Google Pixel 11 Pro (Tensor G6) vs. Google Pixel 9 Pro (Tensor G4)

CPU Benchmark Pixel 9 Pro Pixel 11 Pro Improvement
Single-Core Score 1,680 2,265 +34.8%
Multi-Core Score 3,943 5,835 +48.0%
HTML5 Browser 1,966 2,517 +28.0%
Photo Library 1,644 2,464 +49.9%
Photo Editor 1,181 2,237 +89.4%
HDR 1,409 2,091 +48.4%

Geekbench 7 is a standardized CPU benchmark designed to simulate common real-world computing workloads. Instead of simply measuring clock speed, it makes the processor perform fixed, repeatable tasks such as web-page rendering, image processing, file compression, video encoding and object calculations. The same workloads and datasets are used on every device, which makes the scores directly comparable. A higher score means the processor completed the standardized workload faster.

The Single-Core Score measures performance when a task mainly depends on one CPU core or a small number of threads, which is particularly relevant for everyday responsiveness, app interactions and many browser workloads. The Multi-Core Score measures workloads that can efficiently use several CPU cores simultaneously and is more relevant for heavier parallel processing.

I hope the battery life improves. The Instagram app currently drains about 30–40% of the battery from my Pixel 9 Pro after 1 hour of screen time.

Why is OpenAI scamming business customers? They announce a reset for everyone and tell us to use "Fast," yet then they exclude business accounts

https://preview.redd.it/el8xmz4d97jh1.png?width=737&format=png&auto=webp&s=1b4c6c953b1d238ab3bcd9e98810a5f28c5a56bf

Surely they can't announce something like that for everyone and then only accommodate a few paying customers?

Under Section 5 of the FTC Act (15 U.S.C. § 45), any unfair or deceptive act or practice in commerce is unlawful, and a representation is deceptive when it is material and likely to mislead a reasonable consumer. Section 43(a) of the Lanham Act (15 U.S.C. § 1125(a)(1)(B)) further prohibits false or misleading statements of fact in commercial advertising or promotion that misrepresent the nature or qualities of a service. An unqualified public promise of a benefit that is systematically withheld from an entire class of paying customers therefore constitutes a material misrepresentation and is incompatible with these provisions of U.S. law.

IT admins can now read sensitive messages from their bosses

https://help.openai.com/en/articles/20001067-data-access-for-your-managed-chatgpt-account

I find it very concerning when OpenAI introduces features like this overnight. Until now, a CEO might have assumed that his or her IT administrator couldn’t access their private chats. Suddenly, those chats can be exported and downloaded—possibly containing private matters, sensitive business plans, and so on.

A broader concern arises when workplace chat systems are designed in a way that requires users to assume that their conversations could potentially be accessed by administrators or other people within the organization.

The issue is not necessarily that anyone is actively monitoring employees. The problem is that the possibility of access alone can change how people communicate.

An employee may hesitate to ask a basic or “embarrassing” professional question because they fear it could later be interpreted as a lack of competence. Yet revisiting a topic after several years, asking for clarification, or privately working through uncertainty is a normal part of professional development.

The same applies to more sensitive subjects. Employees may use an AI assistant to understand health concerns, stress, interpersonal conflicts, career questions, or difficult workplace situations. Even if the account is paid for by the employer, it does not automatically follow that every conversation should become the employer’s business. An employer may benefit from an employee becoming healthier, more informed, or better able to solve a problem without needing to know the underlying personal details.

There are also confidentiality concerns at management level. Executives may discuss financial figures, strategic questions, personnel matters, or sensitive negotiations. Employees may discuss concerns involving managers or colleagues. HR teams, IT administrators, and other privileged users may require technical access to administer systems, but technical responsibility should not automatically imply unrestricted access to private conversations.

This is also a question of organizational culture. Companies do not normally record every conversation employees have with each other during working hours. If they did, people would almost certainly communicate less openly. Chat-based AI tools increasingly resemble informal conversations: people think aloud, test ideas, ask questions they would not put into a formal email, and sometimes discuss highly personal matters.

Of course, organizations need legitimate controls. When an employee leaves, accounts may need to be transferred, disabled, or archived, and business-critical information must remain accessible. But this does not mean that every conversation created through a company account should automatically be treated as company property.

The central question is therefore whether AI chats should be treated like formal corporate correspondence, or more like private conversational spaces. If users must constantly assume that everything they write may later be inspected, the technology inevitably changes how freely they think, ask questions, seek help, and communicate.

Why are Luna benchmarks like DeepSWE so good? I can't seem to replicate that in practice. What's your experience with Luna & Terra?

Over the past few days, I’ve been working on various PHP projects using the CodeIgniter MVC framework. This, of course, includes the front-end part as well. In my tests, Luna (max) repeatedly overlooks critical requirements or implements them completely incorrectly. On the front end, things go wrong in 80% of cases, especially with autocomplete styles overwrites, etc. In many benchmarks, Terra (high) appears to be inferior to Luna (max). However, in my experience, it performs about three times better - almost on par with Sol (medium-high).

What's your experience with Luna & Terra?

Opus 5 vs GPT-5.6 Sol & Luna

OpenAI’s GPT-5.6 models offer the best cost-performance trade-off, especially the medium and high reasoning settings. Anthropic’s Claude Opus 5 delivers the highest intelligence score, but at a significantly higher cost.

https://artificialanalysis.ai/?models=claude-opus-5%2Cgpt-5-6-sol-high%2Cgpt-5-6-sol%2Cgpt-5-6-sol-xhigh%2Cgpt-5-6-sol-medium%2Cgpt-5-6-sol-low%2Cgpt-5-6-luna-high%2Cgpt-5-6-luna-xhigh%2Cgpt-5-6-luna&intelligence=agentic-index&intelligence-efficiency=output-tokens-per-task#intelligence-comparison-tabs

Unfortunately, I get the impression that the subscriptions are already very expensive even with Sol Medium compared to GPT-5.5.

Python Install Manager on Windows 11: Should scripts avoid relying on the current working directory?

I recently switched to the new Python Install Manager on Windows 11 and noticed that several of my utility scripts no longer behaved as expected when launched by double-clicking them in File Explorer.

Many of these scripts process, generate, or minify files located in the same directory as the script. They were often written using simple relative paths:

from pathlib import Path

input_file = Path("input.txt")
output_file = Path("output.txt")

This works when the current working directory happens to be the script directory. However, relative paths are resolved against the process working directory, not necessarily against the location of the .py file. When a script is launched through a Windows file association, the inherited working directory may be different.

A more reliable approach for files belonging to the script seems to be:

from pathlib import Path

SCRIPT_DIR = Path(__file__).resolve().parent

input_file = SCRIPT_DIR / "input.txt"
output_file = SCRIPT_DIR / "output.txt"

As I understand it, the Python Install Manager did not change how relative paths work. Its file association and global python.exe alias may simply have exposed assumptions that previously went unnoticed because my earlier launch method happened to use the script directory as the working directory.

I had quite a few small scripts built around this assumption, particularly scripts that process files stored next to them. I am therefore wondering:

  1. Is resolving script-related paths from __file__ considered the usual best practice for this kind of standalone utility?
  2. Have other Windows users needed to update older scripts after switching to the Python Install Manager?
  3. Were well-designed scripts generally already handling this distinction correctly?
  4. Do some users avoid the Install Manager because of differences in launching scripts by double-clicking, or is relying on the current working directory simply considered fragile regardless of the launcher?
  5. When would using Path.cwd() intentionally be preferable to using the script directory?

The new Python Install Manager is distributed as an MSIX/Store application. Its python, py, and pymanager commands are exposed through Windows app execution aliases and forwarding mechanisms rather than the traditional standalone Python Launcher.

As a result, launching .py files directly may no longer preserve the script’s directory as the working directory and can instead fall back to C:\Windows\System32. I do not consider creating separate batch files for every Python script an acceptable workaround, especially since direct double-click execution worked correctly with the legacy launcher.

See also: https://docs.python.org/3/using/windows.html#troubleshooting

Typing script-name.py in the terminal opens in a new window. This is a known limitation of the operating system. Either specify py before the script name, create a batch file containing u/py "%~dpn0.py" %* with the same name as the script, or install the legacy launcher and select it as the association for scripts.

KB5095093 / Build 26200.8737 and KB5101650 / Build 26200.8875 appear to remove pinned shortcuts from the Windows 11 Pro Start menu

I highly recommend taking a screenshot of your current shortcuts before updating. After the updates were recently installed and the system restarted, all the apps I had pinned were gone, and I’m basically back to having all the standard Windows icons like Edge, etc.

I’ve probably been relying too much on Windows’ reliability lately. With this, they’ve once again earned themselves a well-deserved “reputation” for proving that things can go wrong.

Google Ads invoice downloads are still unnecessarily manual in 2026

Google Ads customers still have to log in every month and download their invoices manually. The same issue also affects Google Cloud billing.

This is outdated and wastes time for businesses, accountants, and agencies. Automated monthly invoice delivery by email should be a basic feature by now.

Let’s all try to push this together: open a help request, submit a support ticket, or file a complaint and make it clear that this situation is no longer acceptable. I would really appreciate it if a few people joined in so the issue gains enough visibility to be escalated internally.

You can use this message:

>Hello, Google Ads customers still have to manually download their invoices every month. The same problem also affects Google Cloud billing. > >This process is outdated and unnecessarily time-consuming. Please add an option to automatically receive monthly invoices by email. > >Please forward this feedback to the responsible product and billing teams instead of simply closing or archiving the request. Thank you.

The more customers raise the same issue, the more difficult it becomes to ignore.

In-Stream Reel requires Facebook News Feeds: Please also select the “Facebook News Feeds” placement to use Facebook In-Stream Reel. (#1815468)

As a former agency owner, I worked with advertising clients for many years. Now I only run ads for my own companies. But Meta is really starting to drive me up the wall with all the glitches in Ads Manager.

I don't have any Advantage+ ad campaigns active because I simply want to run ads in standard 9:16 video and image formats in a new campaign. So, for placement restrictions, I've only enabled Stories, Status, and Reels. But even if I disable Instagram and Facebook Reels, it still doesn't work, and I can't publish the ad set with the ads. It keeps asking me to enable Facebook News Feed.

How do I get rid of this crap? Any ideas? I had this problem a few weeks ago. Back then, when I reloaded the Ads Manager and clicked “Publish,” the error suddenly disappeared, even though I hadn't changed anything about the placements. But now it just won't go away.

Edit - solution for the bug: I enabled Advantage+ for placements once. After that, my ads disappeared, and I started to panic, but I was able to publish the ad group. When I edited the ad group again and set the exact same settings, it worked. Bugs everywhere you look... It seems Meta is increasingly trying to push people toward Advantage+, even if it means putting up with bugs and cropped ad creatives.

Wie seid ihr zum Smarthome gekommen? Wie habt ihr es technisch aufgebaut? Was ist euer Highlight?

Bei mir war es eher der Klassiker, nach Inspiration -> langsamer Aufbau: Erste smarte Steckdosen z.B. für einen Ventilator usw. Dann zog die Klimaanlage ein, danach Philips Hue & Osram Lampen sowie Bewegungsmelder, Sprachsteuerung & Wake on Lan für das Notebook am TV usw. ein. Überwachungskamera, Tür- & Fenstersensoren sowie Shelly Unterputzschalter für die besonderen Automatisierungen. Stationen vom Raspberry Pi & FHEM über OpenHAB hin zum Homey Pro als zentrale Steuereinheit. OpenHAB verblieb letztlich auf dem Pi noch für ein EnOcean Funkmodul als Brücke zur Raffstore Steuerung.

Mein Gedanke war immer: Wir haben einen Regen- & Lichtsensor usw. im Auto, aber ziehen Zuhause manuell die Rollos hoch, dimmen das Licht und schalten es ein und aus? Wir drehen die Heizung passend, obwohl man dies gut in Abhängigkeit zur Außentemperatur steuern kann? Wie wäre es mit einem intelligenten Zuhause? Wie viel Zeit verbringen wir im Auto und wie viel Zuhause?

Es gibt ja so Dinge, die man erst vermisst, wenn man sie einmal hatte. So wie eine Spülmaschine, Trockner, kabelloser Staubsauger oder Airfryer. Für mich gehört das Smarthome definitiv dazu und ich merke es je nach Hotel usw. immer wieder, wie glücklich mich das macht, dass dies die Ausnahme ist. Ich verlasse das Haus ohne Lichter und Geräte auszuschalten. Mein Handy sendet über die Homey App / alternativ ginge auch MacroDroid o.ä. ein Signal, wenn niemand mehr Zuhause ist und die Automatisierungen laufen (Küchengeräte aus, Lichter aus, Alarmanlage an usw.). Es ist dunkel, die Türen sind zu und keine Bewegung auf der Terrasse seit einer Weile? Die Raffstores fahren zu. Es wird ein warmer Tag? Die Raffstores fahren nur minimal auf. Es ist ein unangenehmes Raumklima (Temperatur, Luftfeuchtigkeit)? Die Klima regelt. Man schläft und muss nochmal kurz in die Küche oder ins Bad: Die Lichter gehen nur gedimmt an, damit man nicht wach wird. Es wird wieder deutlich kälter? Die Fußbodenheizung schaltet sich in Abhängigkeit einer Kennlinie zur Außentemperatur zu.

Ich glaube alles ging los, als ich damals im Haus eines Lichttechnikers einer bekannten TV Show war und ich die ganze Lichteffekte, Smart Home Steuerungen usw. erblickte. Mir wurde aber auch klar: Ich will nicht das ganze Haus voller Tablets und irgendwo immer irgendwas drücken müssen. Da ist ja im Zweifel ein Lichtschalter schneller. Ich möchte, dass sich in Abhängigkeit von Helligkeit (Modi z.B. Schlafen, Tag, Besuch usw.) unterschiedliche Lichtszenarien weitgehend autonom passend einstellen. Ich bin jemand der steht auf Automatisierung, denn auf Dashboards.

Ich bin gespannt, was euer Aha Erlebnis war und wie ihr es angegangen seid. Worauf seid ihr besonders stolz? Was würdet ihr sagen sticht heraus, was es selten bei anderen gibt? Seien es kleine Automatisierungen, spezielle Modi oder Devices?

Zuletzt hatte ich häufiger was vom Home Assistant gehört, aber zumindest habe ich auch eben nochmal gesehen, dass hier, anders als bei openHAB z.B. die Eltako FSB14 Schaltaktor (für Rolläden/Raffstores), weiter nicht supportet werden? Oder hat das ggf. jemand zum Laufen bekommen?

Ich nutze bereits seit Neustem UniGetUI, um in regelmäßigen Abständen meine Software zu aktualisieren (vorher winget bzw. manueller Weg für die ganzen Entwicklungsabhängigkeiten usw). Damals habe ich mal den Drive Booster von IObit genutzt. Mittlerweile scheint es mir, als wären die neueren Treiber eher nur noch in der Pro Version verfügbar. Kurzum: Wie geht ihr bei euren Systemen mit den Treibern um. Kann man sich hier gut auf Windows Updates verlassen?

Strange watermarks/blurring on text with gpt-image-2 (medium or high)

I wanted to regenerate an ad using gpt-image-2 and connected the API, since as far as I know - only the "low" setting is available in ChatGPT itself. However, with the API, I much more frequently get strange "mushy" areas or blurring behind the text; it looks very artificial and definitely isn't suitable for print.

What has your experience with the API been like? Are there any potential solutions?

It’s a shame when the design finally works on the fifth to seventh attempt getting it 80–90% right only for those stupid labeling and watermark issues to make it completely unusable.

Unfortunately, it involves many different sections of text not something that can be easily fixed on the fly in Affinity.

"Content failed to load" Error

This just started this morning when ever i try to use the microphone to text feature on the brave browser. i spent the last hour trying to figure it out, I have uninstalled reinstalled deleted every scrap of my profile chache, reset microphone permissions. I can use the voice to text on other browsers Brave on my phone. but on my pc "Content failed to load" when the tool is called i spent 2 hours in the consol there are errors i don't understand them.

Chat gpt read them said this,

Failed to execute 'showPopover' on 'HTMLElement':
Invalid to show a popover during another show operation

That means ChatGPT tries to open the little mic/dictation panel, but Brave says “nope, another popup operation is already happening,” and then ChatGPT’s UI hits an error boundary instead of showing the mic panel.

The ui_boundary_error confirms it is a ChatGPT web UI crash, not a normal microphone permission issue.

There is also a contentscript.js error, which means some script injected into the page is also breaking when you click. That could be a Brave built-in feature or browser component, not necessarily an extension.

But that doesn't make any sense because i have this problem remaining on a GDAMN FRESH INSTALL!

The Codex Windows app starts up extremely slowly, causes mouse movements to freeze, etc.

Do you know what’s happening in the background that causes seemingly half the system to freeze after launching Codex for 2-15 seconds? You can't just quickly do something else on the desktop, because everything feels like it's hanging. I’ve never experienced this with any other Windows software. I have AMD Ryzen 7 1700X Eight-Core Processor (3.40 GHz) and 32 GB of RAM. Unfortunately, that’s been the case since the Windows app launched. No issues with OpenCode, etc.

Details:

  • Codex Windows App: Version 26.623.61825 • Released 29.06.2026
  • Windows 11 Pro (all updates installed)
  • I now run Codex without WSL with Windows native / PowerShell, as execution was extremely slow there and token consumption was 3–5 times higher.

WhatsApp voice messages are routed to the phone speaker instead of car speakers when using Wireless Android Auto on Pixel 9 Pro (Android 17)

I am experiencing an intermittent but recurring audio routing issue on a Google Pixel 9 Pro running Android 17. The issue has been occurring on and off since around October 2025 and still persists.

Steps to reproduce:

  1. Use a Google Pixel 9 Pro running Android 17.
  2. Connect the phone to a car via Wireless Android Auto.
  3. Start normal media playback, for example Spotify, through Android Auto.
  4. Open WhatsApp directly on the phone.
  5. Open an existing chat with an older voice message.
  6. Play the WhatsApp voice message manually from within the WhatsApp app.

Expected behavior:

The WhatsApp voice message should play through the car speakers, just like Spotify, videos, and other media played from the phone while Android Auto is connected.

Actual behavior:

The WhatsApp voice message is played through the phone speaker instead of the car speakers, or it is routed so quietly that it is practically unusable. At the same time, the music playing through Android Auto is reduced in volume, as if Android Auto detects that another audio source is active. However, the actual voice message audio does not come through the car speakers properly.

This is especially confusing because other media from WhatsApp, such as videos, appears to play through the car speakers correctly. The issue seems specific to WhatsApp voice messages played manually from inside WhatsApp.

The Android Auto notification playback workaround is not sufficient. In real use, the message notification has often already been dismissed or seen, and the issue concerns older voice messages that need to be played manually later.

When the phone is connected to the car only via Bluetooth, without Android Auto, WhatsApp voice messages appear to play correctly through the car speakers. This suggests that the issue may be related to Android Auto audio routing, WhatsApp’s handling of voice messages, or Android’s classification of WhatsApp voice-note audio.
