Nothing funny about this, but it sure speaks to creativity. And quite impressive, too.

I rode early and then after dinner. It was very nice this morning and I was surprised I only saw a couple of people out. Early evening I saw nobody but it was lousy out. A weather front is moving in and the wind got up and was gusting into the 40 mph range from the South. Going North was no problem.

I managed to top 3K miles on my bike this morning. My first ride on the bike was July 20th 2023. I'd like to get another six hundred miles or so on the bike by my one year anniversary. That would be an average of ten miles every day. That would not be bad considering I wasn't allowed to ride it for almost three month following my heart attack.

LG first incorporated Wi-Fi modules into its home appliances over a decade ago, and since then, the company has continued to enhance home living with its groundbreaking innovations. A leader in the fast-growing AI home appliance market, LG is now applying its proprietary on-device AI chip – the ‘DQ-C’ – to its latest lifestyle solutions, infusing them with the unique power of ‘Affectionate Intelligence.’

Introduced by CEO William Cho at CES 2024, Affectionate Intelligence underscores LG’s commitment to delivering differentiated customer experiences via cutting-edge AI technology that is more caring, empathetic and attentive.

Affectionate Intelligence is built on three pillars: Real-time Life Intelligence, drawing insights from real-life data gleaned from our global LG smart products and diverse IoT devices; Orchestrated Intelligence, seamlessly coordinating the operation of interconnected devices in alignment with customer preferences and intentions; and Responsible Intelligence, ensuring secure learning and adaptation, upholding privacy and integrity while delivering personalized experiences.

Enhancing Convenience with an Expanded ‘Affectionate Intelligence’ Lineup
LG’s expanded Affectionate Intelligence home appliance lineup now boasts 11 product categories: air conditioners, washing machines, dryers, Styler

, air purifiers, robot vacuums, refrigerators, electric ranges, dishwashers, water purifiers and TVs.

Launched earlier this year in South Korea, the Affectionate Intelligence stand-type air conditioner offers unparalleled comfort with enhanced ‘AI Smart Care,’1 a feature that detects the user’s location in real time and automatically adjusts airflow directionality, intensity and temperature. Another innovative addition is the WashCombo

all-in-one washer and dryer, which selects the optimal drum motions from LG’s 6Motion

technology to gently yet thoroughly care for user’s laundry2 after analyzing each load’s weight, humidity level and fabric types.

Looking ahead, LG plans to evolve its Affectionate Intelligence into a generative AI-based service that extends beyond the smart home to diverse sectors and spaces, including mobility and online.

LG’s AI Home Appliances: From Wi-Fi Modules to Hyper-Personalized ThinQ UP 2.0
In 2011, LG became the first manufacturer to apply Wi-Fi modules to its home appliances. Six years later, in 2017, the company expanded Wi-Fi connectivity to most of its appliance lineups, introducing the LG ThinQ

brand and ushering in the era of AI home appliances.

In January 2022, LG elevated customization and convenience with the launch of ThinQ UP, allowing the addition of new features to compatible LG appliances based on the analysis of customers’ usage patterns and habits. ThinQ UP home appliances operate intelligently, reducing the time and effort associated with household chores. They also offer flexible subscription options along with the ability to add new user-friendly services. With 336 downloadable ThinQ UP features now available3 – and more being added regularly – users can continually update their existing appliances for a tailored, always-evolving customer experience.

Last year, LG signaled the beginning of a new era for AI appliances with the South Korean debut of ThinQ UP 2.0. This latest smart life solution from the company offers hyper-personalization with advanced, new features plus a range of subscription services from LG and various partner companies.

Dedicated On-Device AI Chip Lineup and Expanded Application
In July 2023, after more than three years of research and development, LG revealed the DQ-C chip – a sophisticated on-device AI chip – and a brand-new operating system for home appliances. Last year, the company also established an organization specifically tasked with developing the next-generation of AI chips for future Affectionate Intelligence home appliances. This forms part of LG’s strategy to diversify its growing portfolio of state-of-the-art AI chips, and to bring the many benefits and advantages of AI-powered performance and features to more customers.

With ‘Affectionate Intelligence’ and impressive core technologies, LG has solidified its position as a global leader in the home appliances industry, and cemented its reputation as a smart life solutions company.

I hope everyone here remembers WHY Memorial Day is a holiday. It's not for the sales!

I have the privilege of again serving as Master of Ceremonies for our community's Memorial Day Ceremony - thankfully, it's very well-attended because our community is very patriotic and gets it... they know what the holiday is about. I can only ask my AF/EBC friends to find a ceremony nearby and attend it. Many veterans organizations coordinate these events: ask them if you aren't sure.

It has been windy today. I'm only guessing that was the reason the ribs took longer to cook than last time. What I really thought was odd is that the two ribs I glazed took longer to reach my desired temp than the non glazed ribs. They were good all the same but took right at an hour longer to reach temp.

Oh, it's a very strange OS: something called "One UI 6.1", which is like Android but with the settings rearranged by Samsung .

But my previous phone was a Pixel (non-carrier) which also just had "mobile data" and "WiFi", and while I used custom ROMs with my phones before that, whether they were based on manufacturer software or AOSP there was still never a "non-carrier data" section.

Yeah my tablet is a Samsung and it has non carrier apps though, but always tend to turn off the non background data always.

The Royals got the win and the sweep against the A's today. They gave up a three run homer in the top of the nineth but still won 8-4. Tomorrow they open a home series against the Tigers. Another sweep would be way too much to hope for but winning the series would be huge.

News is that the Galaxy S25 series will have SoC chipsets based on the 3nm process. Even the upcoming Exynos 2500 is rumored to be more efficient than the upcoming Snapdragon 8 Gen 4.

Not only that, but Samsung fans won't have to wait until next year to get that processor: the Galaxy Watch 7 is expected to be released in a couple of months, and it will have the 3nm processor!

I'm ceaselessly astonished by how many transistors they can pack onto a tiny slice of silicon. If this keeps up, in 5 years we'll have molecular transistors... and the only way Moore's Law will stand is to switch to quantum processors.

The first thing to try is rebooting your phone. Have you tried that yet?
