google ditching the nexus name and standard android and licening touchwiz from samsung since that's what people actually buy

sup, bitch?
Nests entire platform team will become part of Google, which also resides under the Alphabet umbrella, in order to create a unified Internet of things platform. It will be led by longtime Google executive Hiroshi Lockheimer, who currently serves as senior vice president of Android and who recently assumed more responsibility for living room products. The combined group also will continue to work on Google Home, a smart speaker rival to the Amazon Echo, while simultaneously fending off Amazon challenges elsewhere in the smart home.

Nest and Google are likely to pitch this as an obvious synergy, but it also plays into ongoing efforts to pare costs at smaller Alphabet units other than Google. By moving Nest software developers over to Google payroll, Nests financial situation would improve dramatically (so long as new Nest-branded products continue to be developed).

the touchwiz bit was hyperbole, for now anyway. probably just means that custom launcher that's already leaked

but yeah looks like Google is probably gonna gently caress up the nexus line

its more than just launcher according to leaks as it affects the nav bar too

its not really any different from everything else theyve been doing afaict its still a google branded device with a lot of proprietary bits on top as long as the factory images are available idgaf

the worst coffee i had was when we visited boston. we didnt know that the place basically shuts down on sunday (and at night) so when were wandering around on a chilly, drizzly sunday morning the only place we could find to get warm drinks was a dunkin donuts. i just ordered "coffee with cream" and what they handed me was nearly white it had so much cream in it. then they kicked us out because it was 5 to noon and they were about to close. boston was weird.

Dunk's is open until about 6pm so idk what idiot dunk's you went to

Canada broadband is a great example of what happens when you deregulate too much which is ironic considering canada's healthcare being the opposite.

Currently Shaw has a 150/15 deal for only $49.90*&^# a month with a Price Guarantee%


* $49.90 for the first year only.
^ $79.90 for the second year.
& $135 after that.
# must sign 2-year contract
% this is obviously not a price guarantee of any kind. it is actually a contract that lets them raise the price. it's the exact opposite.


i'm not making any of this up. so as you can see this deregulation leads to a lot of worthwhile innovation.

just ordered Shaw 150Mbps for 60 Canadian pesos a month ($46 in real money)

you should call right now and see if there is a grace period to get out of that. i'm not kidding. the whole reason for this plan was to get you on a contract before Telus Fibre reaches your house, which could be any day now literally. they have like half of vancouver serviced now. 150/150 is $85/mo sans-contract which is what you'll be paying after the first year. thats after their 6-month sign up deal of 50% off or whatever. and ping is better.

It's only $235 more over 2 years, for contract-free fibre.

EDIT: actually only $235 cause I see there is a 6-month intro price offered too.
