Pixel Battery Issues

3d 6h ago in android

You brought a pixel. They are known to suffer in this area. The A55 had superior battery because it has midrange performance so it cannot burn much anyway. You can turn off 5G, turn on battery saver. But, you cannot do much.

Pixels offer sub flagship performance and way worse battery. Get a different smartphone next time if you want good battery life.

I only know about Google and Bing and perhaps yandex who have their own Search Index. What others does DDG use and can you share the 15% figure you shared? I find it hard to believe DDG has already reduced its bing dependence to such a number.

DDG is not in bed with microsoft. DDG uses Bing search index to show its search results alongside wikipedia and others they can.

Ecosia also uses Bing alongside its own search index. Except Mojeek, Qwant there are very few Independent search engines which don't use Bing or Google as its search index.

Has been for a long time.

Qwant is not available in all places and limits its reach.

Search assist is powered by AI.

That person used a frontier model which runs on the cloud. Plus, claude is specifically made for coding which has probably has safeguards for this type of prompt injection.

Other models may or may not fare better in this regard.

I find the current work flow much intuitive. If you do add a confirmation. Add an option to never ask again. Like many android apps show for most apps in general.
