  • You don’t get the point of MagSafe?

    I have a Pixel Stand and a Quad lock MagSafe wireless charger.

    The Pixel stand requires me to place the phone perfectly, and sometimes if I’m half a millimeter off, it’ll tell me to align the phone better.

    The MagSafe Quad lock snaps into place with magnets and gets full speed charging with no chance of it becoming misaligned.

    Would you prefer a screwdriver with a magnetic head, or without? Do you like when your screws fall off?







  • Well if you watch the video, you’ll see that Casetify had their own design, it was the internals of an iPhone, and they printed it on all cases, including android cases.

    Dbrand made fun of them.

    Casetify then straight up stole the dbrand images and sold them.

    It was worse than just “finding” the images online. They straight up got made fun of from a company, who clearly had their eyes on them, and their solution was to steal the competitions images lol.








  • Most apps don’t create error messages in the gui and that’s hard for average users to grasp.

    I just went through 3 fucking days of troubleshooting why this program wont work. Finally issued a bug report, it got closed in 30 minutes, dev responded with “ya, those features are currently disabled, terminal will show you a warning when you launch it”.

    Great. And nothing for the GUI users?

    The biggest annoyance to me is that Linux fanboys will say how you never have to touch a terminal if you don’t want to, but when you bring up how ridiculous it is to disable features, keep them enabled on the GUI, and only throw a warning in the terminal, they’ll tell you to use the terminal lol.


  • Google Home Maxes (both EOL’d)

    Except they continue to work perfectly. What would you like to see changed? Since it runs in the cloud, you’re always getting up to date Google assistant tech on them. When Google adds new commands to Google Assistant, Google Home Max automatically gets them. A firmware update is not required.

    a Google OnHub (updates stopped after ~18 months)

    Google OnHub is part of what I said in my original comment. Google WiFi got fucked. However, you’re completely lying.

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Google_OnHub

    Released 2015.

    and

    “In December 2021, Google announced that OnHub routers would no longer receive any software or security updates.”

    18 months is 1.5 years. 2016 - 2021 is 5 years. Not sure why you’re lying?

    HTC M7(8?) Google Play Edition, Nexus…I had bad luck, but I’m not trusting another piece of Google hardware for my life.

    The fact you’re using examples from 2013 to criticize Google a decade later is wild. I guess it’s easier to just be ignorant and hateful.
