This is the event where they announce the Nexus 17 using some chips they found dumpster diving in in the Transmeta parking lot a decade ago, right?

Oh, works on anything with Kitkat. But if you have M it users the new standard finger print api.

I thought Android Pay was just a less retarded update of Wallet with a new framework.

Google is just getting you to give them billions of photos for them to practice their machine learning on. Good for them.

When do they normally announce the new hardware crap? I figured they would have at least teased the next version of Wear OS/Hardware at the beginning instead of rehashing the already released OS update.

Unfortunately, Photos has stopped.

3998 photos left to back up. Kinda weird because they're all on my Google+ Photos already. Hopefully this doesn't turn into a clusterfuck of duplicates.

Yeah, I'm kind of confused. Loaded the new photo app and it has the same icon as the old photos app. It install, added a second icon and then uninstalled the old app. Same deal, uploading all the photos from my phone even though they were already all synced to Google+ Photos.

I thought Google Photos was private? I uploaded like 400 pictures and they were all viewable through my google+ account apparently. I checked in the settings for both photos and G+ but didn't see anything to not show pictures...kind of confused.

On a similar note I noticed that one of my friend's photo tag photo was a picture of him that I have never seen before and doesn't appear in the tagged photos.

Regardless play with the search tool, it is really, really impressive, now i just need to get about 20 gigs of photos laying around half a dozen hard drives uploaded.

As a side note, 95% of my photos are well under 16 MP and 99% of my video is under 1080p but if I choose keep original quality and they are well under 16 MP does it count against my data cap? It's not a big deal, I have about 100 gigs of unused good storage but it would be nice if they didn't.

So, basically you are stuck.

If I upload 15gb worth of photos at original quality and I let my 1tb of promotion expire, my Drive space will be effectively cutoff for any new additions and in order to move photos to "unlimited", I'll have to remove and re-upload them (which means I will have to redo all album work as well.)

So, what this is essentially encouraging me to do right now is zero out my photo library and start from scratch with "High quality" so I can ensure that photos are never going to take up any or my Google storage.

It would be nice if they gave you a "convert to high quality" option on existing photos.

Part of me feels like the already reasonable cost of Google storage is just going to get cheaper and cheaper while devices with higher and higher functional resolutions are going to become more and more ubiquitous. I mean it's a bet but it seems like a reasonable one.

OK, I retract this, drat Google Images is good at pulling faces out of the background, it just happened to be a really good photo of him that he just happened to be in the background up.
