I enjoy how this comment seems to counter what another commenter said about you.
It’s hardly a smear to point of a bias or perspective you hold. I’m not commenting on you, your politics, or worldview. Just pointing out that others should do their own research.
But if that is smearing in your perspective, and that makes me a ‘lib’, alright.
I agree with you. Disagreement in views isn’t a comment about an individual themselves.
That doesn’t change a pattern of posting and comments that are distinctly pro-Russian, pro-China.
Just be aware this poster is often posting pro-Russian, pro-China content. There’s value in other points of view and not being myopic, but if you pay attention to posting trends or look at their history, there is a clear bias and/or agenda.

They refused to send a model and asked him not to review until the new software was out. So they knew. He bought one anyway.
Don’t encourage the behaviour. As the saying goes… Give a man a fish and you’ve fed him for a day… Teach a man to fish and you’ve fed him for life.
This a huge step back for transparency with Meta (shocker). Access to this data is important for a variety of reasons, and using the recent EU laws as an excuse is deplorable (again, shocker from Meta).
It’s clear the data companies were left alone for too long to rule the schoolyard. It’s going to take some time to treat them and others what decorum looks like without throwing an absolute hissy fit.
Here’s hoping the EU, which seems to be the only teacher on the playground willing to discipline anyone, will set them straight.
This should be a setting under “Cast Options” in Google Play Services options. At least that’s where that generic notification is on my Pixel.
Won’t affect your “direct” casting, like Spotify, just the generic broadcast, without turning off the per device options.
I’ve turned off the broadcast on every device in my world, because I found it obnoxious.
😂 As a Canuck, we use both. But the computer term is definitely Kernel. Unless we’re marching out on a battlefield…

Really enjoyed the demo. 19 CAD is a little steep for what it appears to be though on my end. Looking forward to picking this up on a sale when it’s 50% off.
Someone give this writer a raise for not using AI to describe a new algorithm.
I’m genuinely confused how this is a thing. How are people rapidly pressing the power button 5 times in rapid succession without being aware of what they’re doing?
Now adding a 3 second press after those 5 presses is solving the problem? Mine as well go back to opening the phone app and dialling the number.
More specifically, it is enabled in the dev builds, but not in the user builds at this time.
Hook, line, and sinker? No. But Pixel Pass was a money thing, this promise is a brand thing.
Most people didn’t know Pixel Pass exists. They drop this promise, and I guarantee you your grandparents will know about it. It’s a brand killer kind of moment.
All I’m saying is the scales tip in favour of them holding this up. We’re on the 8th generation of Pixel phones now. Generations 4&5 we’re rough, but they stuck it through when it would have been easier to walk away.
This is a great move for Google, and goes beyond the minimum of what they needed to do. That’s a huge step forward for them, Pixels, and Android as a whole.
Right from the first Pixel, Google was seeking (for better or worse) to take a bite out of Apple’s pie. They’ve largely been successful in that. Without Google entering the fray, it would only be Samsung left.
They’ve elevated the hardware expectations of Android devices. Pushed the envelope of software integration. Shown that a bloat free experience is preferable and possible for the consumer (even though many here on Lemmy want a Google free device, that is a different discussion).
Now they didn’t merely match other OEMs, but exceeded their updated promises by years.
Android isn’t going anywhere. This is a pillar of their company now, and Pixels are a key part of that strategy. If Google dumped making Pixels, the whole Android ecosystem would be in doubt, because who would make phones if the maker itself doesn’t believe in them? Google, by jumping into the fray, has moved from a platform provider to a pillar of the hardware ecosystem.
So despite all the cynicism, which is justified for all but their core software, this promise has teeth. If they don’t follow through on this, we’re likely seeing the demise of Google as a company, not just the Pixel line.
The gating of a lot of the software features and UWB are really disappointing in the non-pro 8. I’d love a smaller phone, but they really do push you to the big one if you plan on keeping it for any length of time.
Even the pre-order bonuses are only for the larger phone.
Need more places calling them out on this.
If you aren’t up on the acronyms: The Wolf Among Us 2.
TL;DR: Samsung is better, according to the author.
Some questions remain though, as Google’s Magic Eraser gives multiple options for object removal. Some are quite bad or blotchy, others are nearly seamless. Don’t like any of the options it’s provided, then ask it to try again. The author doesn’t touch on this at all. Did they select the first option everytime? Was this the best of the options they were provided?
