good news! the worst-selling phone of the last year is getting compatibility with the world's least necessary audio format through the streaming service that's about to go out of businessquote:Essential Products, founded by Android co-founder Andy Rubin, has partnered with MQA to deliver MQA studio quality sound to the Essential Phone. This boost to the handset’s audio capabilities comes as part of Essential’s commitment to deliver new software features and updates to its community. Essential customers will be able to stream MQA music via global music and entertainment platform, TIDAL, by downloading the Android app from Google Play. TIDAL is constantly adding more master-quality music, allowing fans to hear the sound of the original recording.

it would be neat if google continued insourcing bits of pixel development to make an actual nice Android, but I'm not convinced they won't shitcan the entire thing 2 years from now when they get distracted by another shiny object

My pixel 1 reboots 3 times a day for no reason after the latest update. Thats up from 1 time a day previously. I'm replacing this piece of poo poo with whatever the best iPhone is in a few months. I have spent way too long suffering from the effects of DYP brain worms I got when picking my first smart phone in college. Best pixel feature? After a reboot your alarms aren't active until you open the app that set them. If your phone reboots in the middle of the night then gently caress you.

Some devices will be fine and some will just randomly get hosed by an update. I'm actually super careful with my phone and it is always either in my purse or flat on a table. I barely have anything installed either. None of the usual custom launchers or whatever that dypers gently caress their phones with

Flagship designs from Google like the Pixel or the old Nexus are an important indicator. They're saying: "We, the assholes who literally made the OS and all the software, swung a big enough dick to get the handset manufacturers to do exactly what we wanted on this device and even then we were unable to make a usable device using Android. Please buy iOS."
