I almost use it exclusively to chat with people via RCS. And next year when Apple adds RCS support, it’ll then be exclusively RCS.

Published 9 hours ago? I have like 8 apps on my phone that have said this for a long time now. How did it take an Android blog this long to make an article?

It never made the folder for me, and when I made it with AOSP file manager (the only one that has permission), I cannot move the file into the folder without root lol

How do you create the required folder without root?

Hilarious

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.

They’ve released a new phone every year for a long time, though. This isn’t anything new.

H.265 on my phone is not 50% the size. Maybe ~25% less at maximum.

I.too.prefer.dots.over.spaces.

Why? In Canada they offered a pre-order deal. Buy a phone, get a free $500 watch. You can sell the watch and you’re laughing.

I love it. I just wish we were allowed to manually pick the 3 colours.

Denuvo games that have been unpirated for years. Software that is not cracked. Not everything is piratable, unless you’re some magic person that can do it.

I mean shit, can you even get a copy of DaVinci Resolve Studio 18 for Windows right now?

Works perfectly for me. Do you have a Samsung device? Because they basically ignore it.

Snapchat has been this way for quite a long time on pixels.

Do you realize not everything is piratable?

I messed around with it back when it was apparently better than it is now, and it sucked ass. Fed me outdated info, broken code, and overall was a nightmare.

Tried it recently real quick because I was converting my code, and I didn’t want to dig in the documentation, and the info ChatGPT spit out was 100% false. Not even broken, just wrong.

Me when I begin and end my app.

The middle part is fun. The setting everything up part sucks, and the polishing sucks.

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.

Telegram is great. Pioneers of chat apps, honestly. They have every feature first, and no matter how many they add, their app seems to never become a bloated piece of shit.

I’ve recently switched from Telegram to RCS, but I used Telegram for nearly a decade.

The Nexus Q was given away at no cost to attendees of Google I/O, but the product’s consumer launch was indefinitely postponed the following month, purportedly to collect additional feedback. Those who had pre-ordered the Nexus Q following its unveiling received the device at no cost.

So again, Google decided not to launch something, and people got it for free.

Google may be wishy washy for many things, but I’d argue their hardware support is mostly pretty good.
