I just updated a lineage phone last night, slightly annoying you need adb for major upgrades

tiktok formula?

Ok, good! Thanks!

Thank god we had ReVanced and now we have Morph.

Yet another reminder to use third party tools wherever possible

TLDR: You can now prevent Wi-Fi, airplane mode, and mobile data from being toggled off while on the lock screen.

If you have an eSIM device, that means anytime it's on, it can be tracked. And the only way to stop it would be to turn it off entirely.

If your device is still physical sim only, then the thief could just remove the sim card, and that would disable mobile data, obviously.

This is actually why I do not have the toggles for mobile data and airplane mode in my quick settings.

Pixels use Skylo, not anything Musk related.

I've actually disabled it yesterday anyway. Not using anything musk related.

It's not even open source. And the hardware is expensive.

Like the other person said, you should really switch to another ROM like Graphene or Lineage. (Graphene has a bit of a learning curve for newer users IMO)

It's Android.

I don't buy bleeding edge. Motorola is not yet available and so premium it will be dearer than Pixels.

News pixels starting with 11, even that's not a plus point. GOS is instead launching a phone in partnership with motorola.

Their Nexus phones too, but at least then they were priced accordingly!

Ding-ding-ding! Windows and MacOS are super easy to centrally manage - even to the extent that a user can perform a full wipe and reinstall from generic installer and the device will still be fully managed - but iOS and GoogleChromeOSBookOS take it to a whole other level. Any IT department worth their salt can take ten thousand ChroogleBooks from shopping basket to fully configured and ready to use without even having to unbox them.

The only reason to buy Pixels is GOS.

Classic Google.

Almost every Pixel phone generation has had some kind of common hardware defect.

For good reason - Google's firmware and quality control are absolute shit. I have a Pixel 10 and there's hardly a day goes by that I'm not dealing with multiple problems.

Last week I was out of the country with no access to wifi and a very limited roaming data plan. Without notification Google pushed a 1.4GB firmware file on mobile data which used up all my plan's remaining data.

My BT speakers work fine with older versions of Android, but with the Pixel on Android 16 and 17 one speaker has 2 volume levels, off and 100%, the other speaker blasts at full volume momentarily when playback starts. Plenty of other bugs too.

I've always wondered why the Google employees I've known have carried Iphones. After purchasing a Pixel I understand.

only usefull thing about googlebooks is when people start to throw them away, and someone finds a way to install linux on them, there will be a new option for an arm laptop, and a cheap one at that

Like chromebooks, these are probably aimed primarily at educational institutions

Yeah, just like there were no issues with 810, or 8 gen 1. It's all rumours and speculation.

Is it some custom google os? Who needs that

Maybe if they sell them cheap and you can image Linux on there it would be neat, but not sure who would want it otherwise, like the Chromebooks before

I don't think I've seen a positive review of these things yet. Not really looking, but everything I've seen in passing sure ain't selling me.
