Not for a while, at least not on their flagships.

Boogie. Not a favorite of mine and hated the Francis stuff, but I used to watch some of his gaming videos. He did his weight loss surgery about the same time as a relative so found that interesting. But good lord it’s been a descent since then,all of it self inflicted. Be it saying something stupid, firing a gun within city limits while getting into a pissing match with some other YouTube idiot, or losing his money in crypto. It’s hard to imagine someone that’s fallen further than him.

Watched the documentary on him last month and then went through his channel and it was embarrassing.

It’s dated but it still makes me chuckle so I leave it. Mines called Series of Tubes.

Man, that was a very thorough write up! I was familiar with the DND shit but not the Magic stuff. Was a sad read, but glad to know about it.

Perhaps. But it’s almost guaranteed that some sort of worker exploitation was involved.

Fucking A. I hate using Googles shitty messaging app, and maybe I would have more than 2 other rcs users in my contacts if the 3rd parties could implement it.

You make some valid points. But they pertain to your own experience. Their post is just as valid, because someone asked him why he was thinking about switching and he gave his own experience. Also a valid point for his own view. It’s an opinion after all.

To say you haven’t experienced the problems are well and good, but to trivialize his points down to “user error” was kind of dickish.

I can relate to the comment. Within the last month Google messages has required me to resync my tablet app several times. Fixing that required logging out all devices and changing the login method. Speaking of messages, the tablet app is… Not very good. Messages take a long time to notify there, well after my watch, and when I open the app the message still takes a couple seconds to show up as it is apparently retrieving the message from the phone app. Even though the message is (still) shown in the notification. Reading messages on the tablet don’t clear the read receipt on the phone. Various random bugs seem to popup. On the phone I randomly get pictures or messages I had written to OTHER PEOPLE waiting to be sent. Google messages is king of a shit app and I greatly miss Textra and even Samsung Messages. Thank you Google for not opening the RCS API to third parties.

But that’s just messages. Googles auto fill service has sucked from day one. Often I will click a username or password multiple times trying to get the popup to show up. I’ll then sigh, go open Bitwarden, copy my password, go back to the app, click on the password field, and then… the fucking auto fill popup appears. This experience has been shit from day one and Google has never made any attempt to fix it that I can see.

Android Autos new split screen is nice. But every once in a while the maps side will become unresponsive. Or the media app just dissapears and I have a black in its place. Only way to fix that is to unplug the phone and plug it back in. Super fun driving down the road.

I really could go on and on… Google has a habit of dumping random features in the OS and then never bothering to update again as they go on to their next shiny feature like the dog from the movie Up when someone yells squirrel. Apple users may be smug with their “just works” mantra, and they are not immune to bugs like any software developer, but it really does seem to be a more polished experience devoid of issues like the above. It’s also a lot more boring… but I can understand why someone would make a switch. Attributing another person’s issues to user error because you THINK the android experience is flawless seems rather snarky.

I don’t know, this is something that might be cool. But I’m not spending any significant amount of money on a Google project the way they cancel them on a whim. Good luck to them though.

Stable volume will be very nice if it works. Always jarring and annoying when you get that youtuber that plays an intro with blaring music and bass and then follows it up practically whispering his content.

Thanks for sharing, that was pretty nice. Does a good job of capturing the feel of an og Calvin strip.

The Tonight Show with Jay Leno Johnny Carson

Both Leno and Fallon are so boring.

Walter really didn’t deserve a happy ending though. Had it ended there I would have been pretty disappointed.

Hopefully they figure something out. In the Verizon CDMA days changing phones SUCKED. Knowing Verizon, watch for bullshit service fees anytime you have to use their website to swap esims. Future ain’t necessarily bright.
