Google One gives you an itemized look at what is using your storage space. All of the Google Apps are represented, device backups, and individual apps that are using Drive for storage too. I’d presume it would point you in the right direction, without needing to manually download everything and sift through.

TL;DR: Samsung is better, according to the author.

Some questions remain though, as Google’s Magic Eraser gives multiple options for object removal. Some are quite bad or blotchy, others are nearly seamless. Don’t like any of the options it’s provided, then ask it to try again. The author doesn’t touch on this at all. Did they select the first option everytime? Was this the best of the options they were provided?

I enjoy how this comment seems to counter what another commenter said about you.

It’s hardly a smear to point of a bias or perspective you hold. I’m not commenting on you, your politics, or worldview. Just pointing out that others should do their own research.

But if that is smearing in your perspective, and that makes me a ‘lib’, alright.

I agree with you. Disagreement in views isn’t a comment about an individual themselves.

That doesn’t change a pattern of posting and comments that are distinctly pro-Russian, pro-China.

Just be aware this poster is often posting pro-Russian, pro-China content. There’s value in other points of view and not being myopic, but if you pay attention to posting trends or look at their history, there is a clear bias and/or agenda.

They refused to send a model and asked him not to review until the new software was out. So they knew. He bought one anyway.

This should be a setting under “Cast Options” in Google Play Services options. At least that’s where that generic notification is on my Pixel.

Won’t affect your “direct” casting, like Spotify, just the generic broadcast, without turning off the per device options.

I’ve turned off the broadcast on every device in my world, because I found it obnoxious.

Global owns the airing rights to SNL in Canada.

I think you may be confused as to who you’re responding to. I’m reading some outrage in your response that is directed towards others and their statements, nothing that I’ve written or believe.

There’s no argument to be made. A (good) translator into another language with take into account the intent of the original language and translate it into a comparative version. That can mean changing stories, or idioms that no longer land in the new language.

I’m not the person who made any claim about reading speeds, and I would disagree wholeheartedly with that baseless statement.

Translation isn’t a 1 to 1 process. Every language has difference, idioms, etc. My understanding is that sign language is no different.

The translator makes choices to convey meaning, as well as the literal sense.

Would you rather watch content in your native language, or subtitled? If you read translated content, it’s fine. But it’s not the same as hearing something performed for you. Might be hard to grasp if your language is largely auditory and written, rather than visual and emotive.

Just because sign language is a visual language, does not mean reading is an equivalent. There is a ton of nuance and feeling that goes into communicating through sign language that is not possible through text alone.

Beyond the communication piece, there is respect of an individual who natively speaks a language, and the importance of keeping the language alive.

It’s articles like this that make me glad there are numerous horses in the race.

Autonomous driving is an incredibly complex problem. We have people like Musk who thought they could throw money at the problem and have it solved in a few years, with disastrous results.

We’ve lost Uber, and Cruise is flagging. Both had been touted as examples to follow. Both have had some serious safety problems from moving too quickly and lacking caution.

Behind all of this is Waymo. Plodding along, gathering vast amounts of data and experience and iterating slowly.

I think they, out of all these players, understand the stakes at hand, and the potential profit on the other end. But you have to get it right. It has to be nearly perfect, because people need to trust it, and our emotions are fickle.

I’m genuinely confused how this is a thing. How are people rapidly pressing the power button 5 times in rapid succession without being aware of what they’re doing?

Now adding a 3 second press after those 5 presses is solving the problem? Mine as well go back to opening the phone app and dialling the number.

More specifically, it is enabled in the dev builds, but not in the user builds at this time.

Hook, line, and sinker? No. But Pixel Pass was a money thing, this promise is a brand thing.

Most people didn’t know Pixel Pass exists. They drop this promise, and I guarantee you your grandparents will know about it. It’s a brand killer kind of moment.

All I’m saying is the scales tip in favour of them holding this up. We’re on the 8th generation of Pixel phones now. Generations 4&5 we’re rough, but they stuck it through when it would have been easier to walk away.

This is a great move for Google, and goes beyond the minimum of what they needed to do. That’s a huge step forward for them, Pixels, and Android as a whole.

Right from the first Pixel, Google was seeking (for better or worse) to take a bite out of Apple’s pie. They’ve largely been successful in that. Without Google entering the fray, it would only be Samsung left.

They’ve elevated the hardware expectations of Android devices. Pushed the envelope of software integration. Shown that a bloat free experience is preferable and possible for the consumer (even though many here on Lemmy want a Google free device, that is a different discussion).

Now they didn’t merely match other OEMs, but exceeded their updated promises by years.

Android isn’t going anywhere. This is a pillar of their company now, and Pixels are a key part of that strategy. If Google dumped making Pixels, the whole Android ecosystem would be in doubt, because who would make phones if the maker itself doesn’t believe in them? Google, by jumping into the fray, has moved from a platform provider to a pillar of the hardware ecosystem.

So despite all the cynicism, which is justified for all but their core software, this promise has teeth. If they don’t follow through on this, we’re likely seeing the demise of Google as a company, not just the Pixel line.

The gating of a lot of the software features and UWB are really disappointing in the non-pro 8. I’d love a smaller phone, but they really do push you to the big one if you plan on keeping it for any length of time.

Even the pre-order bonuses are only for the larger phone.

Need more places calling them out on this.

If you aren’t up on the acronyms: The Wolf Among Us 2.

The idea of the product is really great. The cost is prohibitive for all but major corporate customers.

Add in Google’s track record of killing products… just like this… and why would you invest?

Jamboard needs to be a tablet companion app first, and the hardware can follow. If they’re going to keep coming up with these halo products, then they need to support them for the long term. They also need to be willing to bite the bullet and give these away to lock people into Workspace because it’s unique and no one else does it.

Now it’s another reason to not buy in.
