True!

Then they don’t know what to say when you agree and say lock them both up.

Seems like we are going to have to wait for Google to actually release the dang things and then for the EU to step in and require it… Lord knows the US won’t do anything

I thought we couldn’t afford a home because we bought too much avocado toast?

It’s one of the best for sure!! Curds and burgers are all I need!

And hopefully everything becomes a standard so people on both operating systems can leverage these features together

This is great! I didn’t know that. Thank you, and I’ll definitely look into it for my state.

What’s frustrating is that my insurance from work (US citizen) will cover the cost of the vaccine but not the person administering the vaccine meaning I still have to pay for shots even with insurance.

To be clear - this is for me (an adult) but I can imagine this this situation could impact adults with children as well. Some people are becoming anti vax, yes, but some might be affected by the ~~greed of insurance companies ~~ financial cost of vaccination

What’s sad to me is seeing that they are banned in other countries and these companies have already adjusted their recipes for those countries. They chose to keep the more dangerous chemicals in the US because they weren’t forced to change. The US seems to not care about it’s citizens

The audacity of parents trying to buy something less expensive in these crazy inflated times

This is why we won’t ever get anything accomplished in government. Gone are the days of true compromise and doing what’s best for the country. Now, it’s just political theater and gaslighting

And insurance, and healthcare, and construction, etc. They are involved in so many different industries it’s almost hard to believe.

I agree with you and the OP of this thread. I don’t want to support a company with a walled garden approach and they over complicate things to be unique

Anything can be a dildo if you’re brave enough

Same. I held onto mine until it did go lol

Bingo

And thus they get extra money for the sale of the more expensive one. That’s the plan for why the cheaper model exists anyway

That seems worth the trade off in my opinion. All I want is a longer lasting battery so maybe that’ll be worth grabbing if I need a new device.

And yet my Pixel 7 Pro is stuck on the August patch. Glad I got this for the quick updates.

I think the argument is that the monopoly is present because it’s basically pointless outside of China to launch a phone without play services. So while you can release a phone based on AOSP, it’s not going to be successful financially without the Google apps and tweaks from Play Services
