There’s no vram, so its using memory, you’re better off with the switch 2.
Big totty with a switch? naaah, but i use mcon. What game? Connect the dots via my GitHub.
CoD? totty lets shooting games? Only BotW in our house!
I get your tayneh, 100%
But isn’t it a thing that pixels are not the phone for gaming? I believe Google themselves say that the chip will not game well…
When I was asking gemini about the tensor g6 (the last part is nogeiah here):
The short answer is no, not all of them will be fixed—because Google doesn’t actually view some of those “flaws” as mistakes. The complaints about the Tensor G5 generally split into two categories: Efficiency/Thermals (the phone getting hot and battery draining) and Raw Power (gaming performance trailing behind Snapdragon).
The Tensor G6 coming in the Pixel 11 will approach those complaints with a very specific, mixed strategy:
1. The Overheating & Battery Issues: YES, getting fixed
The biggest real-world complaint about Pixels is that they run hot—especially when you shoot 4K video, use 5G data, or multi-task heavily.
- The Fix: The Tensor G5 was a step forward because it finally moved to TSMC’s manufacturing process, but the upcoming Tensor G6 is taking a massive leap by utilizing an ultra-efficient 2nm node.
- The Result: This massive shrink means the phone will draw significantly less power, run much cooler, and sustain its battery life far better than the G5 during everyday tasks. Furthermore, leaks show Google is ditching Samsung modems in favor of MediaTek ones, which should fix the spotty, battery-draining cellular connection issues.
2. The Lack of Raw Gaming Power: NO, this is permanent
Mobile gamers hate the Tensor because it gets absolutely crushed by Snapdragon and Apple chips in heavy games like Genshin Impact or Call of Duty Mobile. If you want a chip that hits 120fps on ultra graphics, Google is intentionally telling you to look elsewhere.
- The Leaks: Recent internal leaks for the Tensor G6 reveal that Google is using an older, highly customized PowerVR CXTP GPU architecture.
- Why Google did this: Google refuses to dedicate valuable physical space on the chip to heavy graphics. Instead, they are shoving a massive Dual-TPU (Tensor Processing Unit) and a new “Metis” Image Signal Processor onto the chip.
Google’s Real Goal
Google isn’t trying to build the fastest chip in the world; they are building a chip explicitly optimized for the Pixel’s smart software. They want the chip’s power concentrated on running local “Agentic AI” tasks, processing computational photography instantly, and translating voice live without lagging out the system.
The Tensor G6 will feel like a much more refined, stable, and cooler chip for everyday use—but it will continue to be a disappointment for hardcore mobile gamers.
There’s no vram, so anything running high fps will use the regular ram and leave less available ram for the game, and the regular ram isn’t optimized for graphics

I have some apps on my phone that I don’t want running unless I am actively in them. The reason for this is I want the ram saved for the apps I use often such as phone and messages to load faster.
How can I make it that the second I leave the app it stops running. I disabled background activity under battery and it still seems to be running.
is there a way to access my email, from a tcl flip 2/go. without putting gmail app on? maybe a different app?
or a ai number?
Just dial the number… but we can’t help people bypass AI calling restrictions (which i think you must have).
You can use any about any email app but you have to use an app password not your regular password. There’s a thread somewhere on the forum that talks about DPAD compatible apps.

There’s an option in developer settings to kill apps when not in foreground, IIRC
Yes there is a one on the phone- email!
This is what happens when I need shirts:

Nice! I was about to ask you where you found that. Then I realized I should ask how you made that??
Haha yeah I made it
The one thing I can’t scrape is credit card rebate offers, so I just added it to the calculator for manual input.

This might help you, but sometimes using coupon codes deactivate the cash back anyway
I don’t understand: how can you scrape discount codes and know which ones are actually usable and reliable?
I have a system inputting each code into actual cart with a variable shirt amount, and parsing results.
Sticking with just rakuten for now.
Codes are being verified and pulled from the source, and minimally from coupon aggregators.
All done on CF worker.

very cool and now I have to ask: Why do coupon code sites not do that- and instead rely on either nothing or fake screenshots that don’t actually reflect the discount they are offering? Do they just make enough money from the click that they don’t care that anything should actually work?
Honestly don’t know. I’m using undocumented CT api endpoints for a lot of the functionality.
We shall see how it runs over time.
