you don't need 'to be fair'. nobody gives a poo poo about the extenuating circumstances that lead to the compromised design of android, nor does that excuse the fact that it's been almost a decade and it's still garbage. hth.

i use a lot of google services (and i really ought to stop but that ship sailed a long time ago). i was thinking about getting into smart speakers and decided maybe it would be good to look at the android ecosystem given i use google apps and siri homepod doesn't work with most of those apps from what i can tell.

i thought - hey, maybe android is good now it's been around a long time. maybe if i stay away from gimmicky poo poo??? so i tried a decent spec phone that i picked out for my father in law to replace his phone from 2013 that's finally dying and it was still pretty bad. poo poo just stuttering on a stock phone with barely anything installed. they've had how long to fix anrdoid?? and it still sucks what the hell???

although google search has become much worse and they love to kill off products, in general i've found google apps are miles ahead of where they were a decade ago. i naively thought maybe anroid may have also improved (lol)

yeah I only saw the phone as it got an Insta post by the guy who runs ACRONYM clothing, the high-end cyber/tech brand.

The idea that you have to leave your phone face-down on your desk etc to see your custom flashing notificaton lights, though - thats the sort of thing should get called out and written on a blue-sky thinking session flipchart and then everyone goes nah that's a terrible idea

yeah the first time i saw it i thought about how my phone always goes onto a wireless charger when it's not in my pocket and loled a bit

“Existing connections will be shut down” — Google is killing off Google Cloud IoT Core

:rubby:

also loved this little aside:

quote:

Google’s cloud losses meanwhile hit a giddy $858 million in Q2, largely on Google’s increased spending on data centres: the company insists it is committed to continuing to compete with fellow hyperscalers AWS and Azure.

considering even staying competent at your current level as a coder requires a fair amount of effort every year due to the changing tech landscape, that poo poo infuriates me so much

ime the best coders are the one that have a mix of experience with both launching and maintaining. many coders that just maintain stuff for years can end up with stagnant skills and many coders that only launch stuff don't know how to build for the long term
