  • This just in, Google will he deprecating their phone app fart button in 18 months for the new and improved Android Poots button.

    Wait, we’re just now getting word that in 7 more months, Android Poots will be replaced with Google Toots. All 3 buttons will be active at the same time while Google works on feature parity.

    You’ll never believe this, insiders are telling us that 4 months after Google Toots, Google will be introducing Google Farts to replace Google Toots. Google Farts will be different than the original Fart button, not sure how but we are expecting it’ll be a worse experience.

    And finally, 6 months later, after hundreds of millions of dollars spent, somehow none on marketing, and after generating a healthy user base that defied all odds, Google will begin to shutdown all 4 buttons and lay off all the teams that worked on them.














  • You’re thinking ahead to 30-40 years from now.

    I think it’ll affect us a little sooner but generally, yeah, that’s exactly it

    If the narrow screen bugs you, it’s worth considering the Pixel Fold IMO

    I had the Pixel 7 Pro and when it was cool outside, it was great. It ran warm though and I’m outside a lot so when it got to summer, it became frustrating to use. Just getting the camera to open took twice as long and navigating the UI would be inconsistently choppy. I’m probably going to wait until the Tensor G4 or G5 (the later being rumored to use TSMC’s foundry) before seriously considering a pixel again.

    Fold 6 it is


  • Ignoramuses who believe Android is technologically falling behind

    Not sure if that was a general statement of directed at me so I guess I’ll say that I don’t believe Android is falling behind, I just think that if the overwhelming majority of Americans are using iPhones, it will be detrimental to the experience of using an Android phone in America as the years go on. Recent articles have said it’s something like a 50/50 split of between iPhone and android users who are adults but closer to 87/13 for teens. That’s concerning because they are getting locked in and unless Apple makes a major misstep, they’ll likely get iPhone’s for their kids when the time comes. It’s looking like a slow burn

    How do you like your fold 5? I was considering getting one but I’m kind of turned off due to the narrow cover screen; holding out for the fold 6. I haven’t used a Samsung phone since touchwiz and have been switching between Pixel’s and iPhones ever since. How is OneUI after a year or so of use, any slowdown or have they pretty much fixed that?
