The phone is drastically smaller than most slab phones these days. So it’s very easy to use with one hand. Then when it’s unfolded, the large inner screen is amazing for viewing photos, reading ebooks, comics and reading Reddit/websites.

To be fair, alcohol is a poison.

There’s a surprising amount of programmers that don’t know basics of various parts of an operating system. I know people that know several languages, but get lost on installing a mod pack for a game or installing an app from within another app like a browser.

MicroXP!? What year is it!?

Some people will. The majority won’t care.

It means for every $10 he gets charged, he’s paying $3 for stuff like gst, carbon tax, etc. $7 is for the actual gas or whatever he is consuming.

I was hoping more people would use RCS but I guess SMS will probably be the old fax machine in the future.

Putting a child in and out of a bike carrier is a ton easier compared to a car seat. It’s not really an issue.

Yet people say that city people are always in a rush.

When the store is walkable, your bulk buying turns into one bulk item that you walk to and get.

Basically its the same way you get something bulk from your trunk into your house. Which is probably your hands and arms.

Fun isn’t subjective at all /s

Have you ever heard of capitalization?

What’s sad is that I know I will forget the lore and the journey on how I figured out how I got to the end. But I don’t think I’ll forget the specifics for the ending.

The GSMA is not Google. Nice try though.

Do people forget about SMS? Apple’s solution uses that too. It’s shit. This is about replacing SMS with RCS. It’s hard to argue that Apple’s solution is better if you can only use it within Apple’s ecosystem.

It might be a density thing. I often notice that the left lane being full in dense city populations. Get a tad outside and it’s back to normal.

There’s a chance that it previously was filled with water so they have an idea. Looks crazy heavy tho. Probably a 75L tank and most can’t support 75kg of weight like that.

Google One is the marketing people are probably referring to for privacy.

The pixel has the default function for DNS over HTTPS and their Google One offering has a VPN to “protect” your data. Both of those are sold as privacy measures.

I see a lot of responses here seem kinda out of touch with the actual functionality of the phone and what marketing pushes Google does.

Good point. Can’t win them all. If life was perfect then a simple communication could be used if need be. If only people didn’t wanna hit other people all the time or something.

I don’t get this. You slow down if you don’t want to hit people. You also have a set of eyes. Are people not able to go “person walking in front, let’s slow down and go behind them”. If it’s a wall of people, then of course you stop.
