In 2024, in the eyes of Microsoft, they saw a demand for A.I. (from who or where, is another rabbit hole). And Microsoft bought a 20 year nuclear power contract. So 20-30 years from today that spent nuclear fuel is fuck that humans will have for infinity; instead of 100% of that nuclear power to have used for any other purpose (cities, battery charging, hospitals, food production, etc)… absolutely anything other than A.I.
Yup, so your answer is in the bottom of that rabbit hole, and it isn’t a logical one.

Btw, I have a 2024 Motorola with Android 15. Everything can be found under “Settings” (com.android.settings). And turning things off…

Some switches may appear more fancy-looking, or that may be a Motorola-only thing.

Developer Options…
Animator Duration Scale = 1.5x (larger = slower)
Windows animation scale = 1.5x
Transition animation scale = 1.5x
Predictive Back animations = off

Settings\Gestures…
I turned off most features.

Settings\Display,…
Refresh Rate 60hz only
Swipe-to-Split = off
3 finger swipe to screenshot = off

Settings\Accessibility…
I turned off the Accessibility Menu, live Captions, and anything else that added shortcuts to the volume and power buttons.

Settings\System\Performance…
Smart App Launch = off
I think this is a “single tap & hold anywhere for fancy action”, I’ve no clue. When it’s on it shows a permanent button on the screen.

Also I have a Settings\Home and Lock Screen Settings, but I’m certain 50% of the things in there are related to my phone’s native Motorola Moto Launcher. I’m using Nova Launcher, so uncertain if things there are in-effect or not as I cannot force stop the native launcher spp; it just restarts, even though I’m not using it.

I may or may not have a solution. But in my experience, between Android 13 and 15, the 3-button navigation bar became more “smart” and\or more complicated. 15 introduced Predictive Back which is on by default. 15 can add more static buttons onto the bar (Accessibility shortcuts, Keyboards). In 15 now my web browsers (Vivaldi and Firefox Beta) does not recognize “holding down back button” to show a recently visited webpage list. I am using Nova launcher on both 13 and 15 and I’m not necessarily getting 3-button navigation bar lag, but I am noticing windows animation intricities on 15, which Ive kinda fixed by slowing animations in the Developer Options.

The more 15 options I can turn off and make the 3-button Navigation Bar act “less smart” the more responsive it acts.

Does the flashlight led have multiple brightness levels?

A fitting analogy to US\China manufacturing interoperations would be one waving-off flies in a cow pasture only for other flies to take their place. And moan about while making no improvements to the farm.

Can I get a rundown of the few non-flagship phonemakers that are currently out there? I have heard of The Nothing Phone. Are there more companies that put together Androids to operate within the US?

They’re not separating data throughly. Researcher Yifang Zhu, over many publishings, mainly gathers and publishes raw findings. Such as… (summarizing) “Children are at risk due to immature respiratory systems and faster breathing rates… by traveling in diesel powered school buses in my South Texas study.”

A research participant, Yifang Zhu, is tied to a thing called Mobility Justice Frameworks. It’s pushing for greenspaces in urban areas, including making existing infrastructures look bad for its cause(s).

The research team has more A.I. tools than proper researching. It’s odd.

My bottom-of-the-rabbit-hole best guess. Create premature science data media for campaigns for lawmakers to push for more greenspaces in urban areas.

I just web searched the names of this research team… The last one on the list is a teeth-puller, folks.

Yuan Yao, teacher of sustainable systems.

Muchuan Niu, UCLA student, MS in Environmental Sciences.

Haoxuan Chen, Stanford student, machine learning.

Qiao Yu, Shanghai A.I. Laboratory.

Qingyang Wu, private A.I. developer.

Yuhang Li, student, Art History, A.I. cloud data processor.

Yijie Zhang, UCLA student, A.I. machine learning.

Aydogan Ozcan, UCLA, computational imaging and deep learning optics.

Michael Jerrett, teacher at UCLA, geographic information systems science, spatial exposure science.

Yifang Zhu, student in Environmental Sciences, associate of UCLA Fielding School project group, funds and\or law underwriter for Mobility Justice Frameworks (Mobility Justice is an almost eco-extremist entity that also uses racial cause to gather USDOT public funding).

“…creation of motion graphics designer Tom Coben…” https://mashable.com/video/bowling-robot-video-computer-generated

I imagine they will scale back robot design and just throw from the truck.

They said it’s rolling out in beta. Spam Protection is already in the Messages app. Scam Protection is coming soon. But to listen to telephone audio that means they want to add it into the native dialer\phone app. Google has a dialer app named “Phone” with a Spam filter feature currently.

I assume that’s what is coming – a.i. into the dialer\phone app.

Similar to cellphone a-gps (assisted gps) with a supplemental unified NLP (network location provider) addon feature found on recent phones… but beefed-up on a large-scale. This should provide more emitter sources, whitelisting and blacklisting, and dedicated software to help discover bad or rogue emitters.

I’m going off the graphic guessing the “detectors” continuous scanning contributes into a database that users will then subscribe on to; instead of the cellphone makeing the self-processing decisions in NLP software.

I found this paragraph…

Can Trump change the name of the Gulf of Mexico? Maybe, but it’s not a unilateral decision, and other countries don’t have to go along. The International Hydrographic Organization — of which both the US and Mexico are members — works to ensure all the world’s seas, oceans and navigable waters are surveyed and charted uniformly, and also names some of them. There are instances where countries refer to the same body of water or landmark by different names in their own documentation.

We’re going to need a new flag…

Or…

Yup funds, and the web traffic handleability.
My small city (population 89,000) had a 911 outage about 2 years ago. Their solution was to sms text or voice dial everyone with the message “…please dial any county non-emergency number… see a list of numbers at bitly.url…”. The hosted website was hugged-to-death.

After fines, it was inevitably cheaper to extend the nearest net backbone closer to our neck of the woods and upgrade all county things with fiber and data centers.

Yeah. 40+. Blind, mostly. Lower back problems. But definitely a different last name.
