You’ve got to realize that you’re comparing a server farm running gpt to a model running for most things locally, on the oldest phone that supports it. It’s as close to apples to o…

Is this specific to Debian?

You can update the OS using a Mac or PC.

NextDNS.

I use NextDNS instead of Pi-hole, and don’t have this issue on iOS 27 beta. I also never use the mentioned assist feature as I don’t want things going over cellular unless I need t…
