since this is the de facto google thread, today absentee landlords larry and sergei announced that they’re not showing up to work anymore and gave all of alphabet to sundar.

whether this is good or bad, who loving knows. it’s not like he’s done a great job reigning in the dicking around at google.

it's a piece of poo poo and a redundant device for me, but hey i saved a whole $20!

bull3964 posted:

Ok, there was another $20 off when you ordered from Fossil so I bought a Gen 5 Carlyle HR Smoke Stainless Steel for $185 and it arrived today.

It's nice? I mean, it's certainly the best WearOS watch I've ever used. The 1gb of ram really helps it out a lot compared to the Fossil Sport. It's really well put together and is a nice size.

So, that's where I am right now, swapping between a Smoke Gen 5 and a Black (actually sort of blueish) Galaxy Watch Active 2 depending on if I want to dress up or down. I'm also more likely to use the Samsung watch if I'm on a trip or am going to be away from an outlet for a long period of time. It's funny, the Gen 5 charges a shitton faster than the Active, but the active will likely last nearly twice as long (I'll have to see what real world usage is like on the Gen 5.)

Off to swappa with my Fossil Sport. It kinda feels like a toy after the Gen 5 and the Galaxy Watch Active 2.

I still have my battery replaced Moto 360 2 kicking around, but I have that paired to one of my other phones so I have something to wear if I switch over to it for some reason.

This is probably as good as it's going to get in Android Wearable land unless Google gets their thumb out of their rear end and actually tries to make a decent watch.

the second biggest fuckup was letting developers use chrome application storage for sensitive data

quote:

"Our app collects financial/transactional data (invoices, credits, etc) and absolutely cannot revert to the old data. Our users have assumed their unprocessed data has been lost and have already re-keyed in transactions that they collected while offline. There's now been 5 days worth of new transactions."

sup, bitch?

quote:

One Chrome developer, Tobias Sargeant, asked the crowd of developers: "Are you aware that you can test with beta versions of webview? This change was made in beta 6 weeks ago, and had the issue been picked up at that point we would have been able to address it before it significantly impacted users." Both Chrome and the Android System WebView have "stable," "beta," and "dev" versions freely available in the Play Store, and apparently no one caught this change in time.

it’s your fault for not testing our updates.

except the switch is already good, and specifically because it doesn't try to be any other kind of bullshit

streaming on the go is 100% a non-starter anyway, the case can just barely be made (for someone more competent than google) in a wired setting, but it is not even workable over wifi as things stand.
