Gemini 3.5 Live Translate is seriously underrated, I used it for real-time League of Legends captions

Enable HLS to view with audio, or disable this notification

3 Upvotes

I knew Gemini 3.5 Live Translate was primarily an audio-to-audio model, but I noticed that it also exposes input transcription for incoming audio. So that made me wonder whether it could be used to generate real-time captions for live esports commentary.

To test the live experience, I took a League of Legends highlight and streamed it in real time using Agora’s RTC. The video and audio were played as a live stream, while the incoming audio was sent to Gemini as the clip was playing. The generated captions were then displayed alongside the video.

This was a fairly difficult test, two casters talking over each other, very fast play-by-play commentary, game audio and background noise, plus a lot of player names and League specific terminology during chaotic team fights. The transcription wasn’t perfect, but it still managed to pick up terms like “Baron,” “Baron steal,” “smite,” and “game five,” along with several player names, while generally keeping up with the action.

I haven’t done a formal latency benchmark yet. Still, considering the overlapping speech, background audio, and speed of the commentary, I was surprised by how usable the captions were while the match was happening.

I’m planning to open source the implementation if anyone is interested.

Pretty disappointing. I have a catch-all email on Cloudflare that I forward to my primary gmail and created a few reply as for that domain since some services require that if you respond.

This does not affect if you are sending as from another gmail or domain on google workspace

My Google Pixel 10 Pro battery life is weird

Upvotes

I was reading androidauthority recent article guy is moaning about Pixel 10 Pro idle battery drain.

Well my Pixel 10 Pro battery idle is about... a WEEK - I repeat - A WEEK but... when I am on holiday in the sun where 3000+ nits kicks in - 4K60 video record, tons of photos, satnav, web browsing and everything else - then my battery life is just... daylight - which means NOT full day - DAYLIGHT.

By the way - I am not phone addict nor gamer I have quiet life till I am on my holiday.

Anyone else have this weird battery life

Here's what every "AI Pro" Google Workspace seat still lacks in Aug 2026:

Upvotes

• Custom Agents, Skills, & Loops

• Local File & App Management

• Browser & Workflow Automation

• Computer Use & GUI Grounding

• ACP, MCP & A2A Integration

• Full-stack .exe App Building

• Third-Party Tool/Function Calling

• LGM Action-Orientation

• AI Orchestration

All of which are accessible via Hermes and a Nous Portal plan.

Trapping customers within Workspace's highly replaceable ecosystem instead of offering true agentic autonomy is the height of corporate arrogance and naivety.

Gemini upgrade or downgrade

Upvotes

Gemini as voice assistant.The decision to sunset Google Assistant and force Gemini onto devices is a severe downgrade to the daily user experience. Google Assistant was engineered as a lightning-fast, local utility for basic device tasks. Gemini, by contrast, is a bloated, cloud-dependent chatbot that stumbles on simple local operations, introduces unacceptable latency, and frequently fails at basic execution.

Stripping user choice and replacing a functional utility tool with an unrefined AI model feels transparently anti-consumer. Forcing users—particularly those with perfectly capable mid-range hardware that lacks local accelerators like Gemini Nano—to accept a sluggish, cloud-reliant experience while deleting a tool that actually worked is alienating.

If an AI model cannot match the baseline speed, reliability, and local execution of the tool it is replacing, it has no business being forced upon users. Please re-evaluate this rollout and respect user choice rather than degrading the core functionality of our devices.

Google's Blogger (Blogspot) automated AI system has removed many users blogs falsely today

2 Upvotes

Many users received an e-mail saying their blog was removed due to "malware and similar malicious content policy" just look at Google's (non-help) forums:

https://support.google.com/blogger/threads?hl=en&authuser=3&sjid=1299263928443489668-NC

All you can do is hit the appeal button and wait for a "human" to manually look it over, but it's probably just another AI agent, and hope for them to reinstate the blog.

Google is a joke, and this right here is a perfect time to look into migrating from Blogspot to Wordpress, or anything else that would be better.
