jesus loving christ google, could you actually make this poo poo any worse if you tried?

for a start, why can't your garbage photos app resize images, something I'm pretty sure I did as an undergrad "intro to MATLAB" course in 2002, but the play store search now has sponsored, recommended, more results, an advert for some poo poo, then recommended again, then more results again



just look at this trash (my screen is on), it's even given the same apps multiple times

also one of these app icons looks like a floppy dong lol

if they show up multiple times in the results it means they're good, pick the one that shows up the most for the best app

to be fair, android probably doesn't have a matlab interpreter built in.

as someone with a sony phone, i have to say they don't even have a smart ecosystem. they've got a couple different apps for a few different things and they barely talk to one another

the biggest concern would be if your window, SWF-20T14LM8, you put in your house when you built it 10 years ago won't open because they only provided two years of support for it and now your house is on fire and you're trapped

the house is on fire because the tesla battery in the garage that powers your home burst into flames due to a cell failure

Y'all I found one thing that Android is better at than iOS: apparently with Android you can on-demand lock and unlock your kid's phone, and you can't do that with iOS. Hoping Tim will steal this feature in a few years.

my brother got an iphone for his step-daughter and she spends all her fuckin time using facetime to talk to people and it makes me want to snatch the phone out of her hand and smash it whenever shes over at the house with her parents. she originally had some like $5 samsung, but it couldn't do facetime so that got replaced p quick

unrelated, i really dislike people taking personal calls while on speakerphone

Kids definitely make fun of the Android havers because they ruin the group chats. In my kids' schools if you have an android you're straight up not invited to the group chat. It's rough out there.

just let the biggest company in the world blackmail you into spending 5x your budget on their correct brand

also loving lol at kids ruining group chats, *apple*, the absolute pinnacle of capitalist bullshit, is ruining group chat to wring a few more dollars out of poor parents and/or twist the perceptions of kids permanently
