"This may be an unpopular opinion but I really wish Google would look over these updates more thoroughly. This is a huge issue, not sure how they missed this before releasing Oreo," wrote one Redditor. "It's like teachers telling you to proof read something before submitting it. Now a whole bunch of people have probably used up all their data and some more which comes with extra fees."

i'm the unpopular opinion that google should test the updates before pushing them out

lol yeah just impossible to solve

he's right though

that jankiness has been part and parcel for anroid since the beginning and sure people complain but they've been stockholm syndrome'd and keep buying phones regardless so why should the oems give a gently caress enough to fix it.

cycling in general is cool and good and should be encouraged, but i personally am not willing to cycle in dense city traffic going 30+ when i can't keep pace with it and have to be constantly passed by dickheads who would rather risk clipping a cyclist than be delayed by 5 seconds on the way to the next red light.

if you are, then i genuinely wish you good luck with it, but it's a big ol' nope for me.

i've biked over 9k miles this year, granted i bike mostly in the countryside with minimal traffic, but i've kind of just accepted that i'll probably die on a bike so might as well enjoy it.

sometimes it means the app is poo poo that is to say it generates a new and unique notification for each thing instead of updating the existing notification. ive never seen this personally but ive seen it enough in screenshots to know thats whats happening. like hangouts will never show multiple notifications no matter how many messages you have but i think if you take five screenshots you get five notifications

sometimes (rarely since this is a nougat feature) you can have multiple notifications from the same app because theyre in different notification channels. as an example my podcast app has a notification channel for playback controls and new eps (among others) so its possible to see a notification for a playing podcast while having another for a new ep. each channel is completely configurable from whether and how you want it to display to whether it uses the light or makes sounds

android should ship with an app that just shows train videos and nothing else

Supersu is dead and as far as I can tell Magisk is the only way to root any more

It's good because you can do it systemlessly and hide it from other apps. When you install the ad blocker make sure to choose systemless ad blocking in Magisk

3d touch is dumb as gently caress and exists purely because they couldn't figure out how to keep the ui interaction simple

force touch owns on the keyboard for moving the cursor around and it's good for the slide up settings/app drawer

i use it for literally nothing else tho
