At a Glance widget around on the homescreen and even rearrange it!

Now, NO need to use Magisk modules to remove at a glance or custom launchers
These changes are spotted in QPR 2 Beta

Google Pixel 9 will feature the new 'Pixie Assistant'
Source

Google Assistant is the most powerful Assistant out of all others available on smartphones

Google is even integrating Bard into Google Assistant and since it is an Android Feature, it will be available on all Android devices

Now, Google is developing "Pixie", a new AI assistant, exclusive to Google Pixels
Pixie will be powered by Gemini, Google's most powerful data model

Some of the features of Pixie would be that it can pull information from Gmail, Maps, and other “data from Google products” on your phone to “evolve into a far more personalized version of the Google Assistant.”

Pixie aims to perform “complex and multimodal tasks, such as suggesting directions to the closest store where someone can buy a product they have photographed.”

Google might even bring those AI features to “its lower-end phones and devices like its Pixel watch.”

Pixie could be the Next Gen Version of Assistant with Bard
