Nokia devices never had capacitive touchscreens prior to the release of the iPhone; it took them two years to produce a response. In contrast, the LG Prada (the first phone-esque device to have a capacitive touchscreen) was announced four weeks before the iPhone.

The Senseair S88, which was released earlier this year, costs ~$22/piece, or ~$13/piece if you order more than 100.

There’s either a mistake or this is a bad metric, perhaps.

Currently the most powerful AMD iGPU is Radeon 780M (found 7840U/HS and 8700G CPUs). Judging by Notebookcheck‘s results, M2 Max GPU has up 2× the fps in Borderlands, 2.5× the fps in Witcher 3, and 3× the fps in Shadow of The Tomb Raider.

As for the benchmarks, the M2 Max GPU has 4–6× the fps in GFXBench, compared to Radeon 780M. And the RDNA3-based 780M has twice the raw compute performance, compared to Steam Deck’s RDNA2 GPU.

Unfortunately, GPUs in handhelds are always severely underpowered.

AFAIK Whisper still can't handle multi-language content. If the audio has two languages (different narrators, for example), Whisper transcribes both of them during the first minute or so, and then either entirely skips one of the languages, or translates the foreign language to English, for the rest of the audio.

So, the value proposition of a subtitle-generating wrapper for Whisper would be to have an option to split audio into ~1 minute segments, transcribe them separately, and to somehow accurately join them. And I don’t think this one does such a thing.

Not OP, but… I don’t consider myself a “power user”, but as it turns out, I use search for nearly everything: reviews, code snippets, spelling, cafes, stores, apps, news, products, files… But, perhaps, the most common type of search is when you read a text or hear something and think: “Hey, what’s that?”

And so I easily make 50–100 searches per day when I don’t even feel I’m actively searching for anything. And if I'm in a research mode, the count goes beyond that.

I noticed that only after I’ve subscribed to Kagi. After realising that I’ll burn throw the plan’s allowance very quickly, I tried doing most of my “dumb” searches via Google, and more important stuff — via Kagi. But that introduces a cognitive load, and kills the point of using a paid search engine.

Perhaps, I should switch to the $25 plan, but I can’t justify paying $250–$300 annually for a search engine, even though I have nothing against the idea of paying for one. Unfortunately, it’s too much for me. Nevertheless, I’m rooting for Kagi because it ticks all the boxes for me, and provides value. I hope that operational costs go down, and more people could use it.
