41·14 days agoOK, that’s horrible, but the difference between mucking around and science is writing it down. Do not dis the general principle because of one example.

2·16 days agoUsing wireguard to VPN into your home network is mostly trivial (using tailscale to do so is actually trivial, for my usage of the word, but introduces an untrusted company into the mix), opening your local network to the outernet is not, expect pain.

Android@lemdro.id•Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 PhonesEnglish
1·16 days agoMaybe, hit that link again to download the latest version?
Maybe, did I mention I dislike the coding ‘language’ ? I gave up on it and am no worse for it, no hate on those who like it, it is after all the most functional android automation out there (but likely doesn’t have charge stopping ability or someone would have said, so the point is moot) The base tasker worked, and my discussion on the voice activation plugin fell on deaf ears, I moved on.
On another note, you mentioned finding my comment from search. Did you find my comment from searching tasker on lemmy? I didn’t expect anyone to find it from search.
No, I was talking to those who might find it in the future, why you would think it’s about you I dunno.

1·16 days agoFor those coming here from search, I actually did try the patreon path, for two months, and if you’re good with an ongoing subscription of $US48 per year (if you want updates), have at it. My experience was one password and silence thereafter. YMMV. Said password did not give updates, did not make me want to make tasker a part of my gOS experience (I hate that bastardized C language with gotos hard) who knows, spin the dice, the guy who took over from the original might be OK…

Android@lemdro.id•Is Fast Charging Killing the Battery? A 2-Year Test on 40 PhonesEnglish
4·20 days agoTasker and gOS don’t play very well together, you’ll need to run (sandboxed) GPlay etc (Tasker is pretty overzealous with DRM, PowerAmp, MoonReader for example let you just authorize it once and then you can rip out GPlay and it’s fine, I don’t mind paying for good software, I just don’t want google) which I don’t on my main profile, but I suspect you’re right. These days I don’t program on my phone (save for a bit of python in Termux), I’d rather VPN to my home network and code on a real computer. If it gets me even two years extra battery life it’ll pay for itself.
Does Tasker literally have charge control these days (I’ll assume it has the sensor)? If so it’d make a good, more versatile solution for tinkerers (but probably at least 30% the cost or more give the module buying monetization craziness compared to a set and forget chargie).

21·20 days agoWhat do people think of the chargie ?
The elephant in the room here is charging a battery when it is hot kills it fast. I live in a hot country and my (GrapheneOS) Pixel7 was spicy pillow in 18 months, happily charging away at 50+C at times (I leave it in a wireless charging stand 90+% of the time). Replaced the battery with a iFixit kit and got a chargie, which lets you set a cutoff charge temperature which I set to 33C (and 80% charge). Often in summer it charges only at night. Another year odd later gOS reports 100% health FWIW. Any phones out there that allow limiting charge by temperature natively? These devices all get developed in cool climates and aircon it seems…

Selfhosted@lemmy.world•What budget friendly GPU for local AI workloads should I aim for?English
2·21 days agoNah, NVLink is irrelevant for inference workloads (inference nearly all happens in the cards, models are split up over multiple and tokens are piped over pcie as necessary), mildly useful for training but you’ll get there without them.
