After Oreo the most recent photo on my camera doesn't show up when I select it from the bottom right of the camera app. So that's nice. But it should be backed up to the cloud in *status animation still going on for the last half hour*

the best (worst) is when you click a link in the gmail ios app, and it pops up the android "which app would you like to use to browse? CHROME or safari" when you don't have chrome installed

lmao g-suite is just absolute loving trash. google's own data migration tool can't even reliably move mail from gmail accounts, support just shrugs, offers a random setting change and closes the ticket. of course their trash fire of an imap implementation also chokes if you attempt to push more than a few hundred messages from a client, so there's no manual migration either.

my favorite google feature is how it only lets you set your home and work address for google maps directions if you give them permission to save your location history if you enable location history for a minute, set your addresses and disable it they dont delete them (still visible in the gui) but you cant use them in your searches because gently caress you for trying to keep a modicum of privacy

infernal machines posted:i have no idea what kind of rear end in a top hat designed any of this poo poo, but i'll bet they make the BOFH look cuddly here’s my understanding of how things work at google. 1) googler or team of decide to go off on their own and do some project, with no consideration of what anyone else in the company is doing. 2) they write something and deploy it. 3) it turns out it doesn’t work for real world customers because of a million real world considerations. 4) team is already bored and moved elsewhere, abandoning their project. now comes the problem when there are paying customers. they can’t just be ignored because lol free service. so one of the team members is dragged off of whatever new thing they’re working on to go back and fix the thing for customers. they obviously don’t want to do this and have no incentive to get it done well, they just want to toss something out and move on. so they poo poo out something as fast as possible that kind of works but who cares if it actually meets customer needs. and that’s how you got your migration tool.

I was signing up for gsuite or whatever to put my mail behind a custom domain, but got sidetracked and didn't finish. when i came back, i tried putting in the same account name and it said something like "user already exists" which was weird because i never signed up! i used a different username and signed up because i figured i could just delete the other one i couldnt i could see it in a batch printout of all users in my account, but i had no way of deleting it. i ended up deleting my account after like 3 days when it hadn't fixed itself. i'd rather not go into the google customer support purgatory

I’m not a computer janitor but I signed up for gsuite once for a little side project with like 4 other people. just administering that was painful enough, I can’t imagine how bad it would be to actually have a large number of users.

Replace "dragged off" with "manager who was voluntold to fix it scrounges for heads from the new hire pool and anyone desperate enough for any seat in their metro because their last team was defunded and they'll be laid off in two months" and you're not too far off the mark.

also being part of this kind of project is almost totally necessary in order to get promoted technically the requirement is to demonstrate that you can do technical design by building a portfolio of design documents but obviously there are a lot more opportunities to write those when you're doing something from scratch than when you're incrementally improving an existing product. and the fact that the project should never have been approved doesn't reflect on the engineers (even the senior ones who pushed for it)

my favourite google thing rn is they got rid of the Google Drive client for macos and there's now two replacements to choose from "Drive File Stream" makes it permanently appear as removable storage "Backup and Sync from Google" is largely identical to the old Google Drive client except you have to delete Google Drive and then install the "Backup and Sync from Google" client which has the catchy title "Backup and Sync From Google.app" in your applications folder
