It's because they take PCBs spec'ed for micro-usb and just replace the port with USB-C.

I work in the industry.

It's kind of hard to prove a negative, so I'll reverse the question:

Show me a source / proof that says that a single retail device ever implemented HDMI HEC.

HDMI Ethernet was never adopted or implemented on consumer devices.

Not true. Opus and Sonnet 4.6 support 1m context on Bedrock.

I was keeping mine alive on life support until about two years ago when I updated to the Samsung 5K display.

Loved the extra screen real estate of the 30" ACD and it's a beautifully designed product that I enjoyed having on my desk.

In its last year or two the backlight wear started to result in colors to become uneven. Blues were less vibrant and reds had tint issues.

Was also difficult to justify the power draw, it had a 150w power supply.

Okay Gemini

Back tap is an accessibility feature, not intended for general public use.

Hi Felix, this looks like an incredible tool. I've been helping non-tech people at my org make agent flows for things like data analysis—this is exactly what they need.

However, I don't see an option for AWS Bedrock API in the sign up form, is it planned to make this available to those using Bedrock API to access Claude models?

I agree. I think it comes down OpenAI's superior post-training.

ChatGPT is better at:

A) Interpreting what I'm asking it for me needing to provide additional explicit context.

B) Formatting answers in a way that are easily digestible.

Vulnicura VR is incredible. It’s a truly moving experience that wouldn’t work in any other medium.

I was worried I was the only one who did this. Glad to know I'm not alone out there.

Fwiw Samsung is now 7 years OS/Security on flagships and 6 years OS/Security on the entry/mid-level Galaxy A Series.

Oh so that's why they're terrible and often break with no error messaging or recourse

I kept search off for a long time due to it tanking the quality of the responses from ChatGPT.

I recently added the following to my custom instructions to get the best of both worlds:

# Modes

When the user enters the following strings you should follow the following mode instructions:

1. "xz": Use the web tool as needed when developing your answer.

2. "xx": Exclusively use your own knowledge instead of searching the internet.

By default use mode "xz". The user can switch between modes during a chat session. Stay with the current mode until the user explicitly switches modes.

Samsung microLED required professional installation until a year or two ago. It’s essentially a mini-JumboTron made of individual panels. They’ve managed to reduce down to four panels on brackets.

If you want to install your $200,000 143” TV yourself here’s a video: https://youtu.be/oSpX2aZDPng

GPT-5 Pro is only available on ChatGPT with a ChatGPT Pro subscription.

Supposedly it fires off multiple parallel thinking chains and then essentially debates with itself to net a final answer.

Not crazy. 4o was a hallucination machine. 4o had better “vibes” and was really good at synthesizing information in useful ways, but GPT-4 Turbo was a bigger model with better world knowledge.

In my experience, web search often tanks the quality of the output.

I don't know if it's because of context clogging or that the model can't tell what's a high quality source from garbage.

I've defaulted to web search off and turn it on via the tools menu as needed.

FYI only one of your videos is displaying in HDR on your homepage, making the others seem dim in comparison.

It’s the Built for simple campus navigation video.

I’d recommend converting it to SDR.

You don’t need to pre-wash dishes before they go in the sink, beyond a basic scrapping of the plate into the garbage.

Pre-washing dishes degrades the performance of the dishwasher. This is due to the use of enzymes in modern detergent formulations.

I’ve sent dozens of people the Technology Connections video on this topic to rave reviews: https://youtu.be/jHP942Livy0

I should have clarified: Samsung remotes always use IR for power commands.

They use RF/BT for all other commands, as long as the remote is paired to a TV.

Note: When the remote is not paired with a TV it will also send the basic commands over IR.

This is because the remotes use IR for the power commands. There’s really no getting around it. A small piece of electrical tape over the IR window on the monitor will fix it.

I will give credit to the Google Maps team—they handle Queens NYC street address correctly.

Apple Maps drives me nuts—it will only return search results if you include the hyphen in the four digit street address ie: "36-08 33rd St" vs "3608 33rd St". Google will hit on either query.

The hyphen is a part of the "official" address. However, USPS has declared it unnecessary, there's no advantage to using it unless you're navigating by analog map, and it's a PITA to type on a mobile keyboard.

So if anyone on Apple Maps team is here: please fix this. I filled a apple.com/feedback ticket on this years ago.

For anyone interested in the peculiar history of Queens addresses—they convey a cross street and the number of the house ascending going northward.

For example: 36-08 33rd St means that the house is on 33rd St, between 35th and 36th ave, and is house #08 on the block.

That said, Apple Maps is far superior to Google Maps for transit directions, at least in NYC. Google's integration with the MTA is seriously lacking—their directions often do not reflect scheduled changes in routes, let alone real-time issues. That said, Google Maps is superior with POI search and address decoding.

You can remove Samsung TV Plus by long pressing on the icon on the Home Screen > remove > disable. Your TV will go back to its old behavior.

Such a huge miss not including the name of the company on the shirts. It could be a fitness logo for all anyone knows.

You sure sound sure of yourself for not knowing what you’re talking about.

It takes less than a minute to disable ad tracking and ACR on a Samsung TV.

Settings > General > Terms > disable two checkboxes.

This is an undersold part of the story

It's not only media companies with DRM

IoT integrations like Alexa come with numerous security requirements that are often good ideas in theory but lead to hacky workarounds to meet certification requirements

I work at a 90% Windows shop. Obviously major benefits to being on the "main platform".

I tried using a Windows laptop for my first two months.

I couldn't do it.

Seeing the other models, I actually come away impressed with how well GPT-4.5 is organizing the information and how well it reads. I find it a lot easier to quickly parse. It's more human-like.
