Google is also terrible but other search engines are worse.

bing is not absurdly terrible

also baidu is good for stuff although funnily enough it will show you links to stuff that's blocked in china

All these little details result in a really unique design, and its been clear since the original Pixel that Google wanted to create their own device instead of just carbon copying another laptop.

actually there is, heres two searches i just did





obviously its picked up on the keyword "pictures" and figured i want the image results closer, and the same thing with the word "buy" prompting the shopping results tos how up closer

even without those keywords it will still be trying to guess what you want and adapt to it, and it obviously can gently caress up

Look at this sniveling, nasally bullshit here. Why couldn't they just say "Hey we hosed up the whole thing and we're sorry"? First rule of customer service is you don't give a laundry list of excuses and sort of blame your customers :"huh, if you were using our business or ed apps, this wouldn't have happened, imagine that.... ". Just apologize.

i got a sms from someone using allo because it apparently told them i was using allo too (i was not). instead it just gave me a sms link and told me the message was from "joe".

good thing first names are unique and there is no more than one joe in the universe.

Lol, when you have the ability, it isn't too difficult to improve on OEM phone OS'es since unlike say iOS or Windows Phone, each one for Android is custom BS that seems immensely lacking once you have use a good custom Rom (Pure Nexus really is slim on actual changes, but some of the few settings he does add is great little QoL stuff. You don't really need a custom kernel to enjoy the device, but I do personally like to tinker within it a tad. Nexus/Pixel is pretty dang close to optimal Google empty and polished vs something from Samsung/LG (HTC has gotten pretty slim on their theming in recent years however. A HTC10 is a great phone as well with a fantastic camera and headphone AMP)

Though like mentioned above, you should still get a good 4hrs SoT unless you are playing games all the time and just ripping through battery. Check into the battery setting and possibly, maybe download the BetterBatteryStats that might give you a better look at what might be eating your battery so much. Even stock with Facebook and (in my case) 300ish apps, you should only loose about 3-4% an hr standby and still get 4hrs SoT. I have gotten it up to 5~ but the screen is a bit of a battery pig I can't get past without a really dark theme.
