This is why

The long and short of it - Google search was designed at a time when the web was in its infancy. Basically just text and a few images.

Fast forward to today, and reddit is the only one that still allows its data to be crawled.

As media has become more social (basically all of it) the walled gardens prevent you from even viewing content without an account.

Every platform wants you to be searching inside their service.

Google is useless.

It’s the name of the fucking app for god’s sakes

Hurr durr, wank off on a bullshit forum for a bullshit app lol. Get a fucking life.

P6P here had it since day one. My battery is not in the best shape, but not terrible either.

I just charge when it’s needed and adaptive charging has done a pretty good job of keeping the battery healthy.

Overall though at the end of the day I’m not sure there’s too much we as the user have control over.

I’ve stopped using lemmy for the most part and sync so who da fuq knows.

I still don’t get notifications from sync.

Amazing in 2023 people still referencing that 30 year old battery University article.

And liquid screen protector with a physical screen protector? C’mon my guy it’s just a phone.

It is interesting that the price has already dropped on the P8 and is expected to continue to drop thru black Friday.

This is precisely why I never buy new anymore, having been burned by two previous Pixel releases in the past.

This chip situation doesn’t bode well for my continued Pixel use however.

Software is important but it isn’t everything, and like the article said raw horsepower does matter. For me. The most important things are battery, life display brightness, and cellular connectivity - something my pixel 6 Pro objectively fails at on all three fronts.

Combine that with all of the data theft that Google software utilizes, and I think I’m pretty much done.

Well you got 15 words or so in before mentioning Linux.

Maybe for one liner discussions and smelling each other’s farts, but for in depth discussions is it not acceptable.

Fun fact: Google has to pay royalties to Windsor Castle since they had a Keep product first.

Only thing I’ve been paying for since 2012 has been a VPN. Problem solved.

Because people have a different opinion than you, you feel “bad” for me? Well I don’t feel a bit bad for you.

Ah yeah I hear ya. Those are definitely useful functions. I love my Chromebook as well.

Hover over what exactly? What precisely do you need to pop up for to explain what it does?

Yeah Capitalsim bad - every topic, capitalism bad.
