The division that makes Samsung phones is IT & Mobile Communications. System LSI Business, Device Solutions is another division that makes the Exynos Chip. Both division’s have their own CEO’s and make best decisions independently for their organization. Which may or may not benefit the other subsidiary. For e.g Samsung in their laptops use SSD from other manufactures instead of their own SSD.

Also both Amazon and Huawei never used the AOSP Fast Pair. Huawei has their own proprietary implementation which was there before even Google came up with Fast Pair and FireOS is still on Android 11.

Not sure why you cannot do it. But I can create groups in favourite’s and can turn-on all of them in one click.

You create a group in favourite and for lights you can add multiple lights to it. https://9to5google.com/2023/06/23/google-home-favorites-light-groups/

You can do it in the app too. All you need to do is create a group in your favourite’s and for lights you can select multiple lights. https://9to5google.com/2023/06/23/google-home-favorites-light-groups/

I have a lamp with two smart bulbs in it and I can’t combine them into 1 light in the google home app. The light bulbs are controlled independently. It’s infuriating.

I have multiple lights in my living room and when I say “Ok Google, Turn on all lights in living room” it turns on all lights. The key is to have them in same room in Google Home app.

Apple only bought the entire capacity of 3nm chips for 2023. The article mentions they are going to use TSMC 3nm in second half of 2024.

One thing to note is they are still using ASML’s DUV Scanner which doesn’t have any restriction currently. But starting in 2024 they can no longer can export any. But still this is an remarkable achievement.

No, to clear confusion when they mean transfer they are not really transferring the SIM. To explain fully, when you first setup eSIM, you give IMEI to your operator. Then you get a QR code which is associated with your IMEI. When you scan it you are connected to Remote SIM Provisioning system and your phone downloads SIM profile. Now when you switch phones if your carrier supports eSIM transfer, which is not supported by all carriers. Your old phone which has the eSIM will tell carrier your new phones IMEI, once you confirm the transfer, your new phone will contact Remote SIM Provisioning system to download new SIM profile. Then once it’s activated the old phone deletes the eSIM. The way how your old phone knows your new phone is through the Apple account for iPhones and for Samsung/Google it will something similar. Also keep in mind for iPhones you need to have same Apple account for both old and new phone, I am not sure about Samsung/Google’s implementation. Currently there is no standard for iPhone to transfer to Android or vice versa. Probably GSMA will come up with something or Apple and Google can make a standard.
