  • I decided on the ViT-B-16-SigLIP2__webli model, so switched to that last night. I also needed to update my server to the latest version of Immich, so a new smart search job was run late last night.

    Out of 140,000+ photos/videos, it's down to 104,000 and I have it set to 6 concurrent tasks.

    I don't mind it processing for 24h. I believe when I first set immich up, the smart search took many days. I'm still able to use the app and website to navigate and search without any delays.

  • Seemed to be the most popular. LOL The smart search job hasn't been running for long, so I'll check that other one out and see how it compares. If it looks better, I can easily use that.

  • Running now.

  • That’s a Celeron right?

    Yup, the Intel J4125 Celeron 4-Core CPU, 2.0-2.7Ghz.

    I switched to the ViT-SO400M-16-SigLIP2-384__webli model, same as what you use. I don't worry about processing time, but it looks like a more capable model, and I really only use immich for contextual search anyway, so that might be a nice upgrade.

  • Is this something that would be recommended if self-hosting off a Synology 920+ NAS?

    My NAS does have extra ram to spare because I upgraded it, and has NVME cache 🤗

  • These articles are all full of shit. Unless Tesla's stock drops to zero, they're doing just fine. In fact, their stock has been going up since all this bullshit started happening. It's unbelievable.

  • I was shocked when my new realme, which uses the same tech, didn’t even break 30°C while charging at 8+ Amps (should be around 80W). This was in a relatively warm room (25°C) and using the case that came with it

    That's impressive. I'm looking at my phone now, not charging, but the screen is on, and it's at 33C. LOL

    AccuBattery needs a session to have 60% charged, so <20% to 80% works. Doesn’t need to be every single one.

    It's rare for me to get that low, even while charging to 80%. 😵

    But yeah, every so often I'll let it drain, then do a 100% charge to see what's up. I don't like doing that, because even Accubattery says that takes up more of a charge cycle than charging conservatively.

    I do like the trend chart, although, the battery health on that actually went UP 5% between March and May 😱

  • And my feeling is that they aren’t using the gains from this to make the batteries last, as SUPERVOOC is faster than pretty much every other standard. That makes me think they turned in any and all gains in battery health, for speed.

    There is a setting to explicitly benefit from using an official charger and cable, but I don't know if it's on by default (it's disabled on my phone).

    That said, the heat while charging is about the same as the heat from holding the phone in my hand (around 38C), and doesn't get much hotter than that while gaming thanks to pass-through charging.

    My Samsung was definitely hotter, and would overheat if charging while doing anything like GPS navigation. But my last Samsung was a Note 10+, and so things may have very well changed since then.

    You may want to use something like AccuBattery

    Already do, and have for years.

    But AccuBattery doesn't seem to play nice with the OP13, with many users reporting lower battery health from the start (80-90%), and inaccurate capacity (<1000 mAh less than the designed capacity).

    Coupled with the fact that it's only accurate if you are constantly charging from below 15% to 100%, these are ranges that I rarely get my phone into.

    Even though battery longevity is important to me, since I no longer replace my phones "every year", it really would be best if these damn things had user-replaceable batteries that were readily available. 😫

  • Isn’t one plus one of the brands that has their own fast charging tech, that’s extra fast?

    Yes, but...

    OnePlus offloads heat to the charger, so the phone actually doesn't get hot while charging. This fact alone would IMPROVE charge cycles, even at fast speeds.

    But OnePlus also uses quite a few "tricks" to preserve battery health. Did the test include those features or did they turn them off. And if they turned them off, did they do the same with the Samsung phones (which have similar battery-health preserving options)?

    I've had my OP13 since the day it came out (around 5-6 months) and keep it charged to 80% (built-in feature) and only charge it to 100% when I'll be out for the day and need to use GPS with max screen brightness. Battery health is still 100%.

    I've owned a lot of Samsung phones before that, and the battery health was the only reason I've needed to replace them. So, I'm glad to see that the EU is taking charge cycles into account.

    One piece of the puzzle that the numbers don't mention, is that the smaller battery of the Samsung phones means you'll be charging more often (i.e. more charge cycles) vs. something like a OP13 with a larger battery and excellent battery life (i.e. fewer charge cycles for the same use). Maybe that balances things out, but I'm still shocked that Sammy can get 1000 more charge cycles, which is YEARS more battery health than the other brands.

    edit: clarity

  • This just recently happened.

    Last year, we had a smoke detector with a 10-year built-in battery that was giving false positives. The manufacturer replaced it under warranty, but because I still needed to dispose of it properly, I just put it in the basement until I had time to get rid of it.

    Since that time, it had not beeped once.

    Two weeks ago, it started beeping, but only a few seconds and maybe once a day. Annoying, but whatever, it was going to be thrown out anyway.

    But then it did it more often, until finally, it was going nuts one morning last week, and I had to permanently disable it.

    As it turns out, that evening, a house on our block went up in flames. A total loss. None of the other smoke detectors, CO2 detectors, CO detectors, or even air quality meters picked up on anything that day.

    Coincidence? Perhaps. I can't explain it at all.

  • 1,000 charge cycles: OnePlus 13

    Hmm. This one has newer silicone-carbon lithium-ion batteries, which should actually increase charge cycles, so what's happening here?

  • Who's paying for all the destruction that these vehicles are causing? Does insurance cover the liability from self-driving cars?

  • I believe it’s only done to blame others, if there’ll be a democratic government in the next decade they’ll point and jeer “Look at how many pandemic, medical and environmental deaths there are now, while under maga we had none!”

    It's more insidious than that. Imagine the next democratic government inheriting this mess. They re-open science, education, and oversight departments, who discover shock that things are really bad. MAGA will say, "See, things are bad under YOUR leadership! Can't blame us!".

  • Closing your eyes and ignoring a problem like it doesn't exist is something that children, and Republicans, seem to do an awful lot!

    Can't have hurricanes if you aren't monitoring them!

    Can't have COVID deaths if you stop counting!

    Can't have Government corruption if you terminate any oversight!

  • Even English "nursery rhymes" are passively threatening and morbid when you think about it.

  • There's fake black licorice, and there's the real stuff. Two very different experiences!

  • I'll turn to spray paint and vandalism if we ever reach that kind of ad hellscape.

  • They don't. You have to get them from a place that imports like PDA Plaza out of Quebec (I've used them before).

    To me, that's a dealbreaker, because you lose the benefit of getting replacement parts easily.

  • Tesla vehicles are specifically singled out, because as far as I know, they are the only autonomous vehicle that uses cameras instead of Lidar.

    And the Tesla company has a habit of cover ups, falsifying or manipulating crash data, and fraud.

    I don't trust any autonomous car on public roads, but some are considerably more trustworthy than Teslas.

    FWIW, you can buy robot vacuums for your home with more advanced object detection than a robotaxi. 🫤
