they never recovered from those awful early android phones that couldn't handle scrolling and got like 1 lifetime software update.

Not even an exaggeration, my old coworker years ago was a no phone guy even though he was a mobile dev (know thine enemy) and even he had to give in.

One day his daughter was asked to go to a website on her phone in one of her freshman year highschool classes and she was the only kid in the class with no phone

https://arstechnica.com/gadgets/2024/02/googles-pixel-storage-issue-fix-requires-developer-tools-and-a-terminal/

if the latest update completely broke your pixel phone, Google now has a solution

it involves

  • enabling developer options on the phone (tap build number 7 times)
  • download and extract the sdk platform tools to a host computer
  • connect phone to host computer and set to the file transfer connection mode
  • open a terminal on the host computer, go to the platform tools folder, and type “./adb uninstall com.google.android.media.swcodec” and “./adb uninstall com.google.android.media”
  • reboot the phone
  • cross your fingers

behold the power of an operating system made out of pure Linux and Java
