Tinkering with technology is my hobby, so I spend a lot of time on secondary markets (like Facebook Marketplace, OfferUp, Craigslist, eBay, etc.) I always research the original price of any item I'm interested in, any current discounts being offered by retailers (like Amazon, etc.), and what the average pre-owned price appears to be across platforms. Then I offer some amount less, and expect a counter. I equate negotiating with fishing. I know that, with patience, I will eventually find a motivated seller. So I try to never enter any specific negotiation needing to make a deal. Obviously the rarity of an item and your desire to obtain it are big factors that will influence the price which you are willing to pay, but knowing the item's value and being unafraid to make a reasonable-but-low first offer has proven successful for me. Also be courteous. I have had better success providing context and asking questions about the item then merely opening with a low effort bid, and have even had several sellers return to the negotiation hours, days, or weeks later because I invite them to if we are unable to reach an initial agreement.

Sadly, no "cover mode" option for folders.

Most of it happens "in the cloud." From an article I just saw posted on Lemmy:

The Gemini LLM comes in three model sizes: Nano, Pro, and Ultra. Only the Nano model is small enough to run locally on high-end Android devices like the Pixel 8 Pro and the Galaxy S24 series, whereas the other two models run on Google’s cloud servers.

particularly AI

The Google Pixel 8 Pro is the only phone I am aware of where local AI capability was mentioned heavily in its marketing. (It's also the only phone that is produced by a current leading company in the AI space.) I italicized "marketing" because my understanding from what I've been reading is that a lot of deeper Gemini AI integration won't come until the P9P, though it might be possible to be backported to the P8P.

ChordAI is an app that tries to figure out the guitar chords for songs found on YouTube. It also has a lyrics function, which can generate the lyrics from the song.

There is probably an app more specialized for karaoke, but this was the first one that sprang to my mind.

No worries.

I do agree with you that we're likely to see just as many (if not more) guilty politicians claiming AI fakes when they're caught red-handed as we will see framed politicians targeted with actual AI fakes. Just not in this case.

You might be kidding, but the answer is: The outcome plus Occam's Razor.

a candidate saying he’d rigged the election

the candidate...was defeated

Which is more likely, that he was recorded while lying about rigging the election that he ended up losing or that the recording was faked?

Many libraries also offer watch credits for Kanopy, whose catalog of videos includes many of the Great Courses.
