@SlmnMANUTD @triangledread Yeah good point, with a Microsoft account Edge sync or Family Safety can bring it right back even after a reinstall. Making a quick local account and testing Edge there would confirm it.

@BhanuNagpure82 @jalam1001 Good question, partial fallback to CPU would explain it. @jalam1001 does your app show how many ops actually ran on the NPU?

[Alen Alen @termuxSolutions]

@jalam1001 15x on GPU is huge, that matches what I'm seeing with Vulkan on the Exynos. Funny the NPU barely helps, you'd think that's what it's for. Is your comparison app public anywhere? I'd love to run it on the Exynos side and send you the numbers.

Train WiFi usually needs you to accept a login page first, and until then your phone shows connected but nothing loads. After joining, open a browser and go to https://t.co/fBiCZnaON2, and the login page should pop up. If it doesn't, turn off Private Relay, VPN or Private DNS for that network. Some lines just have weak WiFi though, so 5G may genuinely be faster there.

iPhone LiDAR is pretty low res, so small stuff comes out as blobs. Try photogrammetry instead, Polycam or KIRI Engine in photo mode with 50+ photos all around in even light. Export STL or OBJ, then close the holes in Blender or Meshmixer before slicing. If it's a simple shape, modeling it in Tinkercad or Fusion with calipers will honestly print better.

Your keyboard learned it from you typing WhatsApp a lot. On Android, long press WhatsApp in the suggestion bar and remove it. On iPhone add a text replacement in Settings, General, Keyboard, Text Replacement with "whats" as the shortcut and "what's" as the phrase. If it still does it, reset the keyboard dictionary.

On Windows, press Win + Ctrl + Shift + B. It restarts the graphics driver, the screen blinks black for a second. If it keeps happening, reinstall the GPU driver straight from NVIDIA, AMD or Intel. If the glitches show up even before Windows loads, it's more likely the GPU, the cable or the monitor, so try reseating the display cable.

[Alen Alen @termuxSolutions]

Even with no error on screen, Windows logs it. Open Event Viewer, Windows Logs, System, and look at the time of the restart for Kernel-Power 41 or BugCheck. A BugCheck gives you the real error code. Kernel-Power alone usually means power or heat, so watch temps in HWMonitor while you play. Before the tourney, turn off XMP/EXPO in BIOS for now and do a clean GPU driver install. Those two fix a lot of random restarts.

@itsCillua Next try clearing YouTube's data, not just the cache, and play the same video in Chrome. If Chrome is smooth, it's the app, not the phone. I do this for a living, so if you want to dig through it together, feel free to DM me. Disclosure: I offer paid remote help.

@samir Check your charger first. A 20W+ USB-C PD brick and a good cable make a big difference, and an old 5W cube or a cheap cable will crawl. Also look at Settings, Battery, Charging. If you have Optimized Charging or the 80% limit on, it slows down on purpose at the end.

It's often tabs syncing over iCloud from your other Apple device, or sites that open new tabs on redirect. Hold the tabs button and Close All Tabs, then set Settings, Safari, Close Tabs to After One Day. If it keeps happening, turn Safari off under iCloud for a day and see if it stops.

On HyperOS it's usually not in wallpaper editing. Long press the lock screen itself and pick a style with the big clock. If nothing comes up, open the Themes app, update it and check Lock screen there. Also check System update, since some phones only got the big clock in a newer HyperOS version.

[Alen Alen @termuxSolutions]

Freezing even at idle is usually a driver, RAM or heat. Update the GPU driver straight from NVIDIA/AMD, run Windows Memory Diagnostic, and watch temps with HWMonitor. Also check Event Viewer, Windows Logs, System for Kernel-Power or display driver errors right before it freezes. That shows you which one it is.

[Alen Alen @termuxSolutions]

Hold the power button until it fully shuts off, unplug the charger and anything in the USB ports, then turn it back on. If it's still stuck, open the boot menu at startup (Esc or F12 on most laptops) and check that the drive still shows up. If the drive isn't there, the SSD probably dropped out. If it is there, boot from a Windows USB and run Startup Repair.

[Alen Alen @termuxSolutions]

Run Confirm-SecureBootUEFI in an admin PowerShell. If it says True, Windows already has it on and Siege just isn't picking it up. In BIOS set Secure Boot Mode to Standard, restore factory keys and keep CSM/Legacy off. Then do a full shutdown, not a restart, and launch Siege again through Ubisoft Connect. If it says False, turn Secure Boot on in BIOS first.

Termux tip: if Termux keeps getting killed in the background, run termux-wake-lock and turn off battery optimization for Termux in Android settings. Your long builds and servers stop dying halfway through.

@warengonzaga I run local learning machines. Like most ppl on their own hardware. You don't need multi billion parameter agent. Find tuning and learning system is more important. Everything is written on my git.

[Alen Alen @termuxSolutions]

Fair point. Local models are still behind the big hosted ones, mostly because of size. What helps is a bigger quant on good hardware, a model that fits the task, and adding RAG or tools on top. I do this kind of setup for a living, so if you want to dig into your exact setup, DM me. Disclosure: I offer paid remote help.

@Lucyconnell_1 Solid pick. The 7500X3D is great for gaming and the 5060 Ti is plenty for now. The only thing I'd upgrade later is RAM to 32GB if he gets into big games, and that's an easy cheap swap.

[Alen Alen @termuxSolutions]

That difference is normal, video mode crops in a bit for stabilization, so photo looks wider. Since you've got more questions, I should mention I do this for a living, so the rest I handle in DMs. Feel free to message me there and we'll sort it out properly. Disclosure: I offer paid remote help.
