I'm currently using Nextcloud Memories connected to a Wasabi bucket for photos and being "not supersnappy" is a real dealbreaker. When I scroll through hundreds or thousands of photos and have to wait five or ten seconds for

Hosting it isn't the problem. Paying for 1-2tb of storage is.

That looks interesting, and it does support s3 from the look of it. However, I have to say I'm getting strong "performative open source" vibes from it. Have you tried self hosting? How was it?

At least a few of these, like payments and basic communications, can be done from a watch. Work accounts, camera, and maps are the big blockers for me. I know I can buy a camera but 90% of the times when I take a photo it's to instantl

I would love to use Immich but I'm not into running a home server - electricity isn't that reliable here and putting in backup power is more expensive than I want to pay. Also I just don't want to manage the hardware. I'

I guess it says a lot about Windows that it reached the point where I don't consider these deal breakers. Usually I can use muscle memory to bypass the login screen so it's not quite as bad. It's only if I do something wrong

I suspect it's because they're dealing with such unbelievable levels of bandwidth and compute for training and inference that the amount required to blast the entire web like this barely registers to them.

No, because unless they state otherwise we should assume that they consider search overview to be an AI assistant (they definitely believe this) and also that it's one of the Gemini Apps. Look, there's not enough information to an
